June 26, 2007: Corn field motoring
 

http://cellar.org/2007/fieldmotoring.jpg

Reddit points to this item from the Netherlands, where apparently a police chopper captured this great shot.
Which is scaled down a little from the original even more massive shot...

It turns out this is the result if an extremely confused and coked-up guy drives into a cornfield. Picture it:
one moment the guy is looking at road, the next moment he's looking at... something! he can't figure out!
Even if he drives around in circles! it's still! all! around! The only way to defeat it is to mush it all down!
That's right, can't take any chances! Mush it all down! All down!

Anyway, I particularly like the Dutch-to-English translation of a news article that someone posted.
Somehow these translations almost speak in the accent of the language barrier they are trying to cross.
I mean, when I read the following, I read it with a Dutch accent, and it fits *perfectly*.

Just, wow!

Shouldn't this be in Fargon's fart thread?

Cornfield art
 

I think I see a miraculous image of Elvis in that cornfield. At least now we know where crop circles come from.:p

Maybe he saw children in the cornfield???

He was cornfused.

We call it "maize."

Looks like he took a couple of turns through the adjoining dark and light green patches, also.

The giving of gas is a noble thing, give that man a Del Taco macho combo burrito, and send him home.

but only if it's Helium, Argon, Neon, Krypton or Xenon... fargon???

I'm in awe of everyone's comments and have nothing even remotely as clever to add.

its a maize maze!!
although corn and maize are two different things, closely related though.

also, almost all crop circles are done in wheat fields, not corn fields.

Well, just wait until the County Cornmissioner gets there! That guy must have been stalk-raving mad. :o

There's a kernel of truth in what you say, Shawnee.

All your cornfields are belong to us

I was picturing the guy driving around the field yelling that, when it occurred to me:
...this is what Christopher Walken did, somewhere near the end of At Close Range.

I am in ur fields

killing ur corns.

drivin on ur ears

Now I'm imagining this guy as Ronnie Dobbs.

"YOU'RE under arrest" ... "Y'all are brutalizin' me!" ... "I didn't even get my suck-off!"

That was a laugh out louder!

not to put a damper on all the corny puns but I think
graangebied is more correctly translated as simply: grain field.

And that does look more like wheat than corn, anyway... I've seen a bit here in Kansas. And, I'm guessing that in the next field is hops. The beer drinkers would have his guts-for-garters if he had mowed that down!

But, but...
:p

there only looks to be one entrance point. Did one car do all that?

Edit: okay, looking closely I can see another possible entrypoint on the far right. I was wondering why he went around in circles so much if they weren't chasing him.

didn't consider that maybe the chasing car followed him in...using the same path?

im in ur grainfield eatin yours hops

Well, at first he had a simple job to do. When the coppers showed, things got messy.

I thought that in Europe all field grains are considered corn.

Our corn is specified as Indian Corn.

That does look a lot more like a wheat field to my eyes.

I believe that the soil and weather requirements for corn are sufficiently restrictive that you can't actually grow it well anywhere but in the United States.

How did he end up crashed in the hedge at the bottom of the field to the left of the cornfield? There aren't even any tracks leading there.

I understood that, in Olde English, corn is commonly used to denote the most prevalent grain crop of the region. "Indian" corn is sweetcorn to Brits. (We generally only get the yellow variety). Cornfields (with or without crop circles) in the UK are usually wheat.

and yes, that's amazing.

Can't find any pics of the maze we went to last year, but it wasn't dissimilar to that mess. Here's a video of the local news item about it with a brief aerial shot of the whole thing...

When asked for a comment by the local newspaper, the driver was heard to say "shucks".

Slipped out the cornhole?

Bingo! . . . Somebody had to say it...

Me neither, too.

One of our local dairies (yes, the one that bought that little girl a new kidney) dedicates one of their feedcorn fields to a Maize-maze every year. Last time I went there was a great innovation ... night access. You had to go through the maze with flashlights. Much spookier, but about the same level of challenge doing it in daylight gives. One thing that makes you head through the whole maze is a contest element. They have stations throughout the maze where you have to answer some corn-related trivia questions.

Once the season's over, they harvest the field and feed it to the moo-moos.

The guy was confused??? Hell yes! He was dizzy as hell!!

Which car is the cornmobile?? The blue one or the one on its side?

ouch

it was this guy
 

.

After the mess was cleaned up, they discovered a method to his madness.

- in a husky voice.

lol!

homina homina hominy

:3eye: You are all blind to this massive conspiracy............it is obviously crop circles formed by an E.T.

non believers:3eye:

its like a giant etcha-sketch!

The Cornfield Conspiracy
 

Looks like he got excellent gas mileage.
Must have been the ethanol.

Things go further with Coke.

I like how the local paper here put the caption for it: Signs of unintelligent life. :lol:
