i still see those big truck "nuts" hanging from pickup trucks.

i never understood them. AT ALL. first and foremost, they look ridiculous. second, i am not that interested in handling big rubber nuts, that big.


what was the thinking behind that? fess up, anyone ever have them?

Be honest, you're just dropping hints for the gift exchange aren't you?

If you see balls there's usually a prick nearby.

Seriously, what is this guy thinking? Does he think it's cool or makes him tough? The only thing missing is a Raider Nation window decal.

Wait a minute, weren't you saying just yesterday it was going to cost you $40 to ship some nuts? Glad I didn't have you in the gift exchange, or was it a "stocking stuffer" for Todd?

I don't get it either. I don't see them as often as I was, but they are still around. It's just an easier way to identify the douches without getting too close.

By the way, what's your address??


Last Christmas Eve, i covertly stuffed two oranges into a sock and wired it to my brother-in-law's truck. Still makes me laugh. This year, it will be a "rainbow" license plate frame.

Make sure you put the plate on the front, they rarely notice anything there. I was working on "We Were Soldiers Once" and after filming we ended up with the task of shipping the military technical advisor's ( a Captain) truck to his new duty station at Ft Campbell, Ky. We had a rainbow plate made that said "Don't ask, don't tell" and put it on the front. He didn't notice it for 2 weeks and had been wondering why the gate guard was giving him funny looks as he'd drive on base.
