I’m not sure what it is exactly, but something about the holidays and the new year always makes me feel like an old dude.  Like, “Whoa, it’s 2011 already?  What happened to the last decade?”  Luckily, our pal Kris went treasure hunting in a dollar store and found a hat that will make anyone feel like the hippest old dude around.  In terms of all-time dollar store triumphs, it comes this close to beating last year’s amazing Black Santa blowout.

When he’s not spelunking for unbelievable dollar store discoveries, Kris also makes some pretty excellent late night Thai food at his restaurant, NIGHT + MARKET.  Check it out if you’re ever in LA!

Is this some marketing ploy to skirt around not-really selling things for a dollar? Kinda like when Kentucky Friend Chicken renamed themselves to KFC after they started serving mutant chickens. Or maybe “dollarón” is Spanish for “really large dollar”.

Boy, I really have a thing for dollar stores, don’t I?
