Chowdahead

Stupid person. The phrase has spread westa Wihsta, but it's definitely of local origins. Casserine Toussaint reports: "It comes from back when people would make a massive bucket of chowder and lay a clean rope in it so that when they put it into the unheated back room it would freeze solid and could be hung up. They'd slide off the bucket by putting a hot towel on it and voila! Anyone wanting a bowl of chowder went in and chipped off a piece to be warmed up on the stove. After a while the frozen block of chowder took on a round shape, like a head."

Chowda-head? LLC is a small company that seeks to provide a symbol to capture the fine, old simplicity of New Englanders, equally known to be proud, wise and colorful. We think we have succeeded in our Chowda-head? caps. While chicken soup has been known to have therapeutic value for many ills, New Englanders have known for just as long that a steaming hot bowl of chowda has just as much power to warm the heart and chase off the chills. We are undeniably linked historically and traditionally to chowda.?A New England Clam Chowder, made as it should be, is a dish to preach about, to chant praises and sing hymns and burn incense before. To fight for. The Battle of Bunker Hill was fought for ? or on ? clam chowder, part of it at least, I?m sure it was. It is as American as the Stars and Stripes, as patriotic as the National Anthem. It is ?Yankee Doodle? in a kettle.?Joseph C. LincolnThe New England CHOWDA-HEAD was developed while living in Wisconsin and enduring years of frustration with the Wisconsin Cheesse Heads after Packer victories. We know that New England has an unrivaled loyalty to its traditions and sport institutions. Chowda-head? LLC believes in unifying the unwavering loyalty of New England and their sport teams. Whatever sport you are cheering for, the Chowda-head? will signify your loyaltyto New England sports and their top notch venues. Forget the Wisconsin Cheese-heads, we are the NEW ENGLAND CHOWDA-HEADS?!Our motto is "Squeeze the Cheese."All Chowda-heads? are made from a high quality polyurethane foam material. We have engineered the hats so that one size fits all. The saucer adds the function ability of a visor or hat brim. The comfort and durability of this cap are what set it apart from any other novelty cap available today.Made in America!!

I have been looking for the hat too, and someone on craigs list had one about a year ago, but wanted like $150 or more.
