...so, this is a thing that happened...

[tree_talking]

My husband has this on the back of his car.

(Even when we were Evangelical, we didn't have a "Jesus fish" on the back of the car. I mean, how do you drive in a "Christian" manner?)

A lady decided to get OUT OF HER CAR during a red light and start rebuking my husband, loudly. She held up traffic, as well.

I see plenty of "offensive" things on the backs of people's cars. It's their freakin' right to have it.

Christians, please. If you can have the WALL of bumperstickers (ABORTION STOPS A BEATING HEART! MY BOSS IS A JEWISH CARPENTER! KNOW JESUS, KNOW PEACE!) on the back of YOUR car, we can have our Sushi fish and our "Coexist" sticker.


I have a "Coexist" sticker and also one that says "Love your neighbor implies not killing them."

I'm going to get something with fairies on it next. :)

I have the Cthulhu fish on my van's Wall O' Stickers. I also have one that reads: If you believe you can tell me what to think, I believe I can tell you where to go.

Fairies . . . sounds like a very good idea. :D

[tree_talking]

heeee. I like that sticker.

Yeah, I'm liking the fairies idea more and more and now am contemplating a tattoo.

Honestly, tattoos are not something I ever thought I'd seriously be considering but...I am. :)

You touched a passion nerve . . .

[jungle_goddess]

Thank you! :)

Old story: I was 43 years old when I got my first tattoo, after contemplating the idea for about 5 years or so. I got two more that same year. Now, almost 7 years later, I'm up to seven, with number 8 in the planning stage. That's not to say you'll get hooked on them (but I was told they can be addictive). The biggest caveat is to think very VERY carefully about what ink you want and where you want it. It's not a venture to be entered into lightly. Unlike marriage, you're really stuck with ink for the rest of your life (unless you want to go through the more uncomfortable process of removal).

Having said that, have fun with it and post a pic if you should decide to do it.

P.S.: That's my latest ink in my icon pic. Our daughter has loved theater since high school and now is a senior in theater/education in college. Okay, I'm done. :D

Re: You touched a passion nerve . . .

[tree_talking]

Yeah, definitely waiting a while before I get any ink done. I want to find the *right* design. It's going on my left shoulder, when I do find it.

I have another design in mind for a different tattoo I've been toying with for years but that's going to be for a Very Special Occasion that may or may not happen.

But thanks for the advice! It's the first time I've felt really strongly about having a tattoo of any sort really.

Re: You touched a passion nerve . . .

[jungle_goddess]

Glad I could help. :)

My first ink wasn't actually my first choice. I brought two designs with me but went with the second idea first. In fact, the one I originally thought I wanted to do first ended up being my third tattoo. Go fig.

Oh man, if I got out of the car every time I saw a bumper sticker that bummed me out, I'd never get off my street! Grumpy Lady needs to be prescribed what I like to call medical marijuana.

LOVE the sushi fish! I've never seen it before! :-D

I'll take the hamachi roll, please.

[shellebelle93.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I now have a serious craving for sushi at the moment... dammit.

I agree with your medical assessment.

[in-the-blue.livejournal.com]

I love your sushi fish. Just saying.

People are fucked up in so many ways.

[shellebelle93.livejournal.com]

They so are. It's puzzling.

:D our poor, cheerful little sushi fish, minding it's own business just hanging out on the back of our car...

[queenriley.livejournal.com]

Sushi Fish is awesome! I want a Gefilte Fish. I think they're hilarious.

People are stupid. I'm sorry he dealt with that.

[shellebelle93.livejournal.com]

Hee, yes, I've seen the Gefilte ones. They're awesomecakes.

Me too. It just makes me sad that people have that little of a sense of humor.

[aristoboule.livejournal.com]

you should get it the Darwin fish friend!

[shellebelle93.livejournal.com]

I was actually thikning about getting that one for my own car, but honestly, I think I'd rather have the fairies...

[crystalgee.livejournal.com]

I chuckled at that sign and didn't find it offensive at all. Okay, I am offended that I am wanting sushi right now. :P All kidding aside-I heard of road rage but road rebuking?? Wow, that's messed up! This person strikes me as someone who could have thrown the first stone at the woman. Hmm what's that line about white tombs full of stinking bones??

*shakes head*
Get that fairies one.. do it!

[soundwave106.livejournal.com]

Yeah, seriously, you need to have an *awful* sense of humor to go into road rage over the sushi fish.

[shellebelle93.livejournal.com]

sense of humor? surely you jest! ;)

[crystalgee.livejournal.com]

Hmmm maybe that's why she rebuked him..she was stricken with a craving for sushi and her favorite chef was out of town. *smirks*

[soundwave106.livejournal.com]

Either that, or she just hated sushi, getting squigged out over raw fish or something.

[shellebelle93.livejournal.com]

I am going to get it! *nods* There's also a lovely one of the Wheel of the Year I was considering...

and yes. Now I want sushi so badly...

Oh, where Jesus was telling the Pharasees (I believe) that they were outwardly pure but inside were full of evil, like whited sepulchers? It's actually one of the bits I like the best. :D

[ysidro]

I've known plenty of people who have had encounters of road rage and even vandalism (usually just anonymous vandalism) over a Darwin fish, but this? This is a first to me!

[shellebelle93.livejournal.com]

Yyeah, for us too. I never would ever consider such a thing.

Well, it makes for an interesting story...

[proudofthefish.livejournal.com]

No words to convey how flabbergastered I am by that nonsense.

[shellebelle93.livejournal.com]

It's pretty amazing, isn't it? I don't even know.

[canadabear.livejournal.com]

I'm clearly Out of the Loop. What is this fish supposed to imply, other than food?

[shellebelle93.livejournal.com]

hehe, sorry so late on this: the shape of the fish (sans sushi/darwin/what have you) is a thing that people who are Christians put on their cars quite often. http://www.seiyaku.com/customs/fish/fish.html Parodies of the symbol (as used by Christians) are actually quite popular.

Usually, we don't get people rebuking us, though. ;)

Jeeesus. Lady needs to repent and consider her actions.

All this talk about stickers and car magnets reminds me of the one I saw years ago in New Orleans in 2006-it was a cross of Fleur Di Lis. I didn't get that but a purple, green and gold one instead but I wish I had gotten the other one. Should I find it online I'll get it.
My friend got the cross one but his was stolen sorry to say. I hope it was someone who found it neat instead of someone who removed it due to blasphemy. *Silly notion but you can see why I'd think that*
