Quite, thus my interest. Not often you meet a man who eats his hats.

Journalism in its purist form is an "average" Joe finding something extraordinary and talkin about it.


Well, since you have to bring it up, I made up this name when I first was prompted to create an account name for the internet something like 6 years ago. Also, I have been told that eating your hat is some sort of expression.

It's a kind of colloqiualized saying that means "I'd bet strongly against it," basically.

I.E., if we get this newspaper off the floor and up to the press before deadline, I'll eat my hat.

Now I know for sure you are a journalist. Colloqiualized? What the hell does that mean?
