Bumper decorations &c.
One day recently I ran across a couple of interesting bumpers. This first one is a bit blurry, I just barely managed to get the picture before it got away. But I could not resist trying to get a picture. In addition to the Darwin fish, they have one sticker that says I’M KILLING THE EARTH! and one that says RESPECT CERTAIN ELDERS and I just thought both of those were great. (As always, click to embiggen.)
Then there’s the sign in the background that says 15TH AVE BRIDGE PROJECT BRIDGE CLOSED. This sign is in our neighborhood. The closed bridge is in our neighborhood. The bridge was closed last May for some kind of super complicated safety upgrade. We wish the bridge would be closed forever! Even though it’s not very convenient to have to find an alternate route if we’re going north. See, the street we live on used to be a busy thoroughfare , and now it’s more like a cul de sac. We’ve been joking about hiring a saboteur so we can keep our peaceful street. But the sign, oh, the sign. Who did up this sign? It would have been so simple to make it make sense. 15TH AVE BRIDGE CLOSED. Simple as that.
Ah well, too late anyway. The bridge is supposed to open up again in April, which is [gasp!] next month. So sad for us. (Pssssst! Know any reliable saboteurs?)

Next! This one was parked in my neighborhood the same day. I actually drove around the block to come back and take a picture of this one, because, wtf?
I even googled “jesus fish elephant” and did not get any significant results. Maybe my google fu needs work, or maybe my imagination needs censoring. Whatever. I’ve been drinking.

I’m thinking that the elephant is the symbol of the republican party, so the sticker signifies that the Repubs can take their Jesus fishes and stick them up their asses?

Haha! Yeah, that makes sense. I think the fact that the car was parked out front of a church threw me off. Probably just a coincidence.
