F...26.2 Stickers

GMScud · 06-05-2011, 06:08 PM

I think bumper stickers in general are stupid, especially all the political ones. But really, no one gives a shit how far you've ran, if your kid gets A's in school, if you like Obama, if you want to co-exist, if you've been to VT, if you want to consider WWJD, if you're against war and abortion, or any other damn thing. Keep that crap to yourself. NO ONE cares. I have a UF alumi license plate frame, but that's as far as it goes.

Just saw a car tonight with a 26.2 and a 13.1

I ran a bit more than a mile yesterday. Gonna make my own 1.1 bumper sticker.

Tup totally agree.
The only one I've ever owned was a Holy Cow Brewery sticker I put on my old beater Pontiac which I sold long ago.

My wife has a 13.1 on her car, she was definitely proud of herself for doing it and in no way is saying she is better than those who didn't.

I think TMC is is inflicting his own emotions into the sticker. Just like when someone reads a email totally wrong then what you attended it to be. My dad is that way I seriously can only write him quick answers otherwise he take the whole thing out of context.

lol good one

I'm rocking my 1.75 sticker right now, working on the couch to 5k app

I agree, the 26.2 is douchy. If you graduated from a good college and you put that sticker out there, I don't mind that because that's a REAL accomplishment.

Gee you ran 26.2 miles at one time. Is that hard? Sure. Does it mean much of anything? No.

On the kids' honor roll bumper stickers, I do have a bit of a different opinion though. I agree it comes across pretentious until you think about it from the 6 year old's point of view. He just got a good report card, he's proud, he sees other kids' moms with the bumper sticker on the car, and now he's earned it too. Are you as a parent going to tell him no?

If you did, you'd be a bigger douche than the parent who displays them proudly.

Real what is douche is getting upset over a piece of paper stuck to someones car.

FRPLG · 06-06-2011, 09:18 AM

I don't know. I run a good amount. I'd never put a sticker on my car like that because I think it is a little too boastful for my taste but at the same time I don't see them and think the person is a dick. I generally think it is more of a "I'm in the club" type thing.

Ruhskins · 06-06-2011, 09:43 AM

Wait, people actually buy these things? For some reason I thought they were given out when you ran a marathon or something. I'm not a big fan of bumper stickers, and the only one I have is a small Terps sticker on my old Chevy Tracker. I don't really care by the 26.2 stickers, but I can see your point TMC.

I agree with you on that. I was actually thinking that when people were slamming the honor roll bumper stickers. I think I remember pressuring my parents into putting one of mine on their car at one point and I think they resisted a little. As an adult, I can understand why they resisted; I don't really like bumper stickers, but when I'm a parent, I think I'll just put it on there so that my child can feel good about it.

MTK · 06-06-2011, 12:54 PM

Well, I do think the honor roll thing is dumb personally. If my kid wanted me to put one on my car I'd have to politely find a way around it. Sorry kid, stickers don't belong on cars.

Oh! So now you're against your own kid's freedom of speech? You repressive douche!

As I recall growing up I had little real freedom living "under my parent's roof".
