Things that make you go Hmmmm, and do a double-take.
« on: March 14, 2014, 03:34:58 PM »
Driving around yesterday running some errands and there's a Kia Soul in front of me with a University of Loyola, Chicago sticker on the left side of the rear window and a Browning Buckmark on the right side.  Driven by a mid-20ish-to mid-30ish woman.   ??? ???

There was something else I saw like that, but disremember at the moment.  If I think of it, I'll post it.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

She may have purchased the vehicle used, and either one or both of the stickers are from previous owners.  Or maybe she's a gun-owning, Loyola grad/student/parent of student.  It can happen . . .

Is University of Loyola (and its students/faculty) seen as being particularly leftist?

That's like asking if hell is seen as being particularly unpleasant. With any university out of Chi-town, that's pretty much the default assumption. :rofl:

Roman Catholic Jesuit school.

In Chicago (actually the western suburb of Maywood).

Draw your own conclusions.    ;)

Last WTF double take I did while driving arond was one morning about 3:00AM out in the middle of nowhere I drove up on 2 guys* wearing ghillie suits with the hoods up walking down the side of the highway.

* just a guess, they were wearing ghillie suits with the hood up so actual gender would be hard to tell.

Maybe they read this a few years ago and thought they would have better luck!  http://www.dailyinterlake.com/news/local_montana/article_86a9d38e-f058-11e1-b794-001a4bcf887a.html
