I have a four bumper sticker limit. This is because several years ago I heard someone say that having a lot of bumper stickers was a great way to limit the size of your potential circle of friends.
So yesterday my third bumper sticker—a picture of Bush next to the words “DARN GOOD LIAR”—came off in favor of an Eagle Scout sticker and an Obama sticker. (I’d only had three up this point.)
The liar sticker came off because it’s getting to be old hat and, well, because he just isn’t a good liar. I thought maybe putting the Eagle Scout sticker next to it might give the liar sticker more heft—and keep someone from spitting tobacco juice on it—but it was looking worn and it needed to come down eventually anyway.
(Putting the Eagle next to Obama is my little way of saying that the Republican takeover of the Boy Scouts is a betrayal of Scouting and that there are still liberal Scouts out there.)
So now we have, left to right: Eagle Scout, Barak Obama, break light, Apple logo, and an EAV logo, for my neighborhood, East Atlanta Village.
I’m sorry, I can’t be your friend anymore. Four is just… too much. Which does raise the question: What am I doing up at seven in the morning posting on blogs? I *know* I shouldn’t do things like that. Ah, I know. My prefrontal cortex is asleep, hindering my moral judgment and decision-making abilities.
Hey, my old “dumpster” has tons of bumper stickers and good thing I have them or I would have thousands of friends rather than simply having hundreds (snicker snicker)
Mine aren’t political but my favorites are: 1) Remember who you wanted to be 2) Buy Art and 3) What’s right isn’t always popular and what’s popular isn’t always right and 4) Get Hooked on Cape Cod (has a fish on a hook). I think number 3 is essential when raising teenagers.
well, when and if i wash my pickup, i have a ‘jesus fish’ a ‘buddha fish’ to display side by side. maybe it will spark a thought (or at least confuse someone).
my guitar is covered in stickers since the purple heart incident (guitar crush injury overseas). fewer people are offended when it is a guitar. i have retained my friends.
