THE HORROR YOU'VE WITNESSED

Actual Truck Nutz Spotted In DC

Biden's at it again.
Wonkette Operative “Matt N.” has truly witnessed horror, in the supposed new socialist caliphate of the District of Communism: Real truck nutz, hanging off a goddamned trailer hitch, as intended by the manufacturer.

He writes: “This is the first time I’ve witnessed the truck nutz phenomena outside of rural Pennsylvania, where every vehicle over 15,000 lbs is required to hang nutz off its rear bumper, by law.”

It’s probably Conrad Burns, plotting his revenge, yet unable to remember how to get to the Capitol.

    Does the driver know that he’s gay?

  2. mamandesfilles says at 4:43 pm, February 16th, 2009

    Weird! Pennsylvania is where I have seen the damn things too!

    I am always amazed at how pissed the driver gets when you try to take a picture of his truck nutz… Like they ended up on his truck accidently and he can’t figure out how to get rid of them…

  3. nmmagayar says at 4:45 pm, February 16th, 2009

    and they appear to be Caucasian TruckNutz as a clear repudiation of the Muslin/Kenyan/Dirty Hawaiian usurper. Also and additionally.

    Change has finally come to America!

    I just went into Downtown Seattle and took pictures of some wingnuts protesting the bailout. I’ll blog about it later. There was all manner of winger mentality present but, alas, not truck nutz.

    Tidewater VA here. If I leave the house at the wrong damned time, I get to ride halfway to work behind a blue truck with brass ones. I’ve seen silver, pink, and red/white/and blue. Never just blue, though. Hmm.

  6. bitchincamaro says at 4:47 pm, February 16th, 2009

    Can’t a guy take his TruckNutz to church without the fucking papparazzi stalking his ass?

  7. WalnutsThePlumber says at 4:48 pm, February 16th, 2009

    i think it’s important to note they are so large, they cast a shadow

  8. Texan Bulldoggette says at 4:48 pm, February 16th, 2009

    That pair looks weirdly elongated….

  9. The Frogurt Is Also Cursed says at 4:49 pm, February 16th, 2009

    I’m still waiting to make my fortune selling Prius Nutz.

    Also, I’m in seattle but employed so no wingnut fail rally for me. I haz a sad.

  10. CivicHoliday says at 4:50 pm, February 16th, 2009

    Truck Nutz are the new naked girl mud flap. It’s what all wanna-be rednecks aspire to. What’s next, you ask? Why, the modern feminist version, sponsored by PUMAPac! Giant labia to hang from the bumper of your VW Bug!

  11. I see that this driver is ignoring the manufacturer’s warning and not using them for static display only-at his own risk!

    NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC

    Bumpernuts are for static display only.

    WHEN USING THE HITCH HANGER, IT IS BEST TO USE A THREADLOCKER ADHESIVE, PEOPLE WILL STEAL YOUR BALLS.

    WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY THEFT. AS STATED OUR HITCH LOCK AND RECIEVER ARE A PREVENTATIVE MEASURE. BUT PLEASE USE SOME GLUE ON THE BOLTS SO THAT SOME JERK CANT COME ALONG AND USE SOME TOOLS AND LEAVE YOU WITH THE HANGER AND THE LOCK. HANG AT YOUR OWN RISK.

  12. CrunchyKnee says at 4:52 pm, February 16th, 2009

    Teh Truck Nutz are a multi-racial thing here in Denver. I’ve seen them on pickups piloted by cowboy hat wearing Mexican American types and pickups piloted by by-God Republican white boy types.

  13. operation limey says at 4:53 pm, February 16th, 2009

    They finally adopted the moar Truck Nutz suggestion from the Rebuild the Wingnut Party website! It is a great day in ‘Merica.

  14. you cannot be serious says at 4:55 pm, February 16th, 2009

    Impressive in size and cleanliness. Also, too.

  15. Gopherit says at 4:58 pm, February 16th, 2009

    Sigh….truck nutz on a toyota tundra. This is what the global economy has wrought.

  16. magic titty says at 5:00 pm, February 16th, 2009

    Is it Mischa Barton’s ex-boyfriend?

  17. twowheeljunkie says at 5:05 pm, February 16th, 2009

    The Frogurt Is Also Cursed: I’ll take one pair.
    And a pair for my motorcycle.

  18. qwerty42 says at 5:09 pm, February 16th, 2009

    operation limey: I think there was a “be more gay” suggestion and this accomplishes that too!!!

  19. President Beeblebrox says at 5:15 pm, February 16th, 2009

    Looks like the truck has a Maryland plate. Therefore, it doesn’t count as true DeeCee trucknutz. Everyone knows that Maryland is more backwards than Pennsylvania, the Land of Many TruckNutz.

  20. davesnothere says at 5:20 pm, February 16th, 2009

    Texan Bulldoggette: Ah, my dear — the sweet naivety of Youth!

  21. Cant be real - they’re hanging off a Tundra. Only latte sipping arugula swilling libtard poseurs drive Tundras.

  22. bitchincamaro says at 5:30 pm, February 16th, 2009

    you cannot be serious: They are fully shaved and therefore PorNutz!

  23. Peanut Inspector says at 5:32 pm, February 16th, 2009

    In Alabama, we don’t see white TruckNutz. Most of the are green, but we also have the Ludwig Von Mises institute as well.

  24. Texan Bulldoggette says at 5:34 pm, February 16th, 2009

    davesnothere: Oh, do THOSE go south too (like a woman’s boobs) with age? Sorry to hear it. Jesus, between that & your dicks that always need adjusting, I don’t know how you guys get anything done!

  25. Texan Bulldoggette: Didn’t the nice ladies over at Confluence warn us that our scrotums (for those of us who have them) would sag?

  26. AnnieGetYourFun says at 5:41 pm, February 16th, 2009

    Kev-O-Tron: You blog now, with your spare timez? Please link me. I want to go to there.

    BTW, did they fucking bus people in from Wenatchee or something?

  27. Jukesgrrl says at 5:41 pm, February 16th, 2009

    Texan Bulldoggette: They don’t get anything done. That’s why God invented PUMAs.

  28. FuzeLine says at 6:01 pm, February 16th, 2009

    I saw a pair on the NYS Thruway today. Blue. Old man driving truck.

    No where is safe.

  29. Goddamn hippies stole the TruckNutz off of my Prius during Folklife in Seattle last year. Unfortunately my unique brand of hipster irony is rather less than unique in SEA.

  30. hockeymom says at 6:12 pm, February 16th, 2009

    OK…I had NO idea that trucknutz actually existed. I thought they were just something that a Wonketteer or editor had made up.
    This is a frightening development.
    There have been no trucknutz sightings in my particularly snooty suburb in the midwest. I will remain vigilant and ready with the camera, to document any sightings.
    The world continues to shock and awe.

  31. Chrome nutz are the rage in LA, dangling off the rear axle.

  32. Texan Bulldoggette: Those nutz have been aged in fine oak for approximately 48 years.

  33. GlennBecksFelch says at 6:33 pm, February 16th, 2009

    you should see the pair they put on the USS George H. W. Bush

  34. bitchincamaro says at 6:44 pm, February 16th, 2009

    FuzeLine: Wait, you saw blue TruckNutz on the thruway and didn’t pull the farmer over and relieve him? You must live in the 212.

  36. Mitchbailey says at 8:27 pm, February 16th, 2009

    In in the area of Pennsylvania where I’ve been they’re particularly fond of the blue-veined model…

  37. Monsieur Grumpe says at 10:20 pm, February 16th, 2009

    Is that where they’re supposed go? I’ve been stuffing them down my pants. Boy, am I embarrassed.

  38. mylesfromnowhere says at 11:14 pm, February 16th, 2009

    To see the entire collection of TruckNutz, just go to Nashville and drive through the parking lot of the Tennessee Legislature. Wingnutz and TruckNutz. American as…trucknutz.

  39. Catholics4Condoms says at 11:43 pm, February 16th, 2009

    I live in California, the Bay Area. Last month I saw a big ol’ pickup with “lord’s Gym” and “pray hard” type christian stickers, and hanging from the hitch … truck nutz! I’m searching my bible for where it says, “Blessed are the Large Testicles for they knoweth how to pleaseth the … uh.. ladies, yeah”

  40. sanantonerose says at 1:27 am, February 17th, 2009

    CivicHoliday: No no no. Small clits that attach to your antenna.

  41. Catholics4Condoms: I’m in the bay area too, recently moved from Sacramento. The Lord’s Gym is actually a place in Roseville (Sacto suburb) and I would not be surprised at ALL if there’s lots of nutz out that way!!

    My dad was thinking of getting a pair for his big truck and hanging them ironically, but people would probably not realize his actual intention there.

  42. Lazy Media says at 5:56 am, February 17th, 2009

    Truck Nutz are the Baby on Board sign of the 21st Century.

  43. Dooooooooooo yourrrrrrrrrrrr
    Nutz hang low!
    Do they wobble to and fro!
    Can ya tie ‘em inna knot!
    Can ya tie ‘em inna bow!
    Can ya throw them over your shoulder
    Like a Continental soldier
    Do your NUTZ! HANG! LOWWWWWWWW!

  44. Captain Swing says at 6:38 am, February 17th, 2009

    hockeymom: Being from Australia, I also believed that Truck Nutz existed only in the parallel universe of Wonkette Girl. Now, like you, my eyes have been opened and I have seen the er… Nutz.

    No sightings to report from Down Under, yet. Not surprising I suppose, given that I spend most of my time in the genteel city of Melbourne and surrounds. I’m sure if I ventured into the Outback, where folks rassle crocodiles for fun and such like, I’d see Truck Nutz everywhere.

    On second thoughts, I think I’ll stick to my prissy urban environment. I will keep an eye out though, and report any sightings.

  45. Doglessliberal says at 9:02 am, February 17th, 2009

    CrunchyKnee: Truck Nutz: Symbol of a Post-Racial America!

  46. FuzeLine says at 9:10 am, February 17th, 2009

    bitchincamaro: Painfully elite clearly. So the blue trucknutz were a signal? Is this the handkerchief code for hicks?

  47. cleatocracy says at 9:34 am, February 17th, 2009

    I’ve laid mine own eyes upon them coast-to-coast….. That said there are certain “truck nutz hotspots” in our land such as the central valley of California or rural Wisconsin. I’m happy to see that they’ve made it to full representation in the capitol city, I think they deserve a congressperson…….

  48. Precious.

  49. Thegreatbacon says at 12:31 pm, February 17th, 2009

    I can’t help but think of someone getting run over by the truck, and as the truck clears over them, they think, “I’m going to make it, the truck is going to drive right over me.” And then the trucknutz slam into him, preferably in the balls. If any of you are writing a Lethal Weaponesque screenplay, consider adding this clever bit of slapstick action.

  50. bessiemae says at 2:27 pm, February 17th, 2009

    Wow, I have also only spotted these Nutz in Hampton Roads/Tidewater, VA. And I’ve lived in some of the most down south rednecky places imaginable. But, none that inspire Truck Nutz sportin’ like Hampton Roads.
