This all really happened. On Twitter.

A Man And His Hat, A Collaborative Metafictional Event by Gaiman, Wheaton, Scalzi, Kluwe, Ellis, Burns and a Hat
September 30, 2012 By 19 Comments
I always love when my favorite famous people on Twitter all seem to know one another and enjoy an easy friendship. It’s sweet.
The Internet is truly the future of entertainment!
I just read a post by Gaiman about how he met Terry Pratchett for the first time and how he always forgot hats. He ended it with Terry finding his proper Author’s Hat and himself deciding he’s not a hat person. Is that the *real* Gaiman? (It was from 2005, I must admit)
This ALMOST makes me want to start posting on Twitter. Very funny and kudos to all!
That’s not a hat! Oh my God! That poor elephant!
And I’m amazed and impressed that Chris Kluwe participated. He’s checking Twitter and making wisecracks before the game? (Not that it hurt his performance in the least. Go Vikes!).
My favorite tweet was the one from Neil’s hat.
Neil’s Hat (@NeilHimselfsHAT) has remained active on Twitter. I liked where called out George R. R. Martin’s hat for having gone Hollywood.
I’m just glad Neil remembered his hat.
Neil Remembered His Hat is the name of my Tori Amos cover band.
It would have been better if Neil’d forgotten his hat.
So he boarded the plane with hat on (as opposed to in) hand?
hmmm.
Are you quite sure you are not a jagermonster? (from the girl genius comics…)
from the (inevitable) wiki:
“Jägers also have an unusual connection to their hats, considering them a status symbol — the one bit of Jäger wisdom revealed in the comic thus far is “Any plan where you lose your hat is a bad plan”[2]. Likewise, hats have been an object of jealousy in the Jägershots cartoons, a last gift given to a dead comrade ✣ , and even presented to ✣ suitable potential Heterodyne suitors.[3]”

I got your hat right here. I mean, no, really, I do. Right here. On my head.
I’m thankful we have the Internet so that beautiful spontaneous events like this can occur.
So if we see you at a convention or a signing with the word COMPUTER written on your hand, we’ll know this is why.
That was damned funny!
It would have been better if Neil’d forgotten his hat.
Oh sure, and you want Earth to succumb to the Titanian invasion of 2037? No, there was a very good reason why we hijacked Wheaton’s account to warn Beloved Leader Gaiman.
Chris Kluwe is the NFL’s version of Most Intersting Man in the World.
Jack – that elephant and snake certainly wouldn’t fit on my little planet.
