I thought with it being an election year and all, there would be a bumper crop of bumper stickers and or vehicle decorations to share. *note this is not limited to national politcal bumper stickers or political ones for that matter*

Here are some of my favorites so far this politcal season.

Republicans for Voldemort

Defoliate Bush

Less Bush More Trees

Jimmy Carter for President 2004

In case it isn't obvious, these are observed bumperstickers. I do not own them. In fact, I don't decorate my car. As you can tell from my small sample Seattle is not very Bush friendly.

(The following post is not a reflection in anyway of my political persuasion. I believe in equal opportunity offending. In fact I think it says more about my sense of humor than my politics.)

Happy bumper sticker hunting.

I saw one that cracked me up good on a truck yesterday:

When Hell freezes over, I'll Ice-Fish that too
d.
my first car had a sticker in the window that said:

"toto, i dont think we're in kansas anymore"

but my fave is:

"just becuase you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not after you"

In honor of our excessive Dutch population here I offer:
Wooden Shoe rather be Dutch
If you ain't dutch, you ain't much

I, too, own no bumper stickers because, well, I like things complicated and I find that BS (heehee) over simplify things for my tastes.

Still, I love the sheer beauty of a really good witty sticker. Just...on someone else's car...

much to mrsocal's chagrin, i've just purchased a sticker reading 'ex-republican'.

now, i'm too wussy to put it on my bumper - instead it will go inside my rear window. ON my car, however, i have a 'wine me dine me' and the most kick-ass otr sticker of all time - the scampering rat. thank you michelle!!

i'm also fond of 'one nation under surveillance'

all time favorite, though? 'visualize using your turn signal.'

THAT i would stick ON the bumper.

I've got a scampering rat w/ 'Over the Rhine' under it and New Belgium Brewing's logo on my rear bumper. A small, googley eyed frog and a small turtle playing an acoustic guitar on the rear windows. And a small butterfly on each upper corner of the side cab windows. I'm like bunnygirl - love the witty stickers, just not on my truck.

Both from stores in Boulder, CO. The frog came as a corner sticker along with a big turtle design. The designer has some really neat stickers. R.J. something... I've got the name at home and I'll post it when I find it cause you can find his stuff online.

I want a scampering rat sticker.. huh.gif tongue.gif

Currently I have nothing on my car, but I once owned a car that I covered with band stickers...it was a clunker so why not...

I mentioned this before in the pet peeves thread but here it is again, a nice brand new SUV type vehicle on my street has a sticker in the back window that says:

"Stop Global Whining"
Carribeanpenguin
There was a bumper sticker fundraiser by a class here at Ross...

choices:
- Real Doctors Treat More Than One Species

- Be An Animal, Sleep With a Vet

I got the first one...the next plan is to recognize that since the muffler fell off (and yes...it passed inspection without the muffler just last month), of my sparkly blue honda civic, that it's time to induct 'Blueboy' into island car fame with it's first sticker.

On a slight side note, most 'local' cars and buses here have those window stickers. Most have uplifting phrases like:
- He will come!
- Don' let dem do no harm
- Jesus saves
- See de light
- He be watchin

etc etc...i'll have to make a list biggrin.gif

heh - on another lil side note
A friend of mine is so far into waterdeep that it's CRAZY...so her liscense plate says 'DEEPHD'
ha.
um.
well, we didn't realize the alternate meaning until someone pointed it out, so she immediately put a blazing WATERDEEP bumper sticker on to try to make it better.

A friend and I like making our own bumper stickers.

We change them out every few months or so (international crises withstanding), but the present arrangment of words in my rear windshield reads:

______________God has already blessed America.
_________(Please ask Him to bless other countries, too.)

These borderline commentaries are a little frightening to broadcast in towns as small as the one we're in, but the relevance and importance of these kinds of messages (in our opinion at least) are valuable enough to risk scowls, dirty fingers and deflated tires — all three of which my friend or I have experienced as a result of our mobile campaigns over the past couple years.

Granted, any of those incidents could be due to our collectively awful driving habits. happy.gif

Her most recent incarnation reads:

___________________UNITED WE STAND
___________________IN OIL WE DROWN

on another note - while i have only two small otr stickers on my car (and, okay, the soon-to-be sticker inside the rear window), my snowboard, on the other hand, is covered with whatever stickers i could find. it's a basic blue hand-me-down, so like stiv said, why not?

i have two stickers on my car: teach peace and may peace prevail on earth. i thought about sticking one of my OHIO stickers on, but instead it's on my nalgene bottle, along with an amnesty international sticker. i should be receiving a kerry/edwards sticker soon.

one of my favorite stickers from a long time ago had a picture of a butt, a purse, and a clock, and said BUM PURSE TICKER. get it??

Ya know, I see this one all the time and have to wonder why anyone would want hemorroids on their asses?! It doesn't really seem thought out and leaves the impression that the driver hates tailgaters but enjoys hemorroids.
just 2 cents,

michelle
I had that thought too when I first saw it but then it became sardonic and pissy. Kinda like saying "Get the F*** Off My Ass" via a bumper sticker. Not that that's what it's saying, but that's how I read it now and my easily amused, dry-humored self finds it funny. Maybe if I had hemorroids I wouldn't find it amusing... hard to say. wink.gif

My daughter's board is also covered with stickers, including such classics as "Good girls go to heaven, Bad girls go everywhere", "INFAMOUS" and "I'm blind on this side so watch my ass"

That's my demure little girl! blink.gif

My favorite was on a car at a David Wilcox concert

Metaphors be with you

and then there is a mock up of the "Save the Bay" for saving the Chesapeake Bay that makes me chuckle

Some of you may remeber 7 or 8 years ago when a little school here in S.C. called The Citadel made a big fuss about letting in their first female cadet when a court ruled they had to.

Her name was Shannon, and she was...well, not a size 6. A lot of purists who were pissed off at her being let in insisted that she be treated like all the other cadets, i.e., she should have to shave her head. For a while, we had bumper stickers that said: "Save the Males"...but after the "hair" thing: "Save the Males. Shave the Whale."

Yeah, it was pretty brutal. I did like the "Save the Males" one, but the latter version was tasteless.

Incidentally, Shannon is probably one of the greatest liabilities in the history of women's lib. After fighting for over a year to get in, she dropped out after 3 days b/c she couldn't hack it. There are, however, plenty of female cadets today.

i know it's a little cliche, but i really enjoy my 'i love dorks' sticker. smile.gif

come the rapture, can i have your car?

I have a bumper sticker that says "Press" -- only it's in the front left corner of the dashboard of my car.

And it's not funny or anything ... unless someone mistakenly thinks it's some kind of instruction (which has happened a couple of times) and actually tries to press on it ...

ohmy.gif

[edit]Oh, and I ran across this little sticker that I bought at a place called Beaver Liquors (heh) in Beaver Creek, Colo., at my pal Tee-Hee's wedding back in mid-2002. Can't quite see putting it on my car (I don't stick any stickers on my bumper), but it makes me laugh, nevertheless. And smile.

My parents' Jesusmobile, a sickly green 77 Pontiac, was named for its sticker emblazoned "Jesus: don't leave earth without him!" This is only funny if you witnessed my younger brother's first months behind the wheel of that thing. "Prepare to meet thy god" would have been more appropriate, but people seem hesitant to print that sort of thing.... dry.gif

How about "Save a cow, eat a vegatarian?"
christina
I saw one yesterday that made me laugh. I didn't catch all of it though. It went like this.

No C heney The No CARB
No A shworth Governement
No R umsfeld
No B ush

It might have said United States or Vote or something of a similar vein instead of government. But that one gave me a good chuckle.

Visualize using your turn signal reminded me of two around here.

There was a crusty old Greek guy in Price, Utah that drove (and still does for all I know) a huge old caddy with steer horns on the grill and two bumper stickers on the rusty trunk lid. One said "Nuke The Unborn Gay Whales For Jesus" the other said "I gave up bowling for sex, the balls are lighter and I don't have to change my shoes"

so, not a bumper sticker, but this stuff amuses me-

i was home over the fourth, and my parents' neighbors now have a 2'x3' sign in their front yard that says, in large capital green letters:

JESUS


i.just.don't.get.it. and i like Jesus, too!

Back to the bumper stickers...

A couple days ago I saw a minivan with the following two stickers on its rear window:

and

I just added my first political sticker to my car " Bush 04"
One of my Favorites is "Welcome to America, now speak English"
FallingLeaf
I'm pretty far left when I speak politics, but I saw a right-wing bumper sticker this week that cracked me up:

"Annoy a liberal. Work hard and be happy."

(Of course, he also had one that read "President Bush, Leader of the Brave." dry.gif )

Not politickin' Drew! Just tellin' what I saw!

A fair and balanced view,

I didin't know Bush owned any baseball teams. And here all this time I thought Ted Turner owned them. But then again what do I know about sports.

There was a bumper sticker a few years ago that i got a kick out of
"honk if you haven't slept with Clinton" Well I honked, and got the finger.
Oh well sad.gif

The busses in Portland all have bumper stickers that say "Becasuse of me 256 (or whatever number) cars are at home.
Well, a few wiseguys got some bumper stickers made up saying "Because of me and 245 other cars, one bus is at home."

Some of my favorites -

"Minivans are tangible evidence of evil."

"Ordain women or stop dressing like them."

"If going to church makes you a Christian does going to the garage make you a car?"

"What if the hokey pokey IS what it's all about?"

"I embarass my offspring"

"Jesus saves....Yzerman gets the rebound and scores!!!"
