Word just in, we can confirm that the blob is sentient. It has been seen moving on it’s own. Fear is now the blob will get bigger demanding heavier machines to move it around.
Hah, there were no overpasses between my previous address and my present one, yet I didn’t have to load it all in one go. I know I couldn’t do it now. I’d probably take two trailers at least.
I was going to post pictures of how we loaded our stuff in and on my friend’s Ford Focus for our drive to Tampa, FL, but this just blows that out of the water! Boo hoo!
Okay, let’s see: assuming the pickup to be about six feet wide and the “mass” to rise ten feet above the roof, that would give approximately sixty extra square feet of flat (more or less) frontal surface area. The weight of the mass is a variable but, as it would make the top of the rear wheels rub the inner surface of the wheel wells under acceleration, I think we can assume one ton plus. That’s inertia to be overcome at standing start. Add in the variable additional rolling friction of the tires with their wheel wells and, you know, even if he fills up now, I don’t think he’ll ever have enough gas to get where he’s going without filling up again very soon.
I do love how their bathroom scale is passive-aggressively bound to the side of the Blob, just sitting there on the ropes waiting to plunge to its death.
That better be helium they are carrying. Otherwise we can look forward to the pictures of the same truck with rubber bands for shock absorbers.
It’s gotta be either helium or foam rubber, Daniel — the front tires are still on the pavement.
I think this is actually a katamari in the process of picking up a pickup!!
All I can think of when I see that is: “Nah, nahnahnahnah nah nah, Katamari Damacy…”

I have seen a lot of those Cars but this one is incredible.
Does anyone know the weight of this?
Looks like someone is trying to emulate Katami Damansi in real life.
what the heck is he hauling? an elephant?
He probably couldn’t pay for a van to move his things from his old house to his new one, so ended up trying to do it all by himself, in one trip.
I am living in Thailand… I wish I had a photo of what they do with their pick up trucks here. This is small change in contrast.
Beware of low bridges
How did he get that on there so perfectly?
@Lam
DUCT TAPE! Many wonderous uses
I suppose, if they untie that thing, they’ll have to go half a mile to recollect the stuff that’s in it

From the set of Ong Bak 2.
Wow, that Katamari just picked up a truck!
Ah, looks like a typical trip back from IKEA.
My Mom- still the reigning queen of yard sales.
It’s a Katamari! Run for your lives!
“Woo hoo!, We’re going to Burning Man!”
Katamari Damachi!
Unbelievable, that stack is like 4 times the size of the truck.
@dono1
Win.
They guy with the station wagon is jealous… for sure.
you see this often in san diego when ppl in tj buy stuff to sell there
It looks like the Experience Music Project in Seattle.
Pickup Truck: 1
Laws of Physics: 0
“…And the Grinch’s heart grew 3 sizes that day…”
KAAANNEEEEDAAAAA!
Anyone seen Jimmy Hoffa?
only just. id say 1 more immigrant on there and would do a wheelie
Well, I WAS gonna be original and clever and make a Katamari joke, but looks like I’m too late for that.

There, there Paddy, you can still post ‘em. We won’t make fun of you. Well….some of us won’t anyway.
You have to wonder how in the heck they managed to get that stuff on top.
hahahaha
Just another delivery to the Contemporary Art Museum.
Yep, they’re headed to burning man aalright. and, probably forgot something important.
Majestic 12, anybody, what the number, I think that guy hiding aliens in there.
How do they steer? Doncha need weight on the front wheels to get enough traction to steer? One hopes their destination is straight in front of them.
Dad: We WILL make this move IN ONE EFFING TRIP even if we have to tear down the overpass signs to DO SO!
@Hesster
off the roof of the trailer in the photo with the mailbox!
If it were Ours, it would be much bigger.
“…And the Grinch’s heart grew 3 sizes that day…”
Thumbs up.

I was going to make a Katamari comment but apparently was not the only one with that idea…oh what the heck– “They are going to roll up the world!”
I wasn’t aware that they were redoing the movie, “The Grapes Of Wrath”
John Stinebeck would be proud.
they get to thier new home and only then realise…they forgot Meg. <family guy
Ha Ha thats outside my house in Krugersdorp South Africa! we see quite a bit of this stuff but thats quite exceptional!
OK, time to unload. Pop the clutch!
I wonder what tools were required to do that?!? A ladder maybe???
Thank you for choosing the Dr. Seuss Moving Company. “The truck may dip, but we’ll make it in one trip!”
I do love how their bathroom scale is passive-aggressively bound to the side of the Blob, just sitting there on the ropes waiting to plunge to its death.
I’m just thinking about the low-clearance bridges.
I think he found a brain bug and is trying to abscond it to a safe haven…
That’s prove french car are resistant…
“What do you mean, ‘What was that SNAPping sound?’”
Love it, love it, love it!
>>Just another delivery to the Contemporary Art Museum.>>
“dad im sick of waiting around here, can you get my bike out and i’ll ride home”
This reminds me of how Jed Clampett would say, “Jethro, load up the truck.”
i am at a lost for words
Oh Look… it’s santa’s little helper!
And that’s when the Grinch stole Christmas
I reckon that this guy was pulled over because the vehicle (and cargo) would not have cleared the overpass. You can only reduce tire pressure so much.
It’s really gonna suck when they blow a tire and then have to change it.
