Almost irony.....
« on: August 14, 2008, 03:23:48 PM » |

...then I read the rest of the bumper sticker. I'm driving behind a Hummer, the full sized model, when I notice a bumper sticker in the back window that says: Earth First!I'm thinking about the big ass Hummer and the huge irony of an "Earth First" bumper sticker being on it... when I get close enough to see the fine print.... "We'll strip mine the other planets later"  |

What do you expect you tree huggin hobbit. Humans are locusts that are devouring all the resources of this planet without respect to future generations.
Wow did I just say that?

A few months ago, I saw a Hummer H2 with a bumper sticker that read "Powered by Jesus". You know it's getting bad when people have to pray for better gas mileage.  |

"We'll strip mine the other planets later" Seriously: I've driven a tactical (read: Full Sized AMG) Hummer, and it's IMPOSSIBLE to get stuck in all but terrain that would stop a tracked vehicle, and not even alot of that. Maybe the guys (GASP) actually the kind of person that needs such a vehicle, rather than just buying one out of fear or overcompensation. Since the H2 is little more than a dressed up Tahoe, which of the three categories do you fall into? |

Not really. There are alot of reasons to buy a full sized Hummer, and not all of them are bad. It's seriously the baddest off the shelf ORV there is. An H2 or H3 is a different matter all together. LOL, just realized my error!!!
The awesomeness of it is not to be overlooked! |

It seems it would be easy to assume, though, that a guy with an assfaced sticker like that on his vehicle is probably an assface, regardless of what he's driving or whether he has a legitimate reason to be driving a full-sized hummer in the city (and I can't imagine what that legitimate reason might be).
YMMV.

I read to the bottom before I had any opportunity to get upset by anything. No worries. Besides, I'm accustomed to you misunderstanding me |

Besides, I'm accustomed to you misunderstanding me Are you guys married? In the interest of full disclosure I should mention that I spoke with MFAWG by phone last night in a dream. I don't remember the subject but I assume it wasn't politics as I didn't wake up in a cold sweat. I was embarrassed as I didn't know how to pronounce his name. Is it EM-fawg? Is it m'FAWG? Is it myfriendlyautomobileworkingguy? Is it mother*fudge*er*charmin*gob*feces*e? I tried many combinations, perhaps even more than actually exist, and still couldn't get it right. Almost ironically neither could he. |

I always figured his last name to be Fawg and his first name to be Mike, or Mark, or Marcy or something. But I like gleek's explanation better.
