Family Values?
I was driving to work this morning and wound up behind a pick up truck with a pair of those "truck testicles" hanging from the trailer hitch. Now, normally, I merely shrug at such displays and think "whatever, dude", but in this case, two things stood out. One, this particular set of automotive genitalia were colored a vibrant, eye-catching shade of blue. Two, the vehicle in question eventually turned into an *elemetary school parking lot*! I have to wonder exactly what message this "gentleman" was trying to convey and, perhaps more indicative of our society's screwed up "family values", why nobody seemed to have an issue with their innocent little darlin's being exposed to it. These are probably some of the same conservative "family values" voters who throw hissy fits about gay marriage or flashes of naked boobies on public television. But apparently, simulated scrotums hanging out in public school parking lots are just fine and dandy. Go figure.

Got a word that fits in real dandy here.

...........One reason I stopped going to church a loooong time ago.
(side note--they were *blue*? I find that funny.)
Kait
Yeah - blue balls. Ha!
The first time I saw a set of those (not blue), I really couldn't figure out what they were. I stared and stared, and finally asked my honey-bunny later that day. I was shocked when he told me what they were! Forget about those innocent toddlers - what about me?!
Don't worry, according to an article someone sent me, the Florida legislature is leading the charge against these testicular abominations. Most of the senators feel that they equate to public obscenity. However, the most vocal opponent of the measure to ban them actually had a pair on his pick up... until his wife made him take them off. lol
HAH! Those things are hilarious - obscene and probably not good for an elementary school parking lot, but I laugh whenever I see them.
It's disconcerting to see it while driving one's mother around, though.
