It's Time for an International Conversation About Trucks

After the Orlando Islamic terror attack, Obama insisted that the problem wasn't Islam. It was guns.

Just like the trouble in Boston was pressure cookers, not Muslim terrorists. And in Dallas, the issue was guns, not Black Lives Matter.

Let's get AG on this right away to begin addressing why all these vehicles are killing people.

Assault vehicles should be taken off the road.

No one needs more than four cylinders.

Those wimpy French trucks are pipsqueaks compared to what we have here:

And while they're getting all worked up about trucks, they won't even notice me and my assault Studebaker!

I remember when cars like that were -new-!

Think of the damage this thing could do.  There is a mooslim inside, after all.

Yeah, but do you think they'd let him drive?

One never lets the passengers drive the short bus.

It's kind of funny. I'm nearing the half century mark, and most people my age and younger have no idea what the heck it is.
And then there's folks my Mom's age who don't remember what the heck it is.

But they knew somebody who had one!

I have driven a Studebaker (Hawk). One of the few...

If trucks are outlawed, only outlaws will have trucks!



Oops! Today this would be considered an outlaw truck (can't have them crawling decent neighbourhoods
with all those dangerous sweets, can we?)

[uglybiker]

HA! You can pretty a truck up as much as you want!
But everybody knows that underneath the fancy paint there lurks.......

Obviously, those aren't from troubled neighborhoods. There's no top turret, and no tail gunner's position, for starters.

Never underestimate the power of stealth weaponry such as yummy chocolate cakes and the like! Why else
would the nanny state be waging war on snacks and goodies all these years? Didn't you get the memo?
One crumb cake can kill more than a hundred turrets and tail gunners. Mama Michelle said so!

(I grew up with Dugan's coming 'round in New York city and state, believe me when I tell you it was a day
of mourning when they died.)

I have a friend who moved out here from PA, and he goes through Tastycake jones' every now and then.
I was a really lucky kid who had a mom, grandmother, a great aunt and two aunts who ALL baked from scratch, and did so often, all within a mile radius in a rural area, quick bike ride, fifteen minutes on foot (picking berries on the way), or about ten minutes of rowing if the tide was right.
Fools we kids were, we took that for granted at the time.

If they were from troubled neighborhoods, they'd be jacked up with big, stupid salad-shooter rims.

These days trucks carrying sweet stuff are considered to be from more troubled areas than those
with the salad shooters. ;)
