Whatzit?

Here's whom I had in mind...

What's the point?

The point is, "He fooled us!"
Nobody guessed the Whatzit was an Orthodox Jewish Head Covering called a shtreimel….

Thank you, Wayne.

What's the difference between the shtreimel, and what Papa John Phillips is wearing?

The one on Papa John Phillips' head was actually a mind sucking alien that lived off his thoughts.......

You're saying the shtreimels aren't?

I can neither confirm nor deny that - no data is available to me on that possibility.

I hesitate to post yet another Whatzit? for reasons obvious to most of you, but here goes...…..

Intriguing. But no.

What's left of your Mercedes star after you ran into the back of the garage?

Unique. But no cigar.

Here's a further hint: The overall object has no metal parts.

P.S. Witnessing how various minds on this forum deduce, using personal experiences and educations, to identify larger objects from edited/cropped views of portions of them, is "the point," here, on this thread, with our little Whatzit? exercises, isn't it. A bit of social playfulness. And a privilege , if you ask me.

Well, it's not obvious to me. Why are you hesitant to post another whatzit?

I hadn't expected it to be, given your posting, "What's the point," a short while ago, on this thread. How could you not know what the point was in our little exercises? That's why I thanked Wayne for addressing you on the point. And that's why I included my little P.S. in my posting, just above.

Murph, what threw me off was this post, which suggested your whatzit was the pictured person:

Here's whom I had in mind...

I don't know who this ugly schlub is, and I was temporarily overwhelmed by disgust and indifference - hence, my question about the point of this. I didn't realize the point was ridiculously ugly hats. Now, I'm clear on the point, and resentful that I wasted so much of my life on people possessed of really bad taste, wearing hideously ugly headgear.

All right then, is it the hour hand of your $0.99 Chinese all plastic copy of a men's Movado watch?

.... I didn't realize the point was ridiculously ugly hats. Now, I'm clear on the point, ...

The Whatzit? was the fur hat. It wasn't a "Whoozawhatzit" . I should have stated, "This is what I had in mind," not "Whom." My error was word choice, but I had wanted to explain the context of the fur and its hat.

We always show the larger context of the cropped view, as a way of being fair in response to all who have chosen to play the game on each particular occasion, like Chuck showing us the entire red bridge for his partial Whatzit? image..

Additionally, for further clarification, I wasn't making or implying any "ridiculousness" about the man's hat. That was your interpretation, which of course is anybody's liberty when seeing something which is, perhaps, not particularly familiar to them.

If you look at Wayne's avatar picture, and mine ( ), and if you recall my posting the Whatzit? of a papal crown, we know that there are folks who take their hats and headgear very seriously. The gentleman wearing the fur hat, it seemed to me, takes his hat very seriously, as a part of his (religious?) identity.

And all of that, Whatzit? fans, is a further hint about my latest Whatzit?
