"Ok, keys go in this pocket, phone goes in seperate pocket from keys and coins so the screen doesn't get scratched, keys seperate from coins so the coins are easily accessible, notes can go with coins, cards require own pocket, chewing gum too..."
Is this you? I know it's me. Now, all of your personal
mobile storage solutions can be solved with your very own Head Zeppelin!
Affixed to your head by a string on a stylish hat with chin straps, the Head Zeppelin is a helium filled balloon with several storage pouches held below. Use these pouches to store your phone, change, USB flash device, assorted LEGO bricks, sesame seeds or shruken heads!
Also available with jacket, t-shirt and goggles attachements.

Can I have my balloon in the shape of a black dog? |
|
| |
Yes. Diversity is the spice of zeppelins. |
|
| |
Does this explain why you can carry so much around with you in video games? |
|
| |
I'm a naughty kid. Head zeppelins would become my new favorite slingshot target. (mwahahaha) |
|
| |
Pericles! Nice to see you again :) |
|
| |
Thanks! I'm happy to see myself again around here too. I was missing you terribly and my brain had begun to dry out. ;) |

New breed of criminal: Zeppelin snatcher. |
|
| |
And of course they would travel by zeppelin - faster, more powerful zeppelins. |
|
| |
//my brain had begun to dry out.// I know that feeling! Let me join in the good-to-see-you-back's [P]! |
|
| |
Could we also display things on the side, like a thought bubble...? |
|
| |
What in blue blazes is a toufie? |
|
| |
I like the idea of scrolling text on the side. Maybe for the deluxe model. |
|
| |
My scientific knowledge is too minimal to know if the human refuelling system you suggest would work [boomerlash]. You have my permission to run tests. |
|
| |
I think a toufie is the same as a toughie. |
|
| |
Bun if it comes with a neckbrace... |
|
| |
A Simpsons Halloween Special (series 12?) featured both a head zepplin (albeit in a slightly different context) and shrunken heads. Inspiration? |

hello Pericles!

bye Pericles!

This would be really great until someone clipped the string with some scissors and all your stuff went floating away. (although that could be prevented by using wire cable instead of string) Also, what do you do with it when you go inside? How big would the zeppelin have to be to hold all that stuff? (a regular helium-filled balloon can't even hold a GI Joe aloft)What do you do when a stiff breeze starts blowing? I'm neutral on this one, with a croissant pending if you can answer those three questions. |
|
| |
//a regular helium-filled balloon can't even hold a GI Joe aloft// Hmm, [21quest], something tells me that you didn't arrive at that conclusion by calculation and application of Archimede's Prinicple. |
|
| |
Have you considered the weight loss aspect of this
Truly uplifting idea ? |
|
| |
You're absolutely right, absinthe. I arrived at that conculsion by tying (sp?) a GI Joe to a 12-inch diameter balloon and observing that the balloon was anchored to the floor by the GI Joe, my point being that to hold things that would normally go in one's pocket ("phone, change, USB flash device", etc.) the zeppelin would have to be either very large or obtain its lift from something more powerful than helium. |

[21 Quest] 5' dia baloon for 4 lbs lift. |
|
| |
Oh, hi everyone! Sorry, I wasn't paying attention (too busy looking out the window for passing head zeppelins to snatch. Besos! I missed you too. |
|
| |
Yes, I was thinking of it being something like a wire instead of a string but I tend to use the word string in a generic sense, which I shouldn't. How about the balloon apparatus being large enough to support a lightweight rotor blade construct which would then provide the lift required for the carried items. |
|
| |
Inspiration for the name, [Texticle], yes indeed. |
|
| |
And when you've got no more money, and your phone battery dies, and you've chewed all your gum, and crunched all your croutons, and, in short, have nothing left to carry in your zeppelin, you can suck all the helium out of it and talk funny. Inspiring! |
|
| |
//And when you've got no more money, and your phone battery dies// |
|
| |
I don't know - I tend to refrain from throwing my phone away everytime the battery dies. |
