Hey all you hip cats and swanky Golden-Headed Lion Tamarins!
Announcing the “I’m on Lunch” Helmet from CricketCo™!

Does this happen to you?

You can’t get away for lunch. You have to eat at your desk. And you’re about to start eating that hot steaming lunch of Orange Dingo Chicken from Koala Express and *wham* your boss comes up to you and says, “Say, Clancy, remember that report that I told you was due tomorrow? I need it today. Now, in fact.” You sigh. There goes lunch. That’s another $6 dollars down the toilet, Clancy.

Or

You can’t get away from your desk. You must take lunch at your cubicle. You’re about to bite into your roast duck and bell pepper sub sandwich from London Underground Sandwiches and… *blammo* your sobbing co-worker comes up to you and wants to talk to you about his Aunt Hepsibah that just passed away. There goes lunch. When is it your time, dagburn it?

Well, we at CricketCo™ understand your pain. We’re here to help.

Announcing the “I’m on Lunch” Helmet sold exclusively by CricketCo™ in conjunction with the Lounge of Tomorrow: Adventures thru Innerswank.

The “I’m on Lunch” Helmet has been designed to guarantee your privacy at lunch. These helmets have been intricately assembled by the Sámi people of the Province of Lapland (Sámiid ruovttuguovlu). They have taken your normal every day oversized football helmet and placed a neon sign on top which spell out the words “On Lunch”. The sensor-activated air horn at the back of the helmet is sure to keep the most determined co-workers away. The face guard can be detached for easy coffee mug to mouth access.

The helmet gets rid of:

Managers
Office Managers
Supervisors
Assistant Supervisors
Executive Directors
Chief Financial Officers
Human Resources Personnel
Administrative Assistants
Interns
Your CEO’s mistress
Pesky IT vermin
And many, many others.

"I love my “I’m Out to Lunch” Helmet. I work in accounting and before I wore this helmet I just couldn't keep my co-workers away from my desk. And during lunchtime, forget it. But now, no problem. Thank you, CricketCo™!" ~ Leela "Bambi" McElwain, Administrative Assistant at Hotsie Totsie Men's Entertainment Magazine.

The CricketCo™ “I’m Out to Lunch” Helmet: Wear it and be alone.

You must spread some Mojo around before giving it to Gemini Cricket again.

At my former place of employment it was common to lunch at our desks and sneak out a little early. Then came the time clocks (yes, we were salaried and had to punch a clock). So our boss said to either not eat at your desk or put up a "Out to Lunch" sign on your cube wall. I so would have bought one of those hats.

Are there friggen' laser beams attached to the friggen' helmet?


If so, I'm interested....

My husband needs one of those. I don't think he'd be caught dead in a helmet though!
I could try one but I don't think it would stop my son from the usual lunch time interruptions. We usually eat together but he eats a lot faster than I do!

Ralphie wants one for work, too, JWB.

He liked the part where I talk about the Sámi best. (He's Finnish.)

He seems to really like the packaging.

And I enjoy Justin's. ;)

(The fact that his girlfriend comes to the stand more often than he does and tells me how obsessed he is with me really doesn't do me any good)

GC, does the helmet come in flashing neon "AVAILABLE," alternating with "DESPERATE"?

I'll take one "I'm at Lunch" Helmet and one Justin Long, please.




Actually, now that I can't access the LoT from work, I have no need to convince anyone that I'm really at Lunch while I play on the internet ... so, um, cancel the Helmet order.

Just the Justin, please. And can I get that in extra-Long??

I had a dream last night that included this helmet. It also included SM as a picture-taking peeping tom who lived next door and a husband who refused to wear clothes around the house and a church social.

The funny part was that the police showed up in "our" 'hood and started screaming over the bullhorn "Stop taking pictures with your 7 megapixal camera."

huh?
