There's Even A Feather In It

We went to Target yesterday to pick up some necessities (oxyclean, sparkly red shoes, cowboy pajamas) and I finally broke down and bought a hat. A green felt Tom Landry number. I'm pretty pleased with it.

I'm concerned, however, that, in addition to cowboy boots, my J. Peterman topcoat, and the Musketeer facial hair, the hat may be one affectation too many. Nevertheless, I can't bring myself to part with it, or with any of the others, so I believe the only option is to go in the opposite direction and pick up even more borderline ridiculous accessories. Here are some of my current ideas:
  • cane
  • monocle
  • pocket watch
  • pipe
  • checkered pants
  • briefcase (presumably filled with snacks)
  • Segway
  • spurs
  • fez
  • eyepatch
  • parrot
  • bodyguard named Ribeye
  • pot-bellied pig
And of course, I'm always open to suggestion.

Go with the cane and monocle. They infer the rest.

There's always the "butterfly child" as accessory perched on the shoulder. Also, a hook for a hand is good. Or how about a glass eyeball? What about a toy piano?

I think perhaps a 'one-man-band' ensemble might do nicely. I'm less enthusiastic about things that require bodily mutilation.

I feel I am the accessory to the butterfly child, not the other way around.
