Whenever I get to the movies I have the same problem: The person behind me can't see a danged thing because I'm tall, large, and have a boof head.
Movie Glasses are a pair of periscopes mounted sideways on a frame so the wearer can see around the head of the giant in front of them.
Issued
to short people as they enter the cinema, these will be as popular as headsets on aircraft.
UnaBubba, going to the movies.

Hardly, [Amos]. I'm just a really inefficient design for movie theatre and airline seats. |
|
| |
Kinda Australian, isn't it? |
|

I like the idea but I'd like it even more if you offered me a drawing or schematic of the device in use. Not to aid the description (which is perfectly clear as it is) but just for my own amusement. Do you have tall 'boofy' friends? If you all went to the cinema and sat in a row together in front of the small people, would this defeat your device or do you have a cunning plan to get around this? |
|
| |
I'm not familiar with the term, and from calum's link it appears to refer to intercourse. Do you mean that you have a rather large hair-do, in which case it should be spelled "bouf"?
(+) for the theatre periscopes, though. |
|
| |
people should be seated at the cinema by height. |
|
| |
[po] - but that's ignoring important factors like vision-impairments, hearing impairments, proximity to friends and of course, body odour! |
|
| |
I had a pooch called Boof in Oz. |
|
| |
dob, you say that as though it were a *bad* thing. |
|
| |
I could really use these. Whenever I go to gigs, the tallest man in the world always turns up and stands in front of me. I should compliment him on his impeccable taste sometime. |
|
| |
If I get to see the movie through a square structure, I rather rent it and watch it home. |
|
| |
In Oz, having a boof head simply means it's large, or ugly, or sometimes it means dense. In my case it means large and probably ugly. |
|
| |
I've only seen it here used to describe big hair. |
|
| |
eg "Mum, look at my boof hair, I can't go to school like this". |
|
| |
Boofy is also how my poodle looks after grooming. |
|
| |
[blissy], there are some, with so much bone around the soft bit, that light cannot pass by without falling victim to local gravity conditions. |
|
| |
Me not thikk! Me real smart and stuffs... |
|
| |
I agree with Pericles. Stadium
seating is the way to go. |

All poodles are poofter dogs, aren't they? |
|
| |
The ones on the right of the picture (see link)? |

"You must be shorter than this 1.8 meter stick to watch this screening. All others and their parties are required to use the tall-person's screen, across the hall." |

Didn't Addams do a cartoon like this once? |
