I'll take a wig of shavings @Captain Obvious, I know you have some.

Looks like the shop floor at the end of shift at The Big Shed.

Oh you know I do. That looks like the chip pan on the lathe.

You could probably form them into a AFDM  (Aluminum Foil Deflector Mullet).

That stuff was made with lead when I was a kid. 

Well that could explain a lot.....           Haha!!

And lastly, two final thoughts on the whole matter...

1) Do not confuse wearing an AFDB on your head with wearing a colander on your head. Two completely different purposes. One holy, and one unholy (literally).

2) Neither the colander nor an AFDB will do anything to protect against covid, so GO GET YOUR VACCINE!!! 

Even if you don't think you need it for yourself, do it for all the other people you come into contact with. We're all in this together and if you don't get vaccinated, you're potentially the Petri dish for the virus to mutate. If you want to get back to normal, get your vaccine!!

Even if you don't think you need it for yourself, do it for all the other people you come into contact with. We're all in this together ...

.... and if you know anything about 5G technology, it’s a mesh network that needs lots of nodes to work effectively! So you’re doing your bit!

Jokes aside, very well said Captain!! I am all for personal choice and people deciding what is best for them, but on C19 there is simply just one choice, where to go to get your vaccine. Any choice to not do it is a purely selfish / anti-social one IMHO.

The truth is, this virus doesn’t care for your wealth, politics, race, social status or sexual preference.

Being in Financial Services, I have way too many wealthy conservative American friends who think it’s a political thing and so what if a few people die for the sake of the economy. Honestly, I am truly aghast when I see highly educated intelligent people speak in these terms.

We need to count ourselves lucky we even have the option to have a vaccine - imagine living in India where there simply aren’t enough vaccines!? Or in Iran where there are vaccines but only 1 million out of 80million have access to it.

I got my 1st Pfizer shot yesterday, the arm is a little sore today but otherwise it's all good.

I got my vaccine not only for myself but for my Z friends and everyone else I come into contact with. I want to be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

I want to visit with my Z buddies. I want to go to a Zcon and sit with a whole bunch of Jims and not take the risk of giving any of them a potentially deadly illness. And there's a way to make sure I don't. Get my vaccine.

I'm all for personal choice as long as it doesn't endanger other people. In other words, if the only person who is put at risk by your personal choice is YOU... Then go for it. But if your choice puts other people at risk that's not cool. You're removing their right to make their own choice by making it for them.

"If you're afraid of getting covid, you have a choice... You can choose to stay home."

"If you're afraid of getting vaccinated, you have a choice... You can choose to stay home."

Here's the difference:
If I don't have covid and I go out, I'm not putting anyone else at risk.
If I don't have the vaccine and I go out, I AM putting other people at risk.

I think the classic styles should be considered.

Andy thought Opie was losing his mind control.

One of my favorite episodes.

Perhaps it would be good to stay with a Japanese theme, to go with the Z-cars?

If a tin hat is good, perhaps a tin suit would be even better.  For sure, people would stay a safe six feet away at family gatherings.
