Cool! (Coal!) BTW, I read this in a model railroad magazine. Coal fractures in a way that, scaled up looks just like rock. So you can make a latex mold of a piece of fractured coal, and then use it to cast plaster rocks for your train layout scenery.

I think you have the right attitude 
You are absolutely correct. Reminds me of a time some bearded friends and I went to a pool-hall in Petaluma, CA in 2004… this was well before beards hit the right-wing stratosphere. it was the middle of the afternoon and there was nobody in the place, and the bar-tender asked my bearded friends straight-faced, not joking, “What, you guys in the taliban or something?” We were kind of stunned. For context, Petaluma is basically right where John Walker the “American Taliban” grew up.

Beards are now the official 'Murkastani visual shorthand for “LOOK MOMMY I CAN GROW BEARD THIS MEANS I HAVE PENIS!”
It makes me long for the Bad Old Days, when the only men who had beards were hippies, academic types, nerdy high-school history teacher looking guys who actually wore knit ties, and some combination of the three. I knew that bearded men were my kind of people, and the vain, preening guys insecure in their sexual and gender identity were all clean-shaven.

In many cases, authorities will confiscate business records as part of the investigation and then issue subsequent fines to the end customers who are found to be operating illegal modifications. Individual fines rarely make the news, but it does happen.

When every other commercial is just a promotional plug for another program on that channel and it’s repeated ad nauseam, you know it’s too far gone to salvage.

Shortly after 9/11 a guy on the subway said “You can shave the beard. We won.” As he was leaving the car.
Christ what &tc.

My beard is visual shorthand for, “I’m lazy.” I also think I look good in a beard, and my SO agrees. But hey, stereotypes are handy, I guess.

If you spend any time out in the sticks on the side of a 2 lane highway with bikes, kayaks or canoes, you’ll get coal rolled a bit. We get it regularly. It’s not always modified trucks or even diesels. Any heavyish vehicle with a large motor is going to be pretty obnoxious if they slow to a crawl right before they get to you, then tromp on the gas. All the non-modified trucks have the tailpipe straight 90 degrees out the passenger side, like it’s made to do it. It’s pretty effect and unpleasant.
We get coal rolled a bit in the Sprinter Class B. I’ve had modified trucks pass me, slow to a crawl, then fire on it again, just to make sure I knew it was an insult.
It’s certainly nothing new but I think it’s gotten worse since the internet became popular.

The fact that these douchebags have a tv show is more upsetting than their shenanigans with destroying the environment. They’re being given a platform for their bad behavior and whichever channel is employing them should also be held responsible. I can only hope they’re being dropped from their show, but then again don’t watch tv so i didn’t even know these idiots were even a thing.

I can’t imagine how anyone could live in a state with as much natural beauty as Utah and think “Let’s mess this up.”

No, they want you to breath it. That’s why it comes out the back of the truck.

Spend any time in Utah and you can’t help but notice how every 3rd vehicle is some ridiculous lifted wanna-be monster truck penis enhancer. It’s like practicality and gas prices take a back seat to insecure masculinity.

If you see a vehicle emitting clouds of thick, black smoke call the fire department. Let the fire engine (or the cops) pull them over and let the driver spend the next ten minutes (or more) explaining that no, their vehicle is not on fire. If it keeps happening every five to ten miles down the road (as more people driving near them report the problem to a new town / city / county / etc. fire department) they may get the message that hey, maybe spewing smoke from your vehicle isn’t such a great idea.

Alright, fair point from you and shuck, but if you have one of these you’re still going to get some exposure, as are your kids, etc. It is fucking stupid.
I’m from a small town area where big beat up farm trucks running on diesel were common. But so was conservation and being good stewards of the land. YMMV.

It’s a much better statement than preening machismo.
It’s just that the preening, insecure men of this generation tend to be bearded, and none of these kids are old enough to remember yuppies or even metrosexuals.
If I were back in 2005 posting about metrosexuals, I suppose I would get a lot of comments like “hey, I’m clean-shaven, and I’m not a metrosexual”, like being clean-shaven is the defining characteristic of a metrosexual. It isn’t, any more than having a beard is the defining characteristic of this group of assholes. It’s just that metrosexuals and yuppies were clean-shaven and whatever these assholes are, they have beards.
Whenever we have discussions about beards and what cultural group they signify, it always goes poorly. But think about it like this: you have a beard, but do you ever get mistaken for a Murkastani or a lumbersexual? Do you dress in camo and tacticool accessories and put the thin blue line flag and the punisher logo on everything? Are you a preening, vain man who lifts weights every day, follows one insane diet after another even though you’re in great shape, and pays more attention to your appearance than the vast majority of women pay to theirs? If not, then you’re just another bearded man, and you don’t belong to any of these weird groups.
