Chris provides a timely update to my entry on the encroaching horror of truck nuts:
A foolish politician with nothing better to do has introduced legislation to ban novelty truck testicles. Doran says
Maryland Delegate LeRoy E. Myers Jr. has filed legislation to ban the display of those oh-so-chic Truck Nuts and "anatomically correct" human or animal genitalia from the back of pick-up trucks.
From the WaPo story:
"People are making a joke out of it," Myers said yesterday. "But I think it's a pretty serious problem. You have body parts hanging from the hitches of cars. We've crossed a line."
I guess Myers, now that he's taken such a brave stance against body parts, will be introducing a bill to ban people from strapping deer corpses to their hoods. That oughta fly with the hunting crowd.
The car bra isn’t even in the same category as truck nuts — the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of, and truly a sign, if ever there was one, of Western Civilization’s decline.
My car has a bra. I use it to protect the paint from chipping, and like the look. On an older car that still looks good, this is an issue of real concern.
Frequently I drive from my home in the District of Columbia into Maryland. If Maryland wants my collection of highly partisan bumper stickers, they’ll have quite a job peeling them off from under my cold, dead hands.
Does this mean that someone will soon come to take away the car bra?
And, most seriously, does anyone still strap deer to their hoods? We didn’t do it in the 60s, because we realized engine heat kinda cooked the meat.
