Military Hummers
The Hummer - M998, M1038, M1035 versions, are rugged and versatile vehicles. It's the ultimate 4WD machine.


And I think you'll like this website. It's called fuck you and your H2.
http://www.fuh2.com/
Welcome to FUH2.com, home of the official Hummer H2 salute. So...why all the fuss? Well, it breaks down like this:

The H2 is the ultimate poseur vehicle. It has the chassis of a Chevy Tahoe and a body that looks like the original Hummer; i.e. it's a Chevy Tahoe in disguise.


The H2 is a gas guzzler. Because it has a gross vehicle weight rating over 8500 lbs, the US government does not require it to meet federal fuel efficiency regulations. Hummer isn't even required to publish its fuel economy (owners indicate that they get around 10 mpg for normal use). So while our brothers and sisters are off in the Middle East risking their lives to secure America's fossil fuel future, H2 drivers are pissing away our "spoils of victory" during each trip to the grocery store.

The H2 is a polluter. Based on G.M.'s optimistic claim that it gets13 mpg, an H2 will produce 3.4 metric tons of carbon emissions in a typical year, nearly double that of G.M.'s Chevrolet Malibu sedan.


The H2 is a death machine. You'd better hope that you don't collide with an H2 in your economy car. You can kiss your ass goodbye thanks to the H2's massive weight and raised bumpers. Too bad you couldn't afford an urban assault vehicle of your own. Or could you...?


The H2 is a tax loophole. Under Bush's new tax plan, business owners can deduct the entire cost of their $55,000 H2. If you are in the highest tax bracket, that's a tax savings of nearly $20,000! The government rewards you more savings for buying an H2 than you'd get for buying an electric car.
So, if you see it our way, tell a Hummer owner what you think and show 'em the bird. If you do, send us a picture--we'd love to post it on our site.

After a little internet research, I think I have solved the "mystery". This singer (Josh Groban -- I think I'm on pretty safe ground concluding that he's an MOT, or at least that his father is) is a wunderkind a la Charlotte Church (although he's not quite that young.) He apparently made an appearance on Ally McBeal as a shy and retiring teenager with an amazing voice.

So this song that I heard on the Top 40 show is not technically wingnut music, although certainly the born-agains have interpreted it as such (and it does sound suspiciously like one of those songs on those commercials for wingnut music where the zombified audience is waving its collective hands in the air). It is more like he's just got a beautiful voice and an angelic face. He's not really classified as classical, pop or "easy listening" but apparently isn't ready (or, rather, his voice isn't ready) for opera performances.

His voice really is beautiful, which I didn't notice on the radio, as I was so distracted by trying to figure out whether a Jesus song was actually that mainstream.

I'm sure you were all on pins and needles waiting for resolution of that heady question.

It sounds to me like he is a wingnut singer and you have now been pulled into his cult. I will avoid hearing his stuff at all costs if someone as seemingly normal as dbt can be pulled in that easily.

I'd rather they just make the real Hummers, which are prohibitively expensive and consequently rare. The H2, which is affordable, has now become the suburban war wagon of dickless accountants everywhere. I have yet to see a male over 5'7 get out of an H2.

I have no problems with Minis. They're like those new Beetles. They make the statement "I'm an utter idiot" in advance. If I'm waiting to meet someone and they pull up in one of those $20k plus golf carts, I need not waste time on conversation. If you're driving a mini, I've got a bag of tech stocks to sell you. Really hot internet hosting shit.

Aloha. I always get them mixed up. I've even commented on it before, I think.

I will take that Menopausal Memory Boost stuff though, especially if it is hot. It's kind of cold in here -- they must have cranked up the A/C in anticipation of summer.

So funny you should say this, two of my male trust fund friends who went out and bought them are both wishing they were 5'8"

Only because I love her name...Prostitute suing Vince Neil
‘TrixXie Blue’ says Motley Crue frontman assaulted her.

LAS VEGAS - A former Moonlite BunnyRanch prostitute who accused Vince Neil of assaulting her is suing the former Motley Crue frontman, the brothel and its owner.
Andrea “TrixXxie Blue” Terry claims in her lawsuit that Neil grabbed her by the neck, pushed her against a window, and pulled her to the floor after she and another prostitute refused to have sex with him until he paid $4,000 for each woman.

Neil was at the brothel in the tiny community of Mound House at Hof’s request. He was signing autographs a day after he performed with Poison during a concert in Reno.

Hof said Terry should have known Neil would not have to pay for her services.

“We don’t charge celebrities, we pay the girls ourselves,” Hof said.

Ah yes, the advantages of celebrity.http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4780373/

Funny that you should say that, because when Dick Clark (at least I think it was Dick Clark) was introducing the song he said "yadda yadda Josh Grobin and his followers" and it struck me as odd that he didn't say "fans" or similar. That was before the song. After the song, it was all frighteningly clear to me. And then there was a black helicopter hovering outside my window this morning! Did that happen to anyone else?

Why are you unprovokedly dissing on Chef like that? Jealous much?!?

That rhythmic noise you hear is the jackbooted thugs coming for you.

ET correct subject/verb agreement so she doesn't send the jackbooted thugs after me.

Or rabid squirrels.

Perhaps limiting to the carnivorous squirrel(s) would be ok.

Your theory seems fine other than it is a slippery slope before you have to add Suburbans, Escalades, etc. Pretty soon we are down to the really cute and practical little Japanese band gear hauling utility vehicles. Next thing you know your friends are walking home from the bars...

So outside the office today is a bright yellow Hummer with a rainbow sticker in the back window. Is this the new lesbian vehicle of choice?

We don't really like hummers. It probably belongs to a gay man.


I saw some asshole driving a hummer this weekend. He was driving very slow and flashing the peace sign at people. The bastard made me miss my fucking light. I wanted to take his peace sign and shove it up his ass.

Its demise predates Bravo by a number of years so we can't attribute it to that. I have noticed that more and more straight people are hanging out at my regular haunt. I'm concerned that the owners (who are straight) will officially designate the bar as straight.

Straight or gay who cares. I am however tired of the occasional straight man who decides the appropriate way to behave in a gay bar is to pull down his pants and rub his ass against a drag queen. WTF?!
