Now a certain blogger posted an note that seemed like a real sly attempt at misdirection where this person said that if they ever met this other person IRL (in real life) that he could keep his hat on.

Now we could speculate and ponder and wonder about this for quite some time in a most humerous fashion.

But that would be wrong.
