Somewhere out East, I think?

So the unofficial Austin city motto these days is "Keep Austin Weird," a phrase which is printed on t-shirts, bumper stickers, signs, store windows, and any other place it might be useful in generating a dollar.


In what I guess is supposed to be Texas A&M's response, I saw this bumper sticker a few days ago:


I think it's supposed to be sassy and funny, but instead, I think it's just a sad commentary on College Station.

*Disclaimer* In no way do I mean to denigrate Texas A&M, Aggies, etc., even though I do think College Station is probably a very boring town (although I haven't been there and I'm not even sure exactly where it is). I would even go so far as to say that some of my near acquaintances are Aggies.

I agree with you about the sentiment behind "Keep CS Normal".

Ironic, since CS is such an enclave of rabid conformity it's weird compared to other college towns. Queer, even.

I bet a whole lot of CS residents would object in the most vehement way to your use of the word queer. Are you promoting the homosexual agenda or something? :)

Darn! Next time I'll be more subtle in my attempts to Destroy the American Family.
