One thing would be making a form of my head for the helmet, unless I wanted to do the cheesy thing and go helmet-less. then again, when there isn't grimdark in 40K, there's cheese.
Helmets are indeed quite annoying. However I've found the easiest thing to do is to find a cheap existing helmet, say a Walmart bicycle helmet or a party city costume helmet atrocity, and cover it with your material of choice. (Or cut it up, paint it, whatever)

Also if you are making your own or buying one, especially if its metal. Get a rugby scrum cap your brain case will thank you later.

Hell, even when it's grimdark, It's grimdark to the point of cheese, nowdays.
What are some good brands of casual boots? I have had my current pair for a while and it seems they will not hold together any longer.
I like my Merrells.
I also have Merrels, but they are not casual. They are monsters for when there is much snow and wetness. They do make many styles, and I would bet they are great.

You and I have different definitions of "casual," I suppose. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Personally, I wear my Merrells pretty much for the entire winter as they're comfy, warm (so they're good even when there is no snow), and waterproof. I switch back to sneakers once things start warming up a bit in the spring.
For me, any shoe/boot/etc. that I wouldn't wear with a suit or dress pants is "casual." Merrells count, but I can also understand someone considering a heavy duty boot like Merrells as not being "casual." It's sort of the same situation where I can see someone not considering a steel-toed boot as worn by construction workers and the like who need that toe protection as not being "casual."
Ah, mine are similar to yours. As far as their casual line, yeah, they are distinctly different stylistically. I guess they also define "casual" as "non-heavy duty." The Shiraz one though may be interesting as it's waterproof, however.
Thanks, I think I may go with some boots from there, although not from their casual category. I may have also found some new running shoes as well in their Barefoot Run Trail Glove.

I never tried their running shoes, but my wife has. They don't seem to be anywhere near as durable as their boots based on her experience.
Do the majority of people machine wash their business casual shirts or take them to the cleaners? All this time I thought I thought taking shirts to the cleaners was extravagant, and now I learn that most people I know pay to have that stuff done.

I wash my shirts myself, but it's not bad to take them in. If you take them to the cleaners, they also machine wash them unless they are dry clean only silk shirts. The difference at the dry cleaner is that they optionally hang/box, starch, and press them. It's also relatively cheap to bring shirts in for laundry. It will usually be a dollar or two per shirt at most.
Yep, Scott's right on this one. The big advantage of taking them to the cleaners - unless you've got the fancy dry clean only shirts - is that they'll do all the starching, pressing, etc, etc. If you're good with an iron, or you have a press, you can do it yourself pretty easy.
I don't bother taking mine to the cleaners, either - I just machine wash, and press them myself. Pretty much the only thing I take to the cleaners are stuff I can't wash in the washing machine without ruining it, and my suit jackets/vests, which are pretty much all dry clean only.
For some reason, I am feeling an insane amount of wanderlust and I want to travel the world in a big, bad way. When I say that, I mean places on other continents.
In particular, I want to go to Europe (I've already been to the UK). I want to make plans so I can do this in the future. Could some of you guys give me some pointers as to where you think I should go?
Poland is ment to be pretty good. My uncle and his wife have family over there and seem to love it. It covers a lot of the usual stuff and is killer for hiking and stuff like that.

The Azores are a very pretty, semi-tropical location that hasn't been overrun by tourists yet.
Poland is super cheap. Azores have fun home-made bull fighting festivals which result in hilarious movies.
FYI, those bull fighting festivals only take place on the island of Terceira. None of the other islands do bull fighting in any form. As a tourist, your best bet would be to visit any or all of the "major" islands of Sao Miguel (in the eastern, or "oriental" group), Terceira (in the central group), and Faial (in the western, or "occidental" group). You can also get direct flights from the US to either Terceira or Sao Miguel (depending on the departure city in the US), unlike the other islands, although there are connecting flights to the other islands.

Merrel categorizes them as "cold weather."
This is their casual category of boots. Their language, not mine.
