"Penguins is practically chickens."

#45: Ta Tas

Save-worthy .....

But we know that.

Now ... who can tell me about the correlation between the active red light, the "Escape", the "XLT", the bumper sticker and the fact the vehicle is grey?

Give it a go.

Water. It looks innocent enough pooling there.

#33: Dirty, Horny Truck

I snapped these photos quickly on the way to work yesterday morning.

Once downloaded and as I scrutinized them more thoroughly, I noticed more and more interesting things within them. Things I hadn't noticed when I originally took the pictures. So, instead of just one, I felt the need to post'em all.

Of couse, the bull horns on the hood are a hoot. That goes without saying. It was the first thing - along with the mud - that got me to stop and preserve this truck in digital glory. It's not everyday you see a truck with bull horns on it.

At least not in California, anyway.

But, on further scrutiny:

The back window is immaculately clean considering the overall demeanor of the truck is either a fine sheen of silt or varying degrees of chunks and cakey muddiness.

I took it on trust that at least one of the photos I snapped would reveal readability where the bumper stickers were concerned. They're just legible on that back window, but barely. I'll give a bit of assistance; the left one (and it's upside down) states: "If you can read this roll me over". The right claims: "Hell was full so I came back". Charming, to the last.

But, the most interesting thing I saw about the photos was the license plates on the front and back of the truck. Matter'n fact, I had to do a double take to make certain I wasn't missing anything. Looks like someone was a tad off kilter at the Folsom Prison Government License Plate Consortium the day these babies were cranked out. Can you see of what I speak? (Click on the individual photos and they will magically enlarge for your further perusal.)

First to comment wins a prize and recognition within this posting. Good luck.

A lightning-fast congratulations to MR for her keen see-past-the-mud sight and no nonsense answer.

She's right: There's an "N" on the front license plate, an "M" on the back. Go figger.

I hunted down the owner of the truck - a misplaced hunka-hunka burnin' love, ready and waiting for a Valentine's Saturday night. Your prize awaits.

My compliments .....
