What's your city's bumper sticker?
In a thread on a different bulletin baord, it was said that a city could be defined in the hairstyles that are popular there. St. Louis has the 1970s afro, Denver has yuppie power hair and Buffalo has the AutoZone groder mullet. In my opinion, cities also seem to have distinctive bumper stickers.
I always noticed this when I lived in Buffalo, where a multitude of cars had one of these sayings plastered on the back bumper:
PRAY THE ROSARY DAILY
PRAY TO THE VIRGIN MARY
LOCAL #(some three digit number here)
ABORTION IS MURDER!
When I moved to New Mexico after I graduated from college, I could always tell when a vehicle was owned by someone from Alamogordo. There was usually one of these on the back:
THEY'LL GET MY GUN WHEN THEY PRY IT FROM MY COLD, DEAD HAND
JET NOISE - SOUND OF FREEDOM
JESUS CHRIST IS LORD OVER ALAMOGORDO
Back in Las Cruces, though, the tone was a bit different.
In Denver, these were everywhere:
Every other truck in "the town next door" has this in the back window:
So, what bumper sticker screams your town?
