The Kitchen Table

Bumper stickers or personalized.......

16 years ago

license plates. Another post made me think of this, what bumper stickers or personalized license plates have caught your eye?

I can think of three. I saw a big, totally decked out, pick up, come into a parking lot. Out came the driver, a real cute tiny gal. The bumper sticker on it said......No this is NOT my boyfriends truck!!

We had a friend who worked for the railroad. The B.S on his car said, My other car is a locomotive.

Another one, my friend and I were parking at Walmart and there was a cute little MG convertible parked there and the owner was standing next to it. He had a world-class beer belly and the BS said This is my Babe Magnet. We laughed all the way into the store.

Have you seen any that you thought was funny or thought provoking??

I finally bought a t-shirt of my favorite despair.com poster: (It says "CLUELESSNESS: There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.") Only problem is that I forgot that rectangles become de facto trapezoids when I wear them... and the words cannot be read unless I hold the hem of the shirt out to pull them out of the "darkness"... sigh... oh well... I still think it's funny, and I'm living for the day that someone tells me they have a stupid question and then asks what my shirt says... Oh, and the t-shirt is actually Made in America... by robots (spend some time on the web site and you'll see why this is funny)...

That's great, David! LOL I've been up here more than 40 years. Mom was born in Idaho. However, I was born in California and after spending my growing-up time in Oregon - returned to the CA coast before moving here. For many in this neck of the woods, I'm not just a Californian (I've had people tell me that I'm obviously a Californian), I'm a d**n Californian! And yet, if the resident isn't one of the few natives, and not a Californian, he/she is from the upper Midwest. And, young people? They'll probably leave . . . Steve's digits

There are some templates at this site: http://www.nashua.com/tmplts.html but I think I would just play around with Word or another printing program and make up my own.

I too have the "burn at the stake" one. I must have forty or so accumulated over time (and I'm talking about around 8 years) in an envelope in my glove compartment. People give me stickers fairly often - I keep the ones I like best and pass along others - and they're not exactly expensive investments. The ones from the Northern Sun catalog are the priciest ones I ever buy at $2. Allison, although there is a risk of theft, you can mount a regular sticker on the very thin magnetic sheets from any craft store. Barb, the dragons sticker is a spinoff of the line from one of the Lord of the Rings books - "do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger". I picked that one up in a science fiction bookstore. (One of my dream bumper stickers would read: Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger. -- JRR Tolkien No matter how subtle the wizard, a knife between the shoulder blades will seriously cramp his style. -- Steven Brust) I'll grant that there are many bumper stickers out there that make me wish I had a rocket launcher mounted on the hood of my car - usually expressing some kind of hate-filled, couldn't-pry-that-closed-mind-open-with-the-Jaws-of-Life vileness - but I would never even consider defacing someone else's property no matter how much they p!$$ed me off. I saw one today that made me rather sad: "War does not define who is right. It only defines who is left." (As in left alive.) So true, and I wish it weren't. However, I don't care to put any kind of advertising stickers on my car, just like I don't wear clothes with brand or store names splashed across them. (I do like to wear kooky t-shirts, I'll admit it, because I think it's fun to make people do a double-take. My favorite is worn to tatters - reads "give me that old-time religion" with a drawing of people dancing around Stonehenge. LOL) I figure if a business wants me or my car to be a billboard they can dang well pay me for it.

And of course there is the motorcyclist's tee shirt that says, "If you can read this, the girl fell off!"
I saw a bumper sticker that said, "Twins on board--beware!" I think mama was having a hard day when she put that on her minivan.

My favorite car license plate belongs to a New York Yankee fan who lives in my neighborhood. "HIFARGONE" just like the Yankee radio announcer John Sterling says everytine a Yankee hits a home run- It is high, it is far, It is Gone!

'My other car is a Corvette". This sticker was on a Corvette!

On a small car with 4 cylinder engine: "I could've had a V8", the sign emulating the well known tomato based drink.

"My dog is smarter than your kid"

"Don't blame me. I did not vote for him."

The name of a local beauty parlor: "Curl up and Dye"

"My Toy"

On the plate of a Jaguar: "Purrrrr"

My DD always wanted one for me that said, "My kid beat up your honor roll kid!" (She could actually fit into either group, but I guess she was more proud of the tough part! LOL (or at least the humor in it!) LOL

For several years our one daughter had the license plate that read, Panda. She has a great collection of pandas.

My sister always wanted a bumper sticker that said, "The closer you get ... the slower I go." Several years ago, I made it for her on Zazzle, and now it actually sells pretty well.
