Boy the repeat news stories abound this week.\u00c2\u00a0 First Weekend at Bernie’s<\/a>, and now rubber truck nuts have once again managed to dangle themselves into view.\u00c2\u00a0 For those of you just tuning in, we talked about Virginian rubber truck nuts<\/a> (which basically are exactly what they sound like) and the moronic attempts of lawmakers to actually try to LEGISLATE other morons from putting these things on their trucks.<\/p>\n

Anyway, it seems that this sickness has spread past Virginia, in fact it has sort of slumped southward and ended up hanging in (under?) penis-shaped Florida this time.\u00c2\u00a0 Once again lawmakers are spending public money<\/a> on this issue, it’s that important.\u00c2\u00a0 There must be a huge outbreak of rubber truck nuts there for them to leap into action, and in Florida it’s quite hot and steamy, so you know, maybe those rubber truck nuts are sagging a little lower than in Virginia. I can certainly see why they needed to act.\u00c2\u00a0 With the summer coming, it’s conceivable that that’s when the rubber nuts hit the road, and then you would have, ah, nut abrasion, which nobody wants.\u00c2\u00a0 Nobody.\u00c2\u00a0 Anyway, it seems that the law may not pass, unfortunately.\u00c2\u00a0 I think they should push for the only reasonable compromise: truck undies.\u00c2\u00a0 Yep, those rubber buddies need some support, son.\u00c2\u00a0 Strap them in to keep them safe from rocks and nut abrasion (I have a hard time just typing that).\u00c2\u00a0 Won’t someone think of the fake testicles? It’s a business model just crying out for a product.<\/p>\n

Recalling our last talk<\/a> on this matter, I decided that Rubber Truck Nut Lover was the best band name in the history of everything, and I still think so. If I ever start a band, it will most definitely be called that.\u00c2\u00a0 Mom will be so proud.<\/p>\n

Here are some additional resources on this critical matter.<\/p>\n
