Highlander, AKA "The Flying Butt"

According to this site:

“Highlander” is a name that will make half the SDMB love it, and half hate it, with a sizeable contingent saying that they wouldn’t be able to make another one, because either:

a.) There Can Be Only One

or

b.) There IS no “Highlander II”

This can all be avoided by simply calling it what the first photo suggests (to me, anyway) – “The Flying Butt”

It’s actually called the Airlander 10, which may not be a great name but it’s still not the same as Highlander.

“Flying Butt” would still be more appropriate

Threads like this crack me up.

Now you’re being cheeky.

Well, from that particular angle, it does have a rumpish look, but overall, it doesn’t.

…I’m just glad its not Aer Lingus…

Agreed, but I think that, from the front, it’d look like The Flying Tits.
Interestingly, they don’t have any shots from that POV. I suspect they’d rather not let us know.

From the side, it looks like Thunderbird 2.

About the time of World War II, Curtis aviators designed a plane with stabilizing surfaces in front. It was nicknamed the Curtis Ascender.
But it didn’t fly. :wink:

I propose “HMS Callipygian”.

In a Don Martin cartoon sequence, a fisherman has gone “bottom fishing.”
Guess what the fishes’ heads look like! :smiley:

But can it perform the Flying Butt Pliers?

I don’t want to know what that is…:eek::o

There was a cartoon in Playboy about a farmer (with a lot of female helpers) bragging to another guy about his “great bottom land”.

You know you do…

Ren and Stimpy, eh? You’re welcome to it. Eccch.

I wonder what he grew there…

“Hey look, it’s a giant flying…”

I just watched that. I could have done just fine without it. :rolleyes:
