Last Friday we had our pontoon boat full of dogs and traveled from the Allegheny River up Crooked Creek. I took this picture from the boat.
It appears to be a trailer consisting of a giant compressed gas cylinder and many horns. Ever see something like this? What does it do? And how about the poor person inadvertently caught by my picture?
It’s to celebrate the holiday. It looks like a massive air tank surrounded by a shit-load of air horns. I suspect that the star-studded blue box at the rear holds a generator/compressor to keep the air tank filled.
You DO NOT want to be in front of that thing when it sounds off.
“Ladies… and… Gentlemen…! It is with Great Pleasure that we announce that Lord High Rectum has decided to grace your presence with a performance So Spectacular that he can barely wrap his 'roids around it!
Thus, without further Further Adieu… His Royal Poo…!”
If the great French flatulist, Le Pétomane, had one of these, he wouldn’t have needed the generator/compressor unit. “The Imperial March” and the “1812 Overture” would sound fabulous.
Furthermore, the “neighborhood” is an extremely quiet area along the bank of Crooked Creek. Kinda nature preserve quiet. That’s what made the device even more of a WTF.
At a guess, there’s a controller somewhere under the hood that trips solenoids to actually play tunes with all the various sized horns. Think the General Lee car horns on steroids.
I’m betting on some insane smoker that morphed into an even more insane piece of functional art. I’ve seen some pretty “busy” trailer units around the various fairs and for rent.
