No, it just means you can make light of yourself. Just like if you would have seen a bumper sticker that had said stuff like: "Online Games: Stealer Of Spouses" or "Bicycles Are Demonic: They Use Human Energy As Their Fuel"
Ooooooo! I want the "Online Games: Stealer of Spouses" sticker!!! I'm a widow, don't 'cha know! I deserve that bumper sticker and compensation pay for time lost! *giggles*
I agree with thekitsune. My husband just brought home some bumper stickers from the Seattle Wireless Group with chainsaws on them that say "Trees are the enemy". Now, do I allow him to apply one to our hybrid for the geek points (I'm guessing oh, 1000, with 500 for irony added in) and risk offending the environmentalists who won't get it at all? I think I'm just evil enough to do it.... *cackle*
Actually, I was being facetious. But, personally, I don't ever put bumper stickers on my car. As enjoyable as I find reading them on other people's cars, I don't like to have my beliefs plastered on my auto. I would rather someone ask me and we can talk like civil human beings rather than someone reading that I'm a tree-hugging, organic, free-range vegetarian or my personal sexual preferences or my political leanings and jump to conclusions. Someone will always jump to the wrong one. I have a sense of humour, but I fear that many people are driven by passions into unhealthy behavior.
In reality, it will never get onto the car for much the same reasons you posted, though we do work in Corvallis and much of the environmentalist community (of which we are a part) will get the joke because they are also into wireless. But the irony of putting that on a hybrid is delicious! I wish I could find another copy of my favorite sticker from my last car. It summed up my personality all too well. "Where am I? Where's my car?"
The "Where am I?" sticker is very cute. I think I may just have to journey to Corvallis and have tea or coffee with you. *smiles* I've wanted to take a Saturday off work and have lunch or dinner with Altrus for a while now. I've heard great things about Nearly Normals. There is also, reputedly, a tea salon up there. This excites me as I consider myself a tea snob. *grins*
That would be delightful! While I do drink herbal teas during the day, for the serious stuff, I am partial to Assam, loose, in a warmed pot. I must say that when we visited England last October, we had High Tea at Bath. *sigh* I brought back some Assam tea from Harrods!
I am awarding myself the bad vegetarian award of the day, however. Being the family chef, I have to prepare the turkey for the Fourth of July celebration!
I prefer green tea, African red bush tea (Rooibos) and the French blended blacks. All my teas are fresh, loose and hot... (in my best insufferable male chauvanist pig stylings) just like I like my women! Tee hee.
Do you travel to England often? I went last year for the first time. We only had a week and we spent the whole of it in London. I plan to return some day to actually go to Bath, Stratford on Avon, Oxford and the like. I love to experience the countryside. I find I have a far better time there than most cities, no matter how illustrious.
I didn't even realize you were vegetarian. I cook meat for G and guests, as well. You probably don't want to hear my whole philosophy of faith, but I do buy animals who were raised responsibly and humanely. I figure if I buy him the meat, at least I know where it originated and how healthy it was. If I leave the shopping to him, he'll buy just any old thing with growth hormones added. I don't think it makes us bad vegetarians. It makes us responsible humans. I could be biased. *grins*
Hehehe... Last year was my first time in England. We had 10 days, and T has relatives in Manchester, so it was 1 day in Yorkshire (highly recommended! Wished I had more time), 3 in Manchester, 3 in Bath and the balance in London. Whirlwind trip. T had a conference presentation about wireless in Cambridge the week before so he got his travel paid. I really have the travel bug, though. Started just after high school with a trip to Germany, Switzerland and the then Soviet Union (that dates me!).
I'm only recently veggie, and suspect my philosophy is close to your own. We buy poultry from Wood Family Farm, they are delightful people. The kids take part in all aspects of running the place.
I've really only begun my travel mania recently. I've always wanted to travel, but never had the time nor the money. Last year we went to England, France, Italy, Belgium, Luxumburg and Japan. I want more! It's rather addictive, isn't it? Before that, I'd only been to Canada and Mexico. How exciting to have relatives you want to visit in foreign places. I have this notion of a relatively inexpensive way to spend 4 -6 weeks in Europe, but it requires two additional people. We have lots of folkes who would love to do it with us, but no one is able to take 4-6 weeks off work. *sigh*
I've been vegetarian for about 8 years this time. I take it T is your partner and he is not vegetarian?
Yes, T is my husband and sometimes doesn't cope well with my conversion and a few other things. *sigh* Vegetarianism agrees with me, though, and that's what is important. I had a wonderful experience the other day at a Korean place in Beaverton. When the owner found out I was veggie, he took the time to explain which pickles I could eat and which had fish sauce in them, etc... rather than acting like it was a hassle, it seemed like he was honored to have me in the restaurant.
We went to Thailand a couple of years ago, we have a friend there who acted as our guide and wants us to come back very soon. We seem to hit Hawaii every couple of years nowadays, too, and go to Canada fairly often.
