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!

"Not All Who Wander Are Lost."

I like this!

Isn't that a great one? Another is a take off of the Gandalf quote: Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup. :D

I wonder how many people who have that bumper sticker (or T-shirt, or whatever) realize it's from Tolkien.

I used to see it a lot at Grateful Dead shows, and couldn't tell whether it was an overlap between hippies and fantasy fans, or if the Deadheads just liked wandering and agreed with the sentiment.
