Important Safety Information! Please Read!!

After my disastrous attempt at vacuuming the stairs the other day, I have been very interested in black eye prevention. I googled, "black eye" and found some interesting information. First of all, when I typed in "black eye", Google, being very politically correct, said, "Do you mean "African American Eye"? I clicked on that and found out there are ways to prevent this condition. This is for real:

Black eye prevention.
* Wear the appropriate protective gear for any athletic or work-related activity. This will help protect against not only black eyes but also other serious injuries.

* Wear goggles or other eye protection when working, doing yard work, or other hobbies and sports to help prevent all types of eye injuries.
Who knew?

Normally I would think that this guy was just a dork, but now I know that he is simply preventing a potentially painful condition. Although, I didn't read anything about pulling your pants up all the way to your boobs preventing anything.



I see that this gentleman is actively preventing a black eye while enjoying some shopping at Wal-Mart.



I'm considering the helmet below because it has the added safety feature of a strobe light and horn. Now, everyone will know I'm coming and can prepare to give me a safe environment.



I also found a safety suggestion for Chat Blanc:



After shopping for hundreds of helmets, I finally ended up with this one. Thoughts??

Wearing protective eye wear in Wal Fart is no joke! Elbows, low prices and long ghetto finger nails.... that's all I'm gonna say about that.

Cameron said...

Wise decision...hydration is just as important, if not more so, than eye safety. Here's to you!!

I like the one with the protective eye shield. I can actually envision wearing that one while vacuuming my stairs.

The beer hat dude must be from Texas. But wait, we have open container laws here and I bet that counts.

I love the kitty.

Kirsten said...

@dr zibbs-Yes, it's a classic!

@gwen-You're right! That might cause many problems!

@queen size-Yes! Accidents don't take vacations, you know!

@kitty-You NEVER know what you might find there!

@cameron-Hydration is the name of the game!! You are a smart man, my friend!

@lee-I should have worn one!

@reforming-texans don't care about open container laws! :)

Those dudes might as well walk around naked, no one and nothing would come near, its called prevention of being liked.

I think the beer helmet is prevention of the harmful effects of soberness. ;-)

Vodka Mom said...

Do ya think they make a vodka helmet? Do ya??

Heinous said...

That beer helmet causes black eyes. I'm pretty sure it's been scientifically proven.

Karen said...

I'd say Le Chat Blanc is planning your long drawn-out agonizing demise for the humiliation of that helmet, not to mention the photographic evidence. That THAT is a LOL CAT in the making right there.

Heidi said...

OK, the cat takes the cake!

smithjennife said...

Krissyface said...

I'm thinking the Wal Mart guy probably doesn't wanna get killed in a stampede. Did you hear about that shit? LONG ISLAND, OF COURSE!!!

Sorry about your black eye, mama...I'd just tell everybody I backtalked my babydaddy and 'need to control my sass'.

Jenn Thorson said...

Can't you just put black makeup on the other eye and go goth for a week or two?
