My other car is...

So I have been thinking a lot about the Bumper Sticker. Why do we plaster our cars with them do they have a purpose and why do we care what you would rather be doing. I don't understand it. I have one bumper sticker, NL, for Netherlands..Heritage people that is important. NOT if your other car is a golf cart. A golf cart isn't even a car. Or worst yet is the car that has them plastered all over...Things like Devil driver, STMP (I have never seen this one but it is typical that you wouldn't know what some bumper stickers even mean) DIVA, with a pink glittering ring, BRAT and then the worst some Calvin and Hobbs guy giving you the bird or peeing on a Ford. I just don't get it. I don't care if your dog is smarter that an honor student, although Wilson is.

When I was younger it was so cool to have a radio station bumper sticker or your nickname which happens to be a liquor. Does the bumper sticker bring some sort of kin-ship to driving. Like if I see a bumper sticker that says something about red heads and how superior they are, should I think cool another superior red head. Or what if I see that bumper sticker that has the peeing guy should I be like "I love peeing on things too, I shouldn't try to pass this guy" Should the kin-ship of bumper stickers allow someone to drive 20 under the speed limit or since you are the same heritage wreck your car? I think not! The only thing that I see good about this is that you can identify them..BACA guy, Peeing guy, Devil driver guy.

boycott the bumper sticker!

Side note: Ro has a cousin who has makes his own bumper stickers. They are made on the finest lined ruled paper and normally say things about battle ships with a sketch or endorsements for political candidacy. Go Doug!

My bumper sticker says "If I throw a stick, will you leave"? It defines me as a person..

Where did you come from? I think you could have a philosophy degree as well as a degree of Wallmark expertise. Did this blog message stem from the little plaque you made for me that stuck on the refrigerator "MOM I love you" which you took down and hid when you were mad at me?
"Andrea I love you", Mom

I was hoping you would give a shout out to the king of the bumper stickers!

my favorite bumper sticker which I never stuck on my bumper: "Yer not mutch if yer not Dutch". I don't think they really spell like this in the NL.

Oh My God, I love Doug.

Who did we say was the equivalent of Doug? Oh yeah, our new co-worker.

She needs a code-name.

Hey Andrea! I came across your blog the other day. I just started our own blog since I didn't do a Christmas letter this year. You can find it at www.meengsfamily.blogspot.com.
