Death's Headset.

Ok. Back from OMA. Got in the cockpit, looked at the Captain, and said, "Hey. Check this out." and pulled them out. He snatches them out of my hand, holds them close to his grinning face, and says: "No. Frickin'. Way!"
"Yes way, dude!"
"Holy crap, how did you do that!?"
So I told him. He laughed his ass off. In fact, we laughed pretty much the whole flight, about things I'm not even remotely willing to disclose on a public forum. At one point, we were both laughing so uncontrollably there was effectively no functioning flight crew for several seconds. Thank god for a quiet sector and good 'ol George (pronounced 'hor-hay' as it was born in Brazil.)

Had a little kid in on the flightdeck during boarding, letting him fiddle with the flight controls, shoot the "machine guns" (SPS test. Stick shaker and lights and so on. Big hit with the Playskool set.) and so on. I notice he's wearing a "Pirates of the Carribean" t-shirt. I say, "Hey, what do you think of my pirate heatset?? YAAARR!!" He thought very highly of it, and immediately crammed it onto his head.

One old biker dude in 2A saw it, grinned and pointed while nodding. I took this to mean "Nice." Although it could have equally meant "I'm gonna shiv you for that headset when I deplane." Either way, a compliment.

That's about it. Not as much as I had hoped. I'll post more as they come in, positive or negative. I'm waiting for someone to say something smart like "Gee, how'd you get those kind, huh?" To which I'll have to repsond with something like "You hafta earn 'em".

I'll also scan and post the written warning from the CPO, if one proves forthcoming.

Thanks for all the compliments guys!
 
Oh, and I've been getting wonderful ideas for other designs. I know someone's going to want a Galactic Empire roundel or something similar, and I've started on an ivy-entwined high-gloss jungle scene with butterflies and treefrogs and crap. Chicks'll dig it.

If anyone wants one done, lemmie know what you want and I'll come up with a design. Then I'll pull a price out of thin air ($20?) and work on it.
 
That is an awesome idea Jim. I have a logo I may want to send you to do mine up for me. Its a grenade with wings.
 
Just awesome man! Seriously!

Glad the CA liked it!


I think you've got a new supplemental income ;)
 
Sean, send me a pic of the logo! I'll work out a mock-up so you have some idea of what it will look like on your headset. If you don't like it, screw it! It'll be fun practice. If you do like it, hey! Cool! I'll earn a few cans of beer doing something I enjoy and you'll have the coolest headset on the field.

If it's the band I'm thinking of, it will be epic.

Norrington: This is without a doubt the ugliest headset I have heard of.
Jack Sparrow: But you have heard of it.

I will send you the logo tomorrow. I had it on my avitar at one time. I will have the greatest headset at the FBO and the ahole with the Texan that charges 2k to check someone out in it can eat a bag of ***** :)
 
Sweet headset. I would definitely pay somebody for that kind of service.:rawk:

Just for clarification, it is not pronounced like in the Spanish. You say it just like in English but you actually say the first "e".

"He'or-hay"? I will let my fellow x-jetters know!
"Hey dude, this is a Brazillian plane. It's 'he'or-hay', not 'hore-hay'

And if you think of something cool you'd like on your headset, lemmie know. I think this might turn into a cottage industry or some such thing.
 
Only you jim. Only you would think of that. I am diggin them though. When is the upgrade? I also heard you might be headed back to TX. Any news?

Haha. It's not pronounced with the h, but with the g like we do here. Let's just say that saying it in English is closer to the Portuguese pronunciation than saying it in Spanish.

I will. You certainly have the skills to do it well so I could see you doing it as a side-business.

Hey Jeff!!!

I start class on the 20th. Yeah, that's right: When I should be studying systems and stuff I'm spraypainting friggin skulls on my headsets. All well. We all can't be the sharpest crayolas in the Big 64 box, can we?

I am desparate to move back to TX. Grapevine looks like a winner. She just got a promotion though, and I need to get through upgrade and save money to move home so it will be several months I suppose. Man I miss DFW. I miss you guys too. This has been a fun vacation, but even my lazy ass can only stand 2 years of vacation. I wanna to go visit Luca and them as well, see how they're doing.
 
What you really need to do airbrush some dark-brown hair rolls on them. Then get one of the pretty ladies on these here forums to wear them:

Is this what you had in mind?

No, ours is more detailed. Im still looking for it. Lot of bands seem to be copying us :). We actually got a letter from Avenged Seven Fold's management to stop using the logo. Good thing we had a receipt from an old t-shirt order showing we had it far before them. It may be on my computer in my office.
