Lord Dark Helmet

One of my favorite movies is Spaceballs. Rick Moranis, was so funny as Lord Dark Helmet. For those who have never seen Spaceballs, I encourage you to watch it. It is a parody of several movies about space, with Star Wars being the main. If slapstick humor is not your thing, you won’t get it.

The below photo is reportedly the inside of a Ukrainian military-issue ballistic helmet. I have had some pretty shitty gear issued to me during my time in the Corps, but never something marked as a toy. This is a whole new level of sadness.

Welcome to the Average Joe Weekly blog. This is basically my place on the web where I can help spread some of the knowledge that I have accumulated over the years. I served 10+ years in the Marine Corps on Active Duty, but that was some 25 years ago.
