    These American cl***ics from coker were ridiculous with ***s all over the outside casing. I used needle noses to give them a slight tug and a razor blade to chop em off. Did them off the car which is easier. Of course I also sanded the logos off the tire and glued on some new brand names. Issues? I have a few.

    Yes, there's a tool for that!
    Back when I was a professional *** trimmer, I used this:

    You know that feeling 'cause you tinker with cars you think you can fix anything?

    Well sometimes you better not try, here's why:

    I live in an old house from the twenties with originally just one toilet, outside, where you take a **** right into the sceptic tank, somewhere down the line whoever lived here got sick of his *** freezing to the toilet seat in winter and they installed a bathroom on the second floor.

    Unfortunately they cut a few corners and instead of running a big pipe up to the second floor to dispose of turds they installed a 'brouilleur": one of those big blenders behind the toilet bowl so they can run the chopped turds down the little sink-drain pipes. Dunno if you have those things over there, they're kinda comparable to those blenders you Americans have in your kitchen sinks.

    Anyway, our "brouilleur" has been acting up for months, it just kept on going, normally it shuts itself off 30 seconds after you flushed, first it became a minute, then it just wouldn't shut off at all. So what we do is take a ****, flush, wait 30 seconds then pull the plug. Been going on like that for weeks, so today I finally get my courage together to do the dreaded job of checking out the ****-caked brouilleur box. It's a white plastic box that sits right behind the toilet bowl and out the top comes a small pipe that dissapears into the wall.

    It only took a couple of minutes to unhook it, and without getting too much **** on my hands. I take the lid of to be greeted by the most horendous sight ever, tubes and mechanisms with a nice old layer of **** in all shades of brown over 'em.

    Take the thing downstairs and outside and pour it's contents over the fence (no neighbours) then take it into the garage and put it in the sink.

    I can't see anything, first of all 'cause I can only look at it why holding my breath (me, a smoker, 10 seconds), secondly 'cause you can't see anything other then **** in the shape of machinery.

    Logic tells me the mechanism probably shuts off and on with the level of water/piss/sheit in the box. So I decide to plug it in and run water from the tap in it to see what happens.

    It fills up, and up, and up when all of a sudden the thing starts mixing, and, remember the pipe coming OUT THE TOP, and THE LID BEING OFF????? There was a fountain of **** coming out of that thing all the way to the ceiling!!!! Of course most of it caught me on it's way back down, it was horrendous, I was ****man, the white T-shirt didn't help either, in my hair, ****, everywhere...

    The missus is still laughing, and I've just spent two hours in bath, changing the water 3 times.....

    Tire vendors should add a 'Baby **** Smooth Shave' option with added cost.
    And double it for Wide White Walls.

    LOL, No worries Rob, I put the razor blades down, I bought a new set of toe nail clippers!!:)
    Now I just need a spiffy new set of Tires so I can snip them nips!
    Looks as though I'm not the only one **** about tires on here,
    uh, whoops, maybe that's the wrong word to be using around here!
    Lets rephrase that......
    Looks as though I'm not the only one on here who's picky about the presentation of his tires..
    Okay, that sounds better.
    Thanks for the laughs fellas.

  20. Naw. Just like puppy dog tails, you cut 'em off a little at a time so it don't hurt so much.

    HRP, I think one of your white walls is moonlighting as a secretary where I work.

    Yes, I did remove the nibs, they looked ridiculous. Also buffed the tires with an abrasive ball on a drill to remove the caked-on white crust. And then hand lettered the logos.
