Some time during the Christmas 2010 season, I spotted a guy at Disney’s Hollywood Studios theme park wearing a knitted Beaker hat (you know, the “meep meep!” guy from The Muppets) and I wanted one. But due to the cold weather and the sheer awesomeness of the hats, they were sold out in the park for a long time. That is, until I visited yesterday when I finally scored one. Sure, it’s hot out now, but I’m ready for the colder weather, whenever that returns!

Here Gus, the Hitchhiking Ghost, is modeling the Beaker hat for you:
