I just want to know what the Victorians were thinking when they did stuff like this. Then I remember that I almost bought a hat with an actual rat skull on it because, and I quote, “when will this not be the coolest thing ever? Also, it is my birthday.” My friend was only able to talk me out of it because the hat was too big for my head and kept falling down over my eyes.
