Alright, which one of you crazy DUers did this???
I was driving on I-35 tonight (in north Texas) and found myself behind a large tanker truck. On the back, in HUGE letters written in the dirt on the tank were these words:

VOTE BIATCH!

Then lower down:

DU

I laughed so hard. It had Illinois plates. WHO did it? LOL!

And in other news, I met up with some friends for coffee tonight and one of them was the friend of a friend. I had never met him before and a few of us were griping about bush and I apparently said some really liberal things (imagine that) and this guy looked all disgusted and said "You sound like some kinda LIBERAL." I looked at him and said "THANK YOU, I am!" in a really happy voice (because I honestly do consider that a compliment!). He said "I didn't mean it as a compliment" and I said "Well that's the way I took it!" with a big grin on my face (the others around me were chuckling as they are liberals, too). He sort of snarled and I said "In fact, would you call me a liberal again? Please?" He started to walk away and I yelled out "WAIT! I didn't give you your hug! Everyone who calls me liberal gets a hug!" He muttered something under his breath and walked over to a distant table.

I can't post this in GD for fear of being raked over the coals for not taking that opportunity to plumb the depths of his psyche so that I could frame the debate correctly on how I should feel at being called a liberal (slight sarcasm there).

3. I love it!
I've been using the "thank you" response for about a year now. The expression on the face is priceless, isn't it? Wish I could have been a fly on the wall.

6. It sure pisses them off!
I guess I'm supposed to act all hurt or be so upset at being called liberal that I immediately pull out two hand guns and start posing for pictures with them, while waxing poetic about the death penalty.

10. Oh my GOD!
I LOVE being called a ball buster! Call me that again!

No, no, call me a LIBERAL ball buster! Wait, does that sound like I bust liberals' balls? Ok, um, how about BALL BUSTIN' LIBERAL! Yeah, yeah, I need that on a damn bumpersticker!



"Ball-bustin' liberal"

I say if the bushbots are going to engage in all this faux horror about us, let's give them a REASON to.

17. That is an awesome screen name!
I think of myself as a ball bustin' liberal.

Are you married?!!:P

16. If anyone put that on a bumper sticker
and sold it on a cafe press site or something, I swear I'd buy one.

And I'd put it on my car. Oh my, what looks that would get here in Texas.

22. It's kinda cool that the idea was born here on DU.
I think I'll start a separate post and offer the idea up and I'll offer to be the first one to buy one.

24. I SO Love This!
It's priceless, it's funny...it's EFFECTIVE!

Thanks for a) carrying on and b) sharing.

Getting off the defensive without being disgustingly offensive is a marvelous tactic. :)

25. Aw, shucks.
Thanks. It's my natural reaction, actually, as I hate to get into pissing contests (I will if I have to, but I hate the disgusting, need to take a shower feeling after getting into one).

:hi:
