    From the Urban Dictionary: Having someone complete the act of masturbation by pulling up and down on the forearm, while the male holds his own penis.
    Oops, that’s a Dutch Rudder.

    The Urban Dictionary could use a decent editor. And a pointillist illustrator.

    If there’s two auctioneers, is the auction said to be ‘Double Dutch’?

    I can’t believe you didn’t iintedfy the vehicle! If I’m not mistaken, it’s Ed Roth’s hand-pin-striped Honda (early, maybe 600 cc?). Ed was a great craftsman and visionary. Too bad he’s gone. I actually met him at the World of Wheels in the Washington, D.C., Armory. He was very approachable so long as you treated him like a man and not an icon. Keep up the good work!
