yep I caugt a little blurb on the news a few weeks ago and the truck nutz photoshops made me think about it and I looked it up and there it is :beer I just wondered if it was voted on :lol

I also turned this up :lol

I am pleased to note that a local documentary video producer will be interviewing me later this afternoon at my home regarding Delegate LeRoy Myers' House Bill 1163, which reads in pertinent part:

A PERSON MAY NOT DISPLAY ON A MOTOR VEHICLE ANY MODEL, SIGN, STICKER, OR OTHER ITEM THAT DEPICTS OR RESEMBLES ANATOMICALLY CORRECT, LESS THAN COMPLETELY AND OPAQUELY COVERED, HUMAN OR ANIMAL GENITALS, HUMAN BUTTOCKS, OR HUMAN FEMALE BREASTS.

The producer (whom I won't name now but will later) Aldo Bello of Virginia found comments I had made on this bill on Feministing.com, reprinted as follows:

I think it turns on the issue of "anatomically correct." As a practicing attorney in Maryland, I hope this law passes, because I might - just might - get a chance to defend such a charge.

The cross-examination prospects are mind-boggling.

"Officer Jackson, do you believe that these nuts are 'anatomically correct'?"

"Well, then, ma'am, if I may, on the basis [of] what personal TKE (training, knowledge and experience) can you substantiate these balls as 'anatomically correct'?"

"Have you been formally trained in your work with the State Police in testicular analysis? Do you have your nutsack analyst certificate with you presently and is your certificate still valid as of this date?"

"How many pairs of nuts have you examined in the course of your career?"

"Do you have professional experience in ballsack appraisal from prior employment?"

"At the time of the citation, was the set of ballsack calipers that you used to measure the subject nutbag calibrated for accuracy both before and measuring the nuts?"

While as a freedom-minded individual I would oppose these laws, as a defense attorney this could be my ride to professional prominence. "Protect your nuts from the police and call Godfrey...."

Leaving aside the humor value of this topic, there are some serious legal concerns. If tastelessness were a crime, every T-Shirt shop on the Boardwalk in Ocean City would have to shut down. While I could probably support a content neutral ban on objects hanging off of a trailer hitch for safety reasons, this ban is not aimed at the hitch. Any portrayal of the "less than opaquely and completely covered" female breast, including possibly the infamous shapely silhouette mud flaps on probably 100,000 trucks nationwide, would result in a traffic stop. Will a special edition of those silhouette flaps be made with yellow polka-dot bikinis - the "Maryland edition" opaquely and completely covering what John Law requires to be covered - be made?

Consider the effect on interstate commerce and public safety. Delegate Myers' own District 1C covers most of western Washington County and a small slice of Allegany County, including Hancock. Do you know Hancock? Hancock is the narrowest "isthmus" of land wedged between two other states. Pennsylvania and West Virginia are about 2 miles apart. At one point, a "three-state race" was a regular athletic event across the Potomac River and over the Pennsylvania line. In Hancock there are a few gas stations, and that's it. I-68 and I-70 meet there, as does a state road leading down immediately into Virginia. So "Truck Nutz" owners

Isn't that the "Live free or die" state?

When politicians can pass idiotic laws like this, I don't see how we are "free".

:beer

"At the time of the citation, was the set of ballsack calipers that you used to measure the subject nutbag calibrated for accuracy both before and measuring the nuts?"

I dont know about the live free part.

But the struggla's here sure are enforcing the DIE part.

Heres the 411 from msnbc:

OXON HILL, Md. - Prince George's County police are investigating their 10th homicide in as many days. The latest one happened Monday night in the 800 block of Marcy Avenue in Oxon Hill, Md. Police said a man was found shot. He was taken to an area hospital where he died. This is the 38th homicide in the county this year, 13 more than this time last year.

      Removable rigid window tint sheets - WTF?

      I created an account just to respond here. I'm not a "tinter" or whatever yall may call yourselves but I came across this product and thought that it looked pretty cool and something I could do myself. I ordered from Lazeway and spent like $150 for two packages. The product is from China although they claim all this America stuff on the website. All i received was two simple rolls of tint, nothing special. I was totally scammed and now I'm looking all over the internet for anyone talking about this product to let them know. Dont buy from them.

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Since there is no limit of darkness on the top strip, I have wanted to tint it. But I would go very dark, to help with sun glare in the evening.

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Yeah that’s a very fair point to a degree I’m probably overthinking it. I don’t see really significant glare reduction until you get into much darker tint. Like you I think visibility for me is more important living in the country. I’ll probably see what the specs list the differences between 70% and 80% and then double check with the tinter as to what they recommend. Likely will end up with 70% with a strip along the top. Air80 seems to be much more popular, not sure if it’s due to performance or the difference in cost being so much more for the stratos. thank you

      Process

      Hey guys - so I work for a vinyl graphics company that is adding window tinting to their repertoire and I had a question about your guys' ideal process. I have my plotter set up and my window tinting software ready to go, but I am completely ignorant about the way that tint installers prefer that things be cut. Currently, I will plot/weed the tint and cut the backing away as much as I dare before handing it over to the installer. I was thinking that the installer would prefer the tint to be cut to shape which I believe I can achieve with the perf cut on my plotter. Is that the typical process or should I not be worried so much about it being cut to exact shape?

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Im in TX, plenty of of what you mentioned. While I do sit higher in an SUV, glare reduction is not improved much at all with what I have. My 80% is almost clear, not dark at all. With all tint, it adds a bit of reflectivity from the outside, which I notice makes it slightly harder to see from the outside looking in, in the form of a glare not darkness. At the end of the day, it's not permanent, it's only money!

      Boat window tinting tips

      The answer is to not heat that area too much so that you leave some slack in the film for when you get it to the inside. Also cut your pattern a little large so that you can trim a thread off the edges after shrinking to not have a furled edge. After you do a few of those you'll figure out how much to leave/trim to not have any light gaps. Also I'll leave a hardcard wrapped in a microfiber in the bottom overnight to collect water and keep pressure on the film while it dries. Sometimes you can take the top rail off the glass if the jackwagon boat builder didn't put too much pressure on the glass package when it was installed. If you pull the rail off of a tight package it's a pita to get back on, looking like it could crack the whole time. Congrats on getting it done. I've seen plenty that couldn't, which is why I price them like I do.

      Boat window tinting tips

      Thx everyone for the tips the install went fine, however i did run into a new problem on the main curve of the glass from thr outside the tint would lay flat on the big curve but when applying it seemed like there was too much tension and it would not stay down i ended up heating it up and flattening down but some of that area got overheated and warped a little, if you know how to tackle this problem please help me thank you!
