One of my favourite Corner Gas episodes is when Oscar finds "a perfectly good pair of pants" in the ditch. Behold our "perfectly good ditch hat". I haven't been able to let go of it quite yet. I found the perfectly good ditch hat while walking the dog that we were housesitting for in Australia. It was the day after Australia Day ... I found out that these were the terry towel hats that they put in beer cases, I guess to celebrate Australia Day (?) I found it wildly funny and therefore kept the hat after I washed it several times. Only in Australia would you get a terry towel hat in a case of beer. I assume it is to wipe up spills. Who knows.... but our perfectly good ditch hat remains and is a treasured token of our trip Down Under. (2008)

I enjoyed your "ditch hat" story, a good find, along with Oscar's pants! You likely know that a Corner Gas movie is now in the works. Oscar was my favourite character and I understand that all the main characters will be back for the movie. Keep telling those stories, Holly.

Thanks Elaine!
