My Headphones are Disintegrating, or, There's Nothing I won't try to fix with Paperclips

Take a look at this:

Yep, that's right, my headphones are held together by paperclips.

You see, I've got an enormous skull. I'm a big person to begin with, but my physical cranium is just an inch or so in diameter away from looking ridiculous.

This means that I can't wear hats without looking peculiar, and if my hair sticks up it looks like I've got hydroencaphalitus or something. This also means that when I wear headphones, I have to expand them to the maximum size to accomodate my oversized melon head.

So, naturally, stressed to the limit, and not being the best quality headphones in the world, they broke. The arms that slide and set the size snapped, bits of plastic fell out, and the earpieces flopped around like a numb arm you've slept on all night and can't get moving till the blood flows again.

So instead of buying new ones, I built struts and supports out of paperclips to hold them together. It actually works shockingly well, and is even more comfortable than before. They look pretty low-rent, but that's ok, I'm just doing my part to combat consumerism. :spend:

Anyway, there's more details here, and a few other angles so you can see what a weirdo I am.
