Hmmm

[apparentparadox]

When out walking the dog this morning, I saw a car with a bumper sticker that read "Keep Oregon Weird" on a car with Kansas license plates.

Were they saying that they wanted to keep all the weird people in Oregon to keep Kansas safe from having to think outside their narrow ideas? Were they Oreganos* forced to live in Kansas for a while, and wanted to keep their hopes alive of the Oregon they loved?




* I'm on a one person crusade to have people from Oregon called "Oreganos" rather than "Oregonians". I think "Oregonian" sounds weird, and "Oregano" is a yummy herb. Besides, people pronounce the one word "Ore-E-Go-Knee-Un", but we don't pronounce the state "Ore-E-Go-n", so actually "Oregano" is closer to how one pronounces the state name.

You're definitely on to something. I tried to post a photo here yesterday and it was massive, so I deleted the post. Any idea how to post normal-sized pictures on dream width?

Possibly a tourist displaying their souvenir?

We do have tourists around here, so that might be the answer!

they also need bumper stickers saying "thou shalt not steal other cultures food and try to make a living for yourself". I hear that is a big problem there.
