The Best Way to Get a Legendary Edition Helmet onto Your Cat
Okay, so as we all know by now, the Halo 3 Legendary Edition helmet comes with a rather small square hole that is meant to make the helmet displayable on a stand with a square peg. While this makes it convenient to display, this will make the helmet exceedingly difficult for its primary purpose, which is as a super-awesome cat torture device.
After a conversation with my favorite tool guy, WFGeppetto, we have determined the best way to get the helmet off that ridiculous display stand and onto your cat's head where it belongs.
The lining is likely to be some sort of hard plastic. At first, I suggested a power drill but Geppetto pointed out to me that this is not exactly efficient. Short of buying a $600 rotary hammer, however, you do still have options that will allow you to have the helmet onto the cat's head in a matter of minutes rather than hours. A simple chisel set plus a jigsaw should to the trick -- cut around the lining on the helmet with the jigsaw (with self-starting blade, if you have one) or even a rotozip, and then simply chisel out the rest of the plastic until you reach the depth of the original cut. Be careful! You wouldn't want to cut through to the outside of the helmet and ruin the beauty of the helmet's lines for the photographs and YouTube videos that you will eventually be taking.
It is also possible that the plastic inside the helmet is a mere lining that is glued inside the helmet and can be removed. A steam nozzle would be ideal to get it out via this method, but most of us probably don't have one. Some Goo-Gone (available at your local grocery store for a couple of bucks) plus a sharp knife should help you get that ridiculous lining out of the helmet as quickly as possible.
The only problem after that, of course, is how to get the helmet onto your cat without getting scratched to death. While Geppetto suggests a valium hidden inside a cat treat or can of tuna fish, cats are notoriously picky eaters. It may be much easier to sneak up on the cat from behind and simply slam it onto its head as quickly as possible. Be sure to have your camera ready, as the first few seconds will be the funniest!
I look forward to seeing your pictures and videos posted here on Bungie.net!

LOL It'll become an instand collectors item if you post an awesome video and put the same helmet up for sale!! but yes, less helmets means more $$$ I plan to keep mine for its intended purpose

Anyways, since the LE edition helmet will be sold out before the game even launches, and people will be modifying/destroying theirs (for everyone's enjoyment, I'm sure), just think of how much more valuable your mint-condition helmet will be when there are only 50,000 left, 10,000 left... And then 1,000...

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] lazy elite 247 Why would you modify an item that will be worth way more then it is now... So it could fit on your Cats head?[/quote] because the LE helmet may be worth a bunch of money... but seeing your cat dressed as Master Chief is priceless.... someone quote the guy who did the mastercard commercial already! [quote]halo 3 legendary edition with spartan helmet...130 dollars chisel for carving out helmet....15 dollars reaction of your cat when you put the helmet on thier head....priceless. there's somethings money can't buy. for everything else, there's master card[/quote] [Edited on 09.11.2007 8:42 AM PDT]

Putting the helmet on the cat is cool and all, but a real fan would dye their cats hair green as well to make it look more like a spartan. [Edited on 09.11.2007 8:14 AM PDT]

Just tell the cat not to stick his head in the helmet and the job is pretty much done. Cats can be contrary, its in their nature.

Bottom line: Ted. Freaking. Nugent. Has cats for pets. And to those who have challenged his manhood for this he says: " It takes a man secure in his manhood to come home with his hunting buddies and see him offering affection to a feline friend, along with alittle venison or freshly "life deprived" squirrel... but to those girls whom refer to themselves as men by soliciting that killing or harming a household pet that is perfectly capable of recieving and giving animal affection, as well as providing companionship, I can only say that you should be forced to eat dead cats until you've reasonably assumed a civilized position on the difference between the vomit you just emitted from your womanly orifice that you call a mouth, and the crying you most assuredly engage in every night because of your utter lack of anything resembling manlinesss..."

I love Cat Spartans!!

I support both sides of the cat helmet argument. I really want to see the helmet but would be really pissed off if some idiot were to injure their cat to shear neglect, so I suggest someone who will custom make one with a tinted visor and replace the black air parts with vents the same color so the cat can breath then we all can rest assure the cat is alright while observing it adapting to its new style XD

hee hee I knew this thread wouldn't die!! HAHAHAHAH INSANE LAUGHTER!!!

O...M...G...I totally suggested this to my dad about an our ago! We got two cats about a year ago, and one cat lets us put anything on it already!

CAT COMMANDO REPORTING FOR DUTY! LAWLZ! That's mean, though. You shouldn't do that to the cats. Really, do you want someone to come behind your head and just pop a helmet that probably has no visibility whatsoever and just run around blind to hurt itself? I really don't like the idea and if it makes you laugh, then humor is not in good taste for you, my friend.

rotflmao hi-larious!!! XDDDDDD
-
Funny how you were ONCE respected here Foman. Good way to get a BAN!!!!!
-
Jeez! Just cut the kittens head off and glue the helmet to the neck. Done.

This reminds me of the NEDM incident... And yes, the second you're doing that, you are going to the DEEPEST layer of Hell. XD
