I've never been one to have bumper stickers on my car, so it got me wondering what I might put on my bumper. I've seen some very hilarious and some very wise bumper stickers, but I can't think of one I'd be willing to paste onto my car. Whatever my bumper sticker said would say something about me. What would I want to say about me?
I suppose it isn't as permanent as a tattoo. I found this website which offers a bumper sticker alternative for the fickle.
On a completely different note, my thought process is being interrupted by a Rick Springfield concert going on in the next neighborhood. We live up the hill from a casino on the Puyallup Indian Reservation, and Rick Springfield is really belting it out. It's a clear night, so even though my windows are closed, I can clearly hear "I wish that I had Jesse's girl...."
I have wanted to put one of those oval stickers on my car with the two letter code for a country. My nationality would prompt me to sport a large "NL", but I guess I'm not that patriotic. Speaking of which, I should probably have a large yellow ribbon that says "Support our Troops". Living in a town with so many military bases nearby, I see plenty of those.
Rick is singing "I'm not in love"...y'know, the song by Paul McCartney? I'm hoping to hear "Don't Talk to Strangers" before I go to bed.
I think the best bumper stickers are the really thick ones with about a paragraph's worth of writing. Usually very witty or profound. The only problem with those is that you have to be so strategic in your driving in order to pull alongside and stay in the blindspot long enough to read them. Or follow them off the freeway until you can pull behind them at a red light, but that borders on stalking.
I'd never have a sticker advertisement for a radio station in the hope of being "spotted" and given money. I don't think that ever happens. Do you know anyone who won money from having a radio station stuck to their bumper? Anyone?? Paige?? I didn't think so.
I once saw a bumper sticker that said "My life's better than an ABBA song" and I knew my hubby would love it, but I haven't seen that one for sale. I guess I'll stick to magnets on my fridge. My current favorite is the one that says "I child-proofed my house, but they keep getting in anyway!"

Sorry to burst your bubble but my friend Traci, who went to school with y'all, has a KBER sticker on both of their cars. Her hubby won a few times from having these stickers. Much like Paige, he spends most of his free time dialing into radio stations and winning the world. He won the ultimate KBER contest that had prizes worth more than $75,000-- Yes that is correct--no exageration. New furnace, AC, hottub, pool table, foose ball table, air hockey table and the list just goes on. Too much dedication for me!

Um, excuse me, I don't spend "most of my free time dialing into radio stations", Oh, wait, there's a contest, I've got to go!
