Curious how this post got past moderators???

Don't be that guy.

I totally botched it. As in misspelled, remembered incorrectly and was, in fact, and unequivocally in error. It's "codpiece".

I. Was. Wrong. (See, that isn't so hard.)

Mom drove up from San Antonio to eat lunch with her favorite son, Wifeypoo and Shotsie at Alpenhaus. It's was her 81st birthday and was what she wanted to do. She pulled out a little box and it had this elk tooth pin in it. No idea where she got, but pretty sure she didn't spend a whole lot of money on it. It is some sort of Elks thing as on the back is stamped BPOE (biggest punks on earth). She did take it to a jeweler to put a pin on the back so Hudbone could wear it on his German hat at the Ten Day Salute to Sausage known as Wurstfest.

It's going to go on this hat. If anyone ever attends Wurstfest, they can now identify the Hudbone and either greet him or stay away from him. It matters not which.

That hat looks like something a volksmarcher would wear.

Love the hat, and the pin. Shame about Wurstfest this year. I always enjoy it.

Trooper hudbone does not sound fitting.

My older Bavarian hat is worn when hunting in cooler and cold temperatures. Very practical.

No, but leather wearing, ball gag using bear hudbone kind of does....

You wish.

Yeah, will be the first year I've missed in 40 years. Heck met Wifie #2 there 22 years ago. Lord loves a beer drinking Lady.

Is that one of the famous “3 cornered hats”?

I thought a square head would have 4 corners?

The hats are specifically designed to hide the corners.

Am I the only one who has no clue what that is?

Nope

Do you not know what a hat is or an elk's ivory (tusk)?

REAL IVORY
Both bulls and cows possess ivories. Calves are born with just the tips exposed. The spindly little baby tooth ivories fully emerge during the first winter and then fall out a few months later. The following summer, permanent canines begin to emerge in the top of the elk’s mouth. At first the new ivories are hollow and only one-quarter to one-half exposed. It takes several years for them to fully emerge and for the pulp cavity to acquire the dentine that transforms them into solid, rounded tusks. The eyetooth of a large bull, including its thin, flat root, measures about 1¼ inches long by ¾ inch wide.Less than half the total length is exposed tooth. The canines do not touch any other teeth, but they wear down with a lifetime’s worth of vegetation swiping across their surface.

In a landmark study of elk teeth in the 1960s, Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks biologist Kenneth Greer found a way to identify the sex and age-class of elk by their canine teeth. He determined that, while ivories look identical in male and female calves, tusks from the two sexes of adult elk differ in shape. Cow ivories appear angular, with tapered roots. Bull ivories are generally rounder and larger than those of cows and have blocky, nearly square roots.

Tusks range in color from bone white to chocolate brown. Dark stains forming concentric patterns along the tops of crowns accentuate some teeth. The coloration results from a combination of tannins in vegetation, salivary juices, and rumination acids.

Also am I the only one who does not care?

Take a deep breath.

Nope. Click bait. He could have said what it was in his first post. Desperate cry for attention. Not surprised he wears leather and celebrates wieners.

The kids in Kinder Corp sang a song “Mein Hoot has 3 corners”. If I’m remembering correctly.

Blasphemy, talking smack about the Sausage Celebration.

Oh great Slayer and SD hang in there. It'll be okay.
