Loud Cans

Yesterday evening while I was out I came across a rival for Blue Thunder
there.

A little sort of burgundy blob of a cage with blacked out windows and
the sweetest loudest set of cans man has ever heard. Cruising next to
him up Victoria Avenue in a nice low gear and getting the attention of
an admiring public I was simply unable to hear what Blue Thunder had to
say.

Good it was.

 

^^^^^^^^

Are you sure that's the correct adjective?

Kin positive. Peds were giving the geezer a well deserved thumbs up for
sheer fucking bottle, not to mention the advertising it must have been
for his dentist.

 

Blue fucking Thunder? You sad old ****.

The first thing you need is the missing six hundred cubes, old man -
then you might think about making the air shiver a bit.

 

I have something, Guzzi related, that makes the air break down and cry.

I'm not sure if it's me....

Good innit. I just can't resist.

Nah, I would be dead within a week on a B12 and, more seriously, lose me
license the week after.

Pipes, pipes is what you need. Like we used to do in the ghood old days
on our scoots and stick a bit if polished copper gas pipe when the can
used to be.

 

But but but..... Wasn't Blue Thunder that 80s helicopter thingy off film
and TV that had a really quiet stealth mode? So what you're actually saying
is the bandit is about as loud as a gnat's fart...?

I was rather hoping that nobody would be so sad as to admit to knowing
about that but there is always one.

 

'Airwolf'.

 

Which was a rip-off of....? Two guesses. Give you a clue - it ripped off a
film that starred Roy Scheider of 'Jaws' fame and became a short lived TV
series...

I have an uncanny knack for remembering useless, shite trivia.
Unfortunately that's all I can remember accurately - anything of importance
just drifts across my mind and exits through the nearest available
orifice....

And anyway, that film rocked (well it did when I was 13....)

I could cheat and google, but .. no, I shan't.

'give up.

 

Budgie The Helicopter?

 

Well it wasn't 'Brown Rain' or 'Yellow Snow' but it was another similar
combination of a colour and a type of weather......

 

Blue clouds ?
Pink fog ?
Indigo Hailstones ?
Purple Precipitation ?
Red Slush ?

 

Why didn't I think of golden rain ? Was it because SO called me a perv
when I asked her for 'la pluie d'or' ..?

'Les Français adorent la pluie d'or ...'

 

Golden Showers (1919)

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

Brown Wind?
