Keep on Truckin'
I used to take the little wrestlers off of my trophies and mount them onto my Plymouth Oldsmobile as the hood ornament. I'd drive "the grappler" down the street with a little man in a wrestling stance guiding my way.
I also had my share of bumperstickers.
That's kind of where it stopped. I just don't see myself putting bumper stickers on my car anytime in the future.
I don't care enough about any one single product (even rain x - which is the greatest single product) to put their sticker on my bumper. I saw a ski manufacturer's sticker on a nice car today and wondered why.
I can't see anybody pulling over and having a God moment because someone has a "Jesus Saves" sticker showing them the way. I'd wonder about someone who was going to vote one way, "but then as I was driving to the polls I saw a McMillin for City Council sticker and that's what swayed me".
I'm convinced that a number of accidents happen every day because some squinting driver pulled up a little too close to read the "beam me up Scotty" stickers that keep us all rolling on the highways.
At the same time - I get it. I remember being so excited about something that I wanted t-shirts, stickers, posters...you name it - that all showed off my new favorite thing.
I try to remember when I see someone in a cheesy Christian t-shirt that they're just excited about their faith. That can't be bad. I guess they could be cheesy political bumperstickers, or ski slogans...if that's what gets you most excited in life - I guess you should go for it.
That'd be my line of bumper stickers - I'd call them "Cheese"
first one:
Go for it dude!

I smell a bumper sticker contest.

"Don't blame me I voted for gzorn#10plat.. along with everyone else who voted on that computer.
"Free Leonard Peltier..and while you're up grab me a coke."

ReplyDeleteThis blog was a giggle.
ReplyDeleteSean, besides RAIN-X, you introduced me to the second best product, the Mr. Clean Eraser.
