Bumper stickers and license plates

[thrihyrne]

Today I was behind a truck with a few bumper stickers that caught my eye: one is an old fave, "Not All Who Wander Are Lost." Next to it was "Don't Act Stupid- We Have World Leaders For That."

*sigh*

Interestingly, there was a car next to me at a light with a Rhode Island license plate. It was a personalized plate that said "OREGON." Interesting! So perhaps the person had been an Oregonian who'd moved to RI and come back, or lived in RI and had a fascination with Oregon and then moved. It captured my imagination, anyway.

Happy Friday. Feeing rather pensive and sulky about many things I don't wish to elaborate on, but I hope you all have a good weekend. While I'm in a funk on the interior, I'm wearing my cowboy boots and a fun red shirt with a bright blue funky cat so I at least look like a rock star, even if I just want to go off into the woods for a couple of days and be a hermit. Thanks, Callum, for the brief IM this morning, and to snottygrrl for the card which I received today. I'd written you a short letter as well, so the letters must have crossed!

Just a couple of days ago I saw a bumber sticker that read, "Not on the rug, Man." Which means nothing unless you're a fan of _The Big Lebowski_, in which case it is hilarious.

A more recognizable allusion in the political sticker, "Republicans for Voldemort" -- quite popular in my very left-leaning neighborhood.

You ARE a rock star, thrihyrne! And that's why we love you! If it makes you feel any better, I feel "blah," too, and I am starving and in a hotel by myself on a Friday night. Andrew and some friends are meeting me later, but I need to do dinner on my own. Yay!

I loved my Republicans for Voldemort sticker. gryffindor_j gave it to me, but then some dumba** pulled out in front of me and totaled my poor Honda.

I would live "Not on the rug, Man." My husband had, "This aggression will not stand, man," another Lebowski quote.

You're so kind!! I was actually feeling very close to you this morning as I spent about an hour and a half or so beta'ing for you. I should have the next installment to you tomorrow sometime.

I'm sorry you feel blah; I was feeling sorry for myself, but things have evened out and I'm eating a very yummy salad. :D

By a strange coincidence, I'm wearing my Republicans for Voldemort shirt as I type this!

Woo hoo!! I have great friends. :)

I've not seen The Big Lebowski, so that bumper sticker would have meant nothing. Then again, I've seen a lot of bumper stickers out here that don't make sense! I do love the Republicans for Voldemort one. There's one that's very popular here:

I told myself I couldn't get one until I had Oregon plates, but now I do! ;)
