Hahahaha that's awesome!
" That helmet is the best custom piece on this page. Friggin hilarious."
So true on so many levels
"No other country has a helmet that represents them so well."
Just a reminder, not all of us are warmongering imperialist slaves to the military/industrial complex. I am sorry this is our image in the world... humorously intended in a piece of art or no.
p.s. neg prop away.

If you didnt have a wife and kids and were female or if i didnt have a wife and kid and was female, then we could get married.
Which state allows gay marrige im on my way.
"Okay, Okay you can have George Washington, yes. And he can be riding an Eagle, yes. And holding a rocket launcher, yes. But you absolutely cannot have him motor-boating the Queen, NO!"

"Do you want to know why the world is so great?... Because: This is England.
I hear a gang fire on a human factory farm
Are they howling out or doing somebody harm
On a catwalk jungle somebody grabbed my arm
A voice spoke so cold it matched the weapon in her palm
This is England
This knife of Sheffield steel
This is England
This is how we feel
Time on his hands freezing in those clothes
He won't go for the carrot
They beat him by the pole
Some sunny day confronted by his soul
He's out at sea, too far off, he can't go home
This is England
What we're supposed to die for
This is England
And we're never gonna cry no more
Black shadow of the Vincent
Falls on a Triumph line
I got my motorcycle jacket
But I'm walking all the time
South Atlantic wind blows
Ice from a dying creed
I see no glory
When will we be free
This is England
We can chain you to the rail
This is England
We can kill you in a jail
Those British boots go kick Bengali in the head
Police sit watchin'
The newspapers been read
Who cares to protest
After the air attack by flare
Out came the batons and
The British warned themselves
This is England
The land of illegal dances
This is England
Land of a thousand stances
This is England
This knife of Sheffield steel
This is England
This is how we feel
This is England
This is England"
Be sick just his entire run that cranked so the entire pits can hear it.
