If you're going to quote from Ray Stevens on this subject, wouldn't you do better to quote "Eric the Awful"?

It is merely placed (hung) from the corner of Wingman's disdainfully curled lip. <br /><br />@Boris - I loved your spear. Amazing. A winged helmet, a hanging cigarette, a shining spear. A loose loincloth...<br /><br />@Sheila - odd you should quote Zechariah's dream because he goes on to talk about women in the heavens with wings.<br /><br />@A. - That's touching. Shakespeare? Pinky Lee?<br /><br />I prefer the sly eroticism of the profit Isaiah: "..they shall "mount up" as with the wings of eagles; they shall run and not be weary; walk and not faint; love until the wings of morning..."<br /><br />Or similar. Perhaps I should double-check. :)<br /><br />@Adullamite - if you own a proper winged helmet, you will have gold in your pockets.<br /><br />And rings on your fingers and bells on your toes and a bone in your nose ho ho.<br /><br />@Jeff - I will keep it up. It's hard not to with a winged helmet.<br /><br />@Soubriquet - I believe much of what you said. I remember your beach ad. :)Relax Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051381168322495999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-18158931017586611162010-09-26T10:58:01.163-06:002010-09-26T10:58:01.163-06:00Yes, unbuckling of accoutrements had to happen.......Yes, unbuckling of accoutrements had to happen....Sheila @ A Postcard a Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140046386364588303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-72011091688633468482010-09-24T17:46:45.486-06:002010-09-24T17:46:45.486-06:00I have been most amused by this discussion.

You remember me in the ads? <br />Well, I saw the ad for "Legradic Novelty Inc", I sent off my money, and less than three weeks later a parcel arrived, and in my room I unwrapped my Winged Helmet. <br />Oh my!<br />The first excursion was actually quite scary.. Girls followed me with their eyes, they fell off their bicycles, swooned into their soup.<br />The power of the helmet was too great. I had to put a paper bag over one wing in order to protect the feminine populace. Believe me, wear a winged helmet and the wenches are straight to unbuckling your accoutrements.<br />http://gritinthegears.blogspot.com/2010/09/no-caption-required.htmlsoubriquethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151288534629885195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-33729666068588110162010-09-23T14:33:18.014-06:002010-09-23T14:33:18.014-06:00Nice, you never fail to get me to laugh.

Add the news that you have money and a stampede will result! The mere fact that the police riot squad will have to rescue you is proof indeed of the drawing power of helmets and cash.<br /><br />Of course the discovery that you have one winged helmet and no real cash does lead to a reaction from said females.<br />Beating to death with used stiletto's usually!Adullamitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15537659871829290071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-56869808774938933282010-09-22T08:30:08.631-06:002010-09-22T08:30:08.631-06:00Evidence regarding the seductive power of winged h...Evidence regarding the seductive power of winged helmets:<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apemosyne" rel="nofollow">Apemosyne</a><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chione_%28daughter_of_Daedalion%29" rel="nofollow">Chione</a><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermaphroditus" rel="nofollow">Hermes' son</a>Stephanie Barrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772217449161603561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498413430541424627.post-4618300181559704242010-09-22T08:23:14.367-06:002010-09-22T08:23:14.367-06:00But, fair lady, tell me true:

Clearly, while we may not agree on socio-political issues, we are on the same wavelength where the important stuff, i.e. winged headgear, is concerned.<br /><br />Unfortunately, the car-cruising ritual you described farther down does not really exist in Europe, most probably because we don't have any cars here. I tried it with a bicycle, but this only ended in tears and recriminations, so I guess I managed to copy the gist of the afore-mentioned ritual.<br /><br />Lastly, I wanted to move that we ignore Stephanie, who is either in deep denial about winged helmets, or has been transplanted to our time from the year 3012 AD by one of my space-time warping wormholes, and was brainwashed during transit by the lizard-men of dimension Q (not X, as <a href="http://borislegradic.blogspot.com/2010/09/lab-safety.html?showComment=1285087512571#c6892547872974510951" rel="nofollow">recent research</a> has shown), who detest winged helmets and don't want us to get laid.

On purpose. So, I'll shrug and say that doesn't attract me.Stephanie Barrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772217449161603561noreply@blogger.com
