Hi, do any of you Vietnam/Iraq vets happen to have a surface to air missile launcher lying around in the garage/cellar?
I`d be happy to swap you for a nice 3 or 4 string CBG.
The reason is that there is a really horrible police helicopter flying around here which is getting right on my nerves, and as it is so loud, I can`t hang out in the garden playing guitar anymore.......
You need to be a member of Cigar Box Nation to add comments!
I have potatoes and plumbs in the garden, do you recon that would do the trick?
Great idea. Maybe I should start designing a cigarbox catapult.....

When I was in Germany back in the 60s, a German fellow got annoyed with army helicopters flying too low over his home. He built a catapult and started shooting hefty German dumplings at them. The Army made a big public-relations thing out of it, officially "surrendering" to the guy and agreeing to keep to a proper altitude.
Damn the ghetto bird! I have the same problem in my "hood" from time to time. But they are usually actually looking for someone here. Not just logging flight hours

The neighbours are not the problem, and all is cool with them, it`s just this friggin police helicopter keeps turning up at just about any time, except when it rains......
Been going on all summer apparently, and the reason seems to be an accident up at Stuttgart airport, where a rescue helicopter exploded due to a faulty gas cylinder or something (was no one in it at the time, just an accident).
Now here in the state I live the helicopters going round are all paid for through the same state kitty, rescue or police, makes no difference.
The guy responsible for the kitty went on to tell all the other helicopters to fly some more to ensure that the money they recieve for flight maintenance will not be cut back in the comming year as they will be assessed on the flight hours from the previous year. Which means we have some friggin police helicopter flying around needlessly, just to make up for the missing hours from the helicopter which was involved in the accident and was destroyed.
Seems they are hoping to get another helicopter this way, as they plann to use these statistics for the presentation that the state should invest in a new rescue helicopter by these means.
Of course the police helicopters do not have the same equipment on board as a rescue helicopter, so it really is a bit pathetic.....
I got this information from a very reliable source on the matter too.....
I`m right pissed off with it, and the noise polution does not just annoy me.
The idea with the helium ballons and fishing wire seems not too bad......
And errr, sorry, but I`m not growing weed in the garden at all.

Of course not, everyone knows indoor growing is the way to go. ;)
If you have any fat hairy neighbours try to get them to do their lawns butt naked. That oughta do it. Me thinks.
