Caption Monkey 48: Wild West HUMMER

The Amish trade up!

Even if it was pulled by horses it would still get worse gas mileage than a Toyota!

Rawr, I am retro!

Matthew knew he and his Dubs were kicking it Old School. No one could take away from him, no one.

This is a production still of the remake of Ben Hur 2008!

"Hummer with wagon wheels"? What's _that_ a euphamism for?!

...Hummer has broken an axel. Lose 5 Days. Press space bar to continue.

Bi-polar Bill

If you like it, you should see the wooden benches inside.

@Joe Hummer H3 gets the exact same gas milage as a Toyota FJ Cruiser.

As if! Oversized wheels are sooo two centuries ago!

(Em's Oregon Trail reference totally killed me!)

Wow! Look at that licence plate!

Will smith can not come to terms that wild wild west was a flop.

"Me and my bro Hamish,
We rollin like the Amish,
Kickin it like the good life,
You should see my Good Wife,
Never living in strife,
Livin it Amish...
Life!"

At least you wont need to worry about flat tires.

maybe a new TV show..."Pimpeth My Chariot"

These Little House on the Prairie sequels have gone on too long.

Hello, and welcome to my Amish Crib. First let's check out my rides. First up we have my Hum, that's rocking my brand new 36 inch rims. No amish motherlover has those except me, Father Holypimpin'.

If you think this is retro, wait til you check out the horsepower under the hood.

taking a page from the history books...now the rich attempt to get back to their roots.

John McCain's H2.

Grand Theft Auto: the Oregon Trail Edition got off to a shaky start

Tom had scoffed seven years ago when a magazine editor suggested that one day rims would re/de-evolve to 40 inch wagon wheels. His friends had now gone a little too far to rub it in his face.

"Forget 22's, I'm rollin on 2x4's."

What a Waste of 4 perfectly good wagon wheels.

The new economy model of NO FLAT tires brought to you by Firestone.

This years "Pimp My Carriage" may have gone a bit too far.

And you thought I was impractical BEFORE, baby!!!

::Sigh

First my family dies of dysentery and now Ive broken an axle, perfect.

GM's merger with Home Depot results in the release of the 2009 Hummer H2x4.

UAW leaders express concern over GM's new "You can do it. We can help." ad slogan.

Injun trouble!

"Having sold his tires to pay for gas, Vern Wheelwright was forced to relearn the family trade."

I can haz dysentery?

Get outta my grill or I'll pop a cap in you like them buffalo that came steppin.

"Sadly, GM's bold new design wasn't going to reverse the rapid decline of it's stock share values anytime soon."

Local cub scout Timmy Swanson broke out in tears when discovering his soapbox derby car was disqualified for being over the official weight limit.

Amish my ride.

After much tedious custom woodwork, the Lancaster Urban Splinter Education Reconnaissance (LUSER) team had just finished unhitching their latest educational display. The general consensus was that this year's centerpiece model would be a hit, and not just with the elementary school crowd.

"And in the future, we don't need horses. We have motorized carriages called automobiles."

It's hard out there for an Amish pimp!

a hummer made of wood is truly adding insult to injury

Rollin' on 1922s

GAH!

Make that 1822s...

Bloody finger...

While visiting 1882 bad roads forced Lex Luther to replace the wheels of his time machine with wooden ones. Luther, shown above, snaps a shot of his new bride, Laura (nee Wilder) behind the wheel in 2008.

OK, I posted my caption. That done, it's time to rag on the basic "art" at work here.

"Harrison has combined the legendary off-road vehicle with ‘Wild West’ wooden wheels to create a sculpture that is a mixture of art, engineering and motoring. For Harrison, the crux of the ‘Hummer’ is formed by both its ‘being’ and its afterlife."

Come on... the guy took a real off-the-lot production car and merely got a machine shop to make some hub adapters so that real wagon wheels (Amazon: www.amazon.com/Amish-Handcrafted-Authentic-Decorative-Hickory/dp/B0016AJ40A/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&s=miscellaneous&qid=1224795475&sr=8-17) would temporarily bolt on the hubs for the show. That is a "sculpture" worthy of exhibit to the masses as serious art? It's a bit funny, I will admit, but in a farmshow (www.farmshow.com) kind of way. Actually, no, it's nt even up to their standards. Calling oneself a "sculptor" for such a project really stretched credulity a bit.

In 500 years will our descendants be able to see this alongside "the Elgin Marbles" in the British Museum? Ummmmm... maybe not.

Straight talk from Sid.

Manifest Destiny 2008: Westward ho! ...at 16MPG

yo, where da wagon train at, beeotch?

Next, I'll have to figure some way of fitting a steam engine under the hood. After that, candle taillights.

its th wildist thang in th' wilderness!!! (only funny if you've been to disneyland)

Amish pride.

Gone feeding 325 horses...

From the new hit series: "Amish CSI"

Oregon Trail 2.0 - you can still die of dysentery!

Evolution of the Amish

Only after his return from 17th century England did Harrison realize that the new "localization" feature of his time machine required some more work.

Having not learned the lessons of Aliens and Indiana Jones, the fourth Back To The Future movie was also a disaster at the box office.

While visiting 1882 bad roads forced Lex Luther to replace the wheels of his time machine with wooden ones. Luther, shown above, snaps a shot of his new bride, Laura (nee Ingalls) behind the wheel of the time machine in 2008.

So, this is what you meant when you said you'd bought a new Passion Wagon?

Oh gee! Thank you for the car, John, it's a real maverickmobile!

Wells Fargo transports cash to the West (circa 2008)

Amish Hip-Hop is gaining popularity.

For the wild and wooly campaign trail, Sara and John chose the MaverickMobile.

Not to be outdone, the Amish get a late start in despoiling the Earth.

Steam my ride.

Miss Daisy would like a pillow today.

Like drifting? Our driftwood wheels are made to drift!

It's time for the SUV Paralympics again.

Finally! The new Bummer H3!

That's the last time I try to bounce a check at that body shop!

They were decreasing their carbon footprint.

Off-roading in Amish country.

At least they can't have a blow out or a flat :D
