Cthulu fhtagn!

[elspethdixon]

I have decided that I want a Cthulu-fish for my car. Like a Jesus-fish, but with tentacles. I loathe Jesus-fish and the majority of Jesus-fish derivatives, but a little metal fish outline with tentacles would rock.

I can't quite bring myself to plaster bumperstickers on my car, both because it's such a county/low rent thing to do, and because I still can't quite think of it as mine (witness still not having cleaned out the trunk after eight months of driving it, because I can't get rid of Grandmother's stuff without asking her), but a Cthulu-fish would, I think, be tastefully understated.

*scrambles to peel off her "1984" and peace sign stickers* Damn! You mean I was giving away my Kansas cracker roots? I like the idea of the Chtulu fish.

Have you seen PotC2 yet? It really plays up the sexual tension between the chars and made me think of you.

I don't know what things are like in Kansas, but here in St. Mary's County, numerous bumper stickers are the province of a) college students ("Free Tibet" and the eqivalent), or b) people who feel the need to inform every other driver on the road of their support for W. Bush. Well, that, or that their kid is an honor roll student at Great Mills High School.

Mainly I'm just bitter about bumperstickers because there's this one car I pass every day on the way to work that has a half-dozen anti-abortion stickers plastered all over it. Just the sight of it's "Abortion is Murder"/"Abortion Stops a Beating Heart"/"I <3 Children, Born & Pre-Born"/"Jesus is Lord"/"Real Feminists Don't Kill Babies"/etc. sticker collection makes me want to rear-end it.

I haven't seen PotC 2 yet, but I'm looking forward to it. I've been told it's full of OT3 subtext.

Sounds a lot like the Midwest. I'm actually in Missouri now, which is just like KS but with more hills and confederate flag decals.

I started slapping on political ones as my personal stand against the same culprits--honor roll stickers (and even worse, the "my wrestler beat up your honor roll student" anti-intellectual crap) and the W stickers. We've also got lots of anti-abortion ones, and I see plenty of "Terri was murdered" ones. I used to pass, every day on my commute, a beat-up minivan with a "Boycott France" sticker and a sign in the window about Hanoi John (Kerry). I wanted to take a stand against issues--imperialism, war, etc. rather than make a political endorsement (like, ugh, Kerry). So, I guess that puts me in the college students category.
