The red hat warriors!

Fox 61 ran a piece the other night about a local Connecticut chapter of the Red Hat Society learning what is called Cane-Fu (think "beating someone with a cane"). I think such self-defense training is great, especially for those getting on in years that often feel defenseless. But, seeing these ladies in their red hats makes me wonder, will we, before long, have an elderly Warriors on our hands? When you think about it, their outfits lend themselves to many of the gangs seen in the 1979 classic. 

Here's the news story and a few stills from the movie for comparison:





Before long, they'll own the streets (until they go to bed at 9 p.m.)! No buffet is safe! No bingo tournament will avoid their influence! And, don't even think about seeing an early show at the movies!

CAN . . . YOU . . . DIG IT?!?!?!?

A link to the original piece at Fox 61 can be found here. The movie stills were taken from a UK Warriors site over here.

I can't think of what that last gang was called but I'm sure you notice they're wearing purple vests and RED HATS. I don't think that's a coincidence so much as an omen.

Come out to plaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
