Hat Line lie.

[Patrick Kelly]

Nay.
I disagree. You are more likely to add $ to your hat by adding a line that appeals to 30 or 40 than you are by adding a line that appeals to 3 or 4.

Ah on the hat line I find myself as a performer get better tips using "Karma you give good you get good in return"
But then I'm sometimes thought of as a tree hugging hippy. It really appplies to most religious peoples and also the the artistie types. because it is like the line from the bible "yah reap what yah sow"
Anyway that my pins worth

"God bless you" sounds like you're reacting just after somebody has sneezed...I don't think it belongs in ANY act or series of hat lines...because it's too bland.

I believe in God, as I understand Him/Her and I include a God statement at the end of my show: "Go with God and enjoy our day, this present".

It's not a hat line, nor is it an attempt to preach...just a saying I like, and one that has special meaning for me. It may increase my hats, but I doubt it...more likely it pisses of the non-spiritually minded, which is more than likely making up the majority of my crowd.

To be honest I'd drop it in a heart-beat if I thought it lessened my hats...I'm not out there to preach the good word of the Lawd, I'm out there to make money and enjoy my art.

I keep in it because I have a group's attention for a brief moment and I want to share a moment of peace before we all go our separate ways. Dunno if brining up God is a way to inspire peace...chew on that and break out into discussion groups now if you like

...but my line is a shy bit smaller than tossin' out the Loving Kindness Meditation...and doesn't reek of incense and shrooms (not that I'm against incense and shrooms )

How to turn infallibility into income

We should ask the Pope ... after all, he has some amazing hat lines.

[CutThroat]

I absolutely DESPISE getting religious bullshit in my hat.

It's insulting, and rude.



If it came with a dollar or two inside, I wouldn't mind, but it NEVER does. Ever.


Way to make me give a fuck about your religion. Ass holes. Stingy, entertainment sponging, unapreciative, selfish, ass holes.

They know damn well that that is where money goes, and they choose to fill my hat with insulting drivel.

/rant.

[Stephon]

How about, "Go with God but leave your money with me"?

[CutThroat]

How about, "Go with God but leave your money with me"?

Beautiful.

"They say that Jesus died for your sins. I'm just doing it for your entertainment dollar".

I really wish I'd thought of that first.

Before you go you must ask yourseives...

What would Jesus give?

[elbonko]

wwjg

probably some crap like "everlasting life."

well, i'll take a fiver, thank you very much.

[Stephon]

What would Jesus give?

Small change; he holds out a fist full of coins and anything smaller than a quarter just falls thru the hole.

[jared]

I wouldn't do it for a general crowd, but I agree with just saying what they want to hear. I think if you see a religious tourist group with WWJD shirts and crosses, then saying a little line about jesus here and there might help you. Last weekend was pride week here in nyc, so I spent a little time here and there to badmouth the other guy in the park that was waving a bible and trying to save their souls, they loved me, he left, and my hat had twice as much as usual.
