I feel inspired. I think I’ll make a bumper sticker of my own:

EAT SHIT  
(5 million flies can’t be wrong)

I saw a great one on a truck yesterday. It had me giggling all the way home.

**I dumped Jesus for someone fun.**

**Marvel** , would you explain? I know that’s a reference to the Church of the Subgenius, but I don’t follow the (K)…(W) stuff. 😕

“Nuke the gay unborn whales!”  
Also, get a set of stickers with a screw on them and paste the screw over the hearts on bumper stickers of people who (heart) their dogs, huskies, cats, etc.

I was wondering about that myself earlier today, when I saw it in someone’s .sig line. It just now clicked, though.

There is a glurge-y bumper sticker that goes:

Know Jesus, Know Peace  
No Jesus, No Peace

The one Patty saw spoofs that.

I have a badge that says that, which I picked up at a science fiction convention in the '80s. (It’s a play on the “55mph. Not just a good idea. It’s the law.” campaign that came out in the '70s.)

I also have a badge that says “E=MC[sup]2[/sup]±3db”.

It’s not a bumper sticker (not seen so much over here) but still made me smile. It’s a t-shirt slogan:

‘If I gave a shit you’d be the first person I’d give it to.’ 🙂

I used to have that “My Goddess Gave Birth To Your God” one. Pissed people off, let me tell you. I also had ones that said “Question Reality”, “Magic Is Afoot”, and various other Pagan sayings, as well as a couple pro-choice statements. One day I went to a Catholic church for a wedding, and when I came out the pro-choice stickers had been peeled off my car (rather badly, at that), but all the stickers referring to the possibility of another religion were left there. To this day, that puzzles me.

My friend recently bought a t-shirt that I would _love_ to put on a bumper sticker, but I get the feeling it might be a bad idea. It says “My Killer Robot Skullfucked Your Honor Student.”

Unfortunately, it doesn’t actually have a picture.

I wouldn’t say it made me happy, per se, but I saw one I really liked…

“Depression is just anger without the enthusiasm”

On my first car (a 1975 Volvo sedan, what a beast!) I had a bumper sticker that said,

“I’ll try anything once, twice if I like it.”

I got alot of comments and I haven’t seen one since the car died on me for the last time. It’s still my favorite, though.

I don’t get it. I saw a car with the back window covered in similar bumper stickers. Is it to protest the rigidity of Catholicism? Religion in general? (Or, are you really worshipping trees, etc?) Maybe it’s a Tolkien thing? I’m not religious, but I was hoping the 21st century brought us out of the Stone Age of mythology.

That’s right…tear down every positive influence left in our society. God forbid kids might strive to be something more than Bart Simpson…and gain some self-esteem and self-respect in this depraved world.

Put down the joystick, turn off the TV, and stop rebelling against society just because life demands you to exert yourself in order to succeed. We’ve all had it tough, baby, so don’t think you deserve some kind of special treatment. Go pound the pavement and earn a living instead of sponging of your parents or some significant other. That’s life, dude. You can do it if you try! And the best part is (big secret here) you don’t even have to be an honor’s student!, ok?

You do realize, do you not, that those “my child is an honor student” bumper stickers act as an incentive _against_ being an honors student? Granted, that’s not what they’re supposed to be, but most kids I’ve known (many of them, in fact, honors students) would be mortified if their parents put one on the car.

And **Draelin** , I’m not sure why the selective removal of bumper stickers should puzzle you. Most Catholics are a lot more troubled by folks having abortions than we are by folks practicing other beliefs. Mind you, I don’t condone peeling the bumper stickers off of anyone’s car, but if one were going to, I can see the logic.

I saw that bumper sticker on a Mobile Crime Investigation Unit rv-type thing for the Atlanta Police Department. It was parked at the Krispy Kreme on Ponce (no lie) where the police department was doing a charity event.

I used to have two bumper stickers on my old car (before it was totaled) that I really liked:  
[ul]  
[li]Oh bite me - it’s fun![/li][li]Ghandi would have smacked you in the head[/li][/ul]  
In the parking lot outside I just saw a bumper sticker (probably homemade) that had a picture of Strong Bad and it says “Do you use your powers for good or for AWESOME?”

And I just bought a T-shirt that says “Viva La Revolucion!” with a picture of Corey Feldman in Che Guevara’s beret. Makes me giggle just to think about it.
