    In the movie "Silence of the Lambs", the pervert character who uttered that line actually lived in Illinois. Last I heard, Illinois was in the mid-west, not the south.

    You do know that was a fictional story by Thomas Harris and not real?

    Do you know what the real life infamous American serial killers Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy and Jeffery Dahmer have in common? They are NOT Southerners. Want to take a guess where Dahmer was from?

    Well of course I do, but you were the one that brought the story into the conversation using that line as a reference to the south. :D

    Now it would have made more sense if you'd said something like "Paddle faster - I hear banjos". :lol:

    But none of them had brass ones hanging from their tow hitch. IT IS a southern thingy. BUt occasionally a trailer trash from the north might think he's from the South. LOL

    Nope! Wrong again. (you do that a lot)

    My use of that quote was not a reference to the south. It was in fact a reference to hooker wanting to know what I wear and other general stalking he was engaged in. He went on to state that he was keeping a journal of info about me. In light of his disturbing line of questions I replied”

    “Sure, whatever you like. Make sure to pin it up on the picture board shrine you are building to me. Dress up the RC doll in whatever manner brings you the most satisfaction. Southerners are just weird.

    It rubs the lotion on its skin or it will get the hose again.”


    So, as you can see, mine was a witty and cleverly employed quote from a movie in which I juxtaposed the creepy Buffalo Bill characters traits and subtext Vis-à-vis our own Hooker and not to those of any geographical region of the US.

    They've been spotted in Pennsylvania. Personally, I think its quite disturbing and never had an urge to add them to my truck.

    Maybe they've got that part in the front of their trucks.

    I don't know know, but I hope this southern mens obsession with male body parts ends soon.

    Does anyone else have the fear that these are going to fall off, bounce off the road and right into your windsheild. This could lead to the possibilty of accidental teabagging.

    In all honesty, I was falling a guy south of Chicago the other day who had a pair of 3" O.D. nuts welded to a chain. Said chain was welded to trailer hitch. I was just waiting for those to fall off and come through my radiator.
