Strange sticker combination

[vptpt]

So I was riding down the road with one of my buddies. We were in the fast lane doing about 55 in a 40. There was a car in the slow lane that was doing about the speed limit, and we were gaining on it. Then these 3 SUV's, I suppose traveling in a convoy to maximize their gas wastage, all squeezed in around us. Because 15 mph over the speed limit was just not enough. Anyway, the last SUV, a big new black monster with a woman driving it, had a W04 sticker on the back. No big deal, right? Asshole SUV driver with a Bush sticker. You see that every day. But down below the Bush sticker was a Phish sticker! W04 + Phish = WTF? I've been trying to figure that one out for a whole day now. Maybe one of you guys can help me out. I mean, did this girl actually have a thought in her head back in November that went something like, "OK, now I'm gonna put down the bong and go vote for Dubya."

I don't know, it's just been bugging me. I know everybody has the right to listen what they want, but come on! A republican Phish-head?

1. Remember,

Coulter claims to be a Deadhead.

5. Coulter also claims to be a woman

Sorry, I know that was cheap. I just couldn't help myself.

8. If Phil Lesh heard that Ann Coulter says shes a Deadhead

I'm sure he would say,"well, she obviously doesn't get it"

Coulter is the farthest thing from the spirit of the Dead. I wonder if she knows she's aligning herself with the likes of Al Gore (I've even seen him at shows), Clinton was a Dead fan too, right?

2. Yup. Not everybody who goes to the show and is a fan "Gets It"

They take what they find, but they're not really part of the scene.

3. These must be the people

who go to a show, eat way too many shrooms due to inexperience, then ruin the night for about 10 different people who have to babysit someone who may or may not be STUPID ENOUGH TO VOTE FOR BUSH.

Sorry for the yellin'.

4. perhaps it was her kids sticker? NT

[vptpt]

7. I don't think so

She was a kid herself, probably about 20. But you have a point though...maybe the Bush sticker was her parents'? But still, I don't care if mom and dad gave me a new car or not. First things first, I'd scrape that damn sticker off of there. Of course, I won't have to worry about that. My parents would never buy me a car, and they sure as hell wouldn't crap up the ass-end of it with a W04 sticker.

9. aaAAAaaahhhh - i know

she was a trustafarian - a trust fund baby looking out for 'her' money with nothing else to do except to go and observe the 'dirty hippies'

trustafarian - yup, gotta be it

6. Maybe she tought it was a "Jesus Phish?"

:evilgrin:

10. Some wingnuts seem to be able to fore-go the message for the music...

:shrug:

There're even a few of them on a Stereolab message board that I frequent. If you've ever read their lyrics, you'd be wondering what in the hell they were doing there.

[vptpt]

13. Yum, Stereolab!

Thanks for reminding me, that's what I was meaning to listen to yesterday.

11. Marriage = Man + Woman and Kerry/Edwards on the same pickup truck

I saw that truck in the parking lot of the Catholic Church. It also had a union electrician or other trade bumper sticker. It just shows...you never know what folks are thinking.

[vptpt]

12. Or if they are thinking at all

[Kolesar]

14. the biggest a-hole in my high school has K/E on his truck until today

[HEIL PRESIDENT GOD]

15. Nazi hippies, or trustafarians

The rare Nazi hippie thinks the earth needs to be saved from black and brown people... fucked but true... I've met them. I've even seen a tie-dyed swastika!

A trustafarian, on the other hand, might have gotten the Escalade from daddy with the W sticker as a stipulation of ownership. Or they could even just be bland Republicans with extremely unproblematic lives who like a certain style of music and drug-taking but would never think of straying from their parents' politics.
