    No I actually have the recipe for grandure. Its an old family recipe from the old country. My great grandfather snuck it out of Eastern Europe during the war. As to me being from TX. No, I fortunate to be from WI. I;ve visted TX a few times. I think Hooker stated, its "balls ugly". I wont disagree.

    That's awesome, but I feel obligated to point out that your great-grandfather misspelled grandeur when he transcribed the recipe.

    There was a war going on so I think he might have been in a hurry. Its might also be a European translation problem. Not really sure. Anyway, I found this.

    From the bull balls web site


    They are plastic testicles attached to the bumper with a chain or wire...

    If you've traveled anywhere in the Southern United States you've undoubtedly seen these plastic testes swinging from the bumper of the odd Dodge Ram, Hummer H2 and Chevy Tahoe... Basically any vehicle that screams "I have a tiny penis." But alas, your balls are huge...

    I guess that clears up the question if this is a northern thing or a southern thing. Hahahahahahahahahaha.

    I think that makes the score WI 357,457,231,697 The deep south, zero

    I have never seen these on a vehicle here in WI and I'm sure I never will.

    You're still giving the south too much credit.

    Don't give up so easily Dan. Raise your seat up or use a booster seat and you'll be able to see over the dash. Then you'll be able to see the lower half of the vehicles in front of you. :cool:

    Dude, my 5 year old could come up with a better comeback than that. You should be ashamed that something so horribly lame came out of your mouth. :bash::whip:

    My wife has done some outreach work through our church. They go to under developed, non-english speaking locals where the people live in squalor and filth and lack things like proper schools. She likes helping the less fortunate.

    On her last church group mission trip to one of these sorrowful places (I think she said she was in Mississippi, Alabama or Louisiana) she came back shocked by these truck nutz on so many of the vehicles the locals had up on blocks in their yards.

    Well of course she was shocked. She didn't know what they were supposed to be. She'd never seen anything like them. Anywhere.... ever......

    Amen to that brotha!!!! She was raised on a farm but was shocked that these under developed people thought they belonged on a rusty old truck up on blocks and serving as a dog house. I told her when she travels to these poor places, she is going to see all sorts of things normal people wont do.

    That seems like a very odd question and for the life of me I cant imagine the reason for your interest in my choice of trousers

    I think it's really a generational thing. Kids driving these trucks or old guys?

    My generation would never think of teabagging some dude because he fell asleep with his mouth open.

I also see good old fashioned rednecks driving around with cowballs striped like the American Flag.....it is driving me NUTS, no pun intended.

    I agree, kids today are just goofy. The 20’s and early 30 year olds are a strange lot.
