Thread moved from GQ to MPSIMS.
Probably by hiding under the blankets with a *Playboy *and a flashlight like we all… wait… what was the question again? 
So that’s the explanation for that sign I see at a shop and yard in a nearby industrial area! I was amused and puzzled by the name, but any time I remembered to do a google search for it, I was at work and didn’t think I ought to type that name into my browser.
IKEA sells a computer desk, where a lot of people can do heavy “thinking” while visiting “websites for mature people.” Its name? Jerking.
Yeah I know that “j” is probably a “y” sound.
Close. My Google-fu says it’s actually Jerker.
Ah, minnets envishet.
My onan generator is slightly calloused and located at the end of my right arm.
Onan is a Turkish surname. It has a separate etymology from the Hebrew name.
I wonder if they have any at the Siemens place in Staines, Middlesex.
Wanna guess who’s the #1 seller of RVs in Indiana? Tom Raper. Wanna know how I know? Because all along the interstate in Indiana there are literally dozens of signs advertising Tom Raper RV. I swear to Christ, one of the signs simply said Raper! Raper! Raper! and listed a phone number.
So the point is, does Onan sell generators in Indiana? I can see Mr. Raper getting his power from Onan.
Onan: Hey! How come YOUR name goes first?
Cummins: And make it Onan-Cummins?
Onan: …
I so want to see a pic of these billboards.
It also reminds me of a USENET distributed list of student paper mistakes from 20+ years ago that included mention of the invention of the “McCormick raper” that could “do the work of ten men”. Har!
In an Orlando cemetery I have seen the tombstone of a couple: Raper-Farless. (I imagine, than the McCormick Raper would.)
Anybody looking at the ADS under this thread?

And also probably bebackhand too.
I thought it was a song by Stephen Bishop.
On and on and I feel like crying…
HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS ARE MENTALLY HANDICAPPED. This is MY family you are talking about… it was my great grandfather, David Onan, who invented one of the first electric generators. Obviously our name has nothing to do with the bible, ITS JUST A NAME. We pass on the name because we are proud of the things our family has accomplished. (Probably way more than your family ever will.) Cummins bought over the company… the names are unrelated. DO SOME RESEARCH DIP-SHITS. k thanks bye.
It’s a joke.
Guess it didn’t all get spilled.
I can’t believe how STUPID humans are. If any of you want to actually know about the Onan name, heres our family website: www.onanfamily.org
