Idiotic bumpersticker of the day nominee

[last_texas_dem]

Seen in West Orange, TX this morning:

"Kerry is bin Laden's Man
Bush is Mine"

Awww, isn't that sweet?

:-)

[Deja Q]

1. Inaccurate, but if that driver likes being humped by *, so be it.

[Jilly Beans]

2. You live in Orange?

I just spent a week in Port Arthur. :hi:

[last_texas_dem]

6. Hey

Yup, been an Orangeite for all of my life, give or take a few months.

How'd you like Port Arthur? Jefferson County is alright; at least they went for Kerry!

[Jilly Beans]

9. I was raised in PA--on West Madison Street.

My grandmother passed away this past week in Mid Jefferson Hospital. I stayed at the Holiday Inn while I visited her.

I love Port Arthur. Everyone there is so nice. Makes me want to move back. Everywhere I went, everyone was so hospitable.

We went out to Pleasure Island, and we went crabbing at the base of the "Rainbow Bridge"--didn't catch anything (too cold).

I did come home with twenty pounds of Nick's crawfish boudain, though. If you haven't tried it, drive down 9th in Port Arthur and get ya some.

(I'm Maddy McCall--but I haven't had the energy to find my lost password. I'm afraid to check my email after being gone for almost two weeks. :scared: )

[last_texas_dem]

13. I'm sorry to hear

about your grandma. I'm glad that you liked spending some time down here, though. I go back and forth; there's certain things I really like about Orange, other stuff not so much.

I've had that boudain though, and it's awesome!

[Jilly Beans]

15. Thanks...she's at peace now...

She was a great grandmother, and I hated to see her pass, but her medical condition was torture for her.

Yeah, I'm going to get the boudain out in a few minutes, and put it on the grill with the steaks. You've never eaten anything as delicious as grilled boudain. YUM.

Anyway, I'm glad to be home, but I do love Texas, and have never really felt that Mississippi (where I live now) is home. The rest of my relatives live up in East Texas--Tenaha area. Deep in the deep piney woods.

[last_texas_dem]

19. That's cool

A lot of my family are East Texans, too. Most of those who ended up this far south came down here for the jobs at the port during World War II but a lot of them are still more in the Piney Woods area as well.

[Jilly Beans]

22. Same story.

My grandfather and grandmother moved south during the war. My grandfather and my father worked at Gulf refinery.

Later, after my grandfather died, my grandmother moved back to Timpson...and then, as she became ill and could no longer live alone, she moved back to Port Arthur with my aunt.

[tammywammy]

16. Have you eaten at Ester's, at the end of Rainbow Bridge

I've been there a couple of times and...delicious!

We used to get our boudain from Nick's, but now when were down there we go to Boudain Hut.

[Jilly Beans]

17. No...I haven't. But we're going back in a couple of weeks, and I promise..

I'll check it out. Is it seafood?

And, tell me, how's the Boudain Hut? Is it good? Better than Nick's?

[tammywammy]

21. Yes, it's seafood

I still like Dorothy's Front Porch for seafood the best, but Ester's is closer to where my grandpa lives.

I don't remember Nick's much. After my grandmother (many, many years ago) tried Boudain Hut's she never went back to Nick's...and the whole family converted. They have great boudain balls.

I like the Pt Arthur area to an extent. I love my family and the food. But I wouldn't want to live there. At the same time that I like it, I also find it very depressing. I grew up, mostly, in the DFW area, and it just seems that there's so more to life than what Pt Arthur can offer people (expanding horizons).

Edited to add: My mom graduated from TJ in Pt Arthur (along with all her siblings).

[Jilly Beans]

23. Is TJ the Yellow Jackets?

That's where my mom graduated. In 1953, I think. :D

[tammywammy]

26. Yeah

My mom graduated in '67 (I think), with Laura Joplin, Janice's younger sister. My mom's maiden name was Joubert, so they always sat together in homeroom, and talked about guitar.

[Jilly Beans]

28. My parents knew Janis's parents.

They lived nearby. Unreal! :-)

[tammywammy]

29. It's such a small world!!

:hi:

[last_texas_dem]

18. They're really good

I had alligator for the first time out there!

We actually almost had my sister's wedding rehearsal dinner there, but ended up going to another seafood place, Channel Inn in Pt. Arthur.

[tammywammy]

10. Most of my extended family lives in Bridge City

With one Aunt/Uncle living in Port Acres.

[Jilly Beans]

12. Small world.

:hi:

[skygazer]

3. Excellent nominee

I saw one the other day that said, "Under God for fifty years. Let's keep it that way!"

My first thought was, "We had slavery for longer than that. Should we have kept that, too?"

[RandomKoolzip]

4. So Kerry and bin Laden were once business partners?

Whoops, no that was Bush.

Plus, the election's over, freeptard.

[underpants]

5. "I'm not too Fonda Kerry"

"It's about the treason stupid"

I saw that one back in the fall

[last_texas_dem]

8. Aww man

I think that one may have mine beat. That's pretty awful!

I did see a "John Kerry for President... OF FRANCE" sticker (with him sporting a beret) back in the fall. I didn't think it got much worse than that...

[JAbuchan08]

25. Now that's funny. I hate to say it, but it is comparatively clever

what does it mean that I still hate George Bush with a passion, but I'm laughing at Kerry jokes. Have I become that desensitized?

[last_texas_dem]

27. Laughing at 'em can be healthy

Sometimes it keeps my head from exploding... Besides, the right-wingers will always have us beat when it comes to the art of coming up with asinine slogans. In fact, that may be one of the primary reasons they win!

[trof]

7. Miz t. was born in Orange.

During her Cajun family's long westward migration from NOLA & Lake Charles to Houston.

[Seabiscuit]

11. "Support our troops"

The most idiotic of the day every day.

[Left Is Write]

14. That goes beyond idiotic.

[CatholicEdHead]

20. On a locksmith van over easter:

Licence Plate bracket: "In case of Rapture, Vechile will be unmanned"

[JAbuchan08]

24. That's not even clever, or funny, but it definitely is Republican

dweeb.
