Bumper Sticker Woes

[tinhuviel]

Yesterday I bought some really groovicus bumper stickers. So proud was I that I was once again going to be a rolling anti-Right Wing slogan!

Here's what I got:

• "Defend the Constitution: Repeal the Patriot Act"


• "Regime change begins at home"


• "Bush lies"


• "Another American for Peace"

So, the "Another American for Peace" was tiny so I just put that one on the back window. The rest I stuck on my magnetic paper and cut to spec. Proudly did I saunter out to the car to slap my newfound inciters onto it. And slap I did!

*slap* and the bumper sticker fell to the ground. What the hell? *slap* once again, no joy!

Well, goddammit, my car is plastic. The only place the magnets will stick are the hood of the car and the top of the trunk. So now I have bumper stickers stuck up on the metal fridge and cabinets in the kitchen and only one little microscopic sticker on the back window of my car.

To add insult to injury, everyone to whom I've so far imparted this sad tale has laughed their asses off at me. The only place I'm going to find sympathy is in the dictionary.

grr..

No sympathy here. Sith know no sympathy!


Seriously though, I added a bumper sticker to my car the day before you put up the magenet suggestion. All I could think was "but, my car's plastic.... " and I cheerfully went out and admired anew my "New Orleans, proud to crawl home" bumper sticker.

Well, I knew the outside was plastic but sure underneath would be some sort of metal, yes? I was woefully incorrect. bleh.

awww, I actually CAN sympathize cause I have the same problem. Course I didn't go so far as to buy magnets without thinking of the fact that my car's plastic (:P). They are hard to find but a lot of times you can find window stickers ... which are removable :)

hmmm ... Velcro? :P

Velcro is a good idea. Maybe I could put chia paste on the bumper and velcro the stickers to my newfound fuzzy car.

I feel much sympathy and empathy...I had to finally just STICK the bumper stickers to the car (the horror!) - but when you're ready, spraying them with Pam makes them easy to remove...I tried it on a small bumper sticker and it worked. Now I just have to PRAY it works on the others!! LOL

(PS - It IS a funny story though)

that's a good idea. I fully intend to sticker my car for the upcoming election season so I can be that one tiny voice of liberal reason in a sea of Right Wing religious zealots.

New mission: buy bumper stickers and Pam.
