Not That Ubiquitous
Politics, Seattle
Just because I was stuck on I-5 this morning for about 20 minutes, I noticed a truck with a big "Jesus" Sticker on the back of it. Things of this nature, like the little metal Jesus fish, seemed to be everywhere to me, so I started counting passing cars (as I was in the stagnant 520 lane) to see how many symbols commonly associated with the right wing I could find. The tally:
356 cars:
1 Jesus Fish
1 Jesus Sticker (previously mentioned)
12 "Support our Troops" ribbons
So that would make .5% Jesus stuff, 3.3% Iraq stuff.
Honestly, the Jesus fish annoys me but I can try to be less annoyed if this is the extent of the problem.
And no, Jesus himself doesn't annoy me, and I want our troops safe too, but let's be realistic about who puts this stuff on their car.

Jesus annoys me...but i think its cool that he can turn into a fish.
Todd shouldnt you be working or doingt something productive with your time?
by the way, I think you should try the same experiment in Tri-Cities...or even Tacoma/Kent/Issaquah/Everett...
This is scary to me...remember that night at wendy's?

1) We'll see how annoyed you are in hell.
2) What's more productive than educating young extremely undeveloped minds such as yours? The children are the future. Magnadrive understands this.
3) Those places are called shitholes for a reason.
4) The link is broken...is it the 'he couldn't touch his wife for a week' related?
I believe he couldn't touch his wife for a month...and this refers to our wager in the wendy's in Ballard about the cleaned up Punk kids who I deftly declared were "hip christians".
OMG, I remember that story you guys used to tell about the guy who couldn't touch his wife for a month! What was the whole story again?
