Ahh, cool.  So does he dress up in a giant foam rubber suit made to look like a bareknuckled fist?  I can imagine him hitting all the great music industry shows like NAMM and Musikmesse dressed like that.

Sambo: "Hi!  Hey, can I play that new Brian Moore guitar?"
Brian Moore rep: "Dude, you are a giant fist.  How the hell would you play it?!?"
Sambo:  "Oh.  Yeah, well... BKP RULES!  BKP RULES! BKP RULES!"

Sambo scurries off to the next booth to preach the word of BKP.  

:)

Smell ya later,
Jeff

Hell yeah. I was the one dressed up like a giant bowling ball that was on fire,  trying to preach the gospel of the Engl Fireball.  Unfortunately, I couldn't get the the fire part to work... and the black paint I used looked purple under the flourescent lights... so everyone just thought I was a giant grape and kept yelling at me that the Fruit Of The Loom convention was next door.  *sigh*  Sometimes it just doesn't pay to preach the good word, you know?  

Later,
Jeff

Dang it!  You done figured it out already, Sambo?  An' here I thought we were bein' all clever and stealth-like.  :)

A ten-gallon hat is your stereotypical American oowboy hat.  Think "The Lone Ranger" and all that.  For a little more background:

The Stetson company and Texas Bix Bender (who wrote  Hats and the Cowboys Who Wear Them) say that "ten-gallon" refers to how much liquid (certainly not brains) such hats could carry in their crowns. This story is wrong.  John Batterson Stetson (1830-1906), who is sometimes credited with inventing the cowboy hat, was from New Jersey. 'Nuff said. You'll also find the myth that ten-gallon hat referred to the unit of capacity in  The Cowboy Encyclopedia by Dr. Richard W. Slatta. Slatta is from North Carolina. Uh huh.

So here is la pura verdad: "Ten-gallon hat" is the result of a linguistic mix-up. "Galón" is the Spanish word for "braid." Some vaqueros wore as many as ten braided hatbands on their sombreros, and those were called "ten galón hats." English speakers heard gallon. Real cowboy hats came to Texas from the Spanish via Mexico (unless you want to go all the way back to Genghis Khan and the Mongolian horsemen, who apparently wore something similar).

Hope that clears it up.  Once again, it was some dumba$$ murdering a language and coming up with the wrong meaning in their own native tongue.

So endeth todays history lesson.  :)

Regs,
Professor Jeff-Bob
