Well... HE was certainly pissed off!

Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share (MPSIMS)
#1

So I’m on the freeway in Orange County (“Behind the Orange Curtain”, “Reagan Country”) when a fellow American apparently took umbrage at my innocent little bumper sticker (“BUCK FUSH”). He came up beside me in his gold late-model Mustang convertible and vehemently extended his middle finger at me, all the while apparently yelling obscenities (which I couldn’t hear, as both of our windows were closed).

I blew him a kiss. (Yeah, I know that’s a weird thing for a straight guy to do; but I didn’t have a “TRY DECAFF” sign handy and it seemed like the best I could do.)

What a shame. Here, I try to spread a little amusment; and this poor chap will be angry all day.

Next time, just tell him to ho to gell…

#3

Wait, a straight guy in L.A.? No way, those are just myths.

#4

Which car? The Cherokee?

I have to say, an all-American icon like the Cherokee with an anti-Bush bumper sticker is a tad confusing. :slight_smile:

Having said that, the Mustang guy’s an idiot for taking such offense. And you’re an idiot for using your car as a political billboard. :stuck_out_tongue:

#5

Maybe you could have a sticker made with Calvin peeing on bush?

#6

How do you know he was reacting to your bumper sticker and not to something else? Did he specifically reference your sticker somehow?

#7

Yeah, maybe you’d slammed the door on the tail of a cute lil’ puppy dog and were dragging him down the freeway at 65-per.

#8

There are people who just take things much to seriously. People get real nuts when they are behind the wheel of a car.

#9

Yup. The Cherokee. Why would an anti-Bush sticker be confusing? The majority of Americans didn’t vote for him! :stuck_out_tongue:

And no, I’m not an idiot for using my vehicle as a political billboard. I’m a provocateur! :wink:

Funny you should mention that. Just yesterday I was thinking of a Calvin peeing on a bush, and was wondering if people would identify a bush.

Blunt: You could be right. Maybe he had a bad experience with a pilot once and was offended by my helicopter sticker, “FAA Licenced Pilot” license plate frame, and AOPA wings.

Ukulele Ike: It wasn’t that cute. :smiley:

Toddly: Indeed. There are very few things that I take seriously.

So you’re saying the whole “the size of a man’s truck is a reflection of the size of his penis” thing isn’t about the penis at all?

#11

That sounds really, really dirty.

#12

I’m from Orange County and I would have laughed my butt off. In fact, now I want a Buck Fush sticker for my car! And a Chuck Feney sticker for my mountain bike.

Hmm, if I put a Buck Fush sticker on the back of a BMW, would the Irony God’s head explode?

I got it from a vendor on the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica a couple/few months ago.
