A story of an epic fail Pete Rose head first slide at home during a softball game.
Great Gift! Place it on: • Vehicles (Cars, trucks, boats, planes. Anywhere... rear, front, side panel, or dash. • Amateur radio linear amplifiers. • Lawn mowers, Golf carts, motorcycles. • Your underwear drawer?!?! The Oscillation Overthruster emblem... As not seen in The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension with Peter Weller, Ellen Barkin, John Lithgow, Jeff Goldblum and Christopher Lloyd. The only thing missing from Buckaroo Banzai's Rokit 88 car was this medallion. (I suppose it could have fallen off when blasting through the mountain.) Few people will know what it means. However, the inner circle crowd knows. When they see your emblem they will either be: friendly, annoyingly inquisitive, a Blue Blaze Irregular, a Red Lectroid, or... gasping for air, laughing their butts off. By the way, this is not a cheap, crappy emblem where you see the black plastic along the edges. Buckaroo wouldn't stand for that. His emblem would be FULLY chrome-covered plastic and look like the real factory deal. And, this one is! (Size: 6" x 2" x 3/16") This is a custom designed, limited edition medallion. Only 300 made. Maybe we will do it again when the sequel—Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League—gets made. (Come on, Kevin Smith. Straighten these Hollywood dudes out. Send Jay and Silent Bob if you have to.) If you're sitting there scratching you head, saying, "WTF is an Oscillation Overthuster, and why would I want this talisman of power on my vehicle?" I'll let you in on some inner circle knowledge... "Buckaroo Banzai and his mentor Dr. Tohichi Hikita perfected the "oscillation overthruster", a device that allows an object to pass through solid matter. Banzai tests it by driving his Jet Car through a mountain. While in transit, he finds himself in another dimension. After exiting the mountain and returning to his normal dimension, he discovers an alien organism has attached itself to his car." ~ wikipedia.com An Oscillation Overthruster is not to be confused with the knockoff* Flux Capacitor from the Back to the Future, Delorean super vehicle. * The pioneering Buckaroo Banzai movie was released, August 10, 1984. Its honorable imitation, Back to the Future, was released, July 3, 1985. As explained elsewhere... "Both of these films have very similar-sounding power sources that they rely on in order to travel around their respective sci-fi worlds. The two also allow for the films’ leads to defy logic and travel through space and time. For Buckaroo Banzai, it’s the Overthruster. For Back to the Future, it’s the Flux Capacitor. They also have a similar read out of three lines emerging from a central point." (Just coincidence?!?!) Thanks for looking. Prepare for the smiles when it arrives!
