Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Are the family window (not bumper) stickers popular elsewhere? The one where you have stick figures of all the family members, perhaps with names underneath each one.

Way TMI for me. I remember reading that you shouldn't have your kids wear shirts with their names on them (and I have to admit, I don't see them as much as I did when I was little) because it allows strangers to act like they know them. This sticker thing is even worse that way.

I did giggle at one I saw with two men and a dog. Cute.

Now, do all the rainbow stickers have to do with teh gay? I guess, except for the Apple one. The narrow strip in rainbow colours, the rainbow teddy bears...it seems like a lot of gay.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I know from walking through the parking lot each morning that my office mates have Save Tibet, Bush Lied, an antiwar Jefferson quote, and Bring Our Troops Home among the ones for various bands, colleges, and indie radio stations. I have a small sticker for Bones Red (the bearings on my skates) and Madurodam, which is a cool place in the Netherlands. I am awaiting a They Moght Be Giants sticker and may add a pro choice one to round things out.

Window stickers here tend to fall into four categories, Universities, Nascar, NRA, and Calvin.

Oh, god, yes. In Utah, Daddy is first, then Mommy, then 3-7 little kids. And room for more.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Are the teddy bears each rainbow colored or different colored teddy bears? Because an assortment of day-glo bears is a deadhead thing.

I haven't seen the family window stickers. Or, if I have, I didn't comprehend them. Which is possible.

My current favorite bumber sticker:

Do you follow Jesus this close?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

the rainbow teddy bears

Why do I think that's for Dead heads?

Oh yeah, lots of those family ones around SoCal, also Jesus Saves variations.

I'm pretty sure they were the colours of the spectrum. But I had forgotten about the Dead thing.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Since I drive the most nondescript car on earth, I put on a bumper sticker to be able to find the poor beast. It is black text in a white circle, like those trendoid location-abbreviation ones for MV (Marthat's Vineyard) or various vacation spots. Except it says READ.

Thus, I can always find my car in a sea of same-looking cars.
