Yes, that's the vid where I paused and did a screen grab. It was weird when I was going through frame be frame to get that pic, you can see something very big and dark moving around in front of the windshield then the flash and the crack in the glass.

Maybe worth a "WTH?" taken out of context. The Continuing Saga Of Mr. Nibbles was a thread on another forum about my battle to kill a rat that had gotten into my Jeep JK. In an avenging twist, the little SOB decided that rather than die outside of the Jeep, he would haunt my olfactory senses and choose his final resting place deep within the hidden catacombs of the Jeep's sheet-metal. The thread became a detailed account of my quest to exhume his remains. Stumbled upon some of the images the other day and figured they were worth posting here.

First two images are not actual photographs, but rather some crudely drawn images of what I imagined was going on inside the Jeep where I was unable to see. Someone had suggested that Mr. Nibbles likely got tripped up over his massive rat-balls so I entertained the assumption in my renderings...



Someone on the forum had also suggested that a contributing factor of Mr. Nibbles getting stuck was more likely that he was wearing shoes that were likely too large...



The subsequent memorial service...




And one more unrelated but equally "WTH?" inspired post below. Saw this a while back and was intrigued as to what exactly people are thinking when they do these kinds of things... Is this a tribute to the truck... on the actual truck!? I just don't get it.

Haven't seen that in forever, back in the 80's and 90's, certain communities had airbrushed pictures of their truck, in some setting, on the back of their truck. Never understood it, guess it came back for the modern photoshop and wrap age.

Funniest one ever was a guy had his truck painted getting pulled over by the cops, I am sure that didn't encourage any extra law enforcement attention.

And do you also remember the western skyline themes on the back window of pickup truck cabs? Often you'd see a howling wolf or something like that.

My GF's brother has a huge confederate flag and his horse custom airbrushed on his tailgate. Real popular in today's politically correct NC....

I remember the "hippie" vans from the late 70's / early 80's that always had some sort of open plains/ desert airbrush scene painted on the sides of the vans, at least the ones around Baltimore were like that.

I was on St. Thomas for this hurricane:

It was the only opportunity I had to visit my dad during his retirement before he got sick.

Massively sucked...

The " Kevin the c u n t " vid led to this little nugget. Funny, but I think it belongs here.

I think we have moved on from this but I had to comment.
My dad had that on all 3 windows of the bed cap of his 79 ford. Sort of a Brown desert mountain scene.
It will be recreated in 1:10 scale VERY soon

For Takata's sake, I hope it wasn't them, but at this point I wouldn't be shocked......
