bumper stickers

I love bumper stickers. Here are some I especially like:

Drowning in the Mainstream
(saw this one yesterday in the Shoppers/K-mart parking lot, in a town where one could surely drown in about 5 min. My reaction was, "well, get the heck out!"

You laugh because I'm different; I laugh because you're all the same
(the antidote to the previous bumper sticker)

I do whatever my Rice Crispies tell me to
(I first saw this one in New Brunswick, NJ. College towns are excellent for bumper- sticker browsing)

If you aren't outraged, you aren't paying attention
(So true it hurts)

Outraged; paying attention
(see previous comment)

Bad cop. Bad, Bad cop. No donut.
(also first seen in New Brunswick. Very funny, but traffic ticket waiting to happen, IMHO)

It will be a great day when schools have all the money they need and the air force has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber.
(This is an old one but I still like it, though I think the real issue is where the money's *going* in education. I also came up with a parallel one several years ago that I'd like to see: "It will be a great day when parochial-school teachers and pastoral ministers earn a just wage and bishops have to do their own laundry.")


Bumper stickers I'm planning on getting:

My other vehicle is a catbus
(reference to My Neighbor Totoro, a movie you must rent/get from your library/buy if you haven't seen it. My favorite movie of all time. I"ve seen this sticker three years running at Otakon and if it's there this year I am finally breaking down and getting it!)

Preach the Gospel at all times, and when necessary, use words --Francis of Assisi
(my philosophy on evangelization in one sentence. St. Francis is one of the greatest Christians of all time!)


Bumper stickers actually on my car (top to bottom, right to left)

Peace also takes courage

Geeks are hot!

AAA sticker

Broadside Electric: folk music with teeth
(one of my favorite bands)

a fading Amnesty International sticker

Are you a Foothead? www.tanglefootmusic.com
(another band bumper sticker. Tanglefoot is the best Canadian import of all time. With the possible exceptions of Leonard Cohen's music and Charles de Lint's books. Much better than Labatt's, even the Gold Label)

(Dave, my October Circle sticker peeled off. I need a new one.)
