Good GOD. If anyone can find a way to buy these steampunk goggles for my Christmas, I will take them on a date. On my jetpack, to my zeppelin-powered restaurant hovering above London. Why? Because these brass goggles have the leather bolted with tiny precision-engineered rivets to the eyeglasses (which I believe are perscription). The leather itself uses a special tanning process specifically devised for headwear, and the leaf-aperture mechanism is designed to last 500 years. I shit you not, If i owned these, I would fight crime right in the face. Provided I had my steam-powered copper face-punching gauntlets up and running.
And they would call me… Steam… Guy? I guess. Christ, I really should think these rants through. Anyone have any Percocet?*

*I have no idea what Percocet is. It sounds risque, though. Right?
