I'm bringing sexy back with my band magnet

I had a bunch of errands to run on my way home from work yesterday and I was determined to get them done as quickly as possible and not get crabby doing them. All spiffed up in the work clothes, I drove nearly 2 hours stopping here and there, sitting in traffic, and taking care of returns and hurried needed purchases. Criminy, I hate doing this kind of stuff after work--but you gotta do what you gotta do, right?

After one quick return, I decided to push my limited retail patience and head into the next store to face yet another customer service person to make a return. Surprisingly, the return went quickly and I was back flying through the parking lot to get into my car. I was happy as my heels clickety-clacked on the pavement and I hopped into the van to get to the next stop.

As I was backing up, I noticed 3 hooliganesque teens walking past my car, so I stopped to let them pass. I was watching in my mirror to see that they went safely by so I wouldn't get jail time for running the thugs over, when I noticed that one boy looked at the rear end of my car and pointed. The other two thugs looked at the back end as well, and soon all 3 were yelling and cheering, hootin' and hollerin'. What for, I don't know. I must have had a terrified/confused look on my face because they were pointing at me, at the back end of the mini-van, and screaming.

Okaaayyyy. So, now I'm wondering what on earth do I have on the back of my car that would warrant such a response from some gangstas. Was there a "I'm an idiot" sticker on the bumper? Did I run someone's dog over? I don't think I've got any naked pictures on the back end of my car. Hmmmmmm? My mind was racing.

I drove onto the next stop and the whole time I'm wondering what I've got back there. Then I realize that it's one of two things:

1) My very cool, snappy orange band magnet that boasts my affiliation with The Marching Astros or,
2) My very cool, snappy Lietuva sticker that boasts my affiliation with the homeland of Lithuania.

Somehow, I'm thinking it wasn't the Lietuva sticker, but you never know. Maybe it's cool to be Lithuanian now. I personally think it's always been cool to be Lithuanian, but maybe the rest of the world is catching up. You know, those waders are catching on too, so who's to say what's "cool"?

I'm going with the band magnet. Apparently they must have some knowledge of the band--perhaps they are former band students gone gangsta or maybe they are groupies, who knows? All I know is for one brief shining moment, I was cool. Frightening, isn't it?
