I got both those words but then it didn't seem to make sense... but after a quick google I think you may be correct!

The prize - if you can really call it that - is that you get to set Monday's clue.

To add to what PeeJay says, the rule - such as they are - are here: OriginalGriff - Professional Profile[^]
Currently, we trying "themed" clues, where a whole week of solutions will be related. This week was "head gear" or "hats", and the theme grows out of the Monday clue which you get to set - so try to leave as many "broad topics" as possible or it gets really hard to set a clue on Friday!

Thank you.
So when I set Monday's, I should specify the theme? Or should it be self-evident?

You could ... but generally you don't and the next guy gets to pick what to run with.
For example, last Monday, PeeJay posted
Match official backing law cap (7)
Which was "FERRULE", a type of cap used at the end of laces and so on.
PKFox then went with
Maybe a bitter top (7)
For "BIRETTA" - "a square cap with three flat projections on top, worn by Roman Catholic clergymen" a different type of "cap", and it stayed with headgear (probably because there is only so far you can go with metal tips of laces as far as a theme goes!)
But thinking about possible themes is a good idea - if you end up with a complicated clue that means "ANTIDISESTABLISHMENTARIANISM" or "FLOCCINAUCINIHILIPILIFICATION" and we don't get it, then you are stuck with trying to theme that on Tuesday ...

That gives me an idea for a minimal CCC; how about

No idea, I'm only on beer number 6, see me after another 12 and I may find I speak Welsh.

Looks like Bart accidentally downloaded the wrong image of the president's seal and let him hold a speech in front of it.

I will not lose a word about what I think of the man or why he may or may not deserve this. Instead, I'm just going to admire the way this was delivered in way that nobody noticed anything until it was too late. This is the holy grail of practical jokes and I'm sure that Skinner went ballistic over it. I hope he will not let Bart fill that chalkboard after class too many times.

I'm very sure that he did not expect anything else. This was revenge served cold. Exactly what I would do if some allmighty boss had insulted me. And then this boss could not punish such an innocent mistake harsher without looking like the worst sort of despot.

So they say, but nobody's been named. How do we know there's any truth to this? And do we care?

Hmmm, Is this real or some photoshop malarky? I would have thought that it would be all over the news! I stand corrected BBC have confirmed!

it's real. here's the guy who made it : Fark[^]

And somebody downloaded it by accident... If it was done on purpose the person requires a Knighthood!

Well surely each president would have his own personal presidential seal. I seem to recall that Bill's featured in unzipped fly.

Not bad, but I still prefer Bert (from Sesame Street) making an appearance on Osama Bin Laden propaganda posters.

Hello, I like to write code sometimes as a hobby. I happen to work in retail, and coded an app for use at work. I have shown this app to my management, and a screenshot of the app ended up going to even higher management. If my manager was being serious, they are talking about paying me for use of my app. I live in the usa. Is there any special information on anything regarding this? I am used to just posting my stuff as open source and free. Never thought that I would ever be asked this question. Wouldn't even know what to charge or even how to charge. One-Time fee, Yearly Commercial license, per download fee, etc. Your thots?
