Um...do you drive like a clown, Fat Jeff? I'm curious how a clown drives. (And I mean of the circus red-nose variety, not the clown/jerk/dumbass variety.)
Interestingly enough, a troupe of clowns -- literally, yes, clowns -- became our neighbors in Mililani recently. That is to say, performing as clowns appears to be their business, as each of their cars so advertise. I've really wanted to chat them up and find out more about the clown lifestyle... but for folks who make their living as clowns, they come across as pretty surly!
Oh, yes, topic. Stupid bumperstickers. How about, "My other car is also a car." No? "This is my other car." Er... Never mind.

Life is what you make of it...so please read the instructions carefully.

Actually my wife says I drive like a woman...whatever that means (I got my hot rodding drifting the corners & burning rubber stuff out of me years ago).
Funny about your new neighbors...especially since I most probably know them! Truth be told, I know most of the working clowns in town. In fact the one who gave me that bumper sticker is coming to my son's 1st birthday party tomorrow (at Magic Island, pray for sun).
So, what is driving like a Clown like? Just like a lot of things, you'll know it when you see it (and the cat hanging from the bumper too).
P.S. No cats were harmed in the production of said bumpersticker.
I guess I'll be labeled a "prude" for this, but AINOKEA.
The bumper stickers, decals, etc. that I cannot tolerate, are the ones with offensive language, either spelled accurately or spelled "on the sly" for all to see.
Some are plays on the old (failed) VW slogan "farvergnugen" (or however that was spelled). One I saw yesterday said "bacdafucup." (Kimo, did you write that one? -- j/k)
What gives somebody the right to offend my sensibilities and those of my kids -- or ANYBODY'S kids?
Oh yeah, the first amendment. Right.
Sometimes I wish I had a super-soaker full of nail polish remover to shoot at the disgraceful verbiage, to deface it and teach the vile car-pimper a lesson. That would be MY freedom of expression. Of course I'd never actually do it.
People are going to swear. Fine. Do it on this board, fine. This is, in a way, a private group, where we can communicate freely -- I CHOOSE to be in here.
When I'm on the road, it's usually out of necessity, as is looking around -- but why should I be subjected to somebody's swears IN PUBLIC?
They no mo' shame, o' what?!
Their mothers must be so proud of their little boors, now all grown up.

I really hate it when my 4 years old says "mommy what does F U Mean?" From a car in front of me!
Or when my 10 year old asked me what the Vagina Monologues was??? Because there was a 20 foot sign!!!
