Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

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

Oh, hee, that's hilarious , Cashmere!

The only stickers on my car are expired parking permits. And an expired brake tag on the windshield. I think I might have some bumper stickers in the glove box, but it would take too much commitment to put them on.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

My only bumper sticker was a rugby ball with the Red Cross logo inside that said "Give Blood - Play Rugby". That one got me out of more than a few speeding tickets, actually.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I have a lawyer friend who would love that sticker, juliana. He keeps promising to take me to a game so I can be rugby queen, but he is a liar. After I made him a saint and everything.

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

I used to have a McGill sticker in my rear window, on my old car. This car has a McGill license plate holder instead. That's about all I'm willing to own up to in front of complete strangers.

I have met a couple McGill grads as a result.

There are krav license plate holders and stickers, of course. Despite everything, no. It's just not a conversation I want to have.

He is a lying liar who lies! I should come down there and strongarm him into taking both of us. And then we can sit in the stands and drink and make lewd comments.

My license plate holder is for Miskatonic University Alumni Association. I also have a Miskatonic University bumper sticker. People say, "So, that's an Eastern school?" "Yes," I smile, "it's in New England."

Thrive to spite them

I have a Kerry sticker and a few others. I have an ACLU and Equality (blue background with yellow equal sign) that I'll probably put up at some point.

There's a mix of conservative and lefty bumper stickers around here.

When I was in high school there were some First Amendment bumper stickers because someone (sheriff and state attorney I think) were trying to close up video rental stores that had porn -- which at that time was all of them, we didn't have a Blockbuster.

And when I was in middle school the state kept trying to push mandatory seat belt laws and a popular sticker was "I'll buckle up when Bundy does", refering to Ted Bundy and the fact he was still alive on death row and hadn't been strapped into the electric chair.

Those are two...odd positions to link together. "The state should be allowed to kill people, but by God they better not make me wear a seat belt!" But perhaps I'm asking too much for people to scan their bumper stickers for logical fallacies.
