Bumper sticker declarations
Oct. 20th, 2005 12:54 pmI got in to my office much later than I had intended. Looks like I'm not getting everything done today that I had planned. Bummer. What better way to honor this slackatude than to write a livejournal entry? Other than noodling on tabletalk, I can't think of a better thing to do.
I saw a funny (? the jury is still out on it) bumpersticker the other day. It was attached to an exceptionally large SUV which also bore a W bumper sticker (I initially wrote that as "stinker" an accident? perhaps). The bumper sticker was a parody of those blue stickers with white printing that say "Attack Iraq? NO!" This sticker said "Attack Carrboro? YES!"
I happen to live in Carrboro. Initially, for an instant I didn't find it humorous at all, and wanted to leave a message on the monstrous vehicle saying "Bring it on!" or some such. It really made me aggressive. Then I decided to find the humor in it. I sometimes think about civil war, and wonder if we might wind up fighting one. I sometimes think "Bring it on!" I'm really tired of SUV driving jerks. And then this morning there were some low flying fighter jets over my house, which made my windows shake and the kitties run and was unpleasant. And I realized (even more than usual - I don't generally think of war as being fun) that being a guerrilla fighter would be a huge pain in the butt and I'm much better off just battling with bumper stickers. I think I need to get a bumpersticker with "The Rapture is not an exit strategy" on it, I recently saw it on a hat and found it funny.
(Apparently the jets were practicing for a display at the football game, I assumed as much but our department secretary confirmed it with an email, so it is just another reason to hate the nasty bloated sports program at this school)
Now... I will be productive! Although I seem to be having much trouble with spelling and typing this morning, so I may change my work itinerary away from draft edits and towards GIS tutorials. There's no point in editing if my brain isn't there for writing.
