Bloody bronies. They need a proper paddling.

When did TFF come out, 2010? You know, that really was quite a while ago. My life has changed quite a bit since then.

Mid August 2010...I remember listening to it that August summer in my garden. That was ages ago.

Ah yes, a good cup of Maiden while gazing at the garden, enjoying a cucumber sandwich.

Zeppelin before a show, rock gods

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Grapes & pears = rock gods?!

Steak.

 

[Brigantium]

Chilli.

Steak.

Chilli.

Neither of those things are on that table. You two are just being plain daft now.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

No, but the steak was on my table. Now it is in my stomach. And it was very tasty.

I think the fact the "NPFTD could've been amaxing" thread took a nosedive into silliness (to such an extent that @Perun has now locked it) is a clear sign that we need a new Maiden album.

NOW.

 

[Perun]

Yeah, this place is turning into a nuthouse. Do you see what you are doing to us, Maiden? Do you see it?

One flew east, one flew west...

And one flew over the cuckoo's nest.

Very clever line, that, considering that the cuckoo dooesn't build nests.

The fact that Where Eagles Dare (the movie) and One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (the movie) have so similar titles in Norwegian (literally, their Norwegian titles translate to The Eagle's Nest and The Cuckoo's Nest, respectively) made me think: What if one made a cinematic mashup of the two, where the lunatics stormed a Bavarian castle?

I think that's the point of it all.

I'd totally watch that.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Very possible. I have never given the title much thought, seeing as in Norwegian, "gjøk" (cuckoo) is pretty often used as a synonym for "lunatic", so I have taken the film title pretty much at face value and only after watching the movie found out the line was from a poem.

 

[Perun]

Well, 'cuckoo' is used in crazy connotations in German as well, and at least in American English too, as far as I know. So that, combined with the fact that cuckoos don't build nests, has always made it clear to me that the context is that of insanity.

 

[Brigantium]

Cuckoos lay their eggs in other birds' nests. Oh, the plot twists could be endless.

Cue images of Chief Bromden throwing Nurse Ratched from the roof of a cable car ...
