This was a 1960's style hat consisting of a beanie-style cap with small brim in front and often with school initials or logo, once optimistically 'required' of freshman males at certain universities. To be seen in one permanently labeled one as a dork.
Rat caps seem to be making a comeback, as ironic retro wear.

Freshmen were supposed to wear rat caps while on campus at Georgia Tech. You risked the penalty of having your scalp shaved if you didn't.

An ironic expression used by Southern males to express disbelief in or mild condemnation of some else's attitudes or behavior, supposedly drawing on some stereotypes of Southerners. (This expression possibly originated with Lewis Grizzard, a most excellent American humorist and commentator.)

The Daughtery Principle, named after American football coach Duffy Daughtery (1915-1987) of Michigan State University, states that: “A tie is like kissing your sister.” While both evolutionary psychology theory and sociological theory would predict that this familial phenomenon would lead to osculatory outcome dissatisfaction, it has not been systematically tested except possibly in West Virginia and Vermont.
Football, basketball. and basketball have such a horror of the Daughtery Principle being enacted that play continues through overtime or extra innings until the tie is broken.

The traditional Mardi Gras circular cake: festively iced with purple, gold, and green frosting. A small bean or plastic doll baby is inserted somewhere in each one. The one who gets this has to provide the king cake next year.
We had the traditional New Orleans king cake. As, as is tradition, it was not very good this year, either. Still, it's a reminder of New Orleans: the best damned city in the country. Even though it's down now, it will come back, so hang loose and let the good times roll.

The mythical hairy man-beast allegedly living in the Honey Island Swamp in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana.
Ever since Katrina, no one's seen the Wookie any more; chances are that he shaved and moved to Dallas and will start for the Cowboys.
