Good cross-cultural concept. At least for those who know the characters, this is much less ambiguous than the other descriptions.
Nuclear breath vs. Listerine?
Maybe we're both confused, though. Shouldn't that have been Godzilla vs. Scooby-Doo?

Re: Honking Ro?
As far as what I do is concerned, I vocalize sometimes and other times I blow hard. I'm always mixing it up according to my mood and what music I'm playing. I don't know what else to add.
I might add, my playing is idiosyncratic, so kids don't try this at home. I'm probably not a good example to follow.

Re: Honking Ro?
I have found that sometimes I find myself doing a gargling type effect with my throat when trying to play a deep RO. It does not come out as any real noticeable sound effect though.I tried last night to see if I could get a different sound from it last night without any luck.
I was not conscious whether I was riding on the wind or the wind was riding on me.
