June 26, 2007: Corn field motoring



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*.

Quote:
Around 18.25 the police force report got that on the Kornpad in Dussen grey Mercedes the corn field
had ridden into area car. On the spot the agents found a completely confused man, who drove rondjes
with its car constantly by the corn field. It succeeded in absolutely no manner to make contact with
the man. When of the agents a its gatekeeper tried pull open, the man gave gas. The agent fell on
the ground and could, by super-fast is legs pull away, prevents that he was run over. To prevent that
the motorist would reach public gone, the access ways were turned off to the field with police force
vehicles. This will have brought with, as it happens, an unacceptable security risk with itself.

Talking 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

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.

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

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.

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

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.
