W.
Posted: November 21, 2006 Filed under: Uncategorized 21 Comments »
My name is Wendy S. and I drive a minivan. This is not my greatest joy. Believe me. There is nothing like a minivan to deter those flirty glances on the highway. Or to make you feel… how do I say…like a utility?
Anyway, I bought this magnetic ‘W’ for the van since there are about 27,243 identical vans in my county. Thought it’d be easier to spot in a parking lot and that maybe, just maybe, it’d give my van a little personality.
But.
One of our friends asked if it was symbolic of a presidential middle initial.
Yikesorama. Never thought of that.
Did you know what the ‘W’ stands for?

Minivans are cool. I’m still hoping J’ will get me one when we increase our brood.
I thought “w” represented Fozzie Bear’s “Waka-waka-waka!”
If I saw a W on the back of a minivan I would assume it was a Bush supporter. (Sorry!) But if I saw a WS I would assume it was initals.
You could always try balancing it was a well placed Pro-Choice bumper sticker. This would at least confuse people, who were silly enough to think W stood for George.
Doh. Unless there are others who think waka-waka-waka is what I meant, I’m going to have to retire the W… If nothing else, for safety’s sake around here!
Let’s just say that if you were driving through Texas, you’d get lots of friendly waves and smiles.
Melissa is right, add the S
yikes…who knew?
I would be more than happy to pass along my “Don’t blame me I voted for Kerry” sticker. That would also heighten confusion. Isn’t it interesting the assumptions we make about bumper stickers? I feel like that would make an excellent quiz.
Just put a ‘B’ for Blanche and you’ll be ok….
i also thought it was a george sticker. does it really stand for weird? wacky? wonderful? how ’bout whatchamacalit?
Maven – it stands for WENDY!
Who’s Wendy?
Just flip it and say it stands for “Mine!”
Yikes a-rama. And you bought me one for my mazda and I NEVER MADE THE CONNECTION! Me, Miss Super Liberal. I feel very guilty. Never thought of “Dubya” cause you and he would never be in the same sentence, let alone in the same room. So I vote for “B” or “WS” Actually, “WS” could be an inside joke – Wendy Scherer or Dubya sucks!
I like the M for mine. But for now, the van is just naked. Just like every other navy blue Honda Odyssey….
i saw your van at the gym the other day and didn’t realize it was yours! i liked the W and the pattern (seriously – i walked up the van and looked at the W. wish i had known you were at the gym)
i didn’t think it was for dubya, but i seem to be in the minority.
If you got yourself a “Somewhere in Texas a village is missing its idiot” bumper sticker to put next to the W, everyone would know what your W doesn’t stand for.
Walker. W = Walker. It’s also his father’s middle name. (Actually, Daddy’s name is George Herbert Walker Bush.)
In my world, W = Wrong, War, Wanker.
George W. Bush, the Worst President EVER.
We have a W with a diagonal line through it (you know, like, no left turn…). It clearly means no Dubya. When I see a W I turn my head and give a dirty look, sorry. I’ll think twice next time!
WoW! I had no idea; you were lucky you weren’t egged in the small amount of time you sported that W awound.
If you had only posted the pic I would have figured you were a staunch Bush supporter!
I get the mini van thing…and if I knew you [for real] and knew the van then of course….
if you were passing me around NOVA/DC/MD – ah…not so much – it would be “Dubya” to me….sorry….
I got personalized tags -
They say “O Skippy”
[makes me smile everytime I see them]
