Just speed up your pirate car, come up on the port, fire a broadside and prepare for semi-frigate boarding.

That photo looks like it was snapped from the driver's side. Remember, two hands on the wheel and let's be safe out there, valuable guys.

Mobile Bimbo. The inspiration for the Dominatrix Van.

Me no Alamo!

Looks windy.

I am amused that I can read the hood of the car from that vantage point.

Where's our Craig in a kilt picture???
Posted by: smjump | November 03, 2009 at 01:15 PM
Seriously ? No traffic ??? You must be down behind the Orange Curtain - that's not the Santa Ana Freeway WE know and despise.

This does look like it was taken from the drivers side of the van which means one of two things. 1. Ridley finally let Dave drive 2.Dave was leaning over Ridley's shoulder from the back seat and took the picture. I'm hoping it was the second one.

Dave and Ridley following a bimbo. Nothing wrong with that.

Apparently, my delivery is going to be late.

Bimbos on Wheels. The latest service for shut-ins.
Posted by: Horace LaBadie | November 03, 2009 at 01:21 PM
Ahh, I miss fresh bimbos. They say the best come from California.

Twin Cities Bloglits! Doesn't anyone else
have the poor judgmentplan to go on Thursday??? Tashnicp at yahooPosted by: Tash | November 03, 2009 at 01:24 PM
Truckin', got to strumpetin’.
Keep truckin', look, a hoo-ha van!
Together, more or less they’re fine
Must-see truckin', oh!
Payload of bimbos and glowing red light on the highway
Chicago, New York, Petaluma – hey, they’re goin’ my way!
Your typical fantasy found in a typical wet dream
Pull over and see if the register rings.
Portland, got a quiet scene,
DC, Leetie’s still the queen,
Naperville, where the squirrels are mean,
They just won't let you be.
Most of the trucks that you pass on the road reek of diesel,
Much of the time they're blockin’ your passage to home.
This one is perfumed and keeps the pirates from goin'
Into the left lane and down on the road all alone.
Truckin', yes, the hoo-ha van
Once told me "You've got to pay a grand"
Sometimes the bucks ain't worth it to have if you don't lay'em down.
Sometimes the light's are flashin' ‘round me
Stationhouse at a quarter to three.
Lately it occurs to me,
What a long, strange trip it's been.

Bravo, mtb, but I ain't gonna grope ya.
Posted by: bonmot | November 03, 2009 at 04:29 PM
I presume that's because your hands are full already, bon.
BTW, could it be mere coincidence that "bonmot" anagrams to "O no mtb"?
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | November 03, 2009 at 04:44 PM
*Belated SNORK! @ wiredog's entirely appropriate socially diseased applause*

Bimbo! That happens to be my dog's name (she came with it, and at 4.5 yrs was too familiar with it to give it up easily). We have been trying to get a picture of those trucks for ages. She will be so proud when I show it to her.
Posted by: waxwing | November 03, 2009 at 05:07 PM
I don't think I've seen the truck, but I've seen the brand name in local stores -- it's a Mexican bakery. "Bimbo" doesn't mean the same thing there. (About time we got a brand name to laugh about; they've been laughing over the Chevy No Va for how long now?)

Steely Dan: Here come those Santa Ana Winds again...
Posted by: Georg | November 03, 2009 at 05:32 PM
Bimbo is also a sponsor of a major Mexican soccer team. Chivas maybe? I don't follow Mexican soccer, but I see their jerseys all over Houston.
Posted by: bonmot | November 03, 2009 at 05:34 PM
Google tells me it's Club America.
So Club America is sponsored by Bimbo. Perfect.
Posted by: bonmot | November 03, 2009 at 05:35 PM
Bimbo is indeed a Mexican bakery conglomerate. it bought out Geo Weston bakeries sometime in the past couple of years and owns these brands you know
http://www.gwbakeries.com/brands.cfm
i have heard that Bimbo is also the private label bread (Great Value) supplier to many Wal Mart Supercenters in the west.

And here I thought it was a truck full of blondes.
Posted by: Clankazoid | November 03, 2009 at 08:01 PM
I have to agree with telecomdropout; there is way too little traffic for the Santa Ana freeway. On the other hand, the crapcam does an excellent job of rendering the smog.

Posted by: Siouxie | November 03, 2009 at 01:18 PM
unless Mrs Blog says there is.
Posted by: oneblankspace | November 04, 2009 at 12:46 PM
I expect some green and refreshing photographs. It reminds me the problem of dust and pollution in the air, we breath in.
