"Slow down, you maniac! Show some respect for a coffin full of bricks representing a young man lost at sea!"
Posted by pete at February 26, 2007 10:42 PMThe Wife occasionally mentions I have "anger issues." My standard response is that I have absolutely no issue with my anger. In those...exceedingly rare instances when I get pissed off, I express it openly and - on occasion - loudly. I sure as hell don't have an issue with it.
Even so, I can certainly agree that it's not in my best interests to order anything from RoadRage.com. The message cards are reversible (for reading through a rearview mirror) and feature (sort of) polite and vulgar versions. This is my personal favorite:
Living in Texas, I can't recommend the use of cards saying "I'm Following You" or those simply depicting a handgun. People here have been killed for far less. And how exactly is paging through a book of flip cards while driving any less irresponsible than driving poorly in the first place?
Whatever. I could use the "Get out of the fast lane, moron" card about ten times a day.
ever since i moved out to richmond, i see ALL manner of stupid when driving into work to the galleria area each morning.
i need these flashcards. i’ll pull them out of the book, attach them to a stick and wave them happily the neanderthals that need lessons in driving!
I have said for years that I wanted to cover the back window of my car with lettering, Old English gangsta-style of course, that reads, “Hang up your fucking phone.” Even without the profanity, I bet I’d be dead in a week. It just might be worth it.
YOU ARE NOT KEEPING AUSTIN WEIRD IN THAT BMW SUV!
Be fair, man. Was the BMW a weird color, maybe? Like off-white?
