I got this little fella from a restaurant in Dover DE called "Where Pigs Fly". Paid $2.50...lol



A little history on how this started in Japan by Antonio Alvendia

"For some reason, it has become some sort of trend for people to hang toys or other items of thier cars' rear tow hook, but the origination of this trend came from the Bosozoku (street gangsters with fixed up cars) in Japan. It was a Bosozoku trend to hang a small tin bucket from thier rear tow hook to show off how low thier cars were- they got the idea from seeing cement trucks in Japan, wich always had a bucket hanging off the rear of the truck. The cement trucks used the bucket as a "catch can" of sorts, so that excess cement from the truck would'nt spill onto the pavement. Inspired by this, the bosozoku trend setters attached small buckets to thier rear tow hooks to show how low thier bucket could hang- if your car was so low that the bucket could scrape on things as you were driving , they thought it was cool as hell."

There was a thread made about this awhile back,.. somewhere.

I had a charm I made of my bird, but someone stole it. Now I have a pokeball I found while cleaning my room. It was those pokeballs you got at Burger King.

I didn't read this thread but I'm gonna throw out a "nothing because I'm not gay" response.

This thread got me thinking about actually doing this.I'm gonna go down to the flightline today and see if I can't get any clips that say 'remove before flight'.. See how many I can get. Maybe I can get the Nico emblem embroidered on it..

Interesting history lesson, thanks for the info. Everything I ever hung was stolen. Before I sold my last car I had the sponge bob toy from burger king. While leaving a friends house, he let his pitbull chase my car and that ***** pulled it off.
