See any bumper stickers you just love? This morning on the way to work, my husband and I saw a blue VW carpooling, license plate BLMEANY, license plate holder saying "Never mess with a redhead," (and a redheaded woman driving) peace signs on the red rear tail lights, and this bumper sticker.

So, have you seen any bumper stickers that appeal to you?

Years ago I saw a bumper sticker on a car belonging to some kind of archeologist that said, "Love is fleeting. But stone tools are forever."

Ha, that one you linked to is funny.

I saw a "Republicans for Obama" sticker on a car in Florida. I gave them a honk and a cheer.

I raised over $800 for the Obama campaign selling this one.

I saw one that a while ago that said something along the lines of "Bumper Stickers are for attention seeking losers" which made me smile. The other one that stuck with me was "Your Grandma loves me" just because I'm not exactly sure what's going on there.

I like the classic "Nuke the gay whales for Jesus" myself.

I love the one car that I spot at APL all the time that has a sticker of "My other vehicle is unmanned".

It wasn't ON A bumper, but still.

I have a few bumper stickers on my desk. My favorites are one that says "Yet another fucking opinion" and another that says "Jackass".

I also have one of a bicycle with the words "Go home" on it, which I just had to have, as homage to my father who used to stand at the kitchen sink in his undershit and Bermuda shorts with his walker and yell "Go home! Go home!" out the kitchen window at any stray dogs that happened to cross our backyard.

Can we say which ones we hate, instead? 'Cause living in Austin, I would happily do away with every single sticker that says 'COeXiSt' spelled out with all the religious symbols of the multicultural rainbow. And they are legion.

Oh, the bordor collie one is so good! And the drunk drivers!

My classic favorites are: Kiss My Fat Ass and Where Am I Going, And What Am I Doing In This Handbasket?

Speaking of Obama stickers, I've been seeing some anti-Obama ones recently. The last one I saw was written in Obama-font with the sunrise "O", but it said, ZOMBIES. ?!

My all time favorite sticker I put on my own bumper was an Elvis Costello paraphrase: "I used to be disgusted, now I'm just amused". When I get a car, I'm going to apply to it a "HOW'S MY BLOGGING? Call 1-800-STFU-LOL".

There's a site called Internet Bumper Stickers that has been around forever (their 'retired' stickers include many Bill Clinton and Y2K snarks) and still comes up with some works of brevity and levity...

I have an oh-so-subtle Jesus-fish-style FSM on the back of my (silver) car.

Two I see on my lunch jog/walks around the office lots:

What Schools Need is a Moment of Science.

And. There is a small pick up driven by a burly older guy. The liscense plate spells something like Dad's Toy. It has two stickers. One is Mary Kay, and the other is I (heart symbol) my Portuguese Wife.

mrmoonpie, I am fighting the desire to ask you if you have any of those Obama bumper stickers left over. (My husband and I continue to marvel at the variety of Obama bumper stickers, too. We are still seeing new iterations, and the man has been in office for a year and a half now.)

As for fish emblems, this one is my all time favorite.

bearwife, it's print on demand. Go ahead and order!

OK, I want one! Please memail me.

bearwife, you just need to go to the cafepress site and order one--no involvement from me necessary. There are others there along the same theme, but I promise I thought of the idea independently of all those other creative folks.

That's one of the cool things about sites like that--it's really easy to come up with a one-off idea. I've printed several special-occasion shirts that way.

The site that does the border collie one does similar stickers/tshirts/etc for other breeds. As a greyhound person, I always liked the greyhound one.

posted by misskaz 28 July | 08:49

I like that greyhound bumper sticker! And inspired by your comment, I went hunting and found these for my favorite breed, australian shepherds. Now I want one of each.

posted by bearwife 28 July | 11:05

Um, meant to say I found these.

posted by bearwife 28 July | 11:05

They weren't bumper stickers but placards on sale at a mom and pop drugstore:

I'm not a snob, I'm just better than you

If only closed minds came with closed mouths.
