It makes yields signs quake in their cement founding. BABY ON BOARD. You’ve seen them; plastered on cars and minivans, etc. Now, although I may believe that I know everything, there are other things that I just have a clue about. This is one of them.
You put a baby on board sign on the window of your car. Alright, so I’ll make sure that I don’t hit your car at 60 mph, but if I won’t worry so much about hitting one that says If It’s a Rockin’ Don’t Come a Knockin’. I mean what is this? I’m sorry Moms, Dads, and Parents around the US, but I value not putting a scratch on my car more than I value driving extra-safely around you because you have a baby on board. Is that what the sign is supposed to enforce? Safe driving?
Did these people ever consider the fact that I am more likely to be in a accident trying to read what the hell you have plastered on the side of your window than focusing on driving? Okay, sure, that was a little over the top. I have bumper stickers. I know that means people are more likely to ride my ass just to read the stickers than because I cut them off or something. But, I will take this ‘hazardous’ driving from others if it means they will read what I wish to promote or condone. But Baby on Board? I just don’t get it. Do people want to advertise the fact that they ovulated properly, or fertilized successfully? Or is Baby on Board a sign to keep people from leaving babies in the car. Is it a public disclaimer saying, check my car for a child and break in if you see him baking to death? Harsh, I know, but this is about the only good or useful thing I think it could be used for.
Yeah maybe I should put Handsome Rich Young Man on Board. That should keep people from clipping me, right? At the very least it will it keep me out of accidents because the cutie driving next to me will be laughing so hard she runs the red in front of her. Just joking. Stop vehicular infanticide, get BABY ON BOARD!!!

Ravings, rantings, and gibberish. (36)

What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!

|  | We're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)
We call it insight, you call it what you will. | |
