Open Thread – Ankh if You Love Isis
Thanks to Mudflatter G_Katz for sending in these great pictures of a vehicle (at least we think it’s a vehicle under all those stickers) spotted in a local shopping mall.
Do you have bumperstickers? Share your slogans in the comments. The only sticker on my car, is the classic No Pebble Mine sticker that can be seen on Alaska cars and trucks whose owners run the political spectrum.
[ small print ] go sarah go [large print] don’t come back gave away 500 of them all in alaska
Would you say Unitarian Universalist?
My bumper sticker rides my refrigerator door because I have no car, but the sentiment is priceless. It reads: “Thou Shalt Not Snivel”
LMD: The last bumper sticker about “pro life” and so on seems like the beliefs of so many Republicans. Probably was a bleeding Liberal that displayed that bumper sticker proudly!!
Even though you cannot remember the whole thing, I get the picture and it makes me proud!! Thanks for sharing!
Ahkh, ankh… Isis was my very best girl who I lost last year. She was and is still well loved.
Bumper stickers: It’s your hell You burn in it.
Not all problems have an American solution.
” Karma ” superimposed over a mastercard with “Wherever you go, there it is” underneath
Bush Bin Lyin
Only the Karma one will ever make it onto the bumper. I have a business.
I did see a great one that was long and something to the effect:
You can’t be pro-life and pro-war, anti-environment…and it went on. I wish I could remember the whole thing.
OK it is 12 minutes till midnight and I must say, looking forward to a somewhat quieter month.

When my niece bought her first pickup truck she also bought a bumper sticker that said “Silly boys, trucks are for girls!”
She ended up marrying a cowboy with a pickup truck…shocker!
My sister, a life-long Democrat, years ago had a bumper sticker that read, “Lobotomies for Republicans – It’s the Law!” That always cracked me up —
OH!!! And one of my favorite ones ever…. My SUV runs on Stem Cells! OMG, I nearly died when I saw that one!
Hey, that goes with the classic “Nuke the Gay Baby Whales”
I had a “Baby On Board” suction sticker on my horse trailer when I was hauling my mare and foal. Quite the conversation-starter at the truck stops!
My only bumper sticker is currently my Obama/Biden one. The one that Palin told people to pull me over for having.
I like “The Goddess loves you. Everyone else thinks you’re a jerk” on the right on the last picture 🙂
Saw a great one on a car in front of me last week : Sarah Palin: Like a Moron, only Dumber
This was in CT! I wanted to jump out at the light and shake their hand, but alas the light was green!
So, snowbound friends, how about a little trip to the Gulf of Mexico, courtesy of my friend Rustypants?

Enjoy!
Thank you for the video! You brought a huge smile to my husband’s beautiful face. He loves the ocean and the sounds of waves on the shore. Many a boy from Kansas joined the Navy and fell in love with the ocean/seas. Of course, he spent most of his time under the waves (a submariner), but also loved to scuba and sail when he was single. I am a late bloomer in my appreciation of the waves – mainly because I almost drowned twice, but I do love the sounds. We will probably watch and listen to this video a few times in the coming days just to remind us that other places still exist.
Reminds me of when I was out in California when I was about 16.I wanted so bad to see the ocean but every time we came over a hill I was afraid we would fall into the ocean.Then when I did get there they had watch for under tows I think it was, scared the heck out of me kept me out and along the shores only
My favorite one which is still on my truck was given to me by my boys when they were ‘challenging’ teenagers …
“Be nice to your kids. They’ll choose your nursing home!”.
Isn’t it the real truth though???
Wow Ms. Jolie started her own blog!!!
http://leaddogalaska.net/
Thanks! I’ve bookmarked it because it appears she has a lot to educate people about and has a wonderfully readable style. I am looking forward to checking in on that blog. I am truly impressed about how many Alaskans have quality blogs! Sure puts Kansans to shame.
Save the Earth,its the only planet with chocolate. Words to live by.I read the Daily Beast article about an unfriendly beast and her revisionist histrionics,again. I have mentioned this before,I believe,and if you have ever handled barb-wire you maybe can agree. Sarah Palin has the natural sweetness of a tangle of barb wire. It isn’t February yet.
I have helped string it and I will have to agree with ya Mike
I love my country but it’s time we start seeing other people.
I want one of those!!
“Make Fronds ~ Plant Palms”
@tigerwine, #58 re. Custer
My old favorite sticker sayings…
On history… “Custer wore Arrow Shirts”
On conservation… “Save water, shower with a friend”
and the meaning of life… “What if the Hokey Pokey is what it’s all about?”
…and I have a chrome-plastic fish with legs, named Darwin.
I’ll say this for bumper stickers: Not only do they provide some insight –frequently humourously– into the driver’s hobbies, causes, and views, they are great for letting other drivers know which cars should be given wide berth. Personally, any car with one of those “In case of Rapture, this car will be unmanned” stickers gets hyper-attention from me — clearly the driver’s mind has been turned to mush and they are a hazard on the roadway. beth.
reminds me of my fave: When the Rapture comes, can I have your car?
loki really like that one .It has been said so many times that the rapture was coming or the mother ship was coming to pick it’s people up that ya might have quite a few cars.
G Katz @ 39——thanks for the web site.
Reading all the comments on this blog—sounds like the same person “wrote” all of them??? Just wondering.
Well, I posted a comment, and I know I didn’t write the others, so there must be at least two of us.
(Would that be “@48”, Lacy Lady?)
I rather had the same impression. Mayhap it’s an after-school project of the 2 younger P daughters? They can praise Mama to the hilt (even get some disinformation out, if need be) and diss her at the turn-around. Too, it’s better to blog the ignorance and ugly ‘anonymously’ than to write things on your Fb page where the lamestream media will pick it up –as they are wont to do– and make comment on how uncouth you are. beth.
Oh, sure – that would be rather odd. I only wrote mine so that makes three – I think we have just all been posting her for a while and seem to have picked up a similar rhythm to our writing – I have noticed. – hummm
Today’s “Daily Kos” has a list of Blue Dogs (Dems) co-sponsoring the H.R 3, new definitions for rape.
Here they are:
“““““““
Dan Boren, OK-2*
Jerry Costello, IL-12
Mark Critz, PA-12
Joe Donnelly, IN-2*
Daniel Lipinski, IL-3
Mike McIntyre, NC-7*
Colin Peterson, MN-7*
Nick Rahall, WV-3
Mike Ross, AR-4*
Heath Shuler, NC-11*
* Blue Dog
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2011/1/28/939658/-Key-Blue-Dogs-back-plan-to-restrict-abortion-access-for-incest,-rape-victims
“““““““
The DK also asks: “Notice that on this list of ten Democrats who have agreed to cosponsor the GOP’s inhumane restrictions on abortion, not a single one is a woman?” Yeah, I noticed that — contrary to what many GOP/T-Baggers would have you believe, some women still are able to think for themselves and do what is right for ALL females. Pretty amazing, no? beth.
Some guys just feel like they have to legislate women.
When the penalities for making difficult choices regarding unwanted pregnancies include the fathers of those pregnancies, I expect the whole issue of assigning the terms “crime” and “illegal” and “penalty” might just quietly fade away.
Nope…that is *also* part of the long-term strategy — having the ‘father’ notified, too. The thinking being, if he says “no”, the woman won’t be able to kill her innocent baby [as the rwingers would say…or, as the sane and compassionate would say: it would prevent the female from exercising her constitutionally-upheld right to do with her body as she sees fit.] beth.
Why is Men should even have any say they don’t know or don’t want to know what rape really is or what it is all about.It’s like stalking ya get a restraining order but the police can’t do much unless they hurt ya and then it is too late.Let a few of them be raped and they would all sing a different tune
That’s why we can’t get anywhere those blue dogs always slow everything down Why they just don’t admit they are republicans in hiding I will never know.I sure hope it can be stopped.
The bumper sticker that sticks in my mind from the ’60’s was a beat up old van with SD license tag stopped at a light in Gainesville FL. Simply put: “Custer Had It Coming”. I have to agree.
Me too
I also love “Oh god help me be the person my dog thinks I am”
I don’t have any bumper stickers on my car but I do have one of those yellow plastic signs in the back seat side window. It says ‘Moose Crossing’ (with the obligatory silhouette of a moose) and ‘Alaska’ written underneath. My students all know which car is mine in the parking lot at school. Come to think of it, that’s probably not a good thing!
OK, I read this on a truck I was behind. Nearly tailgated him. ‘If you’re born again, do you have two belly-buttons?”
I like it and the one I saw, “I was born OK the first time”.
I would have too LOL This is another reason I love this site and the people on it.
100 healthy sled dogs slaughtered in Whistler, B.C.

just sickening
We have the obligatory college stickers and then my husband made a sign for our prius that read
drives great-less filling.
Besides my Boycot Jane Fonda sticker, “I’m for the Seperation of Church and Hate” is all that graces my truck. I saw one in Maine last fall that read “America is not a Democracy, it’s an auction”.
One of my favorites was from the 70’s when Archie Bunker was popular:
Bunker in ’72 – Chaos in ’73
We may need that one again next year with a different name inserted!
the only bumper sticker I have says “Welcome to America, Now Speak Cherokee”
It generally gets bizarre comments….
I speak Cherokee,Iowa that is. County seat of Cherokee County-right in the center of Rethuglican stronghold,Western Iowa.
How can ya stand it mike from Iowa?? I hope ya have a few like minded people around ya. I know I have at least one neighbor and some one up the road because when someone stole my Obama sigh they bought me one for my window.
And well it should. It really irritates me when people say we want OUR country back when history shows we all but stole it from the Native people
Witches Parking Only – All Others Will Be Toad.
I like that one!!
Ha – 🙂
I was booted out of a city park for my bumper sticker a few years ago. =( “Rush needs to get laid”. I wrote a letter to the city, they said, sorry.
Laid over in Chicago? Airline jingo?
The park ranger seemed to think it meant something else. =)
I have two: Stand Up for Lasting Change, and Be Nice to Me Or I’ll Put You In My Novel (which is from national Novel Writing Month).
I would be remiss not to mention one of my all time faves:
Caution: I brake for hallucinations!
I have no car, therefore no bumper stickers. Enjoyed all of the above.
My stickers are on my guitar case, but I have a really old unused sticker which I had hanging around and finally stuck up inside my garage which says: America: Love It and Improve It!
Buck Fush
During the 2006 election, I made up my own sticker which said:
No More i, i, i, i’s !!!!*
*insane, immoral,incompetent, idiots
Just when I thought all the best ones had been named (or on that car in the photos), here you come with your original – which is perfect for where I live – solid right-wing (with a few progressives like my husband I – okay, more than that, but lots of others did not vote in the 2010 election so I am counting them out). Love your original sticker. It still fits – particularly apt for the Tea Party.
My favorite — on the truck of a teenager in the neighborhood — “Don’t worry, I saw this in a movie once.”
LOL would be funny if they had one that said:
“Don’t worry, I did this on a video game once!”
Yes except people already blame everything on something else as it is,but I bet it would make people back off LOL
Another article on Reagan also interesting The Reagan Centennial: The Gipper Reconsidered
Interesting take on Reagan and his years in office http://www.politicsdaily.com/2011/01/29/ronald-reagan-at-100-the-darker-legacy/
The only one I’ve ever had said “Arms are for hugging” – bought it when I saw it on a friend’s bumper.
Like this one, too, but I fear the people who love guns like Palin won’t get it.
Just what the web needs, another pro-Palin site. NOT!
http://www.alaskans4palin.com/
Got it in before the February deadline!
Wow – are these folks in touch with reality? They are making the Koolaid.
I read the five “essays” on Palin. OMG – how sad.
Worse, though were the comments – particularly on the first entry where this blog and posters such as Linda were attacked. Honestly, most of the people talked about how awful liberals were to Palin and then they turn around and say awful things about Palin’s critics. No consistency there, as usual.
Thanks for the link though it made me a bit depressed to think that in Alaska of all places there are people who still think Sarah is swell.
BTW, I am not taking the pledge because Sarah is too dangerous to ignore. Good luck with keeping your calm and distance during February. I know I could not do it so I won’t even try. She just can’t stay out of the news and I think she’s planning some doozies for the next month.
I don’t know how you waded through those essays, but you are stronger than I am. What’s with the “duct tape her face” comment, I wonder. Certainly has images popping into my head!
I’m not really taking the pledge, because I agree with you that she’s still too dangerous to ignore. I have tried to cut back on my consumption of any-thing-and-every-thing Palin, however, just to keep from getting suckered in by the truly frivolous distractions.
Me, too. Only the really egregious stuff (and there’s enough of that to keep us warm in the storm) will get my attention.
Stay safe and warm, G Katz. I think I recall you said you were near the KC-metro area or, I could be hallucinating. Just made a last minute run to Price Chopper to get some sauerkraut (don’t know why that become an obsession this afternoon but it became an overwhelming need and dear husband indulged since we had to get out and mail one bill payment which, of course, I realized might not get mailed in the next few days). So long as the electricity stays on, we can stay warm and eat well.
I may not even think of SP for a day or two while watching the snow swirl and listening to the winds blow.
SARAH WHO?
I read that site yesterday and immediately noticed a glaring error ….
Someone wrote claiming they first heard of Palin when she was Mayor of Wasilla, and their colleagues were talking about the woman from Wasilla running for Governor. Very, very wrong there, little bot.
There were an unsuccessful run for Lt Gov, a brief time as a commissioner, and periods of unemployment in between mayor and governor.
So there is at least one phony little bot attached to that site.
Some of my favorites, past and present:
“I found Jesus. He was in my trunk when I got back from Tijuana.”
“Don’t Believe Everything You Think”
“If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong”
“I reject your reality and substitute my own”
“I may be schizophrenic, but at least I have each other”
“Whatever hits the fan will not be distributed evenly”
“What if there were no hypotentical questions?”
“Just because I don’t care doesn’t mean I don’t understand. – Homer Simpson”
“No matter how good he looks, some other woman is sick and tired of putting up with his shit.”
Another good list good thing I swallowed my gatorade especially the first and the last.
My favorite is: “Honk if you love Jesus — Text if you want to meet him.”
Love that. I think I need that one. Seems like half the people I see are on their phone or texting.
Nancy a really good one I will have to look for that one thanks LOL
My fav sticker would probably have to be:
I see DUMB people!
I don’t have a car BUT I have a sticker on my Quad and it says:
And what difference do YOU make?
I love that one! I am going to have to look for it!
No bumper stickers on either of our cars – hubby really doesn’t like them. I do have a decal in my back window, though – Kansas Jayhawk Alumni. And I have a Disneyland license plate thing.
Rock, chalk, jayhawk!
DD1 received her BA there in Anthropology. Lived in one of the scholarship homes and loved every minute of her time in Lawrence.
Me too. I lived in McCollum and then hubby and I had an apartment while he was still in school and I was teaching in Eudora for six years. I miss Lawrence. It’s probably the only place in Kansas where I would want to live again. Only this time I want a place with air conditioning. The summers are unbearable.
I don’t have any on my own car because I don’t want to damage my car, and I’m afraid of someone showing disagreement with a baseball bat (or worse) on my windshield. Apparently, this owner isn’t worried about trade-in value.
My faves here are “BORN OK THE FIRST TIME!” “Am I Self-Centered or is it just Me?” and the math-related ones “There Are 3 Kinds of People—Those who can count and those who can’t” and “4 out of 3 People Have Trouble with Fractions.”
I understand your hesitation due to potential vandalism. Have a ton of stickers on the rear-end of my little car (not just the bumper, also the trunk) because, during the Bush years I put up a couple and had people key the pain so just started covering the entire area with bumper stickers. Almost every time I come out to the car from shopping or the library there’s someone reading the stickers. Now, though, almost everyone congratulates me for my liberal “rear-end.”
I won’t list them all here – too many, but it was one way I stopped the vandals. They would have to spend too much time trying to get to them all – besides, some of them make anyone laugh.
Another bonus: the media in my area ran stories about how some psychologist said to beware of people who put bumper stickers on their car because they were more apt to have road rage. I don’t, but people sure have stopped tailgating me! I’ve been rear-ended at stop signs a couple of times years ago (people just too busy with their phones or whatever to notice a red light or stop sign), but now — no problems (so far, so good). They tend to stop about four feet away and gradually creep up (to read the stickers I think).
Love the ones you list, G Katz! (and all the others mentioned earlier as well).
er -key the paint, not the pain, though it was painful to see what they had done because the car was almost new back then.
I supplied the “t” free of charge! Your story reminds me of another bumper sticker: “If you can read this, you’re too close!”
Always a good one and seenh very often here
I think I have mentioned before that My daughter and son-in-law took my Obama stickers off without my knowledge when they went to Memphis and down to LA. I asked about them cause I had two or three different ones and they said the same thing they were not only afraid about damage to my van but for their lives also.They went to the Mardi Gras(sp) so had to go thru several red states and did not want to get run off the road.
My kids and I used to have a running list of phrases we thought would make good bumper stickers or t-shirts but mostly they only made sense to us because they came about during really weird conversations. Two favorites are : ” DARE TO DELVE ! ” and ” Hobos Don’t Eat Babies ”
We also had ” Ih bee kay. Schmoke veedeer day ” but that’s a story for another time. It was coined many years ago and if you say it to my 22 year old daughter she will still to this day fall over , laughing hysterically.
It wasn’t a bumper sticker, but a t-shirt I bought for my daughter. She didn’t wear it for a while, and then she started wearing it alot when she decided she liked the message. It had a small jar in the middle with this printed across it:
“Labels are for jars. I am not a jar.”
My daughter would so wear that t-shirt! I’ll be sending it her way .
Really love that where did ya find the T shirt..I got to tell ya in some places where I live ya wouldn’t dare wear and Obama t-shirt and I have several because for real someone might shoot ya.
From the linked article re: Blah-Blah’s screech to the Safari Club:
“Here’s how I figure it. Remember that weird guy in Wisconsin was so angry, so upset, watching a Palin win slot after slot each week on Dancing with the Stars that he shot Bristol through his TV? He blasted his Panasonic? Well, I’m thinking, ‘Imagine more gun control. Then he’d have to attack his Panasonic with a butter knife.'”
Ummm — Is the woman so incredibly daft that she’s incapable of comprehending that the man attacking her daughter “with a butter knife” is a gazillion times more preferable than his shooting her with a gun?
Is she completely blind to the fact that it wasn’t the Panasonic TV the man was so furious at, but rather, her daughter? And that if he’d had even half a chance, he would have shot her daughter instead of the TV?
Her elevator really doesn’t go all the way to the top floor, does it? She truly doesn’t understand that in making her cutesy little comment about “that weird guy in Wisconsin” having to express his anger/aggression/agitation/disgust “with a butter knife” [as opposed to a, you know, gun], she’s totally “refudiating” the call she’s making for “the White House” NOT to place controls on guns, does she? Is she really that stupid? beth.
–on a side note re: The Safari Club: Years ago, our family got an end-of-year greeting card from a fellow who’d been to our home on his way up into the mountains to hunt Marco Polo sheep. A super nice chap. The photo-card he sent was of him posed in a kneeling position with his rifle in one hand and his trophy held up by the other hand by one of its magnificent curled horns (a trickle of blood from its nostrils puddled on the foreground); the words “Peace on Earth” were printed across the top. I’ve oft wondered if he saw the irony. b.
Greg Mortenson (Three cups of Tea, Stones into Schools, Central Asia Institute – if you don’t know who he is, you should!) and his wife did a christmas card showing them holding guns and wearing bandoliers, saying Peace on Earth or something like that. He was joking as he is is one of the biggest proponents of peace that hasn’t won a Nobel Peace Prize yet. The picture is in his first book. Anytime I can plug Greg Mortenson, I will

Done!
They got 5 votes from me daily, including today! 😉
Just back from voting (was posting daily reminders here until I got sick). We’re in the top 5 as of now, so that’s good news. Our votes are only part of the decision, so I’m hoping our support is enough to get them a closer look from the judges.
Done!
Love the bumper sticker & car name stories. Glad I’m not the only one!
My first car was a little ’72 Corolla, which ended up named Nadoo (my sister thought it was just a cute little “nadoo” – I’m still confused…); then there was the VW high-topped camper named the Bed Bug; my “Leonardo” Lancia; “Bessie” the Chevy wagon; a Suburban known as the “Tank”, and finally my little yellow Saturn coupe, now known as “Rubber Ducky”.
I felt guilty about the Suburban, but it was a gift from the heavens at the time. That same year, we rescued a 13-year-old Appaloosa mare named Apple, who became the love of my then-13-yo daughter’s life. We used the Tank to haul the YMCA Equestrian team to shows. Ultimately, my very eco-minded daughter got a bumper sticker from a local tack shop which said, “Save Gas… Ride a Horse!” and stuck on the back of the Tank. We loved the irony!
My bumper sticker reads, “Like Jesus would carry a gun and vote Republican”. This week someone left a note on my windshield, “Oh–yeah–like Jesus would kill innocent babies and support homosexuality”.
Inasmuch as I am from Boston, two of my favorite bumper stickers were from the early seventies and were Boston related.
1.) Phil Esposito was a center for the Boston Bruins in the 1970’s and he shattered the NHL (National Hockey League) goal scoring record in 1972 with 76 goals. He was known for scoring “garbage goals” (i.e. goals from rebounds off the goalie). At the same time a popular saying was “Jesus Saves”. The bumper sticker read, “Jesus Saves and Espo Scores On The Rebound”.
2.) In 1972, Massachusetts was the only state that voted for George McGovern in the Presidential election which re-elected Nixon. The bumper sticker read, “Don’t Blame Me, I’m From Massachusetts”.
I remember the “Don’t blame me, I’m from Massachusetts”. Was it the first “don’t blame me…” bumper sticker? I’ve seen that phrase used since then.
I’ve remember fondly one that I haven’t seen for a very long time: “Beam me up Scotty- there’s no intelligent life down here,”
I have “God bless the whole world- no exceptions,”
Hi AKM – My bumper stickers are: “Ohio University”, “Maui Dive Shop”, “Marine Corps” (Dad was in Korean War) and “My Box My Choice” – which a lot of people don’t get – ’nuff said!
Saw these two bumper stickers on a truck in central PA once: “Abortion Kills” and “I Support the Death Penalty.” Couldn’t decide if they were being ironic or stupid.
I have never understood that one myself ,how someone can say they are pro-life and also say they support the death penality.I really think they don’t get that the two don’y match up.
Bumper stickers-None on mine-although on my fridge …
-Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty & well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, totally worn out & proclaiming, “Wow what a ride!”
-“always make new mistakes”
Work as if you don’t need the money. Love as if you have never been hurt. Dance as if no one is watching.
..the last one, when the mood strikes, I’ll start dancing a lil’ jig.Then my dau. always shouts ” Mom’s possessed again!”
Glad to hear your still among the living TCW- hope you can feel up to your usual “cawing” soon!
My fridge sticker says “I intend to live forever…..So far, so good.”
Sorry, but I had to post this from she-who-must-not-be-named-even-though-she-is-the-center-of-the-universe:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/31/sarah-palin-media-boycott-blamed-egypt_n_816159.html
Yes, indeed, all the world leaders would have pointed to her for this, right?
As one of the HP posters commented: “Dear Sarah: This is an uprising in Cairo, Alexandria in Egypt…..NOT a Tea-party convention in Cairo/ Illinois, Alexandria/ Virginia.” Gotta love it! beth.
You wrote hp (clearly referencing Huffington Post), but MY mind saw hp = Harry Potter.
Why? Because $P is clearly Bellatrix Lestrange, that’s why.
I think Bachmann fits the Bellatrix role. SP is Draco’s Mom. Or Delores Umbridge.
I vote Delores Umbridge, who’s pretty sure she’s taking over the world.
Thanks – LOL
that’s brilliant!
I love it!
Here is the text from one of the ads on that page.
Stop Liberals from censoring con- servatives as done to Sarah Palin. http://www.TheTeaParty.net
Funnier than Benny Hill!
I don’t have any bumper stickers on my van. I am afraid it would invite vandalism.
I did have a poster taped to the back when my grandson was presenting a Thanksgiving Benefit Concert . His picture —-date-place-time–tickets on Sale & etc.
I saw people stop and read when parked at the local grocery, which tells me that people do read what you have on your vehicle.
“Relax. This Ain’t the Mainland.” But, obviously, it is.
The other side of the bumper has a custom made sticker:
“Relax. This Ain’t the Hearthland.”
I have my bumper stickers on magnets, not commited enough (to my truck) to stick ’em, I like to switch out..here are a few;
Was Columbus a Terrorist or an illegal Alien?
Say No to Drugs, Don’t eat farmed Fish
…and then I have an old ’06 $arah Palin for Governor campaign sticker,(its the rill dill don’tcha know;)
It has been revamped with the help of a red sharpie & lil’ splice~n~dice, it now reads,
“Sarah Failin’ o’ error”
also too, my truck sports a silver chubby trucker mudflap man.
Truck is named Bubba
LOL
my hubby’s truck has a sticker that says “bubba’s boss”…. And he has a “Say No to Drugs, Don’t eat farmed Fish” as well. His truck is named “Princess” and is almost entirely used for working with the commerical fishing boat.
:~)))) my hubby sez he will be on the dock look out for “Princess”.
We have a couple ol’ classic magna snickers from ’04,
it aint over until your brother counts the votes
and
the only Bush I trust is my own
they are currently residing on a toolbox in our shed, ever ready should Jeb get the GOP nod…not that I would have Bubba wearing that to pick up the offsprings from school, mind you…
I love me a chubby trucker man – he’s a redhead, though.
I looovvve bumper stickers.
My own car has “Alaskan Grown”, “Tina Fey For Govenor”, “Watch Out For Motorcycles”,
“Upset? Speak to the Starship Commander behind the controls.”.
The teenager car, a 98 subaru, has a bumper sticker much older than the teens who drive the car or the car itself. “annoy Prevo, think for yourself”…
Another good one but ya will have to keep away from his people just to be on the safe side.Hopefully that wouldn’t really be something ya had to worry about.
That’s the one I have, “Watch Out for Motorcycles.”
I had a “Goddess is Coming and is She Pissed;” not sure where it is now.
Speaking of bumper sticker slogans–Alaska’s biggest bunny-boiler continues to speak out!
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/2011/01/palin-is-not-walking-back-retr.html?wprss=44
Palin is not walking back ‘retreat, reload’ catchphrase, says aide
Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin’s aide Rebecca Mansour is firing back after the Reno Gazette-Journal reported that, instead of her usual catchphrase “don’t retreat, reload” Palin said to a Nevada audience “don’t retreat, stand tall.”
The Post’s Chris Cillizza and Aaron Blake report that, in a tweet, Mansour wrote that Palin had used her original wording:
Yesterday in Reno Gov. Palin did say her trademark line “Don’t retreat, reload.”
Good. Stick with that phrase, Palin. I hope it ensures your place in history as one of the lesser lights, alongside Joe McCarthy (but hopefully with less damage done to America.).
Insufferable
My local fave, from an exceedingly gunslinging county just to the south of us, “Shoot pool, not people! Hillsboro Pool Hall.”
“Cthulu for President! Why settle for the lessor evil?”
Best. Bumper. Sticker. Eva.
Thing 1 has crocheted Cthulu dolls for friends and uses one for attached to a keychain!
Got extra experience points at D&D for that one.
My daughters love those.
I H.P. Love Craft-ing it!
The only one I now have is my Mudflats.com sticker and that stays on
I don’t put them on my car but my daughter has
No Farms No Food
and On my fridge is Sarah Doesn’t SPeak For Me
I’m hoping there’s some context for the Confederate flags on the rear of that vehicle…
Our only bumper sticker is “Our beagle is smarter than your honor student.” In its early days, the message resulted in some funny looks.
I always wondered about the “honor student” stickers. What happens if the following month, the child is not on the honor roll? And what about the sibling or siblings who work hard but will never be on an honor roll? How would they feel? I preferred the stickers that just boosted the school.
Now an honor pooch or kitty or moose, now that’s different!
Speaking of she-who-must-not-be-named-next-month, I’m not sure if it’s a good idea for the mainstream media to give her a month’s pass. She can stir up a lot of trouble. Look at the nonsense from her Fox comments on President Obama’s SOTU speech. Her ignorance simply glowed and no one, except bloggers and Chris Matthews, commented on it. I’m willing to keep relatively quiet but I want to pay close attention – to see what she’s getting away with.
I’m with Andrew Sullivan: no surrender! Keep putting this idiot’s idiocy out there for everyone to document. She is willfully ignorant, therefore more dangerous than someone who cannot be educated.
Mine is “Obamanos!”, which in border Spanglish is “Let’s go Obama!”
I’ve seen that one – I like your explanation better because I thought it meant Vamoose Obama – which I do not want him to leave us.
Glad the license plate is blacked out, because it would be hard to find that vehicle. Wouldn’t be surprised if the same person runs Diane’s Detox, judging from the website.
Quite enjoyed “Psychics do it with spirit”.
On my truck:
“Dissent is the highest form of Patriotism…Jefferson”
“Friends don’t let friends drink Starbucks”
“Question Authority” (an old classic)
“If you don’t like abortion, don’t have one”
“My labrador retriever is smarter than your honor student”
“Dang…A Flat!” (“Tundra” readers will know this one)
“If you aren’t outraged, you haven’t been paying attention” (thought I wouldn’t need this after Bush
left)
“These colors…don’t run…the world”
My truck would fit with yours. On the back window: “Clueless is no excuse”
all good ones SendLawyersGunsAndMoney
Another favorite of mine….”Come to the dark side….We have cookies!”
For years my favorite bumper sticker was “Property of the Klingon Rollerball Team”.
I have one bumper sticker on my truck:
“Buckle up!
It makes it harder for the aliens to suck you out of your car.”
I also have a magnetic sticker extolling the virtues of a local fire department.
I DO occasionally tape to my rear window these:
“Madness takes its toll. Please have exact change.”
“Pillage…THEN burn!” (All my gaming buddies understand–I take it down when I’m playing a lawful good character. Then I am glum, as I cannot loot my fallen comrades bodies.)
I gave this one to a friend,
“There is a Hell. I work retail!” (He’s also a deacon)
If I had a car, the “Buckle Up” / alien sticker would be on it!
I second that emotion.
I third it and the “There is a Hell. I work retail!” (He’s also a deacon) is a good one I also worked retail for about four years and boy people can get antsy
I know it’s Feb but some places in the world are not observing the she-who-must-not-be-named moratorium. It’s always nice to see how that person represents herself–WTF is all this BS?
http://politico-junkie.blogspot.com/2011/01/uk-palin-says-bs-to-tabloid-claim.html
Bellatrix who?
It’s only the 31st here.
Such class…and it’s all LOW!
Sorry, just couldn’t resist, knowing that February signals a muffled silence on Palin issues, you simply have to read the following from the Sarah’s Safari speech:
“She admits that she ‘threw a little politics’ into her recent TLC reality show by dragging the crew to the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge on the pretense of hunting caribou. Her real purpose? Showing viewers that ANWR is a ‘barren, desolate, less-than-pristine place’–perfect, in other words, for lots of new oil drilling. ‘If a caribou needs to be sacrificed for the sake of energy independence,” she adds, ‘I say, ‘Mr. Caribou, maybe you need to take one for the team.'”
I hope Alaskans will respond to her comments on ANWR and her attitude towards wildlife vs. drilling.
Awfully tired of the stench those flaming britches put off…
This is the second time the barren wasteland routine has been drug out – that I’ve heard about…
There was a phony trip with Greta too…
“The US Fish and Wildlife Service has stated that the 1002 area has a “greater degree of ecological diversity than any other similar sized area of Alaska’s north slope.” ”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_Refuge_drilling_controversy
” There is currently controversy over whether possible future oil drilling on the coastal plains of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, encompassing much of the Porcupine Caribou calving grounds, will have a severe negative impact on the caribou population or whether the caribou population will grow.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porcupine_caribou
“Canada Warns Arctic Drilling Would Violate U.S.-Canada Treaty ”
http://www.ens-newswire.com/ens/sep2005/2005-09-21-03.asp
Whatever the arguments for and against opening ANWR,( FEDERAL LANDS ) whatzername hasn’t got one… a real one. Just the usual fanning the flames of her own pants on fire routine…
Its not February til tomorrow. Rave on!
ok- here’s a bumper sticker for you :
Life is complex, Simplistic Paradigms are not
EVERY serious player in the ANWR conversation knows darn well that there are a multitude of issues surrounding wildlife, fragile cold ecosystems, etc. There is no value in letting the simplistic notion of “barren wasteland” even hit the doorway, let alone land on the discussion table.
Pfffft on dumbing the argument down to the level a protozoa could understand.
Oh- for me February will also include not reading or watching anything as well …so for those who will be manning the fire hoses during Feb , here’s an energy booster
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkNAHXLC39Y
I wonder if that caribou–or that woman hunting guide, for that matter–consider ANWR as a “barren wasteland?”
Not about stickers and not funny at all, but important. If you were interested in Sarah’s Safari speech, here is one of the most comprehensive articles on it.

It’s from The Daily Beast. You will learn more than you want to know about the event, the members and their lifestyles, and their unbridled support of the Quitter Queen. She gave one of those kitchen-sink speeches but used guns as the core – talking about how that guy who shot his TV was “shooting Bristol” (oh my, another victim image), slamming President Obama, fear-mongering (he may take away our Second Amendment rights), and states rights. She did mention the Tucson victims and of ” . . . watching in amazement reports of Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, pulling for her, so thankful that her life was spared.”
Nothing new really and certainly nothing improved.
Gross me out.
She even cites her children’s Christian names as evidence of her outdoorswoman cred. “Piper was named after Todd’s airplane, the Piper cub, which gets us to the hunting grounds,” she explains. “Bristol, Bristol Bay fishing grounds. Willow, a local sport-fishing stream. Trig, I pull the TRIG-ger. Track… I remember when we told my dad that his grandson was named Track, he said, ‘Like TRACKing an elephant?'”
There is something seriously disturbed about this. Of all the explications she’s given about her children’s names, this has got to be the sickest; I would hazard the woman is mentally unwell. beth.
Even worse, people are paying for it. Fee is still $100,000?
So what do we make of Bristol’s choice of a name for her son, Tripp? And then that rumor turns up that Todd had an affair with some woman whose last name is Tripp. Odd, that one.
I would argue that all her spawn have GIVEN names, not Christian names. A small point, but I’ve never encountered a track, bristol, willow, piper, or trig in that particular good book. No Todd, either. I’m no biblical scholar, but I’m pretty sure the only biblical name in that immediate family belongs to her.
“Imagine, though—imagine making life even more miserable for the liberals who want that gun control,”
i swear to gawd sometimes it seems that that’s really what republicans want more than anything – to make liberals miserable. never mind what’s best for the country, the world, the planet. it’s so infuriating.
she makes me sick. i don’t know how many times i’ve made that observation.
Did you read yesterdays post about Ayn Rand? One thing I did not know was that one of the ideas from one of the novels was for the “haves” at the top to go on strike. It really seems like that is what these Cons want. Make our society fail. They don’t care because I got mine, F the rest of you.
hmm – going on strike at the top, eh? Sounds like the Party of No strategy, doesn’t it? Vote no, do nothing except say no to everything, develop no new ideas. Get paid but do virtually nothing to advance the common good (oops – the GOP doesn’t like that either, right?)
And the important part was that once they destroyed the rest of us, they left. They all flew off to somewhere else (can’t remember where, as I read this over 40 years ago). I remember that I was very engrossed in the book, but I didn’t like the ending. It took me a few years to realize just what it was I didn’t like – nothing that Rand stood for is what I believe or the way I live my life. In retrospect, I’m surprised I finished the book. But maybe that is just an example of peer pressure – everyone was reading it and talking about it and I didn’t want to be left out of the discussion. Actually, I’m glad I did read it, but I just wish I’d had more information about Rand and her agenda at the time.
I keep hoping that the tea partiers and the strident GOPers will just leave one day. We’ll wake up and WE’LL have our country back. There are over 700 islands in the Caribbean. Can we all chip in and buy and few and send them there, as long as they promise not to come back?
One more thought on her “message” to her followers. The “they are going to take all you guns way” meme.
By staying silent on the topic of Gun Safety the majority of us have been effectively “shut up” and are sitting down so that Scarah and her ilk can convince more that maybe the guns are going to be rounded up.
I have talked to people who think the Dems do have the best programs for the country but they are afraid that their guns are going to be taken away so they vote R. This really need to be addressed by politicians because staying silent is not working.
Yeah, when Clinton was running for the first time, one of my friends told me — quite worried and entirely sincere — “If Clinton wins they’re gonna come and take all your guns away.”
That was in 1992. Clinton did win. Twice. Nobody came and took his guns away.
This is nothing more than an advertising campaign by gun manufacturers to panic people into buying more guns. It works every time. They didn’t learn in 1992, didn’t learn in 1996, and they same stupid trick is still fooling them.
You are right on your observations A fan from CA but some ya just can’t make them believe.They just buy more guns..I agree the dems need to get it out that they don’t want to take all guns away just limit them so those who are violent or mentally ill or felons cannot have access to them.I had a friend(somewhat) don’t know his politics.but He wanted a machine Gun so he just went and bought one.Who in the world or rather what in the world would you use it for but for killing a lot.Thats a was Gun not something you can use for hunting.Remids me he is a face3 book friend and I should ask him if he still has it or maybe not??
Remember that weird guy in Wisconsin was so angry, so upset, watching a Palin win slot after slot each week on Dancing with the Stars that he shot Bristol through his TV? He blasted his Panasonic? Well, I’m thinking, ‘Imagine more gun control. Then he’d have to attack his Panasonic with a butter knife.'”
She sort of, no pun intended, shoots herself in the foot with this example. Had the guy not had a gun, but only a butter knife, he’d still have a television that works. It might be a little scratched up, but nothingn worse.
And the same goes for all the people who decide to settle their differences with family and friends. If they didn’t have guns to use when they get angry, there would be a lot fewer deaths when families or friends fight with each other.
Hmm, it shouldn’t all have ended up in italics – just the first paragraph that was a quote from her speech. Sorry.
I was raised Irish Catholic and so have a lifetime’s worth of wallowing in guilt, deserved or not. Now that I’m grown up (mostly!) and don’t set foot near a church unless forced by death or marriage, I understand the power that guilt held over me. I recognize how much damage it can do to people when used indiscriminately to prevent people from thinking for themselves.
However, I also understand that a small amount of guilt can be a healthy thing when it is used to prod one’s conscience into keeping one on the straight and narrow.
I simply cannot imagine being able to lie the way the Quitter Queen does and feel absolutely no remorse, embarrassment or guilt. Even when those lies have been proven false, often by her own words, she STILL repeats them ad nauseum, winking and smirking the whole time.
Sigh….I suppose that’s what it’s like to live without a conscience.
(Personally, I’ll take the conscience, even if it comes with a side order of a little guilt!)
I love my Mac and they have an Apple store in town, now. Wow, what service. I have lessons for the Mac at work, and I took a friend. We both took our laptops. They took one look at how hers ran, set her up with a Genius bar appt. right after our lesson, and the Genius guy looked at it. He told her basically that she had a lemon of a machine, it was under warranty and they’d give her a new one. Just name the day. She did; they did, and they moved all her stuff. She got an upgraded machine as well, as they didn’t make her old one any more.. Just like that. Without her asking.
And the lessons have been invaluable.
Whoa! How’d this end up here!
The lack of conscience is explained by the fact that she’s a sociopath. Sociopaths lie even when it’s clear what they’re saying is a lie. Read The Sociopath Next Door by Martha Stout, Ph.D. Very informative. My boyfriend’s now ex-wife, a sociopath, brought a Verizon wireless phone bill to court as evidence that he was harassing her by phone, with all of “his” calls to her circled. She had circled all the TO (not even from) 000-000-0086 numbers. For you non-Verizon folks, that’s the number that appears on your bill when you call your own voice mail. 51 voice mail calls she said were from him, right in court. So yeah, they lie just to lie. (Fortunately, BF brought his own bills and was able to show the judge she was lying.)
Best entry from the comments section: ” … Just when the civilized world thought it wasn’t possible for Special Needs Barbie to do Stupid any more effectively, the gal just surprises us all.”
Daily Beast is always a good read, in my experience.
G’morning, mudpups.
*gazing around, still dazed and confused, but smiling as I emerge from a long fever dream*
Spent the last week shivering under the covers, trying to keep anything down, unable to tolerate light or motion…some wicked sick. (If thatcrowwoman has the flu, does that make it teh Bird Flu?)
Feels like a terrible horrible no good very bad head cold now, so setting my cruise control. Up and around and must get back to school today…no more sick days, and bills to pay, eh?
I don’t remember much, except DH Happy insisting I “drink this”…and snatches of stories from public radio. My reaction to President Obama’s Sputnik reference was…science! math! education! When I was in 6th grade I wanted to be an astronaut…even applied to be the Teacher in Space. (mmmm WTF! Do-nuts! did not occur to me at all, go figure.) Tunisia. Egypt. Definition of rape. Snow storms. Just saying No to Bristle’s fee speech…Lots to catch up on.
Love the bumper snickers. Lots of vehicles here sport “Salt Life” stickers…makes sense on the Gulf Coast, right? None on our vehicle, but I’ve seen one around town with a fish skeleton that says “Crude Life.” (Yeah, BP, we’re still talking about you!)
Have a wonderful warm and lovely day, all. Good to be back amongst the living.
L’Shalom,
thatcrowwoman
Welcome back, TCW !! Fever Fog is full of insights, visions and journeys all its own, isn’t it ? Rising out of it and back into the fully 3-D realm is always an interesting transition for me.
Glad to hear you’re on the mend and hope you’re back to fully functioning, soon !
I was getting worried, and was going to insist to Himself that we needed to leave and drive to Florida and see about you. Only except for the monster ice storm that is due in at noon, which is going to be followed by a foot of snow and sleet. Which is going to be followed by 60 mph winds. I was willing to head out and tend to you in Florida should you need tending. But, no. Sheesh.
The only sticker I have on Mrs. Merdle is the Episcopal Shield. My “Still Pissed at Yoko” sticker is in the glove box, though. Does that count?
I love that you name your car! My folks did that, and we did it early-on when we were driving a sports car. Now, not so much. Maybe we will start up again because we keep our cars so long that they really do become part of the family.
I like to name my cars too. My last vehicle was a cherry red Windstar named Queen Victoria and my current one is a dark charcoal grey Nissan Quest named Sir Charles (Barkley). (I’m a basketball fan).
I have several bumper stickers in my office: Alan Grayson’s “Grayson.Truth.”, “We are creating enemies faster than we can kill them,” “Save a life, don’t knit and drive!!” (also a knitter), an old “Impeach Bush” sticker, but my favorite is in my husband’s office: “Lord, save me from your followers.”
One incongruous thing on that car above, did you notice it also has two Confederate flags on it? That doesn’t seem to jibe with the message sent by the rest of them. Things that make you go “Hmmm?”
Yes! The still pissed at Yoko sticker on the glove box DEFINITELY counts. I know this flies in the face of dogma, but John’s songwriting essentially turned to crap once they hooked up, and the Beatles were *his* band (in his words).
Glad you are feeling better. We had something similar in mid-December. Only ours lasted about 72 hours with mild relapses for a several weeks. Nasty business that. Sure am glad you pulled through. Take it easy because, as I said, relapses are fairly common with whatever this is.
Grateful you are not in the path of these huge winter storms coming into our area (Midwest) today through Wednesday. Just hear it will be from -12 to -14 on Thursday morning, up to a foot to a foot and a half of snow with winds gusting to 35 mph Tuesday. Meteorologists said we could have snow drifts from three to six feet deep! Florida is sounding mighty fine about now!
((((crow)))) !!!!
glad you are back among us Crow. take good care.
Welcome back Crow! Now that its nearly behind you, the next 11 months should be healthy :~) That is what my Grammy used to say about January bugs & bouts.
Thanks for sharing Grammy’s wisdom…I’m holding it close!
So sorry to hear you’ve been sick. And whatever you had sounds awful. It’s nice to see you back again.
I hope you are feeling better, TCW. That cold/fly/virus has been making its way through my staff (and my house) and it is no fun. If you got some good fever dreams out of it, that was a bonus.
Welcome back TCW…we missed you!
Sorry to hear you were so miserable but glad to hear you’re finally on the mend. Lots of healing thoughts and virtual hugs coming your way… 🙂
So glad you’re back among us, thatcrowwoman. I found your persimmon seeds, and will mail them to you shortly.
{{{{{all of you}}}}}
DH Happy drives an ’82 Mercedes diesel sedan named Gretchen (the doc we bought her from gave her the name), and puts bumper stickers on magnets so he can slip them into the trunk when he parks out and about here in this blood-red “Redneck Riviera.” (No offense to rednecks…DH Happy claims to be a hillbilly in exile…) Littlebird drives an ’81 Mercedes diesel station wagon that she named Herman. Herman the German. She has several bumper stickers (John Mayer, Millsaps College) including some in Hebrew.
We’ve got the Turn off Fox, and one for the high school where I’m the librarian, and during the elections, he’d dry-erase messages and change them out every couple of days, in addition to our Obama sticker. We do sport a Sierra Club sticker in the back window, and Millsaps College with a proud nod to Littlebird. (Oh, dear…grammatically challenged…meh…can I blame it on whatzername?)
I’m glad you are feeling better thatcrowwoman. I’m always doctoring my fellow shipmates and coworkers so I feel the need to plug Echinacea extract (alcohol free)-a dropper full in a shot of water every couple hours. It’s amazing stuff-has helped me dodge all those circulating cruds and colds for the past two years.
I have a blue Subaru that I call Blue Sue. I know, kind of plain, but it really fits her-she’s gutsy but with a sweet soul. She’s sporting a Ray Troll “Going Home” bumper sticker. Back in 2008 I had an Obama sticker on my pickup truck and was told to leave the property at a barn where I was boarding my horse. My nephews were in the service at the time, one in Iraq and the other in Dubai, so I had ‘support our troops’ ribbon magnets on the tailgate. I was told I couldn’t have it both ways. I thought the comments were pretty funny, but I also suspect the sticker was the spark for some seemingly unwarranted “road rage” incidents. I’m holding off on the controversial ones for now. Sue still has a nice paint job, I’ll wait until she’s a bit more dinged up before I expose her to the crazies, she’s already got a rep. just being a Subaru.
Yes, Ma’m…”Salt Life” in curly script on my back window. That is the only one. Have been tempted on others stickers, but …
Fevers have always brought on hallucinations, none of them pleasant as far as I am concerned.
I hope you will be well enough to teach very soon.
Glad to hear you are doing better Missed your comments and wondered what happened Caw Caw Caw
“I’m Pro-Bike…And I Vote”
Feels a little odd having that on my car, but my bicycle doesn’t have a bumper.
Bike as in bicycle or motorcycle?
I don’t see my fav – “Jesus loves you. Everyone else thinks your an asshole.” But hey, it could be on there somewhere!
One of my favorites is “Jesus is busy. Save yourself.”
My current favorite is: “The last time we mixed religion with politics, people got burned at the stake.”
Longterm fave: “Eve was framed”
Currently on car is: “If you can’t trust a woman with a choice, how can you trust her with a baby?”
T… in line with your current favorite, I give you two to contemplate:
“They still burn us, they just use different methods”
and this one
“My Goddess is your God’s Mother”.
No, I do not have them on my car. I am a confirmed coward at this late stage in my life!
My favorite bumper sticker popped up during Watergate when Nixon ordered the firing of special prosecutor Archibald Cox – “Impeach the Cox Sacker!”
I remember that one!
I was living in Massachusetts at the time. I think it might have just been in MA. Do you remember in 1972 when Massachusetts was the ONE state that went for McGovern and there was a bumper sticker with a map of the country with MA highlighted and it said “Massachusetts…The One and Only.” That was a good one too.
We also had, “Don’t Blame me, I’m From Massachusetts.”
Hola Lynnrockets…good read today as usual.
http://lynnrockets.wordpress.com/2011/01/31/sarah-palin-says-its-all-about-me-again/
I’d like to put a ‘Puck Falin’ bumper sticker over that flap she calls her mouth.
Love those bumper stickers on that truck. We are getting ready for the winter storm to move over Ohio today, tonight and tomorrow. Wish it would wait til one day later so I could stay home on my day off through the worst of it. Stay safe every one!
You too!
I’m waiting for it to hit here in western NY on Tuesday night into Wednesday. Latest estimates from NOAA are saying 10-14 inches with wind gusts of 30 mph. Yee ha!
Snow day on Wednesday, mayybeeee?????
Stay warm and safe merrycricket and everyone else in the path of this nastiness.
I know wher you are coming from merrycricket. My daughter has to work tonight and tomarro night during the worst of it.She works 3rd shift so things are not cleaned up.
Hey everyone, you just have to see this:
Now THIS is screamingly funny! Be sure to watch to the very end. Seems that we US folks are not the only ones with gripes at times:
b{Prank on a Belgian call center (with captions in English)}
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxXlDyTD7wo
Probably the most elaborate prank of its kind ever, it was a huge (READ MORE) hit on ° VRT (Belgium) television January 10, 2011. To share it with the rest of the world, English subtitles were a must. Enjoy!
To see the captions, click on the YouTube text bubble.
Mathieu, the security guard, became a folk hero overnight for his friendly demeanor.
This is hilarious! I just shared it on Facebook!
I couldn’t get the English subtitles on my cell but that was still funny.
Hey, did you all catch the fact that when Mathieu the Security Guard made # choices, they/answ machine didn’t give him what he wanted? Like, for the thankyou gift, they were going (INSTEAD) send him a new container.
Danged that was too funny!
I would say that was hilarious if I hadn’t been on the receiving end of similar real incompetence. Try getting help for a Compaq (Comcrap) computer.
Poor baby, that’s one reason I won’t have anything but a Mac laptop. I’m getting ready to buy a new one and donate the G4 to a school, but I’m going to talk to the experts at Tekserve, my favorite Apple-dominated store, to see if the models with the newest Intel chips are coming out in April (that’s a rumor on various websites I visited). I’m upgrading to a MacBook Pro, and I don’t want to buy it now, only to have significantly updated product appear two months later.
IMO, Mac is worth the extra money (if one has it), because most problems are fix-it-yourself, and service is excellent.
I’ve been a Mac person from day one (I had the original Apple), and can’t understand why anyone would use a PC.I have to use one for work and dealing with the Windows OS makes me tired! I’ve also heard that new chips are on the way in “the spring,” so, yes, I’d check that out b4 you buy. (sent from my MacBook Pro)
Zyxomma, my son’s significant other works for Apple in one of their retail stores. Do you want me to ask her for the straight skinny?
That was great!
That was wonderfully cathartic. I wish I had a quarter for every time I’ve suffered through phone menu and bad customer service. Wouldn’t be so concerned about retirement then. Thanks for the link!
That was brilliant!
Thanks! That was hysterical, about put me on the floor.
Also, too great b-stickers.
From the picture:
“I bet JESUS would have used HIS turn signals”
Loved the:
“Instead of being born again, why not just GROW UP?”
OMG, this is funny! Bet it has to be hand washed, so to not do damage to all the bumperstickers.
BTW, I don’t have any bumperstickers on my little old truck. So I got a giggle out of these.
Kath – I covet that ‘turn signals’ one. Living in Texas, maybe someone would pay attention. Then again, maybe not.
I remember that about Texas – scariest drivers I ever saw. And they are even scarier when they venture outside of Texas and inflict their insane driving on the rest of us. Mind you, the drivers around the Puget Sound region can be pretty insane.
” Mind you, the drivers around the Puget Sound region can be pretty insane.”
Totally agree w/Pat, I remember a bumper sticker seen around South Sound…
Pray for me.. I Drive South Hill
I need to have the “born again” sticker!! My favorite that I don’t actually have is –
“SO MANY RIGHT-WING CHRISTIANS – SO FEW LIONS”
LOL
The only sticker on my car: Turn Off FOX — Bad News for America. Sadly, it’s the only one I’ve seen in Anchorage.
Hey, I have one of those!! Of course, I’m not in Alaska, but still.
i have that one too. i think it’s the only one i’ve seen here in NC but doubt that it is the only one.
We have one too here in Western MA!
We have those anti-Fox News bumper stickers as well – one on each vehicle. If our bike had a bumper, it would sport one as well.
I saw one here in TX. That was a brave lady driving that car. My husband and I gave her a thumbs up.
I’ve got one also.
“My Karma just collided with your Dogma” is a personal favorite.
love it!
Now there is someone who cares. About what, I have no idea.
About everything!
I love the one “Jesus is coming, look busy”. I first saw it on the back of our teen-aged neighbor’s car.
my faviorate was “Instead of being born again, why not just GROW UP
The one I like also
“All of em”
Haha I was just thinking I couldn’t decide which I liked most. At least that idiotic answer can come in handy sometimes 🙂
Ha! Ha!
