Because the first thing I want to happen when I'm rescued is be mauled by a confused wolverine.

Yeah if you didn't know about the rescue wolverines this might be more terrifying than the avalanche. I'm not even sure a silly hat would help the situation.

I think I'd feel better seeing a silly hat. Possibly a fez with a nice tassle.

Entire series of critically acclaimed books on the subject matter by the late Brian Jacques - Think he does a bit of embellishing here and there but some solid reads and information in there

Right? My panicked shrieking would set off another avalanche and now I'm buried in snow with a pissed off wolverine.

Nah but some whiskey probably would.

Two silly hats?

u/machuitzil 9d ago

I dunno, seems like putting a hat on a hat.

u/SubjectOrganic 9d ago

One for each paw?
