So, what does your rear end say about you?

[s2a]

My goodness, but what a bunch of gutter minded folk you are...;-)

[This thread delivered compliments of previous inspiration lent by robtex in his thread "Name that cup"]

Do you wear your religion/politics/hobbies/interests/ideologies only on your sleeve (perhaps well-concealed, like a buttocks tattoo), or on your car as well?

Bumpersticker politics are as popular as ever in the good ole' USA, and who am I to buck such a populist trend of free expression?

Got any nice pics of your rear end? Does your tail speak of mystery, majesty, or hell-bent megalomaniacal mastery of the universe...or perhaps to something revealing, reverential, or revolting about your place and perspective within the prevailing earthly penury of unfulfilled aspirations and dreams?

No pics? OK then...howzabout we just trust you to account for whatever unabashed adhesive banner adorns your automotive arse?

Allow me to drop 'trou for you...

My current collection, from Left to Right, Top to Bottom, as follows (some obscured by sun glare):

Rear window: "Evolve Fish"; Sierra Club; National Wildlife Federation; "Darwin Fish"; International "No W".

Rear bumper (LtoR, Top to bottom),
Top Row: Freedom is the distance between Church and State"; "Feel Safer Now?"; "Support the Troops/Impeach Bush"; "Evolution is just a theory - kind of like gravity!"; and (my favorite)...a T-Rex munching on a "special" fish.
Middle row: "My Ten Commandments are the Bill of Rights"; "What schools need is a moment of science"; "Wesley Clark '08 for President".
Bottom row: Old glory (US Flag) Herself; "Osama Loves your SUV - [foreign] Oil consumption funds terrorism".

[For you sharp-eyed folk, yes...it's an '88 Honda Accord (with 266k miles). She averages a solid 34mpg (or nearly 400 miles per fill-up) in daily commuting (about 250 miles a week), and almost 45mpg at sustained interstate speeds. So there. Gas price crisis? What crisis? Bring on the "carbon tax"!]

Hmmm...Bumper stickers, I never thought about that. And here mrscardero was holding her 90' Mazda together with duct tape.

mrscardero used to have two of those fish stickers (that commonly say Jesus) one said vampires and the other said porn queen but her mother/cousin took them off one night because she (her mother/cousin) being a religious person, didn't want the neighbors to see it.

 

[Buttercup]

We have a 2001 Honda Accord with almost 140,000 miles which gives your '88 a good round of competition s2a! However, we have quite boring local university sport team stickers on our bumper. Since this is such a fun thread, I wanted to add a few that I find somewhat humorous.......

In England, we are not 'demonstrative' with our rear ends..:sad4:

We only have regulation Number plates that may only have the registration on them (perhaps the maker's name, and also the "E.U - GB" sign), the latter in case we want to motor on the Continent, when we have to make it clear that they are all driving on the wrong side of the road.:biglaugh:

Some imaginitive folk like to have a "If you can read this, you are driving too close to me" . To my simple mind, that is achieving the exact opposite of what you want; but then, I am not over=endowed with a sense of 'fun'.

 

[eudaimonia]

I don't own a car at the moment, but when I did, I usually had a Libertarian Party bumpersticker, plus a sticker for the LP's Presidential ticket, during election years.

I also had a yellow diamond that read "Cthulhu On Board" visible through my rearview window.


eudaimonia,

I tend to shun such overt expressions of opinion on my clothing and vehicles. I guess I'm following that old adage about keeping my opinions to myself and letting others suspect that I'm an idiot, vs. expressing my opinions out loud and proving it. *smile*

 

[Melody]

Nothing on the back of my car either. No particular reason.

 

[MaddLlama]

I have no bumper stickers. I have a sticker in my front window advertising my business, but that's it. Outside of this place believe it or not, I don't talk about religion, and only occasionally talk about politics. And the only sentiment I wear on my clothing is that I'm a geek who likes cartoons. *shrug*

 

[Mystic-als]

mine too is rather uneventful. But well groomed. Always clean and shiney.

 

[Flappycat]

the latter in case we want to motor on the Continent, when we have to make it clear that they are all driving on the wrong side of the road.:biglaugh:

Now you know what bumper magnet to get for your next trip to the continent: a British flag to either side or in the background, whichever you prefer, and some message, in whatever language you deem appropriate, about their silly habit of driving on the wrong side of the road. If you're the patriotic sort, that is.

s2a, you never fail to find something amusing to discuss. Thanks bundles. My bumper is still naked, unfortunately.

 

[Draka]

I don't have a pic of my "rear end" but I can at least tell you what's on it.

bumper stickers that say:

I haven't been the same since that house fell on my sister

Don't make me get my flying monkeys! ( have a shirt that says the same)

Why am I the only one on the planet that knows how to drive?

Normal people worry me

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup

*may be more but as Turk has the car now and I can't remember more than I'll have to check back*

There are 2 stickers on my trunk, one of a sun/moon combo and one with a dragon wrapped around 2 swords

I use to have a bumper sticker that said "I want to be Barbie...the b*tch has everything" but it fell apart and I covered it with another.

 

[evearael]

My car's rear is naked, but shiny.

 

[Unedited]

I have a small U of Kansas magnet (yay for school spirit!) But other than that it's bare.

couple more than I thought:

Why do people with closed minds always open their mouths?

Keep honking, I'm reloading.

 

[retrorich]

So, what does your rear end say about you?

That you are an ***?

George W. Bush is a "rear end," and I couldn't care less what he says about me.

 

[s2a]

That you are an ***?

*sigh*

So much for broaching the lighter side of things...

Involved storyline (got a minute?). When I first started working for the New York State Thruway we had to learn to use the radio intercom which was connected to a radio dispatcher in AlbanyNY. Whenever we had to call in a Road Service Permit, do Roll Call, report a Hazard Material Spill or if we required a state trooper, we would have to notify the dispatcher. One of the things that we called into Albany was Signal 7s. A Signal 7 is when someone runs the toll without paying. Before the advent of EZ-Pass we would call in several of these a day. A typical radio exchange would go like this:

COLLECTOR: Woodbury to Albany
ALBANY: Go ahead Woodbury.
COLLECTOR: I’d like to report a Signal 7.
ALBANY: Do you have a description Woodbury?
COLLECTOR: Be advised it was a maroon compact New York Registration License Plate # C-Charlie 345 M-Michael 27 heading southbound just a few seconds ago.

Then Albany would contact a State Trooper that was patrolling the area and hopefully they would pull them over.

I met a guy on the Thruway who worked with me at Woddbury Toll Barrier and we started a band together and he came up with the name Signal 7. I ordered a vanity plate that said SIGNAL 7 when we played out and 17 years later I still have it. A lot of the older employees remember Signal 7s and recalled what it was like to call them in. State Troopers who pull me over on the Thruway for speeding can’t help but laugh as they are letting me go because they know I am a collector and work for the road. Never got a ticket yet.

I guess my rear end says that my mind is totally blank. We haven't put a bumper sticker on any of our cars since the 1984 Camaro we got rid of in 1994. I think other people's bumper stickers are neat....I just don't care for 'em on our cars.

 

[Jaymes]

The only thing I have on my car is an old, crumbling fairy sticker that came on it when I got it, and my parking sticker for the Athens Tech campus. I have a "Marriage = ♥ + ♥" sticker hidden away in my room, but I'm scared of the questions that would come up with my grandparents if I was to put it on my car.
