The Irresponsible Hat
zer0 isosolies/BuzzMcoy:
the untiletled song is irresponsible hat anthem
Mr. Horrible:
This is of course the prequel to "Dope Hat", in which "the hat is
wearing me (him)". It's about this magical relic of a hat that just
won't do anything right. It borrows his car and crashes it, lets his pet
bat (yes, Oliver has a pet bat) fly away "on accident", shorts out over
half the band's amps while "writing a song", leaves the toilet seat up,
doesn't give *ANYONE* their phone messages, etc, etc. Finally, at the
end of the song, Mr. Manson takes a self-sacrificing Christlike role and
brings the spirit of the hat into his brain through a "putting the hat
on" ritual. The hat's spirit permanently warps him, but his Satanic
instruction causes him to override most of the irresponsible tendencies
of the hat. Then again, he's not 100% over it yet. Why do you think he
"accidentally" pegged Pogo w/ the micstand?
The Irresponsible Hat is also alluded to (rather mildly, though)
in "Organ Grinder" w/ the line "I hate what I have become (the hat-man)
to escape what I hated being (tormented by the hat)"
...............ahhhhhhh, one of *THOSE* days...............

Another of those "laughed myself right off the chair" posts.
A big sticky lollipop to Mr. Horrible.
I suppose the process started way before, when little Brian Warner
went to the amusement park, saw the Great Hoodoo's performance,
and snuck backstage only to fall into his magic(k)al hat? But
instead of being trapped in Lidsville, he was allowed to leave
*IF* he would take the Irresponsible Hat along, since it was causing
so much trouble that Hat Village couldn't keep it under control,
and besides they suspected it of being Hoodoo's spy. Well, they
were right. From then on Brian's innocent childhood identity was in
grave peril...he developed an unhealthy fixation...chaotic characters
in tall hats, like the Cat in the Hat, Willy Wonka, the Child-Snatcher,
and Isambard Kingdom Brunel [well, maybe not him], assumed new and
sinister significance. He considered assuming the name "Marilyn
Hoodoo" but was convinced by friends that he should choose something
with somewhat more specific connotations. (One of these friends, of
course, was Scott/Daisy, upon whom the hat had its revenge.)
Zippo: Didn't factor the hat into my earlier message on Daisy's quitting.
Hadn't thought about it. What happens if a space chicken gets hold of the
hat? What if one wears it? Do they become the uber-chickens?
angelynx:
But Hoodoo's scheme wasn't completely fulfilled until, as you say,
Brian/Marilyn could be induced to actually put on the Irresponsible Hat.
The rest is history (hatstory?)...
(The Irresponsible Hat has also insisted upon being taken on tour
with the band, you'll notice, which may have something to do with
these odd escapades of cat-litter boxes and the smoking of human
bones.)
Now all we have to do is factor in the Cornnuts and Space Chickens
(and time travel and OOBEs),and we'll have the Unified Field Theory
of Marilyn Manson at last! =)
Zippo:
Ahhhh. But you see, since the Hat turned Brian Warner in Marilyn
Manson..... It probably gave him the nose job too..... I can just see it now,
the hat got him drunk, gave him anaesthetic and Brian woke up with a new
nose, and became Marilyn.
Hmmm. Chances are that the hat (to be safely contained) has to be
sealed in a vat of Mansons hallucinogenic saliva, otherwise it would escape
and destroy the earth. We're lucky that Gwar doesn't have the hat.

Twiggy would definitely be the wild card in the Irresponsible
Hat plotline. As everyone has noted, Daisy is a man of old-
fashioned, level-headed common sense; not a guy who'd start
operating on Random Access Memory at the behest of a mere hat.
And as Mr. Horrible reminded us, Mr. Manson is a Priest of the
CoS; his Satanic discipline would give him the backbone to resist
the worst of the Hat's chaotic mojo. But li'l Twig? Satanic
discipline? Not only not clergy but not even a rank-&-file believer,
as far as we know. And common sense? Brothers and sisters, do I
hear any one of you assert that baby Twig has manifested common
sense? ....Thought not. Nope. The Irresponsible Hat would gobble
his willpower down like candyfloss. Total mindless slave.
I wonder if anyone can spy on 'em and see whether he occasionally
puts on the Hat when no one's around....
Mr. Horrible:
Aha! I get it! Twiggy is a ventriloquist! That's why he always
sits there and "acts retarded". He's not pretending to drool, he's
keeping his mouth partially open to do ventriloquism. He must also be an
expert hypnotist, putting radio announcers under his spell so he can talk
for himself for long periods of time. And *ANYONE* who's studied
ventriloquism knows masturbating in a fruit basket is one of the
foundation exercises for good ventriloquism skills. Kennedy must be in
on the plot, since he wanked his winkie in front of her. Come to think
of it, she does kind of look like a cornut...
zer0 Isosolies :
no you got it all wrong. you see twiggy is the evil puppet master pulling
everyones strings. he isnt as stupid as he seems. its a diversion. he sold
gidget herion to get him addicted and make the rev kick him out thus letting
him into the band (not amboogalard was tied into this somehow....) so then
twiggy started minipulating the reverand (notice how they are always
together. he is under control) the hat is twiggy's way of controling the
reverand. so then daisy notices how importent the hat is to the reverand and
puts it on. twiggy see's this and makes the hat suck off daisys hair (notice
that shaved circle. you dont think he did that on purpose do you?) daisy is
to scared to say anything but twiggy know daisy knows the truth so he keeps
getting meaner and meaner to him. he has assatination attempts on him
(making the rev push dais off that hig stage remember?) and verbally abuses
him ('he's ugly') and then elimanates daisys influence in the band till he
finnally removes him from the picture all together (daisy shaves off all his
hair to clean himself of the cabbage color) daisy is forming a new band to
try to fight the cabbage. antichrist superstar is going to be the end of
marilyn manson beacause daisy's new band and marilyn manson are gonna have a
fight to the death....
(someone should compile a FAQ on the marilyn manson conspiracy to catch up
those who are lost (i still kinda am on some parts))
