Grooch | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 08:43 am  From th Dallas News in case anyone is interested. Hats off to Colby's headgear: The Atwood Palm Leaf 04/19/2001 Our online "Colby's Corner" baited the hook last week. Now we're getting back to you with details on the sought-after hat worn by Texan Colby Donaldson on Survivor: The Australian Outback. Available at the M.L. Leddy stores in San Angelo and Fort Worth, it's an Atwood Palm Leaf model that retails for $45 and is made in Frankston, Texas. "It's a little bit uncommon. It's kind of unique," says Sammy Gene Farmer, sales manager of Leddy's San Angelo location. Mr. Farmer says that Colby, who is from nearby Christoval, "modeled some boots and other stuff" for the store last summer and is a friend of his son. Survivor's star player tinkered with the straw hat after buying it. "It's a cowboy hat that he got wet and then pulled the front and back brims down to make it look like a fishing hat," Mr. Farmer says. "That's the beauty of the Palm Leaf. You don't have to steam it." The M.L. Leddy store in San Angelo is on 2200 Beauregard St. (915-942-7655). And in Fort Worth, you can find the store at 2455 N. Main St. (817-624-3149).

Misslibra | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 06:23 pm  Well that hat he was wearing tonight was funny as heck. Everytime I looked at him with that hat on I laughed. He look so funny in it.  |
Wink | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 08:11 pm  What a bloody monstrosity that was. Guess his hearthrob days are over. |
Karuuna | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 08:15 pm  LOL, Wink - I *used* to have a hat just like that. The important phrase here is "used to." |
Wink | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 08:23 pm  Ay Karumba Karuuna!!!! Sure glad you qualified that. |
Seamonkey | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 08:54 pm  Yes!! I swear if Keith had been the one in that hat, I'd have seriously considered switching allegiance. However, I'm betting that is his sleeping hat and more toasty than the stocking type hats.. so it was smart, but.. not stylish for a Tribal Council. |
Lancecrossfire | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 09:22 pm  That hat sucked as well. Now, however we have the correct combination. someone can take a dump in Jerri's hat, and they can use Colby's hat to cover it up. Two very ugly hats!! |
Moondance | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 09:28 pm  Well according to MsBat's hat theory then Colby will be the next to go! |
Lancecrossfire | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 09:36 pm  I hope Bat was able to watch tonight. Hope you are having a good time Bat!! |
Seamonkey | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 09:39 pm  Yes.. I definitely was sending TV vibes to Bat all evening.. I can just see her husband and friends staring at her as she cried and raged!! |
Moondance | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 09:40 pm  She said she was going to get to a TV and would call me to catch up on the board stuff... I can relay messages to her |
Egbok77 | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 10:21 pm  Where's Bat? Colby's hat looks warm and I kinda like it. Elisabeth's hat is the best of all though. Anybody got details on her hat?? |
Moondance | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 10:23 pm  MsBat is New Mexico... computerless What did happen to Elisabeths headress? |
Seamonkey | Thursday, April 19, 2001 - 11:33 pm  It disappeared before the flood... or at least she stopped wearing it. |
Judy | Friday, April 20, 2001 - 04:47 am  That hat was a hoot - especially the first appearance he made in it when he came stumbling out of the tent and it was crooked! Looked like he'd been up drinking all night! I cracked up |
Wink | Friday, April 20, 2001 - 05:08 am  For any Canadians left on the board - Can anyone say "Hi, I'm Mike from Canmore". |
Willi | Friday, April 20, 2001 - 05:25 am  I didn't notice Colby wearing a hat. |
Sparky | Friday, April 20, 2001 - 07:12 am  Colby's hat made him look like one of the guards at the Wicked Witch's castle in "The Wizard of Oz". You know, the ones who chant "O-re-o." |
Silverager | Friday, April 20, 2001 - 07:52 am  Sparky - The guards chant "Oh we love the old one". Just a little Wizard of Oz trivia... |
Willi | Friday, April 20, 2001 - 09:00 am  You know you've lived in New England too long when: You no longer notice people wearing furry hats with earflaps. |
Karuuna | Friday, April 20, 2001 - 09:41 am  Willi - LOL! Colby in that hat must have just looked like home to you! Thanks for making me smile today! |
Moondance | Friday, April 20, 2001 - 04:27 pm  Hi Sparky...long time no post! Silver... cool trivia... so it does fit here... I think you know what role I think Tina has played this whole time... and we thought Jerri was bad! |
Tess | Friday, April 20, 2001 - 05:07 pm  Willi -- too funny. Colby'd fit right in here in the frozen north any winter. All he needs is a pole and a frozen lake with a hole in it and he's set. I have to say it was the ugliest of all the ugly ice fishing hats I've had the misfortune to see in my 22 years here. Not that I've ever been ice fishing myself. I'm just saying....it was bad, really, really, bad. But, what is a good ole boy from Texas doing with an ice fishing hat? |
Seamonkey | Friday, April 20, 2001 - 05:17 pm  hmm.. trying not to lose heat and freeze his ears while he sleeps? and it would also repel some of the rain? UGLY tho |
