this goes on the wishlist

I hope this is the most clever of clever pranks . . . because it’s much, much better that way.

“The JL421 Badonkadonk is a completely unique, extremely rare land vehicle and battle tank.

Standard drive is an air-cooled, 6hp Tecumseh gasoline (unleaded only) engine, with centrifugal clutch, giving the Donk a top speed of 40 mph. This vehicle is not licensed for use on public roads, and is intended as a recreational vehicle only.

  3. Wil, thanks for giving me a big laugh on Black Thursday.
    This seems a better choice for Iraq, but then again, all those bozos in L.A. who currently drive a Hummer will want one to cruise the freeways.
    Kroeme

  4. That is one sweet ride! I don’t know who I expect to see first: Ben Kenobi or Johnny Knoxville and Wee Man.
    Thanks for some afternoon hilarity, Wil!

  5. I’m a guest on your site for quite a while now, and on more than one occasion you have provided me (among other things) with a big laugh to brighten up my working hours. This one was a real gem.
    Keep it coming!

  8. I seem to remember a Tracy Morgan SNL sketch where he referred to a lady having a “Badonkadonk” butt. I didn’t realize at the time that her but was, in fact, a $20,000 tank.

  9. I was just looking at naodesign.net and the Badonkadonk isn’t the only oddball design they’ve created. Check out the F451 Flamethrower, the PneumatiPak or the Nellophone

  14. Too bad it’s not licenced for road use, it’d make my hour drive to work that much more interesting!
    (as well as trying to get the road tax done for it, oh such fun to confuse the poor post office witches)

  15. It’s a good job I just got a job – I might be able to afford one of those now. I’ve been wanting one my whole life…
    Actually, the reason that I came here is partly due to that formerly mentioned job… I had my first ever Job Interview today (the relevance of which will be revealed soon!). I knew I had to go out and find a job (I’m only 16, and still in school) because my best friend moved to Australia in the summer and I promised I’d go and visit her by January 2006! The ironic thing is… the store that offered me an interview – I hadn’t actually written to! The postman sent the letter to the wrong store – I was hoping for a job nextdoor. Must have been fate!
    Anyways, I have a lucky locket that I fill with a picture. Now this picture is usually a picture that I’ve printed off because it has some kind of resonance with me personally. For instance, today, I printed off a picture of you and River Phoenix in Stand By Me. I only watched the movie last week, and I was completly blown away by it. I’ve always been fascinated with male relationships (and I say that in a non-homosexual way… if you get my drift). It’s just the way, that unlike females who show their affection often and emphatically – men are quite resevred when it comes to that. But the relationship between Gordy and Chris in the film just completely caught me. I was entralled by it. It was beautiful to watch.
    So I printed off a picture of the two of you. Why? Because it inspires me. Inspires me to become… a better friend I suppose. And if having my best friend move to the other side of the world hasn’t taught me anything – it’s to be a better friend. Friendship is something I hold higher than anything.
    So I want to thank you. Thank you for being so inspiring, taking residence in my locket, and helping me get a job which will bring me closer to my best friend. And thank you, finally, for being a fellow geek. What other way is there to be?

  17. Wow, I think my 4′ 10″ self would look really cool in that thing. (HaHaHa) I think it could be real, but who knows?
    Anyway Wil, below I am including an E Mail I sent you as I am not sure if you got it since I did not encrypt it. READ AND ENJOY!
    Dear Wil,
    Well, where do I begin Wil? I am a 29, almost 30 year old female, that has been following your career for many years now. I have been an aspiring actress for my whole life and have found much inspiratiuon from you and your work. Your work has amazed me, moved me, and I thank you for giving me that. Currently I am not attempting any work in my field as I have moved on to other things, working an office job to be exact, so I guess you can say I sold out. I never really had any support from my family or friends in my younger years when I was in acting classes and doing NY Theatre to try and perfect my craft, and this is why I am empty now. No matter what I do in life, movies and acting is the only thing I can say I am truly happy in. I have not been complete in my Excutive world, but I am slowly getting myself motivated by myself.
    Wil, the main thing I need you to know is that recently I have bene watching some of your films and I smiled for the first time in years. You are very special to me as when I see your films and your performances I see truth, honesty, and I really find that admirable in Hollywood for a young actor.
    Thank you very much for reading this Wil, and I hope to hear back from you with any words of wisdom. 🙂 Best of luck in 2005. I wish you and your wife/children love, happiness, health, and prosperity in this coming year.
    Much love,
    Quincey
    PS: Hey, are you involved in any acting projects that we can see in the near future? 🙂 Just curious!
    Oh,
    Sorry for the second E-Mail as I wrote you yesterday, but I really went through your site last night and wanted you to know I LOVE IT! 🙂 I really appreciate the photo blog as it us very kind of you to let us all in to your life that way. You are sharing, and I love that. I also lstened to the IT conversations and I can tell you this, the EI is “cracked” if they are slamming doors in your face as you are so entertaining. I may put both parts on my IPOD just to have something fun, witty, and intellegent to listen to when I am out and about. 🙂 I am kind of going through the same things that you were, so some of your stories hit home. (I am hitting 30 soon) I laughed very hard at many parts and I just hope you continte to write. After hearing you in the IT conversations and looking at your photo blog, I am glad that you seem happy Wil. You are very special and we have alot in common. (Writing and acting) You are inspiring me to do both again, and I thank you!
    Well, I will let you go now. Hope to hear back soon! Thanks again for all you do Wil, keep it up! Stay happy! 🙂

  18. Yep… that looks like a Burning Man art car to me. It looks like the pictures were taken out on the playa and you can see the “trash fence” in the background in one and Burning Man art installations in the other. You should go to Burning Man some year. You’d probably really dig it.

  24. The best thing about it is the name. And the rest of it is pretty damn cool too! It looks like the vehicle that the spice pilots flew in the movie Dune. I don’t know if it would fit in my garage. I have this piture in my head of driving this thing down the road and my little dog is sticking it’s head out the window…drooling…you know. Where do you find this shit Wil?

  27. Hella funny. What’s even better is all the folks who have posted “in addition to” and “instead of” suggestions – like “Just A Geek.” Gotta have some reading material since there isn’t much of a view, right?
    Have a good weekend, all.

  30. Wow, that is something… I wonder how it handles in snow. I could really use somethign liek that to get to work now 😀
    Oh, and sorry about the trackback caffuffle. First time, and it took me three swings 😀

  34. If you ever find yourself in the vicinity of the Stanford Campus, there’s a good likelihood that you’ll see it. Especially if it happens to be a Saturday during foodball season.
    It’s a lot comfier inside than you’d expect. And he’s not kidding about the sound system. Quite the portable party.

  36. How in the hell did you come across this item?
    This is hysterical!
    Not to mention…the people who bought it also recommend buying “Just A Geek.”
    Hmmm…..
    On the other hand, this vehicle is a good cross between a Hummer and a Minivan. I wonder what the other soccer moms would say if I drove their kids to the next field trip in this baby? Perhaps…”May the Farks Be With You!” 😉

  37. Funny! You know what? That contraption looks a little like a miniature version of Jabba’s ship in “Return of the Jedi.” Remember when Luke, Han and the others were going to be “executed” in the Sarlacc?(spelling?)
