"Smoking" Coat

I like a girl with a lo-o-o-o-o-o-ng jacket.

A long, stylishly cut, black overcoat, fitted with a compact smoke generation machine and a network of tiny pipes leading to fine nozzles concealed in the back and tail of the coat.

Select the colour of smoke you wish to produce, turn it on and walk along, billowing a trail of white, black, red, green or <insert colour here> smoke, to the amazement and amusement of everyone you pass.

I just want one.

       I'm sorry, smoking is not allowed here

       Quite Bakeable; to maintain a smoke tail outside in anything more than still air needs a lot of smoke, but it would work OK indoors. Excellent for bursting into high-level meetings, glaring and trailing red smoke, and slamming the latest sales figures down on the table, causing the attendees to cling and cower. Glowing red contact lenses would be a good addition.

       From "Carry on Screaming" (from memory) ...   

       femme fatale on divan: "Do you smoke?"
officer: "Not on duty."
"Do you mind if I smoke?"
"Not at all"
Smoke starts to rise from full length of femme fatale...
  

       So, it's almost a WICTTISITMWIB etc.

       I hope you don't plan on wearing it into a bank or airport. (Neutral)
21 Quest, Oct 21 2009
  

       I don't frequent banks or airports. It was inspired by a TV ad for Nissan cars, earlier this evening.

       [+] I'll take the teargas model plx.

       Is that a Cake reference? :)
paix120, Oct 21 2009
  

       I didn't think they had Cake in Utah.
Laimak, Oct 21 2009
  

       I wouldn't mind one that releases a gas infused with capsaicin. By the way, what is this "Cake" you guys are referring to?
21 Quest, Oct 21 2009
  

       Needs some kind of big sound system for the ultimate in lift exits.
bigsleep, Oct 21 2009
  

       could be put in shoes, so when you show up somewhere, people think you got there really, really fast.   

       [21Quest] - look up "the distance" on www.lala.com - everybody knows that song. Their covers are awesome, esp. all the Frank Sinatra.
CaptainClapper, Oct 21 2009
  

       I'll have to look it up later. Now the lift exit got me thinking... stink gas!
21 Quest, Oct 21 2009
  

       Damn, that is a seriously funny link, [leopard].
UnaBubba, Oct 21 2009
  

       Er, yes. Sorry about that. Back to the R&D lab ... or rather the smoking remains of the R&D lab.   

       Well, you did ask for smoke ...

       [marked-for-deletion] redundant - see link. Ok it's not a hat, but it's the same idea, works in the same way, and produces the same effect.
xenzag, Oct 21 2009
  

       sp. "Smoking Jacket" [marked-for-retention]
FlyingToaster, Oct 21 2009
  

       So not the same then, [xenzag]?   

       Sorry, independent posting of a different garment with a different mechanism doesn't really equate to redundancy, in my view. Your complaint is a bit like saying sheep make cows redundant because they both eat grass, produce milk and are edible.
UnaBubba, Oct 23 2009
  

       The two ideas are the same, and work the same way, only I wrote mine first for a hat, then you transplanted it unto a coat, and now claim this as an original idea. I say it's not. I say it's redundant and you should take it down, even if moderators do not.
xenzag, Oct 23 2009
  

       And I say you're looking for a fight, and a pattern that doesn't exist. I didn't know about your goofy fucking hat when I posted this. I did a search for "smoke" and "coat" and your hat didn't show up, strangely enough.
UnaBubba, Oct 23 2009
  

       A fight you say! How ridiculous is that? What makes you think I would reduce myself to that sort of moronic behaviour? How do you propose to conduct such a fight? - I say snails at dawn in a swamp near you.
xenzag, Oct 23 2009
  

       You're on.
