So my ankle's just about healed up and earlier today my crutches slipped and my knee went straight into the ground, of my uninjured limb. It still hertz like crazy and it's been 12 hours since. I just applied ointment and stuff, I guess I'll get it looked at when I get my ankle reassessed. Podcast in the background is Hat Chat Ep 7 itunes.apple.com A top hat, beaver hat, high hat silk hat, cylinder hat, chimney pot hat or stove pipe hat[1] (sometimes also known by the nickname "topper") is a tall, flat-crowned, broad-brimmed hat, predominantly worn from the latter part of the 18th to the middle of the 20th century. Now, it is usually worn only with morning dress or white tie, in dressage, as servants' or doormen's livery, or as a fashion statement. The top hat is sometimes associated with the upper class, becoming a target for satirists and social critics. It was particularly used as a symbol of capitalism in cartoons in socialist and communist media, long after the headgear! had been abandoned by those satirized. It was a part of the dress of Uncle Sam and used as a symbol of US monopoly power. By the end of World War I, it had become a rarity, though it continued to be worn daily for formal wear, such as in London at various positions in the Bank of England and City stockbroking, or boys at some public schools. en.wikipedia.org
