Also, that thing totally looks like a giant iron. All we need is a car, a giant thimble, and a dog, and we could have a Monopoly game.

cmgonzales, digg had a link showing those same associations for a 'fresh dead rabbit' -- which of course sent the diggers into a craze of speculation about just what, exactly, people were planning to DO with those dead rabbits.
Now that it's doing the same thing on the tank, I suspect these are things that have never actually been bought, and there's a bug in the association algorithm... though why, precisely, it's choosing THOSE things is a bit of a mystery. :)

I understand your interests, bigmusic. Really, I do. Nothing makes a Radio Flyer's allure recede faster on Christmas morning, than an armored, tracked vehicle, with provenance.
But I can't help but feel that an FN Five-seveN would be so much more useful, in most "shall issue" states.

These are most likely expensive. You probably want to buy one before the market tanks.

I want an M1A1 tank for Christmas
Only an M1A1 tank will do
Don't want a doll, no dinky Tinker Toy
I want an M1A1 tank to crush kill and destroy
I want an M1A1 tank for Christmas
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just drive it through the front door,
that's the easy thing to do
I can see me now on Christmas morning,
creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
when I open up my eyes
to see an M1 Abrams parked right there
I want an M1A1 tank for Christmas
Only an M1A1 tank will do
No Panzer II's, no T-34's,
They're pretty old, no one drives them anymore,
And M1A1 tanks are sort of new
Mom says that I'll be shot and then I'm done,
But I'll be safe inside depleted uranium
There's lots of room for it out behind the shed
and if you piss me off it won't be long before you're dead
I can see me now on Christmas morning,
creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
when I open up my eyes
to see an M1 Abrams parked right there
I want an M1A1 tank for Christmas
Only an M1A1 tank will do
No Panzer II's, no T-34's,
They're pretty old, no one drives them anymore,
I'll also take a used M1A2!

My old roommates would be all over this, in a very real and not kidding way. One of them bought an old military 18 wheeler and tried to park it on our quiet residential street, much to the fucking chagrin of our neighbors.
Anyway... don't show this them. I will all end in tears.

The badonkadonk is a pretty lame vehicle though. It's basically just a golf cart with some fake-rusty sheetmetal attached. Please if someone you know fancies tanks, please buy them an actual military vehicle for christmas.

The Badonkadonk! I came across this term some time back as a result of trying to figure out the weird slang in this video. I had never heard the term before, and first tried spelling it "padunkadunk" or some such. Eventually I hit on "badonkadonk" and up came the Amazon tank.
I heard Joe Rogan use the term in describing a UFC fighter once.
I've yet to work the term "travlin'-ass mud shark" into conversation.

Okay. WTF.
A week ago we had this, complete with anal douches and Customer Reviews that are way too well-written to be be random. (Consider your average Internet comment.) There's just no way 20 random people on the internets can write that consistently or well. It's clearly coordinated, spiked, or whatever you call it.
The tank reviews from the last link read exactly the same.
Is there a comedy site somewhere setting all these up, complete with all the necessary Reviewers and such in advance? Are they MeFites? Is this performance art? What the hell?
PS I also would like a tank pls thx. In periwinkle blue if it's not too much trouble.

It's an elaborate 4chan joke. They also engineered the reviews that led to this.

Each crew member within a properly-equipped tank will have sidearms, along with one or two longarms nowadays. And that's not even counting the mounted Browning .50cal and the two M240s.
Plus, a tank can crush a car, among other things.
When I was in the service, almost exactly twenty years ago, our M1A1 armor company bought an old junked car, and we drove over it. Yes, that's where your tax money was going in the Reagan years.
The only problem with owning one of these would be the gas bill. At three gallons per mile.

I don't think this is used in the armor, only in the antitank rounds.

the correlation for the anal items is obvious to me. Badonkadonk means booty or ass and all the listed products are for said Ass.
