I saw the strangest thing tonight!!

[proud2BlibKansan]

I got behind a truck in traffic coming home. It was a big Dodge Ram. There was a W sticker in the window and a bumper sticker on the back that had a Marine emblem and said "All men are born equal but some become more equal".

But the odd thing was under the trailer hitch, there was what looked like a rubber bag containing two balls about the size of golf balls. It looked like testacles!

So this guy is driving around in a big ass truck with a W sticker on the window and testacles hanging from the trailer hitch! And you should have seen them bouncing around. :eyes:

WTF?

Is this why I just don't understand the W worshippers? I can't even imagine what kind of a twisted sense of humor a person has to have to hang testacles from the rear end of their truck.

Oh and as I am following this guy, I am listening to Sam Seder talking about torture at abu graib. Talk about a Twilight Zone experience. (cue music - dee dee dee dee)

[atommom]

1. Can you say "overcompensation"?

:rofl:

I shouldn't make fun of him, but that's just nuts. :spray:

[HeeBGBz]

9. "Just nuts..."

[proud2BlibKansan]

17. Yep it was nuts alright

:rofl:

[Vektor]

2. CLEARLY this idiot was lacking real man parts.

No one with an actual set of balls would feel the need to do that.

[proud2BlibKansan]

20. Of course he had no balls

They were hanging from the rear of his truck!

[Ilsa]

3. Man, that is surreal.

These guys think they have big ones, but I bet it more like penis envy or compensation for having a little one. Only someone with an emotional problem would feel compelled to hang their balls from their truck. Totally different message if it had been a woman driving.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

4. I've seen this on DU before. Link:

http://www.bumpernuts.com/

[waiting for hope]

7. Ohh....

that is soooo gross! I would like to know how to explain that one to my four year old if we to see that on the road....

"Um, honey, well, it's like this....some people just never grow up and what you see is an example of that. No, that's not Daddy's..."

Shheeesh....:blush:

[Sparkly]

12. That was my thought, too ...

"Well dear, it's a scrotum. Why is it on the truck? I have NO idea."

As IF a "W04" weren't already an "I'm a Jerk and an Idiot" sticker.

[LittleClarkie]

18. Maybe they belong to "Man" Coulter

(slap,slap)

[proud2BlibKansan]

25. I thought about that too

How do you explain this to a kid? sheesh

[waiting for hope]

31. As usual,

RW morality and blah, blah blah....such double standards...

[NanceGreggs]

8. Never heard of this before ...

... so I went to the link you provided.

This should be 'probable cause' for taking someone's driver's license away right on the spot.

[karlrschneider]

10. I can't think of anything to say about that.

:eyes:

[HeeBGBz]

13. How absurd!

I would really have to take a good look at any moran that would have one of these on his vehicle. Nuts.

[proud2BlibKansan]

28. Hee hee I found a way to pull up next to him

at a light. I had to see who this moran was. He was a white guy in his 40s talking on a cell phone. And of course, when the light changed, I pulled in front of him so he could see my DU bumper sticker. :)

[HeeBGBz]

52. Ick.

I wonder how many of these little baubles get neutered?

[proud2BlibKansan]

62. Good question!

Let's hope this guy is not breeding.

[grateful581]

15. ah the perfect christmas gift

[...of J.Temperance]

19. So, is it ONLY me who thinks that bumpernuts site is hilarious?

That was as amusing as Junior trying to get out of the locked door.

Sorry, maybe I've just got a warped sense of humor, but that Bumper Nuts site and the captions are fucking hilarious :)

Hey, at least I can admit it okay.

The blue balls one was especially funny.

:rofl:

[proud2BlibKansan]

32. Maybe I would have laughed if he didn't have

that damn W sticker in his window. That made me sick. Then I saw the nuts.

[...of J.Temperance]

35. Well yeah, I understand...the W sticker would have put me off as well, but

Seeing those darn things on that bumpernuts.com site...that made me laugh!

[electricray]

48. No, no. I think it is f-ing hilarious. But then again...

I also like poop jokes, Adam Sandler movies and anything with Rodney Dangerfield.

[...of J.Temperance]

53. No, I don't like any of those other things that you mention, they're

Pretty disgusting and juvenile.

So no, those things aren't even remotely funny.

[electricray]

58. Well at least tell me you like Chris Farley or Will Farrell movies n/t

[...of J.Temperance]

60. Nope...I like David Lynch and Alejandro Jodorowsky films amongst

Others :)

[Sparkly]

21. Hilarious sales pitch from that page...

"Nothing shows that you got a pair of big balls like hanging some Bumper Nuts from your car bumper!"

Let's change that...

"Nothing shows that you're a complete jerk like hanging some Bumper Nuts from your car bumper!"

"Nothing shows that you're suffering from a sexual inferiority complex like hanging some Bumper Nuts from your car bumper!"

And of course, "Nothing shows that you're a clueless 'moran'like hanging some Bumper Nuts from your car bumper -- especially combined with a W-04 sticker!"

[...of J.Temperance]

29. Oh HAVE a sense of humor...it's SURREAL and FUNNY n/t

[Sparkly]

36. The funniest thing to me is

any guy thinking it was in any way cool or impressive to have these on their truck!

By the way, are there plastic boobs for front hoods, too? I'm afraid to ask!!

[...of J.Temperance]

43. No THAT wouldn't be allowed

Women are exploited enough, I mean women's parts are exploited.

So it always makes me laugh when men's parts get exploited. Kind of even's things out.

[Sparkly]

69. Well, there are other differences...

Breasts are indeed used for commercial gain, but I don't know anybody who lusts after balls. Maybe they do, but I've never heard of it. :shrug:

In fact, I think the scrotum is the least attractive parts of any human body, and is hyped as a symbol of strength beyond all reason. (I love Stephen Colbert saying, "Do you have the BALLS? Well, DO YOU?")

Why men feel a need to celebrate and boast about this is beyond me. THAT is what I find hilarious.

[...of J.Temperance]

78. I wasn't saying

What was attractive and what wasn't attractive.

However we do have a new question: Why is the scrotum hyped as a symbol of strength.

I suppose there are several reasons, well one main reason. I'm trying hard not to get this thread locked...

[proud2BlibKansan]

40. You read my mind, Sparkly!

Another thing - my friend was following me. We were going out to eat. When I met her at the restaurant, I said "I just saw the craziest thing!" She said "That truck? The W sticker was bad enough, but the balls were twisted!" LOL

[Sparkly]

54. Ouch!!

hahaHA!!!

It reminds me of a truck I saw not long ago while driving with my daughter, here in Maryland -- it had rightwing bumperstickers all over it, even an anti-vegetarian slogan, and not one but two confederate flags waving (not to start another flamewar on that topic). Just over the TOP (I imagine it was a perfect candidate for bumpernutz).

We cracked up and decided we had to get along side that truck to see what this particular brand of jerk looked like. It was a young guy wearing a cowboy hat, hanging his elbow and head out the window, giving us a cocky smile that seemed to indicate he thought we were impressed. We shook our heads and couldn't stop laughing. He probably still thinks we were just giggling in admiration.

[proud2BlibKansan]

22. Yes that was them!

But the bag was blue and the nuts were suspended up behind the hitch so they dangled.

[proud2BlibKansan]

30. Can we post the picture?

Mods, delete if it is against the rules.

[Mr_Spock]

66. Oh, no :(

Say it ain't so :rofl:

[DesertRat]

67. "Don't hang with chicken wire"

I can't believe anyone would buy bumper nuts! :puke:

[Catherine Vincent]

73. That's about the dumbest thing I've seen.

People will think of anything to make money.

[Patsy Stone]

5. Have you never seen this before?

I see them all too frequently, those truck testicles. Isn't it lovely? It's always on those big-ass pick-ups, too. I always scream, "Sorry about your penis!" when I see them.

[proud2BlibKansan]

42. No I have never had the privilege before.

And hopefully, not again anytime soon.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

6. Hang a pair of those shears that they use to castrate bulls from

the back of your car and pull in front of the loser.

[proud2BlibKansan]

47. Can I call them

W shears?

[quiet.american]

11. Yuck, disgusting. If I had kids, I wouldn't want them to see that. n/t

[sepia_steel]

14. I have seen that hitch cover!!

I know it's just supposed to be funny (I hope)... but it's really strange to me.

And the sticker... wtf?

[...of J.Temperance]

37. They ARE funny and you know, we're MEANT to be open-minded and

Progressive and anything goes...so we all should find those things funny. They're just surreal and amusing novelty items.

Of course, EXCEPT when they're owned by Repukes and Junior supporting freaks.

[sepia_steel]

46. I guess my idea of funny doesn't extend itself to ballsacks on trailer

hitches... imagine trying to explain that to my kid. Hahaha. It's just body parts, but still...

[...of J.Temperance]

59. Okay I do understand your point

I've not got any kids yet...I suppose when I do have some I'll start thinking differently about this kind of thing.

:toast:

[sepia_steel]

64. I don't either.

I DO think it's funny, but there's a place for it, KWIM?

It's funny in a weird way, though. There was one on a truck at my old job, and I couldn't figure out if I thought it was funny or not. It is, but in a 'wtf?' kind of way. I thought it was really stupid that this person had this on his truck at a place of business (and I think he was the owner).

:P

[...of J.Temperance]

68. The open road where little kids might see it is I admit inappropriate

That's what I mean, it's funny in a weird way...and I've always liked surrealist humor, and to me it's surreal.

I'm going to get some for my friend, I don't know where he'll hang them...he might even hang them outside in the garden to frighten the crows off or something :)

[Robert Cooper]

79. Think again

Fact is any kid too young to understand is strapped into the car seat in the back seat and isn't going to see those things unless you pass them in a parking lot while walking. Any kid old enough to see them from the front seat is going to know what they are and won't need to ask.

And if asked, you explain them by calling them "decorations", end of story.

This 'what do I tell the children' thing is way over-blown in this case.

[belle]

63. It just seems lame to me, but what do I know?

I don't see the difficulty explaining "what" to a kid; as for "why," "your guess is as good as mine" would be my response...

[sepia_steel]

65. What seems lame?

Sorry, I'm not sure what you're referring to exactly (I don't mean this as a flame)

[proud2BlibKansan]

50. I disagree

This was a public roadway and this type of 'humor' wouldn't be appropriate for a child to see.

[...of J.Temperance]

61. Okay see my previous answer to the other parent

That answer applies to you too :)

[MercutioATC]

16. "Trucknutz - The Ultimate Truck Accessory" (link provided)

http://www.trucknutz.com/

[...of J.Temperance]

24. Well that site was okay...but it's not as funny as bumpernuts

Jaysus...I might have to get a pair of those bumpernuts for someone I know, just as a novelty item, I mean he WON'T hang them from his vehicle, he'll just think that they're as hilarious as I do.

Yeah, the flesh colored ones or the steel ones...I'm a-thinkin'

[FreedomAngel82]

23. Weird!

Ew.

[...of J.Temperance]

26. Weird BUT funny!

Oh it IS, just admit it!

[area51]

27. Oh, brother.

That reminded me of this company I heard about on the radio, that sells, uh, ballsies.

[Sparkly]

34. Ack!!!

I never heard of ANY of these before!!

I just showed that to Husb2Sparkly and told him that if that was on the list of things he wanted to get me for Christmas, scratch it off!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[globalvillage]

41. Scratch it?

OK, this just keeps getting better...
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Sparkly]

55. LOL!!

:rofl:

[proud2BlibKansan]

44. Well at least those are small

balls. LOL

[globalvillage]

33. Do they come with a bumper sticker

That says "THE DICK'S BEHIND THE WHEEL"?

[Inland]

38. ROFL! nt

[sepia_steel]

51. HAHAHAHAA nt

[Sparkly]

56. Good one!!!

:thumbsup:

[proud2BlibKansan]

75. Best post of the thread!

:rofl:

[seemunkee]

39. I was joking with the BIL about this yesterday

Saying I needed to put those on my Mini.

[...of J.Temperance]

49. Ding Ding Ding...we have a winning comment!

Of course, I'd better not ask if the Mini is a convertible and if you got a pair of those bumpernuts things would you be planning on having the hood on or the hood off :)

Okay. I know. Sorry.

[proud2BlibKansan]

57. My new car kinda looks like a Mini

If you're game, I could try it too.

But then again, I just looked at the website. Those things cost $15!! Sorry, not worth it.

[tamtam]

45. Glad I'm not nuts ( no pun intended)

I've seen this in Arizona and San Diego and at first I thought I was seeing things. I asked my husband if those were suppose to be what I thought they were and he laughed at me and told me it was not what I thought it was. Both times they have been on huge jacked up trucks with huge tires and yes the W bumper stickers. They aren't even trying to hide their insecurities anymore they think that shit is cute.

[tallahasseedem]

70. I swear when I read this....

I thought you must live in Tallahassee because I saw the same exact thing today! This one was a emerald green Dodge Ram with a W sticker and green balls hanging from the trailer hitch. It literally took me about a mile to finally accept the fact that he actually had them on his truck.

[proud2BlibKansan]

71. No I live in Kansas City

which is actually fairly liberal. At least more so than the rest of Missouri and Kansas.

[ismnotwasm]

72. Since I think they're ridiculous

I called my husband in here. I said, "Honey, do you think these are funny?" (He did) "Do you want a pair?" (He didn't) But then he thought they would be a great gag gift for one or two overly "macho" friends...
Wouldn't spend the money on them though. They're not THAT funny..

[Ioo]

74. I saw them on a GEO Metro..

[proud2BlibKansan]

76. Did they scrape the ground?

GEO Metros are pretty low on the road.

[ismnotwasm]

77. 21 century version of a Pinto

Now that is funny...
