Those of you who remember the [rebus debacle](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=599610) from a while back - spoiler: here’s the [earthshattering outcome](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=17219967&postcount=129) - might find this [SMBC comic](http://smbc-comics.com/index.php?id=3686) entertaining. (And as always, push the big red button below the comic for added amusement.)

I’ve been wanting to make a rebus of [garden hose] + [knee joint] + [a cow vocalising] + [our current U.S. President]. Also a picture of a cowboy covered with a cargo net.

Way back in high school when the [I heart my dog head] and [I heart my &lt;dog breed&gt;] bumper stickers first became popular I used to have a set of round stickers about 3" in diameter which depicted a large woodscrew against a white background.

I customized quite a few bumpers’ stickers. Aaah, misspent youth!! 😃

In the early-'90s I remember you could buy round stickers of a drawing of a screw, that fit right over the hearts on other people’s bumper stickers.

Good one. But a bit long for a bumper sticker. 🙂
