I DID buy it - but now that I've bought it I have to find out if it's limpwristed or not.  Gotta feeling the price was low for a reason...

Apparently there's a big crack that runs all the way around it but there's LOTS of ductape holding it together real well.

Every silver lining has a cloud, me old pop used to say!

Sorry Bro, you should have asked before you bought that. It scares me.

Are we still talking about that helmet, or the head that's going in it?

Big, strong, rugged looking men scare a lot of people, I admit!

Charles Nelson Reilly has been looking all over for that damn thing!  He says thanks!

Is it from the 80s?

Please don't EVER tell us what your search term was when you found that pic of the "guy"!

The Equal Rights Amendment doesn't protect your right to wear a wussie helmet.  Sorry.

This reminds me, isn't it about time for the annual BAAs (Bandit Alley Awards)?  As in previous years, the gilded statue of a sheep will be replaced with a "functional" real sheep for our friends in N.Z.  Now for the 1st award of the evening:

The award for "prettiest helmet" goes to our own Captain Maple, Jim Brough.  And as Golden Right Earring plays "Gaydar Love", Jim makes his way to the stage to accept his--no, no, he's run into the arm of a chair...and he's down...now he's back up...and on his way to--oh my, that seems to be bleeding a bit...but here he is to accept his award.  Jim, any words for your fans?
