with a little concentration this COULD look like a halved apple - viewed upside down.. you can see the apple seeds there in the lower center portion and the indentation at the (*ahem*) base looks like the stem. otherwise, nasty!

Hahaha oh man. Brilliant. Just make sure to hide it before the parents come to visit.

what, parents need no genital cupping? i think this is brilliant and potentially comfy for the right sitter.....

i'm disturbed by this.

Amazing! Love the heart shaped carving in the middle. Cute and romantic....

UUmm....yeah....

It would be humorous to watch someone wriggle to try get the pieces to line up. Something tells me this was a one off from a perverted word worker's garage sale.

This is extremely stupid! Just try to sit on this thing and align all the parts!

Landing a 737 on an aircraft carrier would be easier!

Do they make one for women too?

ha ha haha haha hahaha hhah ha! Word worker's! wood worker's.

well, for the s/m set, I should think. How do they figure out how to make sure the, uh, hollows fit?

It does kind of remind me of a sad puppy :-(

I'll bet whoever made it sat in it naked.

Hilarious.

I wonder if the maker takes custom orders. You'd have to sit on a photocopy machine and send in the image.

Could be worse.
Could be a chip and dip bowl.

Reminds me of truck nuts. I'd like to keep a few pairs of truck nuts in my trunk so that I can slap them on the cars of people I'm not fond of.

And I want to meet the model if there is also an ottoman.

despite my love of anything where all components fit perfectly in its own compartment, i loathe this so totally completely.

...but it does make me chuckle a little bit. chuckle and vomit. up chuckle, i guess.

or a nuts bowl.

Would this be considered "anal retentive"?

("Up chuckle" is hilarious, btw.)

Oh dear. Where are my pearls? They need clutching!

patrick!

made for a very small man, apparently.

does it vibrate?

i'm not sure if i know anyone who would actually fit in this...

I don't know about your pearls getting clutched, but his jewels are being cradled.

Hysterical!

The indentations are too small for my mandingo warrior....custom orders available?

I Love Upstate...finally, someone mentions those things off trailer hitches...is that what you are referring to by "truck nuts"? What is the deal with those? Those hanging, flesh colored plastic things???

P-Too....chip, dip and ottoman...*loud applause*

Lisa - Yes, truck nuts! So gross! So nasty! So Stupid! And yet, I hysterically laugh (at the driver) when I see them.

The next time someone in a $100K SUV cuts me off I want to follow them and then "truck nut'em".

I'd hate to admit that my boyfriend was the model for this....

what are these truck nuts of which you speak?

Thanks for making me google "truck nuts."

Those are messed up man.

I even saw some on a fire truck.

i'm afraid to google them at work!

My sister gave her husband some truck nuts back when they were dating, I guess as inspiration for him to "grow a pair" and ask her to marry him. Somehow this story made it into their wedding vows. Try explaining that one to grandma.

Art, yes, I can see that puppy! I looked up those truck nuts. They look like some terrible accident happened. They don't look in the slightest way like a vehicle part to my imagination.

"Could be worse.
Could be a chip and dip bowl."

Hahahaha.... Oh, my sides. They hurt.

Oh, Patrick....an ottoman! Exactly the laugh I needed at the end of the day.

i wonder if he got splinters while sitting and carving this out?

p(2) your hilarious..i almost spit out my drink..BWAHAHHAHHA

I saw the pic and immediately thought of P2: What will he come up with??? No disapointment bud, exactly what I needed at the end of a shitty day.

that is just sad - 'one' is smaller than the 'other'. i want to see the rest of the house immediately!! maybe there's a whole theme going on!

this is an overshare

I'm not wild about the actual piece, but it certainly brought out the creativity in AT readers - far more delightful reading comments than the quick glance at the work in question. And "up chuckle" is a brilliant creation - congrats!

Ok, i had no idea what truck nuts were, but i just googled them and they are SOOOO AWESOME!!! Any my boyfriend just made fun of me for posting a comment about this and he told me to suck his TRUCK NUTS AHAHAHAHAHAH

OMG!! P2, you are way too funny! Chip and dip bowl!

The cutouts are definatly too small!

I didn't see any information about this stool, even in the links, but it looks very early 1970's. pieces related to sex and sexual parts were part of the art scene back then.

Hee hee hee!

If I ever see this item previously alluded to on a truck, I plan to cut it off.

Pretty funny. For those with some pretty "low hangers"

Since it's wood, and would need to be cared for properly, there's a tung oil joke here but I am not going to make it.

P2, it is indeed wood, but I believe the more pertinent questions is hardwood or soft?

I googled "truck nuts" and read about the congressman who want to ban them... I'm still trying to understand the allura of it.

And my poor english doesn't allow me to understand the inuendo in P2's reference to the ottoman.

I'd never heard of, let alone seen, truck nuts before my KS adventure. Even funnier are the poor mens' truck nuts - two tennis balls stuffed in a tube sock.

For anyone who thinks "truck nuts" are remotely amusing -- imagine the mother whose 6-year-old daughter grabbed a pair hanging from the back of a Chevy Suburban in a parking lot and asked (with them in her hand) "Mom, what's this?). This actually happened to a co-worker of mine -- which is how I was first introduced to "truck nuts".

that is ridiculous.

I'm so sorry to see this thread move away from the front page.

Nuts.
