If you ever find yourself in the United terminal at O'Hare, you can be greeted by this tacky dinosaur skeleton!......Jake (on his way to DC)

My first visit through OHare in about 30 years last week going to and from DC, and saw that. I didnt know it was a statue, I thought it was still waiting on a long delayed United flight.

I spotted this piece of work at the Wal Mart parking lot thirty minutes ago. I didn't have my camera, but couldn't let this one escape, so I shined my headlights on it and took the picture with my IPhone. Attachments:

As a New Yorker I'd think those horns were a symbol of Texas pride and less tacky. I have a tacky car picture but it's focus is on those giant trunk spoilers that hang off of worn-out 90 horsepower Japanese cars.

When he honks, it probably goes "Moo".

If the horns were on a '56 Cadillac Convertible that looked like it just rolled off the showroom floor, it would be cool. On a ragged out Lincoln that looks like a Cash for Clunkers escapee, it won't fly.
BTW, one of my neighbors in Austin drives about a 1952 black Caddy that is original except for a lift kit. I will have to photo it.

It would be funnier if those horns were on a Yugo.

Used to be a bitch when they changed the styling every year... nothing worse than having a set of horns that are 4 years out of date.

He should put the horns on his tires and use them as curb feelers.

I feel it best that the use of these hood ornaments by gay neighbors NOT be brought into this conversation

You mean something like, "They got rear-ended and they weren't even in a car"?

I find the irony in this fantastic. One day after Tex posts a photo of a hood ornament, I find this "hitch" ornament at our local supermarket. Never seen it before, I pray to never see it again...

That one simple item easily beats my plastic garden. I've actually seen those on 2 different vehicles here and I'd say *I* was embarrassed for the driver!

I've seen those balls on trucks before - that's a solid contest entry.

The vergina hitch ornament is more tasteful but suited more towards feminine cars like mini-vans and VW's.

Bob, obviously he didnt have the balls to go the distance... maybe if he had a pair for his truck, he would have managed to get them outlawed.

I found a nugget and got a photo. We were on Sixth Street in Austin yesterday and spotted a guy with a shirt made of aluminum foil and duct tape. You can't make this shot up. Photo next week.

Just remember to poke it with a long fork to test if its done on the inside.

I bet it would, but I'm not about to rip the duct tape off the mouth of the Girl Scout in my cellar just to test that theory. She may start screaming again.
