An argument against bumper stickers

Nice! I wonder how many people get that one? :slight_smile:

Well, I just had to explain the “If this sign is blue…” to my sister.

Count me in as someone who would want one!

Ugh.

My favorite recent eye-roller: an American Indian activist type with a dreamcatcher rearview-mirror ornament with pro-Indian, anti-everything-else stickers all over the back of her car. The one that sticks in my mind was:

Honk if my other car was an honorary Jewish carpenter at Valencia middle school.

Eschew Obfuscation

a favorite … memorable it was… once I looked it up

That and the “Proud parent of an Honor Roll student at Snobhuckers School” … when the sticker is so road worn as to indicate it’s been a Looooong time since the kid made the honor roll … Don’t those stupid stickers need at least a little box where you put in the ever-increasing number of times the kid got grades?

Or the poor parents who have 3 kids at the school and have to have 3 of the exact same sticker back there!
“That one is the one about me!!!”
“Mommy, make Johnny quit point to MY sticker saying it is His!!!”

But, back to the O.P., already in progress …

WHAT??? Wow!!! What a clever and creative child! I’ve Never heard of that one! Wow!

(underline mine) … Now, from where I sit, THAT is funny!!!
I’m not sure if it is the concept that a bumper sticker about Jesus is damned … or if it is the proper langauge “to another christian…”
Great story! The whole thing cracked me up, s’pecially since it was YOUR fault she lost her lipstick AND they were late to school! Great story!:smiley:

Oh, I don’t know, I see the right-wingers with lots of bumper stickers quite often around here. You have the sticker insulting Clinton; you have the sticker asking people to vote for Bush; you have the inevitable sticker saying “I <3 SPOTTED OWLS… FRIED.” Damn, I hate those stickers and I don’t even care ‘bout the freakin’ spotted owls. One time I saw a car with one of those and also a sticker that said “I <3 JESUS.” Everything came together in my mind, and I decided my goal in life was to find a sticker that says “I <3 JESUS… FRIED.”

I bought one of those. But since I don’t have a car. I put it on my laptop.

Incidentally, it’s nice to meet a fellow Miskatonic Graduate.

I saw this one yesterday:

In the background a flying American flag with the slogan: “These colors don’t run.”

It was totally faded. The irony nearly triggered my airbags.

:smiley:

Yeah, I know. I felt bad until I realized she had already flipped me the bird, and had apparently either encouraged her child (or at least, did nothing to DIScourage him) to physically taunt me. At that point, I figured it was a wash, and my conscience was clear.

Until I tracked her down later in the day and machine-gunned her into a pasty red glop. I’m gonna have to do some praying about that.

Explain it to me, please. I’m not stupid, just tired. I was up all night, making sure the sump pump worked.

BiblioCat, you know how, on a cosmic scale, when an object is moving towards us, its light tends to get blue-shifted? And, conversely, an object moving away from us tends to look slightly red-shifted?

It’s a relativity thing.

Yup, that’s gonna take about a 100 Hail (o’ lead) Marys, me thinks …

If there’s a good sense of irony or it’s funny–yes.

**Honk If I’m An Aggie!

187,000 miles per second . . . it’s not just a good idea, it’s the law!

**and My other car is a piece of shit on a 1983 Datsun with faded paint, beat-up fenders, non-matching doors and hood, and purple shag carpet pasted down in the hatch.

Two of my faves:

“Don’t tailgate me or I’ll flick a booger on your windshield.”
“For a small town, this one sure has a lot of assholes!”

I had to laugh when I saw “Proud to be Navajo” and “One Day at a Time” stickers on the same car. I wonder if the driver knew he was feeding into stereotypes.

I put a rainbow sticker on my car so I can pick up cute gay guys.

Reasonable, yes? :smiley:
