I wonder what people from deep red states think when they see that van with CA plates and all the stickers? They might jump to the conclusion that a very liberal older white retired couple own it. First, they'd try to figure out what language those stickers are in. |

Last time I had a car sticker was in college when I had a steel your face and skull n roses.
Got a bunch on my bear canister. Wonder if that’s not a great idea as bears love sniffing adhesive.

Why do you say that? Because of this? “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” Mark Twain. Twain also said this about American Indians: His heart is a cesspool of falsehood, of treachery, and of low and devilish instincts. With him, gratitude is an unknown emotion; and when one does him a kindness, it is safest to keep the face toward him, lest the reward be an arrow in the back. To accept of a favor from him is to assume a debt which you can never repay to his satisfaction, though you bankrupt yourself trying. The scum of the earth! Unfortunately hate for identifiable "Others" exists. |

I HATE stickers. Seems like every single thing I order these days comes with stickers. Totally unneccesary waste. And no, I am not going to cover my car with your stickers and give you free advertising, and I don't need show the world how cool I am by covering all my possessions with hip outdoor brands. Hmmm. I find this interesting as the only outdoor gear & apparel company I’ve received a sticker from is Backcountry (their goat sticker). What companies have been sending you stickers? Also, there is a huge Patagonia sub-cult of loyal customers who enjoy collecting the individual store stickers of Patagonia stores across the country & world. Regards, DR |

bears love sniffing adhesive. Oooh, I wonder if Hollywood wants a sequel to Cocaine BearGlue-Sniffing Bear! The antagonist bear will attack & disembowel its victims, in search of stickers on their car or equipment. They’ll OD it by tossing it an ultralight first aid kit that has nothing but super glue. Let’s write a screenplay and pitch Elizabeth Banks. Take her to dinner & hot tubbing. Roll out the red carpet. Gotta hurry, before somebody writes Paint-Huffing Bear or Fentanyl Bear |

I had to Google who Elizabeth Banks is and she’ll do for role of gluecaine bear. I think Daniel day Lewis would be good for the role of the bear. I’d like to see him get all method actor for weeks eating dead animals and rubbish in merry old England.

I DO put stickers on my bear cans, because when I work on a trail crew, it's easier to identify which one is mine.

One of the characters will attempt but fail to subdue Glue-Sniffing Bear with homemade bear spray made from genetically modified peppers he grew in his garden.
With his last startled gasps, he'll mutter something about how he thought he had enough Scoville Heat Units.
Squirrels will high-five the bear.

My grandson likes putting stickers on his bike. He's 10, and I don't have a problem with it. I've sewn patches of places I've been onto my duffel bags. Easy to spot in an airport or train station, and no one can say, "Sorry, I thought it was mine."

I don't put stickers on my car because that is what your laptop is for.

I don't put stickers on my car because that is what your laptop is for. Your personal laptop.
As IT I have to support that your work laptop belongs to work. It's sad when I have to clean the stickers from someone's laptop who has been fired to redeploy it (and a time consuming pain). |

What companies have been sending you stickers? Having a hard time remembering them all right now, as I've thrown the stickers all away. I'm pretty sure Garage Grown Gear (a really great operation) sends me a sticker every time I place an order. I recently ordered some guyline from Durston and got a sticker. I think I've gotten several Kuiu stickers recently. I would guess I've gotten over a dozen stickers just over the past year, mostly with very small orders. |
