Hey everyone! Well, the other day, I got this e-mail from a nice guy named Zelkurtis (*wavewave* Hiya Zelly! o.o;) and he sent me a great explanation of why Zangulus would have the hat! I was completely impressed, and asked if I could reprint it here, giving him full credit. Well being as he is such a nice guy he replied saying I could use it, but not only that.. he gave me an excellent suggestion! What if I ran a contest for who could write the best explanation of how or why Zangulus has his hat! Isn't that a great idea?! Not only will this let us Zang-fans vent our idea and creativity, but hey.. it'll just be fun to see the results! Okay, now, since I feel it's unfair for me ALONE to decide, I want YOU, yes YOU *points out of the screen* to vote for the story you think is best! Without your votes, this can't be possible, so don't be shy! Anyway, here are the stories! "Let's just say I have hair very similar to Zangulus, dark wavy and half-way down my back. I was at the Big Cypress NYE Concert with Phish in Florida. 80,000 people in tents with only porto-potties for bathrooms. I didn't get to shower for 5 days!!! (not all Phans are smelly hippie freaks) Needless to say I had 4 real bad hair days. In the slayers world it seems that you can only bathe in major towns or if it's warm enough, bathe in a river. Zangulus wears that hat to keep him from looking like Eraser Head, or Kid from Kid 'n' Play (am I dating myself again? Dammit! or the guy in the Yahoo commercial that looks up hair loss, which if he did, would never have gotten Martina......
Or check out Zelkurtis's lengthened story version! I think Zangulus wears the hat because it goes with the Mexican rug he wears as a poncho! It's can't keep his hair back -- he's got that lock in front! SO, it must be some kind of fashion choice. Maybe he's from some tropical place, or somewhere with the same climate as SouthWest USA or Mexico...... Well, if you've
ever seen Vampire Hunter D, you'll notice that "D", the main
character, looks a LOT like zang! I believe that they are very
similar, in many ways-check out any "Vampire D" site to learn more
bout that...and, well, "D" wears a hat too. I think that Zang met "D"
by some freak coincidence, and he liked "D"'s look. "D" told him that
"wearing a hat was where it was at!"-hee-I ryhmed!-and Zang decided
to get a hat of his own. He did, and, well, he wears it to this very
day! And Lucia's lengthened version! (I'm counting it as a submission because, hey, it DOES say at least who gave him the hat..) I think Zangulus got his hat from Vrumugun for his birthday.
It was a payback gift because he got Vrummy a bad toupee for Christmas
as a joke.
Zangulus wore that crazy hat constantly, pretending he adored it, as not
to let Vrumugun have the pleasure of knowing that he didn't like it -
but then he actually did grow very attached to it.
So he keeps wearing it all the time because now he really does like the
hat!
Simple. He mugged Gandalf and stole his hat (to prove that he could, of
course) He needed it anyway to keep that gorgeous tan of his consistent. That's it! But remember, send your entries in to me and see if you could win... something! ^^; *has not decided what to give away yet, but will probably give a banner or whatnot.. ^.^;*
The first 'submission' so to speak! And what a good explanation 'tis.
....or would he?"

Heh.. this one is logical, don'tcha think?
Ah, yes, this is the short abridged (and humorous) version of Lucia's recount. For a more serious version, see belooow.

Epilogue
LoL! I really like this one, it's super-kawaii, plus it sounds like Zangulus to me!
LoL... sweet, simple and witty (if you're a Tolkein fan like me. ^^)
"Once a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away... or something... Zangulus was walking down this dusty road trying to find a bounty to collect. So, all of a sudden, this hat comes flying out of nowhere and lands in front of him. But nooo gentle, viewers, this was an EEEVIL hat!! It was the evil big rimmed huge hat of DOOM!!
Luckily, Zangulus knew this, and he took out the Demonic Howling Sword and launched an attack at the hat. It nimbly dodged the onslaught, and then proceeded to try and attack Zangulus! But our dear hero was too fast, and he slashed the hat.
This broke the evil spell the Boojie of Death had cast on the hat, and it became a normal hat. Zangulus had recently decided he either 1. needed a haircut or 2. needed a hat to give himself a new image. He decided from that point on, he would forever wear that hat!"
