sometimes a half is as good as a hole?

AMERICA ROCKS! Not because of the right  to vote, the electoral college kinda fries the purest form of that concept-America is the greatest country in the world because of bumper stickers. Little Clowey make Student of the Week @ Our Lady of Blessed Ambivilance? In America you can share that pride with everyone sitting behind you at the light. IS your dog as smart as my 5th grader? The ass-end of your car states it, so it must be so! An informal survey of bumper stickers in the Pgh area has approx. 9 out of 10 enjoying the outer banks. OBX     It doesn't represent Omega Beta Chi, it represents drunk yinzers running amok in sand. Such a thing SHOULD be proclaimed!   Another frequent stickersighting is that of the little oval car stickers that have the number 26.2 in the middle. As someone who spent 4 years of high school gym class inventing and perfecting excuses to not run, It took a couple stickersightings to click the vinyl printed message with the brain reading it: Marathon runner/26.2 miles-you're cooler than me and have already run in one day more than I will run in the remaining time I have on your planet. 26.2 miles of running is a wonderful feat, one I will never be forced to achieve because I HAVE A CAR. I'm in it now reading stickers! Feeling hot, sweaty, and gross during your travels? Swampbutt slowing ya down? When it happens, runners look for hydration stations; guys like me look for drive-thrus. The 26.2 stickers are always on the back of something cool AND/OR P.C. Think Prius Hybrid or Tricked out red X-Terra...Earlier this week I saw a sticker I couldn't come to terms with emotionally or logically. and i tried, oh, how i tried!..13.1. The sticker had the number 13.1 in the center-as in a half-maration. Really? Half? We were a nation that celebrated the first African-American President in it's history by creating the Obama Chia Pet!! Proud times! Now we've decided half is enough? What's happening!? Are we trumpeting a 50% completion rate now as a nation? The stickers say so! Come to America! Celebrate the concept of Halfassery! "How many lugnuts you put back on the truck? Half? Good enough, cuz THIS IS AMERICA!" Cuz the stickers say so. *thud*boom*squish* U.S.A!
