Ok I said this was a UK thing
Cadbury make a chocolate "bar" that is composed of many thin, folded layers and is thus flaky hence the name Flake. The "bar" is approximately six inches (15 cm), long and 1/2 inch (1.2 cm), diameter. From the mid 70s there was a TV advertising campaign that consisted of girls alone in dreamy locations sucking, licking or otherwise suggestively consuming said chocolate bar. The PC world put an and to the campaign in the mid to late 80s. I said it was a UK thing.
One of the adverts featured a field reminiscent of moodflow's scene.
I have the song On the Half Man Half Biscuit album ACD (Probre 8 ) bar code – 5 016559 000823. Track 5 Dickie Davis Eyes

That was just a quick lash up, there are many ways to improve it but it was quicker than finding the original thread

Tell me about it, I was experimenting with similar spikes but finding the tops getting cut off. I was just going to wait until extreme displacement is supported, I am sure I read somewhere that improvements were expected. I have now taken a quick scan down the spike thread and will have another look at my scene.
