Maverick, Goose, Iceman three names you may associate with one of the greatest cinematic productions of all time. I’m assuming that all 3 of you who read this have seen top gun so I’m not going to dilly dally on the finer details of plot, call-signs, frosted tips and other components of the movie that will be vital going forward.
Drove home in some pretty adverse conditions Thursday and saw that gnarly diagonal snow plough truck line they make to clear the highways in one fell swoop. Instead of focusing on the snow, the high volume of traffic or the multitude of other dangers I was surrounded by. I started to think about Tom Cruise (no homo).
People take for granted Tom Cruises exploits in Top Gun. One word people, VAL KILMER. I’d love to see you confidently compete against “The” Val Kilmer, say what you want about his current cinematic status or his fat-ass performance in Heat where he was fat with a pseudo p-tail. The guy was fucking batman, and not the new age “omg best movie ever” Dark Knight. I’m talking the batman who was so bad-ass he couldn’t even move his head. That shit was statuesque, there is nothing more dramatic then turning to look at someone with ones entire body. I urge you to try it in your next business or job related interaction, you will love the results. Back to said Gun. Val Kilmer had his shit together in Top Gun. The man was able to keep his tips frosted while out at sea on a navy aircraft carrier. I can’t even grow hair on 20% of my head, let alone sustain a high maintenance arguably still “in style” frosted tip spikey do. He never even got helmet hair.
FACT! If all 7 billion people in the world stood shoulder to shoulder we would take up a space the size of Los Angeles. BANK IT.
All I’m saying is I think Tom Cruise deserves a little more recognition for his work in his F-14A Tomcat. You try and do corkscrews and barrel rolls and shit, come to think of it you probably don’t even have an F-14A Tomcat. You should probably stick with the snow plough driving dream, like I am.
So, without further useless jibber jabber
The top gun of snow plough truck driving is clearly the dudes who roll in squadrons of 2-8 to clear those vital highways so we can get our Toyota prius’s home for dinner. I firmly believe that they too have call signs and follow very similar lifestyles to afore mentioned Top Gun fighter pilots. Rigorous physical and mental training, and of course the most important component of either top tier professions
CALL SIGNS.
Some call signs I believe were the first taken by these Top Gun snow ploughers include: Icepick, Flashfreeze, Rustyshovel, Salt, Blackice, and Blizzard....I guess there was a Top Gun movie fan who picked Iceman, but that’s like calling me Lloyd Christmas..not cool.
