What I just noticed… in my subscriptions list, it still says \*\*rimshotgdansk \*\* started this thread, even though he’s since morphed into **Genghis Bob** … Odd.

Moving right along…

There is a pretty common one on jeeps here:

“This Side Up” with an arrow pointing up.

I think the thread’s starter is stored as text, whereas a post’s poster is just stored as an ID. I would guess this is because there are many more posts, so storing an extra 30 characters times # of posts is impractical, but due to the forum front pages, the database needs to look up the name (and name only) of the poster starting a thread very often.

A few years ago my then-employer sent a bunch of us to St. Louis for about 4 months to straighten out a crisis. The only souvenier my boss brought back was a bumper sticker that read:

“Hell is a city much like St. Louis.”

Funny. Harsh, but funny.

I laughed out loud the first time I saw this one:

“Bambi makes cute sandwiches”

and the one that’s on my truck now:

“I may look weird but I’d kick your ass on Jeopardy!”

Black bumper sticker with white lettering, very depressed-looking font:

“Oh, crap. You’re gonna try and cheer me up now, aren’t you?”

I really wish I could find that one.

'm sure you can find it in [here](http://www.northernsun.com/cgi-bin/ns/search.html) but _you_ can use their antiquated search engine to find it.
