He and some friends were driving off-road one day, rough terrain, 4WD required, and they came to a particularly tough obstacle. The trucks drove over it one at a time, and as the last truck lined up for it someone yelled, "come on, show us your balls!" The rest is history.<br /><br />I confess that I own a set of Trucknutz (actually from a competitor, bullsballs.com), though they mostly sit on a shelf in my garage. My truck only wears balls on special occasions: funeral processions, first dates, that sort of thing.<br /><br />JoelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-21445542583724714862009-09-21T16:35:19.074-04:002009-09-21T16:35:19.074-04:00You know, I did the opposite of #7 not all that lo...You know, I did the opposite of #7 not all that long ago... I started to change the diaper and went "wait, where'd it go??" before I realized what I was doing. Funny the things we get used to...<br /><br />And I'm happy to say that the Trucknutz phenomenon has not reached this part of CA. I am hoping it never does!! (And no, I didn't try to look at a picture, your description was horrific enough)<br /><br />And happy first birthday to your handsome little guy!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12689104216675201913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-78169638276834410662009-09-19T15:50:04.902-04:002009-09-19T15:50:04.902-04:00My eyes have not been corrupted by those accessori...My eyes have not been corrupted by those accessories you and Jen mention here in l'Ile d'Austin.

Personally, I always preferred the Yosemite Sam "Back Off" mudflaps. They'd look cool on my Fit!<br /><br />Years ago, while in London we picked up a copy of the <i>Times</i> and ran across an ad for the minivan Mitsubishi was promoting that made us guffaw. Featuring a photo of a nerdy-looking little man leaning jauntily against a minivan containing his wife (smiling sheepishly) and three or four energetic young'uns, it proclaimed, <br />"Your Car Says A Lot About You, You Big Hunky Stud."<br /><br />Nothing says macho like seating for eight!CMinorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07305306030099439903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-75372208996669801892009-09-18T14:01:13.999-04:002009-09-18T14:01:13.999-04:00*laughs*
