I could hear it now:
“No, Dammit, not Spruce Goose. Grey Goose! Grey Goose..! Oh, the hell with it. You’re useless. Just bury me already…”
I wonder, do birds take it for a cat, or a copter?
I want to be a helicopter when I die. Imagine the nightmares I can cause at Halloween!
Orville got a mention on NPR’s Morning Edition today.
Imagine these dogs trying to convince the dogs from the next neighbourhood over.
“Swear to God, he was flying!”
“Yeah, right, a flying cat. What do look like? A cocker spaniel?”
I dunno. I can see why people find it funny, but I think there’s something kind of disrespectful about it. And I’m far from stuffy about these kinds of things.
Great video here of Orville chasing cows around a field.
It’s an awesome idea. I think the cat would’ve appreciated his new-found bird-like mobility.
You win the thread.

Y’know that “cak-cak-cak-cak” chittering sound cats make when they see a squirrel outside the window? I’m imagining gunn turretz sound effects now…
I just saw the “Orvillecopter” on CNN and now I’m reading this thread and laughing my ass off!
Did anyone else think that link was going to be a picture of a dog’s “red rocket.” :eek:
Says the video was removed.
That’s weird; I watched it this morning and it was just about a minute and a half of Orville buzzing around the field scaring the cows, accompanied by his owner and another guy talking in German or Dutch or something. Nothing spammy or scammy.
I appologize if it’s already been posted… but you have to wonder how long it will be before we see a hog-copter on youtube.
Where’d that pig go that was on the highway outside of pittsburgh… here piggy…
Probably a copyright complaint.
How sick.
I saw a portion of the second video on the late news last night. I went to bed with a smile on my face for the first time in a long time. And I love cats.
I showed this to my SO last night and he laughed so hard he nearly choked. My SO is a fairly serious man and rarely laughs that hard. It was nice to hear. 
I’m imagining that this, like so many other ideas, started with the phrase, “Here, hold my beer.”
