another hat on top of it you should be fine

# So what if, hypothetically, my bed was a hat
covered in salt, under a ladder, but shaped like a horseshoe and smelled like a four-leaved clover?
(The Ghost of Stephen Foster, Sun 11 Jan 2004, 14:25, archived)
# is it covered in spilled salt?
and it doesn't matter if your bed is a hat as long as there's no hat on it. the smelling like a clover doesn't mean anything, but placing it under a ladder means you have angered the gods and doomed us all

# There's something about Bagpuss
which always made me cry... I think it's one of the most maudlin children's progs ever made. It emphasised the ephemeral nature of existence, stressing to 3 year olds they were going to die one day

# or
It's about capitalism: Cod-communist readings of Bagpuss abound - you know, where the mice are the oppressed workers, and Bagpuss the corrupt media, presided over by Professor Yaffle as a corrupt politician and Madeleine as a tired aristrocrat, and the toad is just, well, a singing toad
