Some cowboy hats have been called "ten-gallon" hats. The term came into use about 1925.[27] There are multiple theories for how the concept arose. One theory is that the term "ten-gallon" is a corruption of the Spanish modifier tan galán, which loosely translates as "really handsome"[28] or "so fine". For example, un sombrero tan galán translates as "such a fine hat". Another theory is that the term "ten-gallon" is a corruption of the Spanish term galón, which means "galloon", a type of narrow braided trimming around the crown, possibly a style adapted by Spanish cowboys. When Texas cowboys misunderstood the word galón for "gallon", the popular, though incorrect, legend may have been born. According to Reynolds and Rand, "The term ten-gallon did not originally refer to the holding capacity of the hat, but to the width of a Mexican sombrero hatband, and is more closely related to this unit of measurement by the Spanish than to the water-holding capacity of a Stetson.”[29] Stetson hat company boasted that the tight weave of most Stetsons hats made them sufficiently waterproof to be used as a bucket. Early print advertising by Stetson showed a cowboy giving his horse a drink of water from a hat.[30] However, even the Stetson company notes that a "ten-gallon" hat holds only 3 quarts (about 3 l instead of 40 l).[29][31] Regardless, using a hat as a water container is apt to seriously damage a modern hat. On one hand, fur felt hats were designed in part so they could be used in the rain. However, wool felt hats were designed for dry climates, and most straw hats can only handle a light rain for a brief time.[32] While a very high quality felt hat made from animal fur may hold water,[29] over time, any cloth container will leak. Furthermore, modern hats may react to getting wet differently, though this depends on the quality of the materials used in construction. They are generally likely to lose shape and the felt may also soften up if they are completely drenched.[33]

I'm going to assume 'Diqnol' is that pizza guy because that's the only way some of this makes sense.

Is there a role that would make Ernie want to get lynched but not have him voting himself for some reason? If I were done I would just vote myself I think.

##Vote Ernie Academic at this point I guess since people are just literally claiming scum but more votes is more information from Atoramos' thing that some smart person can parse.
