If you guessed "turning tricks" you would be sorely mistaken, unless you meant teaching and rewarding tricks. Yes, we can only assume that weekends are packed with walks (not long walks on the beach), trips to the grooming salon and snoozing with dog hats and scarves (literally) for this lady. <br /> <br />One can only imagine who she is referring to when she talks about the men in her life. <br /> <br />Suffice it to say that, when she pasted this sticker on the back of her car where she admits insanity to complete strangers, there is a measurable amount of finality in this lady's prospects.</div>

And whenever extreme circumstances take over, we enjoy observing "true color" reactions. Whether people desperately need drama or simply can't fathom the most minute change, weather has brought about the most deliciously entertaining behaviors.<br />
<br />
Is this commuter's expression desperate enough? Can you imagine what their addled thought process was before pulling out onto a major road?<br /><br />It isn't even as if this is the day after some sweeping storm: just get a gander at the road conditions. No, this driver will never be affected by anything behind them.

The question isn't so much why <a href="http://theconversation.com/michael-jackson-in-life-he-was-the-king-of-pop-in-death-could-he-have-set-a-legal-precedent-23151" target="_blank">Michael Jackson</a> is on the back of this ride but, rather, why we don't see him on the back of vehicles more often, right? He <i>is</i> responsible for indisputably iconic tunes, if not formerly living proof to an entire generation that ethnicity and sexuality could be quite confusing.<br /><br />
We're not suggesting that you print, cut out and tape up random pictures of the King of Pop, as this driver has seen fit to do. After all, isn't this the kind of garbage that is on sale somewhere?<br /><br />
Surely there must be some better way to memorialize his accomplishments. We do, however, prefer weird photos over cars shuddering under the weight of deafening music. </div>

This tailgate graffiti is an excellent example that not everyone enjoys even passing moments of such lucidity.<br /><br />To be fair, we could Google EA and TEF and perhaps it might clear up this little misunderstanding. However, much like QR codes on commercial vehicles, do you really want to communicate with those people who have so little time on their hands that they choose to make the time to find out?<br /><br />If the point of awareness ribbons is self-evident, then we admire the dim-witted commuter who so dutifully slapped this baby on.

What about a well-known brand of bacon?<br /><br />Don't misunderstand: <a href="http://www.bacontoday.com/" target="_blank">bacon</a> is extremely dear to our hearts.

We understand: the US is packed with people who just <a href="http://tailgateconfession.blogspot.com/search/label/Patriotism" target="_blank">can't claim an identity</a> beyond their ethnicity, whether right of the boat or a distant descendant. All that said, we imagine that this driver probably could do more to turn down the Irish. After all, the only expression missing from this ride is a paw print that says, "my dog howls Danny Boy" and a leprechaun making some kind of gesture.<br /><br />Where <i>would</i> the US be without foreigners (or <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ux8nYxEoUk&feature=kp" target="_blank">Foreigner</a>)? Just ask your friendly neighborhood Native American, we are willing to wager they might have an idea or seven.<br /><br />Since there's no mistaking that most Americans aren't really from here anyway, this commuter can high-step tap dance that truth all the way to the pub for a pint.

We aren't above flying an American flag on the house and studying US involvement in historical military conflicts. We don't, however, own a flag handkerchief or bumper art that round-house kicks "these colors don't run" <i>in your face</i>.<br />
<br />
Though you may dress like a flag and buy expensive fireworks on July 4th, that voice from our conscience suggests that real patriotism looks a bit different. It may even startle you in it's idealism where violence, though a last resort, is clearly on the table and personal and physical sacrifice is a sacred rite.<br />
<br />
We like to think that this R stands for "revolution" and refers to some colonists ejecting England from our shores a couple hundred years ago. We do apologize, however, if this commuter instead lays a steroid-laced barely intelligible cowboy smack down on you for not seeming 'Merican (whatever that is). That behavior is simply not patriotic.Sniperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05725858191051802036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5152636571092432121.post-16756256203249881232014-02-04T04:54:00.000-08:002014-02-04T04:54:00.696-08:00Funky Smelling<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUhM2LeexNYqKyFkgyUDB4qm6wg_6FTsumTdyBaJTOc0TmjhtKP2eXpOBwTImV7IMjnqP1j6TxvnsnIdcNXNnGZtPO4YL-RK4HzViARvy5QdC5ST0ZqMJbIZ86p_tLpG-SY2w4wXMpRx0/s640/blogger-image--1360247490.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUhM2LeexNYqKyFkgyUDB4qm6wg_6FTsumTdyBaJTOc0TmjhtKP2eXpOBwTImV7IMjnqP1j6TxvnsnIdcNXNnGZtPO4YL-RK4HzViARvy5QdC5ST0ZqMJbIZ86p_tLpG-SY2w4wXMpRx0/s320/blogger-image--1360247490.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="320" /></a><br />
Sometimes you say things without thinking. A phrase just comes flying out and, once it's there, you can't unring that bell. We find the awkwardness that follows such flabbergastion as altogether... enchanting.<br />
<br />
When you consider the multitude and magnitude of misfired social media posts, you must gasp in order to keep your breath. In short, the enchantment just lasts longer.<br />
<br />
As is the case with all tailgate graffiti, the embarrassing truth is that professing love for a rotten-sounding (and undoubtedly, smelling) vagabond is as ignominious as it is premeditated.

It is certainly not high in temperature or pleasing to the eye. No, it is wierd.<br /><br />The good news here is that, unlike the times when your compatriot is sporting an obstrusive booger or toilet paper is caught on your shoe at a party, this driver is well-aware.

We are of the opinion that the paw prints with customized text has spiraled out of control. Alas, this sighting is hardly exhibit A; it really is more like exhibit W.<br />
<br />
We are fans of snarky discourse and readily partake in all manner of witty banter, derogatory or not. However, as has been widely reported with the recent scandal involving Mitt Romney's family (or more specifically, his black grandchild), <a href="http://newsbusters.org/blogs/tim-graham/2013/12/31/msnbc-panel-mocks-romneys-adopted-black-grandchild-apologies-follow" target="_blank">Melissa Harris-Perry</a> has proven that children are off limits.<br />

So we are forced to put his commuter on notice: think referring to your pet indemnifies you from such responsibility? Think again, dog lover. Owning a canine does not give you free reign to comment on parenting.Sniperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05725858191051802036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5152636571092432121.post-30758629189946092482014-01-14T04:15:00.000-08:002014-01-14T04:15:00.050-08:00Classic<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzahSfQ2_pT84bNj2v6x62YKd7P7UijJbaUdvVbUguJY9OIZ6V6SetRPib2N4AW9_BM4FI6tRbo5oLvsPXDfQROtbPGsIiflHJwKJtaCzn217dvjHY1tXOAtkPHqbqRM19NXMDNZOF2yo/s640/blogger-image--1965449689.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzahSfQ2_pT84bNj2v6x62YKd7P7UijJbaUdvVbUguJY9OIZ6V6SetRPib2N4AW9_BM4FI6tRbo5oLvsPXDfQROtbPGsIiflHJwKJtaCzn217dvjHY1tXOAtkPHqbqRM19NXMDNZOF2yo/s320/blogger-image--1965449689.jpg" width="320" /></a>Unlike so many of the bumper vomit that we witness, this vehicle owner acquired this decor for free. And that is the way it should be: we all drive to get somewhere, not to say something.<br /><br />It strikes us as perfectly American, not just a malady of the rich, that conveyance from point A to B has somehow mutated into anything more that mere transportation. <br /><br />Imagine, instead, if this driver had to pay somebody to beautify their vehicle in this way. Whether you judge it as ugly or magnificent, the made-in-the-USA art would have cost a small fortune.<br /><br />And so we applaud this <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">aficionado </span>of mobile graffiti.

Does that make us crude? Be that as it may, please lump us in with centuries of people who appreciate a great bosom.<br />
<br />
Yet, even owning such appreciation, we also fall in line with centuries of people who are weirded out by wide-open, in-your-face breastfeeding. It could be that obtaining milk is not the first thing that comes to mind when considering a set of plush honkers.<br />
<br />
But our better judgement screams that we simply don't love all breasts at all times; particularly at sporting events, museums, malls and in the workplace. Just like that <a href="http://trib.com/special-section/health-med-fit/art/cover-your-muffin-top-and-other-rules-for-dressing-your/article_93115294-8ab1-5445-bcaa-185aa17fde34.html" target="_blank">muffin top</a> that runneth over, ladies: simply because you in fact have the anatomy <i>does not</i> mean you can't put it away.Sniperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05725858191051802036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5152636571092432121.post-7304793698324688842014-01-07T04:11:00.000-08:002014-01-07T04:11:00.126-08:00Out of Bounds<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWEYJUo4-5QJeI6O-xz0AHJ57BSKaDPpaof3-NntKWkwsPdCXK7KrZ7jmXRZpbXoFQrscfQ3I9ElecqTHpmRFvxtlI75tDnEmJweYeYs36VrwexXjUiPb37L_KFCKiCfGyLeiUuFD0W44/s640/blogger-image-2010945573.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWEYJUo4-5QJeI6O-xz0AHJ57BSKaDPpaof3-NntKWkwsPdCXK7KrZ7jmXRZpbXoFQrscfQ3I9ElecqTHpmRFvxtlI75tDnEmJweYeYs36VrwexXjUiPb37L_KFCKiCfGyLeiUuFD0W44/s320/blogger-image-2010945573.jpg" width="320" /></a>You'll have to assume that we are hardly the politically correct police. The phrase "race relations" is only ever used by vapid talking heads filling unspeakably low viewership air time. In fact, we tend to believe that stereotypes are labeled as such for very good reason: with occasional exceptions, they hold true.<br />
<br />That said, Martin Luther King, Jr. is indisputably a hero and this stick family ventures a distance beyond culturally acceptable. We aren't sure what the other <a href="http://tailgateconfession.blogspot.com/p/the-revolution.html" target="_blank">bumper garbage</a> signifies (perhaps a weightlifting family?) but the Ku Klux Klan member on the left must put this commuter in danger of random acts of violence.<br />
<br />We also assume that sporting it on the back of the minivan renders the wearing of masks by the Klan relatively irrelevant.Sniperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05725858191051802036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5152636571092432121.post-90323416487244150552013-12-24T10:56:00.004-08:002013-12-24T10:56:58.879-08:00L'Chaim!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis45dOUmt7nSvteNq4FhsM4yzaRASIHUmTPfalDhpjFGQM-Kz4qqpRYTMV2KFzVtBcNyPWsdv3-0MA9jeL3JkPDiQG-fYwj5GDHNUaHrdzO8NSDtTs9oYSwImTU6QJmCwwrZF7XK-CCso/s640/blogger-image--1293646498.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis45dOUmt7nSvteNq4FhsM4yzaRASIHUmTPfalDhpjFGQM-Kz4qqpRYTMV2KFzVtBcNyPWsdv3-0MA9jeL3JkPDiQG-fYwj5GDHNUaHrdzO8NSDtTs9oYSwImTU6QJmCwwrZF7XK-CCso/s320/blogger-image--1293646498.jpg" width="320" /></a>It isn't with much humility and, in fact, it's with great severity that we take issue with this commuter. We don't even know anjali but something about it makes us certain we would detest her.<br /><br />If dancing is life, then we are convinced that credit card fraud is your Christmas present. Whether it's falling asleep or getting out of Dodge, we've never actually been able to make it through an entire dance performance. We'd like to think that it isn't a lack of culture so much as a preference for watching paint dry.<br /><br />Or perhaps it is that we have never lived? If that is in fact the case, then we just ask that someone unplug us from the matrix when you get a chance.

Leave it to the <a href="http://tailgateconfession.blogspot.com/2013/08/how-so.html" target="_blank">driver of a Bimmer</a> to assume the identity of the greatest city on God's green earth. <br />
<br />
Given such a voice, what would the 8.3 million residents of Gotham say about this? Okay, perhaps much of it isn't exactly fit to print. Suffice it to say that you could predict the abrasive <a href="http://wirednewyork.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12771" target="_blank">New York attitude</a>: these are a people who were known as driven and tough even before 2001.<br />
<br />
Or perhaps this commuter is claiming to represent all of the Empire State? With such a varied land mass and population you get the gist of where we're going. And so we put this driver on notice: take it down a few notches. You might claim a zip code but even that is unlikely.Sniperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05725858191051802036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5152636571092432121.post-73322619587304224742013-11-13T04:40:00.000-08:002013-11-13T04:40:00.140-08:00Illustrious<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFS53wMQf8VKGR_72EYNPJqY3LUEgdxBHBQkV84QDF8qmrkhxZ5zEwyCrfH6IsCmDOvR2NaShM44t6weT2REpthtVN94xkHso5Mt1u_yroRQRI0OXudoqA_PcwALmY7CX569xTv68qpfA/s640/blogger-image--1788126504.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFS53wMQf8VKGR_72EYNPJqY3LUEgdxBHBQkV84QDF8qmrkhxZ5zEwyCrfH6IsCmDOvR2NaShM44t6weT2REpthtVN94xkHso5Mt1u_yroRQRI0OXudoqA_PcwALmY7CX569xTv68qpfA/s320/blogger-image--1788126504.jpg" width="320" /></a>Were you also completely unaware that Westies have reached such a level of prominence? Somone call Cindi Lauper: we smell a new hit here. Girls may have fun but these diminutive and overly needy canines simply have more of it.<br /><br />And, if that weren't revelation enough, this mere animal's fame rivals both peace AND love. Maybe it's just us, but perhaps John Lennon overlooked such a beast during his introspective quest to reach nirvana?<br /><br />Alas, we must take issue with this commuter's most deeply held beliefs, or at least those being assumed in their drug-induced, semi-conscious state.

Where would this blog be but for inflated egos and naked vanity? Some people just don't age as gracefully or maintain their appearance as well as their peers. For every Tom Selleck there is bound to be at least 15 Al Pacinos. <br /><br />Don't think so? Simply reverse the genders then. How many Meg Ryans do you think there are for every Jane Seymour? And just remember: plastic surgeons aren't on trial here.<br /><br />Perhaps these people are just more comfortable in their own skin. After all, eyeglasses chains, hair sticks in the bun and Charlie Brown's sweater with a bowtie are really pushing the 65 and "lovin' it" envelope.Sniperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05725858191051802036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5152636571092432121.post-20789503075062629982013-11-08T04:00:00.000-08:002013-11-08T04:00:06.797-08:00Sunbleached<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnRm54ELMcLZi0B774qJQdfDpjVHjO3CyJbCyj8ULWXU0uxhJrGM_6Iydsm6hqFWm-egxdK0MZTVlNkhVgmANofK5Lt64dokOWlxZ_Tv2yXU7c11qRs_FjPJZlGeHVcoS8jgH8f-xqK1Q/s640/blogger-image-1146401857.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnRm54ELMcLZi0B774qJQdfDpjVHjO3CyJbCyj8ULWXU0uxhJrGM_6Iydsm6hqFWm-egxdK0MZTVlNkhVgmANofK5Lt64dokOWlxZ_Tv2yXU7c11qRs_FjPJZlGeHVcoS8jgH8f-xqK1Q/s320/blogger-image-1146401857.jpg" width="320" /></a>What happens to stickers that you slap on your ride after spending your hard-earned cash? Besides communicating some completely random aspect of who you are (or perhaps were), they simply bake in the penetrating sun. If you are apparently very fortunate, your stickers will one day be the same color as your ride.<br /><br />Ruined? Worthless? Even if you could somehow pressure blast them off, you'd be crazy to. After all, eventually they will be retro and even look the part.<br /><br />At that point, why not simply plaster the entire vehicle with fairly unrelated mementos of bygone days? The application does give it a certain something; what that is, we won't say.Sniperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05725858191051802036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5152636571092432121.post-83973361652194741152013-11-07T04:21:00.000-08:002013-11-07T04:21:00.231-08:00Self-Disrespect<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7ZZBWJl9r54SwKvi7UvXVHyjBaDW6CwmOf5nZV1OvVplkPszHCqadts-_kq5-kKgK_Lavp2eHKhFnbNaI-oUjc93AcjGAeT6cDBvoHyC8Sru4vtjF9VUEEjRrEeuN6PWEB1_Yf6BAmbw/s640/blogger-image-995967466.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7ZZBWJl9r54SwKvi7UvXVHyjBaDW6CwmOf5nZV1OvVplkPszHCqadts-_kq5-kKgK_Lavp2eHKhFnbNaI-oUjc93AcjGAeT6cDBvoHyC8Sru4vtjF9VUEEjRrEeuN6PWEB1_Yf6BAmbw/s320/blogger-image-995967466.jpg" width="320" /></a>We really do try to stay away from passing judgement on people's self image. Most of the hooligans we deal with on this blog are relatively brazen with over-inflated egos to the point where they inflict some representation of themselves on utter strangers, much like the party fouls on <a href="http://tailgateconfession.blogspot.com/2012/11/confessions-of-one-kind-and-quite.html" target="_blank">social media</a>.<br /><br />Occasionally, as happens on those social media, you run across <a href="http://tailgateconfession.blogspot.com/2013/10/median.html" target="_blank">open self-loathing</a> and simply cannot look away. Like the portrait buyer on Seinfeld who views Kramer's image, it disgusts us. <br /><br />A point of clarification: this commuter doesn't purport complete worthlessness. No, instead they claim a value of one penny. As long as they stay in the US, they are worth something. However, if they travel to the UK or EU, it's a decidedly different story.Sniperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05725858191051802036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5152636571092432121.post-35929293851787279312013-11-06T04:13:00.000-08:002013-11-06T04:13:00.111-08:00Scubadriver<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC4mSQPtvLtZn-sa7PsshUBJxI52EpLGyfslny6KDbVDtP7TXy-DUF0E5GkvATPRgI4PaOCiYzZCRQ1XPd2kU1Ln2DFba3dQmSLK1De2RGggAB7gXPqprgSedcEpZtQts3gdbZ1cMM4TY/s640/blogger-image-139439004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC4mSQPtvLtZn-sa7PsshUBJxI52EpLGyfslny6KDbVDtP7TXy-DUF0E5GkvATPRgI4PaOCiYzZCRQ1XPd2kU1Ln2DFba3dQmSLK1De2RGggAB7gXPqprgSedcEpZtQts3gdbZ1cMM4TY/s320/blogger-image-139439004.jpg" width="320" /></a>Like all graffiti posted on the back of vehicles these days, we question whether this swimmer has really thought it through. So you might enjoy scuba, you might even be certified. So what? We might be a budding apiarist but does that mean we expect the world to care? Only if you buy our sweet, sweet honey.<br /><br />Of course, you really should be ready for a seamless transition from driving on a road to scuba diving through your window if you're James Bond or Jason Borne. Then again, if you advertise such skill on the back of your ride, the observant villains will likely try to take you another way.<br /><br />We can offer no decent reason for such a display, apart from open bumper braggery.

Oh sure, we are <i>positive </i>that crossed your mind.<br />
<br />
We question whether such a bumper burn is necessary. After all, do you really want to get up too close to the back of a horse? At some point one must start to wonder whether being kicked is the preferable consequence for such closeness.<br />

Then you hear stories like <a href="http://www.nzherald.co.nz/bay-of-plenty-times/news/article.cfm?c_id=1503343&objectid=11139474" target="_blank">this one</a> where a New Zealander suffered a broken leg after being kicked by a horse <i>while he was mounted on another horse</i>. Makes you rethink; a little horse manure never broke anyone's leg.Sniperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05725858191051802036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5152636571092432121.post-24460155534325247552013-10-25T04:06:00.000-07:002013-10-25T04:06:00.552-07:00Median<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqVQt5sBgGd8k5m5Fal_BzL1C3fhEANXrj2zA8YOL91pdjESvcqha_dXTif12p8joNnXrCxqWBXlN9FgxCKqRCsdgVtbbmsr_0lxjuks1yFn4axgYtlp_4NnJrborloRPSFYzrbQ-UbLQ/s640/blogger-image--933278880.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqVQt5sBgGd8k5m5Fal_BzL1C3fhEANXrj2zA8YOL91pdjESvcqha_dXTif12p8joNnXrCxqWBXlN9FgxCKqRCsdgVtbbmsr_0lxjuks1yFn4axgYtlp_4NnJrborloRPSFYzrbQ-UbLQ/s320/blogger-image--933278880.jpg" width="320" /></a>What would it be like if we all could be this honest with ourselves? The revelation is as foreign as openly admitting to a banking officer that we harbor no intention of repaying a debt and yet still expecting to receive the loan.<br />
<br />
We never heard <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMAi6JwxlGo" target="_blank">Ward Cleaver say to a sniveling Beaver</a>, "Son, I'll never be a great or even good dad. I'll just be mediocre." Such a pronouncement would have ended the whole series. Parents are hardwired to do more and better and, if you can't, certainly don't tell anyone, much less complete strangers.<br />
<br />
And so we wonder whether this mother possesses a strong dose of apathy or some stroke of genius. To be sure, owning your station as an average parent might free you from crushing levels of expectation.Sniperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05725858191051802036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5152636571092432121.post-680787539853634832013-10-24T04:44:00.001-07:002013-10-25T08:19:01.109-07:00Beware of Dog<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCPIT1E3tWXBe8-tUkxzRUeKDNSzv_NXOL9QO2yehF4ONTX_hf3WSXrvequlhK3IlRHeshPk4cUHLZLnNF2O2AR7Hx4-DZUKeaSATo_LjMI7kRMGYSgpL4Qxa0Bcazx1Rv_2TA2oLnTiA/s640/blogger-image--1634832646.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCPIT1E3tWXBe8-tUkxzRUeKDNSzv_NXOL9QO2yehF4ONTX_hf3WSXrvequlhK3IlRHeshPk4cUHLZLnNF2O2AR7Hx4-DZUKeaSATo_LjMI7kRMGYSgpL4Qxa0Bcazx1Rv_2TA2oLnTiA/s320/blogger-image--1634832646.jpg" width="320" /></a>We aren't used to seeing paw prints so threateningly imprinted. Sure, we are entertained by the animal love ones like <a href="http://tailgateconfession.blogspot.com/2013/05/humane-rescue.html" target="_blank">this</a> and <a href="http://tailgateconfession.blogspot.com/2013/08/pedigree.html" target="_blank">that</a>. Rather than play on your heart strings, this driver takes the shotgun approach.<br />
<br />
And why not? Many people leave their canines in the car in parking lots... in desert heat, right? At least they did you the favor of letting you know that this dog has bite to go with its tormented bark.<br />
<br />
You see these signs all over inner city streets and rural trailer parks, so why is it very different if this dwelling on wheels actually moves? And so we applaud this genius for having the foresight to take no trespassing signs to the next level.Sniperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05725858191051802036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5152636571092432121.post-27217917457704837392013-10-23T04:25:00.000-07:002013-10-25T08:18:48.766-07:00Movement #2<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs6zkPV1_pYeoeF1XVp4zOsOkVcU6HML5ifCqE3DSE2b9Cl-3MqNi710ee_YHZW7LGSSZ2E3xOCbkc-WTEK5n7N0I5lOkv3aoGiNa4jyhvFA3Uo7LE0WQAghiuDXDdUyhpkdZPiXRhdek/s640/blogger-image-937865041.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs6zkPV1_pYeoeF1XVp4zOsOkVcU6HML5ifCqE3DSE2b9Cl-3MqNi710ee_YHZW7LGSSZ2E3xOCbkc-WTEK5n7N0I5lOkv3aoGiNa4jyhvFA3Uo7LE0WQAghiuDXDdUyhpkdZPiXRhdek/s320/blogger-image-937865041.jpg" width="320" /></a>Have we mentioned just how sophisticated we believe we are? Some shun organic gourmet foods for the simple, all-you-can-eat buffets. Others pass up full-bodied wine for fistfulls of <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/16/carol-frances-omeara_n_4110258.html" target="_blank">Colt 45</a>. Still others scoff at classical music for today's top hits (whatever genre that is). This commuter knows better.<br />
<br />
Now, perhaps more than ever, classical music seems woefully under appreciated. It isn't just showing up to world-class music halls the youngest person by 20 years, such music is frequently treated like an alarm clock by the younger generations. Yet what could be more classic than classical music?<br />
<br />
And so, we refer you to <a href="http://siblingrevelryblog.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Sibling Revelry</a>, a blogging voyage of classical discovery complete with history, personal perspectives and video of highlighted pieces.<br /><br />Shout out to SJ of NJ.
