We are still just talking about stickers, right? Because it sounds like some of you would pick your friends based on this shit. I mean, come on. Think globally, act locally, people. You cant hug a child with nuclear arms. And I live for the day that all our public schools have adequate funding, and the Air Force has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber.

I'll take the spongecake, please, Colonel.

Yes.

I have put one sticker on 2 of 4 cars that I have owned.

The second one was, when viewed as a concept separate from the music, my favorite: "Today Is The Day."

[btw, first two albums = excellent, third = pretty good, fourth = evil nightmare-inducing (literally), all others = decent but grindy prog metal wank.]

The first was, when viewed as a concept separate from the music, my second favorite: "Melvins."

When you have a chance to put the word Fuck on your bumper you better take it.

I think bumper stickers are generally crap unless they are of the "Fuck You" variety, in which case you've gotta give some credit to the person with that much conviction. I have had a bumper sticker idea floating around in my head for a while that I think would definitely not be crap, especially in Orange County, CA, where I lived when the idea came to me:

"God Dammit, I Love Jesus."

Not crap.

i saw what may be the best "pissing calvin" sticker ever this morning. it was really huge (and predictably on the back windshield of this pickup truck) and depicted calvin pissing on a crude rendering of osama bin laden. further, this image was flanked on either side by what i believe to be the names of the driver and his dingdang woman in big ol' block letters. the same truck had also had a confederate flag bumper sticker. there's nothing funnier than someone perfectly fitting a stereotype.

for the record (and since i started this thread), my car has three small band stickers on it: joy division, the new year, and silkworm. and, yes, i now feel like a complete jackass...

Don't feel like a jackass. A lot of people like Yes.

yeah, but i'll bet none of those people have had roger dean paint murals on the sides of their car like i have, man.

If you were driving a Ford, say a real nasty one like an F-150 (or even an F-250), and then you had a sticker with Calvin pissing on the Ford emblem, would it still be crap?

I saw a car the other day with a sticker from every flash-in-the-pan indie/punk group of the last 5 years.

The Mars Volta sticker looked relatively new, where as the At The Drive In sticker looked quite weathered.

And it was a mini-van. Obviously a graduation gift from Mom.

Putting band stickers on your car is CRAP.

Putting band stickers on random cars is NOT CRAP.

SUCK
MEAN
PEOPLE

I have done this same thing! I have also rearranged the words into:

PEOPLE
SUCK
ME

Right now I have four stickers on my car, only one of which is a band sticker. But it is merely a logo, and a confusing one at that to most people, so I think it is still tasteful.

And anyone who wants me to take the Cobra sticker off my rear window can die in flame.
