Nut Pride

posted by on November 14 at 16:20 PM

Hey!

Is that “Power of Pride” sticker on your Hummer just not quite aggressive enough for you? Do you get the nagging feeling that someone else has thought of a much more obnoxious way to publicly display their assholery?

You’re right.

Meet Bumper Nuts.

Available in blue (ha!), black, camo, red, yellow, flesh, white, brass (HA!), and aluminum, they have an awesome lifetime finish and are DROP FORGED IN THE USA! FUCK YEAH!

A friend in suburban Boston reports that these are all the rage among the soccer mom set. This makes me very confused.

Also confusing — this photo of a car with red Bumper Nuts, apparently driving into an icy lake. Brrrrr.

i saw a "set" of these the other day. not only is it a really realistic looking "sack", but they're hinged so they "swing"

These are so totally old.

But everytime I see these they crack me up.

What happens when I kick them?

I've also always loved how one nut hangs lower than the other.

Nick: They're made from metal so that might hurt...

Brass, hah!

Now I have the perfect Christmas gift for my friends in real-estate sales!

Quite telling that the "flesh" is pink, and there's no brown ones at all. Non-white people aren't nearly clever enough to hang a fake ballsack from their truck bumper.

That blue car appears to be in the middle of being towed out of that icy lake.

Just get some paint in your favorite color fnarf. I like beige myself.

On Hummers they always looked a little small to me, in proportion to the vehicle size I mean.

I think we have seen in the first two frames Cheney's and Rummy's --- where are George B's?

I am getting a pair, just the right pair, for under the office clock -- urbanites are adaptive.

By the way -- this is way gay - but not fab five at all.

Not to burst your bubble, but I've seen brown ones (maybe not by the company mentioned) hanging from bumpers in the wilderness north and east of Seattle.

I wonder if the soccer mom's who love these are the same ones who don't want their kids to play tag or have sex education?

Yes, but what about fake nuts for your cell phone?
