...It *was* empty, right? Was Mr. E.C. expecting Hanners to date Winslow?

I'm pretty certain that the Robot Boyfriend would have used a simpler, non-sapient operating system with the option of installing an AI, should the need be felt.
Even assuming my own personal theory on the origin of the AIs isn't true, I'm pretty sure Hannerdad saw this sort of thing coming. :-D

I'll buy that. I was thinking a bowler if it was on an English banker or butler and a derby if it was on a working class noggin.

--- Quote from: SeaWoodStage on 21 May 2018, 15:15 ---I just googled 'Homburg' and you are exactly right! The hat I thought of as a Derby is actually a Homburg. The most informative article I came across (in my very brief googling) also showed men sitting side by side, wearing basically identical hats. (Without 'dents'). It was the hat I've always thought of as a bowler, but the same hat was described as a Derby in America. Who would've thought hats could be so fascinating ('scuse the pun). I'm not being sarcastic there by the way. It's genuinely interesting stuff. And I learned something today.

I myself wear a Porkpie most of the time and a Trilby occasionally though having wide shoulders I should wear a wider brim hat such as a Fedora but I can't get one locally that I like.

Pintsize claims it’s decorum, but self preservation is most likely. Faye and Bubbles to be certain, but if Spookybot is playing Cupid you definitely want to avoid screwing with them.
SeaWoodStage:
No butler would wear a hat, unless required by the protocol of a specific occasion.
As for a porkpie, I suppose that's one more hat type that I need to educate myself on. I think of a porkpie as a bowler/derby that's been stamped on by someone with an appreciation for symmetry?
(ETA: spelling)
