Beanie Caps

Beanie

A beanie or skully is a soft, close-fitting cap or hat, which is usually made of wool, synthetic material, or fleece. They are worn low on the head, covering the forehead, and can be pulled down over the ears as well. They can be worn by either sex, but are more commonly worn by men. Beanies can have a turn-up, and skullies are sometimes crocheted; otherwise, the terms are interchangeable. There are two main varieties of beanies, those that hug the top of the head, and those that leave the top couple of inches of the hat unstretched on top of the head. Beanies and skullies that are worn as fashion items are often heavily branded with the name of the designer or with other logos or slogans. These hats protect the head and ears from cold and wind chill, or are worn as a fashion item. The term ''beanie'' is used mainly in New Zealand, Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Some English-speakers, especially military, refer to beanies as watch caps. They are also called woollen or wooly hats, or bobble hats if they are topped with a pompom. Canadians often refer to them as tuques. Some varieties are known as stevedore caps; they are also referred to as ski caps or, if worn over the face, as balaclavas. ---- A beanie is also the name for a skullcap (a tight-fitting, brimless hat) worn by schoolchildren in the early to mid-20th century. The "crown" that Jughead Jones wears in Archie Comics is a form of beanie, as is a cap often worn by Spanky of ''Our Gang (The Little Rascals)''. These were also known as "whoopee caps" and "dinks." Since then, the name "beanie" has come almost exclusively to mean a child's hat that has a plastic propeller sticking out of the crown. Originally, the beanie was a blue-collar working hat, worn by laborers like welders or mechanics who needed to keep their hair back but for whom a brim would be an unnecessary obstruction.

Benny vs beanie

I remember when these were called "Benny" hats after the character who wore one all the time in the (predominantly) 1970s soap Crossroads. Is "beanie" a coruption of "benny"? Dainamo 20:41, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC) :How young did you say you were? ;-) "Beanie" has been around since at least the 1940s (which is before even my time). So it's probably more that "Benny" was a clever pun based on the character Benny wearing a beanie. Elf | Talk 21:03, 9 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Beanie Baby

A Beanie Baby is a stuffed animal filled with plastic pellets, or "beans," rather than stuffing (see PVC). A Beanie Baby is thus a form of bean bag. The original Beanie Babies were created by Ty Warner through his company Ty Inc.http://www.latimes.com/news/custom/showcase/la-fi-beanies26aug26.story. Ty claimed rightful ownership of the name and of all of the designs of their various "beanies." There have been imitations by other companies that jumped onto the idea of creating beanbag-like stuffed animals, however, including one imitator who even produced a tie-dyed bear (reminiscent of Ty's "Garcia"), as well as parodies such as the "Meanie Babies". The official Beanie Babies were mostly in the shape of animals, such as dogs, cats, pigs, hippos, and others and were all brightly colored and stylized. Each Baby came with his or her own name, a birthday date, and a simple poem describing their personality. For example, the poem of Bongo the monkey went: :''Bongo the monkey lives in a tree'' :''He's the happiest monkey you'll ever see'' :''In his spare time he plays the guitar'' :''One of these days he will be a big star!'' This information was all contained on a red, heart-shaped "book" tag usually affixed to the animal's ear. As the years went on hundreds of different Beanie Babies were created, often resorting to more obscure animals such as aardvarks or chameleons in the process. One popular "series" within the Beanie Baby menagerie was the use of teddy bear-shaped Beanies, the basic pattern of which was repeatedly re-used, but with different colors and names. The bear model was frequently used for commemorative purposes, and special bears such as a Fourth of July model and even a Diana, Princess of Wales commemorative were created. Starting in late 1996, a faddish craze of collecting Beanie Babies began. In a buying frenzy reminiscent of the Cabbage Patch Kid mania of the early 1980s, several speculators purchased these collectibles ''en masse'' in hopes

Beany And Cecil

Beany and Cecil was a cartoon that ran from 1962 to 1967. It was created by Warner Brothers cartoonist Bob Clampett based on the original puppets. It ran in prime time during the 1962 TV season, and the 78 shows were then repeated on Saturday mornings for the next five years. The cartoon featured Beany, a boy, and Cecil the Sea-Sick Sea Serpent embarking on a series of adventures, often to discover ancient civilizations and artifacts. These escapades were rife with cartoon slapstick and countless puns.

Characters

Beany, a young, cherub-faced boy with a propeller beany that allows him to fly. Beany is a good-hearted, upbeat lad, and is somewhat obnoxious at the same time. In most episodes, Beany would be kidnapped by the villain, crying "Help, Cecil! Help, help!" to which Cecil would reply "I'm comin', Beany-boy!" as he raced to the rescue. This has become something of a catchphrase.

Cecil, a large green sea serpent who is fiercely loyal to Beany but not too terribly bright. Cecil's trusting good nature invariably winds up with him being taken advantage of by the villains, and he often ends up absorbing a great amount of physical abuse (getting smashed flat, losing his head, having his skin burned off, being shattered to pieces), all within the laws of cartoon physics.

Captain Hufnpuf, also called "Uncle Captain", is Beany's kindly uncle and the Captain of the ''Leakin' Lena'', which takes the pals from one destination to the other. The Captain is always willing to instruct Beany and Cecil on their latest assignment, but refuses to put himself in any personal jeopardy, locking himself in the belowdecks for most of the episodes.

Crowy, the navigator of the Leakin' Lena. He is a crow, and unsurprisingly spends most of his time in the crow's nest. He speaks in a squawky voice and has a tendency to faint dead away whenever the ship encounters some sort of hazard.

Dishonest John, the villain of

Beanie Sigel

Beanie Sigel (born Dwight Grant) is an African-American rapper, signed to Damon Dash and Jay-Z's Roc-a-Fella Records since 1998 until 2005. He comes from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and founded the group and label State Property. Sigel's debut LP, ''The Truth'', was released February 28, 1998 on Roc-A-Fella Records. The album received a gold plaque for numerous hits like "The Truth" and "Remember The Days" featuring Eve. His second album ''The Reason'' was released in mid-2001. ''The Reason'' was a grimier album which explained his beef with Jadakiss and The Lox, and introduced the world to his own rap group State Property. Beanie Sigel helped launch the careers of fellow Philly rappers Freeway, Peedi Crakk and the Young Gunz. Sigel also was involved in directing his first movie ''State Property'', the popular direct-to-video film produced by Roc-A-Films. The State Property clothing line was also created by Sigel. In October 2004, Sigel was sentenced to a year and a day in federal prison after pleading guilty to a federal gun charge and attempted murder. After serving his sentence, he will spend two years on probation. The third album ''The B. Coming'' was released on March 28, 2005 under Dame Dash Music Group and features production from The Neptunes, Kanye West, and Bink, among others. The album was recorded in the weeks between his sentencing and imprisonment and was released after he was locked up. When the sentence ends, he will stand trial for attempted murder. His first single off of "The B. Coming," ''Feel It In The Air'' is already making a buzz and hip-hop magazines predict that his album may be credited as a masterpiece.
