Short and dirty page scraper to tell you the different hats that are available on http://scrap.tf. Loops on a ten second delay. If this in any way causes problems for the scrap.tf guys, I'll take it down. However, it's a super useful tool for other fellow hat-hounds.

# For this to work, you need to paste your scrap.tf cookies into here. I used the following javascript bookmarklet to get the cookies:
