Only here have I seen fake testicles attached to trailer hitches. What the fuck is that about? Are the balls really fake? Do fillies put them on their truck or is it just a stallion thing? ---

[QUOTE=focusonz] Do fillies put them on their truck or is it just a stallion thing? [/QUOTE] The fillies mount themselves on the trailer hitches in a frenzy of sexual desire. It’s because the fillies can’t tell the real balls on a real man from the fake balls on a trailer hitch. Silly fillies – they fall for the stallion’s trick every time. I’m surprised that you have not seen this yet. ---

I recently heard of this trend while listening to a morning radio talk show. I haven’t seen it for myself but the guys on the radio were ranting about how dumb it looks. It was one of the funnier things I’ve listened to in a while. Can’t wait to actually see what this is all about. Anyone got a link to a pic of this nonsense? ---

Does the display of balls turn the ladies on? Are they phallic symbols and/or are they a modern day cod piece. And what about the cod piece anyway? ---

There was a thread about this a while ago, but I tried to search and only came up with this one. I’d try again, but…well, that’s a real matter for the Pit right there. I saw these on a real live truck in front of me at a stoplight…I laughed for about ten minutes straight. That’s supposed to be good for you, so perhaps they are promoting health and wellness. Strange thing…men usually refer to their cars as “she”, but I guess a truck would be a “he”. ---

My next door neighbour has those on his truck… EXTENDED cab, EXTENDED Box… He Also has a Harley Obviously compensating for a lack of power between the legs, I would say… (Note the guy is clich`e red neck… 4 kids, 3 ex-wives, flies a union jack (up here in canada, no less) sigh there goes the nieghbourhood FML ---

Whoa, the rednecks in Canada actually fly the Union Jack? The British Flag? That’s insane, if it’s actually true. ---

I particularly like this quote on the bumpernuts main page: _Now if you don’t want to hang these on your truck, then they do make a great paperweight. I tell people to rub the balls for courage when they go to court. I call them power balls. Pretty sick, eh? Some folks buy the brass balls for the boss. Great Gift for any CEO._ ---

Fuck that, if I was going to buy brass balls for my boss I’d settle for nothing less than the exact same kind used in _Glengarry Glen Ross._ I don’t know where they got those - did the prop department make them specifically for that movie? Or is there actually some company that makes brass balls that are welded to the ends of a bent metal rod? That was the best movie prop ever. ---

A day of crusen around on your motorcycle is just not complete unless you have a pair of hawg nuts hanging off the back for everyone to see. At the price of oil, I can see them now! A tiny sparkling pair of Moped rooster nuts! ---
