This is Whizzing??

[mrsphyllistorgo]

Tearing at the fragile ecosystem of the earth with the mighty hand of progress has of course always been a dream of mankind, but it came to glorious fruition in these two films. Of the two, which would you prefer as a ridalong?

Say what you will about Tom's pechant for yelling "Roxy!", spontaneous guitar solos, and wearing of little white shorts, he comes prepared. From bedrolls to rifles to makings for stew, he's a guy to be trapped with in the desert--at least until you ripped his face off in frustration when he wouldn't bloody stop singing "Valerie."

The dune buggy ride in Girl...is a whole different species. Fast paced, roaring, wind whipping your hair as the waves churned beneath the treads, this ride is all right here, right now!, baby! Preparation is for losers and squares! And there's no long term commitment to the driver--he's happy to drop you at your picnic blanket with the two potential men in your life--one draft dodger, one petty criminal--and tear away into the sunset, squashed turtle eggs and rare beach grasses spewing in his wake! Live fast, die young, leave a good looking corpse, amirite?

So vote early and often? What's your ride?


My tires are filled with water!

I voted for Girl In Gold Boots. Eegah was just too weird as a movie.

The dune buggies of Cosmic Princess and Blood Waters of Dr Z are very upset to be left out.

[mrsphyllistorgo]

Yeah, but that little wannabe in Blood Waters wasn't on any kind of dune. It lasted--what, thirty seconds? in the river until its quite spectacularly stupid driver got hisself bit by a water moccasin and that was the end of that!

Haven't watched Cosmic Princess yet, but I'm willing to reserve judgement.

I can go either way between Roxy and Michelle, so it comes down to Arch Hall Jr. and Critter. No contest there -- I gotta get some gold boots for myself.

[Broadsword]

I would have gone what ever ride Michelle wanted to go on.
A Calf. beach would more enjoyable the in the middle of the desert.

After reading the thread title, I'm just so glad this is about riding dune buggies.

both qualify as "hell" in my book, so it's impossible to choose. I can think of no worse companions than a ditzy female that says "whee" or the oily thief of GiGB. On the other hand, I do think they accurately represent typical dune buggy drivers.

Depends on how excited they get.

Damn. I thought this thread was going to be about urine.
