> “FEATURE” on a VW Beetle? Please explain (and have pity on my soul).

It’s a techy-geek sorta thang. (I’m a Web developer, long-time programmer, so this is right up my alley.)

Ever heard the phrase “It’s not a bug, it’s a feature”?

Referring to software that acts in unexpected ways, but the creator of said software puts marketing spin on it to make it seem like the behavior was intended. Sort of the tech equivalent of “I **meant** to do that!”

As I said, I live in Seattle. The company the driver probably worked for is largely responsible for the popularization of the phrase…mostly by others complaining about their software.

**spark** , I like it. Where do I get one? (assume you saw that on a sticker)

Wish I could tell you. I’ve been desperately looking for one myself. Just saw it once.

Two for you…

(in small writing) If I wanted you up my ass I would have kissed you first.

Aaaaaagh!

Of course I’ve heard “It’s not a bug it’s a feature.” I was trying to think of some combination of “VW Feature” or “Beetle Feature” and was coming up with zip. I’d still be sitting at the traffic light trying to work it out. Not the lightning-wit guy who figured out “ML8-ML8”.

Thanks

I’ve seen this on an old chevy pick-up,

“Keep Honking… I’m Reloading!”  
Only in Texas :eek:

I’m imagining the thoughts I’d have if that guy cut me off in traffic: “For GOD’S SAKE, learn how to DRIVE, it’s NOT --”

I liked a bumper sticker I saw so much that I made it my sig. One to piss off PETA types!

I saw this one today…had to tailgate to read the whole thing, tho:

The chances of you been seen are in direct proportion to the stupidity of the things you do.

It is simple, and fitting, with my Air Force Veteran’s Plates:

In small white letters on a black background:

_ **Hug your kid. Spank the Sound Barrier.** _

People honk and give me thumbs up over that one.

This is a sig line, but I’d love it on a bumper:

If God didn’t want us to eat animals, he wouldn’t have made them out of meat!

I don’t have strong feelings about vegetarianism either way, but I like it for its in-your-face obnoxiousness, the fact that it misses the entire point but doesn’t care. Which is also why I laugh when I see “Against Abortions? Don’t have one!”

I’ve also smiled fondly at the one that reads “Wouldn’t it be great if our schools had all the money they needed, and the defense department had to hold a bake sale to buy another missile?”

I used to have a sticker on my vehicle that said “This vehicle protected by Smith and Wesson”.  
I liked the sticker so much I tried to salvage it when I sold the vehicle to a wrecker, but it tore across. Dang.

Let go of my head I know what I’m doing.

Where are we going and why are we in this handbasket?

I love the whirled Pease one, but I can find one anywhere. There are a few more, but I only have a minute here sorry.

Póg mo Thoin .

Also sometimes seen as Pogue Mahone (phonetic spelling)

“Kiss my Ass” in Irish.

Another good one is  
“If they outlaw guns, can we use swords?”

“Everything I know I learned from killing smart people and eating their brains”

My favorite one mentioned in this thread so far is the “if I wanted you up my ass…”
