I'm with stupid...on the Moon!

While on the expressway yesterday, I was behind a truck with a "Bush for President" bumper sticker. It also had another sticker reading, "You lost, get over it." At first I thought it was addressing the Democrats, but a closer look revealed what looked like a "no" symbol on top of the Stars and Bars. So I guess it's addressing the neo-Confederates, who really DO need to get over it. I suppose those two stickers balance out, or something. Maybe not quite.

And last night, I had a dream that there was this really rich guy who owned a store. He used his money to buy the Moon and turn it into a spaceship, which he then used to fight off invading aliens. Later on, the dream somehow took on a Super Mario Bros. theme, and the rich guy became a rich Goomba. There was something about how, when Mario and Luigi first came to the Mushroom Kingdom, they took the second pipe on the left. The first pipe led to this Goomba's house.

Finally, is Futurama coming back? Some people seem awfully sure about it, but I don't know that I'll believe it until I actually see it on TV.

I have this plan, obnoxious outspoken independent that I am, of, should I ever decide to post any sort of bumper sticker on my car (which I probably never will, worrying about resale value and whatnot because I'd never be able to afford to REPAIR a car enough to be able to run it into the ground), that I will find as many different bumper stickers as possible so as to broadcast as many of my varied opinions as possible, particularly those that one-siders have never thought to believe are compatible. I particularly want one of those Jesus fish and those Darwin amphibians and have them kissing. I think that was actually the first plan I had. Then I collected even more ideas of things I would put on the car, and all those things together would make an even better statement than any one bumper decoration alone. But like I said, I'll probably never do that. Unless I become an owner-operator trucker. But considering my current driving skills, that's even less likely.

I don't currently have any bumper stickers on my car, and I don't know that I ever will. They're really difficult to get off, which is one problem with ones that address current issues. People get these "So-and-So for President" stickers, and then they're obsolete a few months later. The other problem with stickers like that is that they're kind of pointless. I mean, do they expect someone else to see a "Vote for Bush" sticker and think, "Hey, I SHOULD vote for Bush! Thanks, stranger's car bumper!" (And if that person were to see a Kerry bumper sticker next, would that have blown their hypothetical mind?) I sometimes think the entire purpose of bumper stickers and signs like this is simply to annoy those who disagree with you.

If I ever DO put bumper stickers on my car, I'm sure they'll be for bands and such. I think I already have a TMBG one, although I'm not sure where I put it.
