 [The latest installment of Instinct Website Manager Alex Cho's sporadic musings on being an L.A. gay relocated to the capital of Texas]
Wherever you go, there you are—right? And wherever you are, there are a crapload of crazy bumper stickers that keep reminding you that you're there. Last time, I generally concluded that, yes, everything IS bigger in Texas. This time: People here care about a lot of things, so much so that their cars become driving billboards! Or, perhaps, their trucks, in most cases. Cuz Texas is a truck kinda place.
So I have this game where I use my cell-phone camera to take pictures of crazy bumper stickers that I see when I'm walking around. I thought it would be fun to share a few! I've ranked them in order of interestingness/craziness.
4. Keepin' It Real
If, by "weird," we mean all those tall, hot, scruffy tattooed indie boys with fedoras and carabiner keychains who play both sides of the fence, I'm all about keeping Austin weird.
3. My God Is Better
But OUR God is the Bestest! Yay God! (OK, I know this isn't a sticker, but it's certainly not a pamphlet I'd want lying around MY car.)
2. The "Hardest" Job?
In case you can't tell, the text says, "Marine wife: Toughest job in the corps." I bet you DO have to be tough to be a Marine wife. All that pent up aggro energy to deal with! Somehow...
1. Vive L'Amerique
This one really threw me for a loop.
In case you can't tell, here's a close-up:
Wonder how many he's bagged...

There's a Keep Austin Weird bumper sticker on one on my new neighbor's car. The terrorist hunting permit one is...very Texas.
