Ok, I’ll tell you. Then ASK you something. I got a new bike. Old, actually, with one speed and a big old comfortable seat and actual chrome fenders to keep the mud off my back. The only new thing is the helmet. (They say you shouldn’t use an old one, because of stress cracks, widened by “plastic shrinkage”, that make it worthless.) The stupid helmet is just plain white however. It seemed like a good idea because it was cheaper, and the other designs were tired-looking. SO WHAT SHOULD I DECORATE MY HELMET WITH? (excuse the shouting, I’m going down hill and have wind whistle in my ears!) ---

I say you should glue some hair on it and pretend it’s really big ugly wig, and don’t bother to remove it if you are going to the store, just wear it inside and get all the other customers confused. It’s great for a laugh, and it’s fun to decorate. Also, you could just paint it red and call it Fred. ---

Bug eyes, antennae, and wings. Maybe even paint it green.
