Welcome to Armpit, Indiana

Apr 21, 2009 19:50

So I'm driving today, on my way to Grandma's after having been through the drive-thru at the local 'freen-ferye' store (toddler-speak for McDonald's), when lo and behold I see this plastered on the back window of the Jeep Grand Cherokee in front of me:

IF YOUR RIDIN MY ASS
YOU BETTER BE
PULLING MY HAIR

May we stop and analyze this for a short moment? ( Read more... )

LOL - I'm originally from Missouri. Trust me - it's not limited to the Hoosier State.

I spent most of my time growing up in Pennsylvania, lived in California for about 9 years and have been in Virginia for a while now. It's not Indiana.

To paraphrase Jeff Foxworthy, redneck's aren't just in the south, you find them all over.

I do now what you mean, though. If you had seen it on the back of an old beat up used car, you probably wouldn't have thought twice about it.

I am a fellow Hoosier, but I have never has the ghastly experience of seeing this plastered on the back end of a SUV.

gbtso April 22 2009, 13:16:07 UTC

Really, Swanny?

What parts of Indiana do you live in? You don't have to give me a city, just a whereabouts... *snickers* See? I have Hoosier in me, too!

I'm living in Evansville for school, but I'm technically from Indy. Lol. Whereabouts is very Hoosier, I was trying to think of a way to let mine shine, but I just couldn't think of a way to say yeller. *smile

LOL. Oh, I believe it. I am originally from Illinois and now live in Missouri. I think it is hilarious that you called it "armpit" because that is what my friends call our town in Missouri...the armpit of America...but I guess it would be logically that there are two armpits out there. :)

Mon -

Does it irk you as much as is irks me when people call it "Missourah"?

mon_potter April 22 2009, 03:19:35 UTC

oh yes...for sure! just as much as when people actually pronounce the s in illinois. i always hiss at them..."the s is silent."

Re: mhersheybar April 22 2009, 04:02:29 UTC

LOL - I've lived there too. Actually, I'm stalking you. ;)

Hahahahaha.

*snort*

Ahem. Sorry. (But not really. I really wish I had been in the car with you when you saw this, though. I'd have loved to have seen your expression.)

gbtso April 22 2009, 13:20:31 UTC

Oh, believe me. This was burned behind my eyelids for eight hours before I could get home to post it!

The only thing that could possibly be worse is when men with very-large trucks have the naked silhouettes of women on their mudflaps or a scrotum hanging from their trailer hitch. It doubles my annoyance if the said scrotum is actually flesh colored and "lifelike."

winchley April 22 2009, 17:50:47 UTC

A scrotum? really? How could anyone possibly find that an appealing ornament to hang on their truck? and wouldn't a man find it... painful to watch that thing tied to a hitch and swinging back and forth in the wind? or is it some type of testosterone laden warning to car thieves?

Technically, I should have used the correct terminology. They're called Bumper Nuts. Isn't that classy?

If you'd like to buy some, you can go here:

Here are some of my favorites:

Big Brassy Balls

the dreaded Blue Balls
http://www.bumpernuts.com/blue%20balls.htm

For the avid outdoorsman, Camo Balls
http://www.bumpernuts.com/OD%20GREEN.htm

And their most popular product, regular old nuts
http://www.bumpernuts.com/flesh%20nuts.htm

No, I'm not kidding. People hang these from their vehicles. To me, it just screams, "I HAVE NO PENIS!"
