A new client selected me because of my IMPEACH BUSH sticker
Edited on Fri Jul-07-06 01:44 PM by Prisoner_Number_Six
I get a moderate amount of business because of the business signs I have on my car, but this is the first time a new client told me he decided to make use of my computer repair service specifically because of the stickers on the back of my vehicle.

I have a few- my Air Force sticker, a "It's not that I'm old- your music really DOES suck" sticker, a "The first casualty of war is truth" sticker, and my Democratic Underground sticker (natch!)- but the centerpiece (noted by me here before) is my IMPEACH BUSH sticker. This is the one that caused this particular commercial airline jet pilot to write down my number and call me for an appointment.

As I've said before, this is in DALLAS TEXAS. I get thumbs up all the time from fellow drivers, but this one is special to me.

DON'T BE AFRAID TO ANNOUNCE YOUR POSITION IN PUBLIC. When you do this, you never know WHO will see it and what positive thing will happen!!!

4. Can't remember the exact name of the store
I do know it has more than one mall location- "Something Imports"- they sell a lot of polished rocks, incense, beadwork, and stuff like that. They also have a large rack of stickers and assorted pin-on buttons. If the name of the store drops on my head I'll update the thread.

13. That new-fangled music?
I thought you meant OLD music, like Duke Ellington, Beethoven, or Monteverdi! :D

18. LOL! I had him down but erased it.
Louis Armstrong is one of my childhood heros ever since I saw him play. Love Johnny Cash too, and Bach... I arranged lots of Bach for classical guitar, and played an entire cello suite for my degree recital (I have a masters degree in music). I did research for my PhD in musicology (which I never finished) in medaeval and renaissance music... OLD music! :D

To be honest, Pink Floyed is one of my all time favorite bands, and Captain Beefheart is a mad genius! :evilgrin:

Did you see my links to Zappa videos from youtube? Here's my poor thread that sank in the Lounge:

21. Zappa was miles above all the others
Edited on Fri Jul-07-06 09:01 PM by Prisoner_Number_Six
He died WAY too soon. Thanks for the links!

It's funny- the thing that always comes to mind when I think of him is his son Dweezil's role as Ajax on Duck Man. :rofl:

Go figure. :shrug:

10. You should get pro-Bush and GOP stickers for you car instead
then freepers will come to you for computer repair, and you can find all the twisted porn they've been viewing

12. Dirty money (in more ways than one!)
Besides, I don't think there are that many pro-shrubbies left out there... :P

19. My conservative co-worker.....
was contemptuously describing Bush saying what a nice guy Ken Lay was. I told her Lay was Bush's largest contributor and, she said she wasn't surprised. I dared not push her further.
