"In Loving Memory"
- Thread starter ruxCYtable
- Start date
You nailed it. Or, "Hey, I'm totally going to follow this minivan home and see where they live, then catch little Delilahbelle on her way to school. She's just the right age."
I'm putting in my will that when I die if anyone puts a tacky "In loving memory of (my name)" on their car - I want them immediately out of my will.
I agree with the OP, it is tacky as ****. Stick figure family stickers are also dumb. I always wondered what happens when one of the people in a stick figure family car dies. Do they put a "X" sticker through them? Do they just remove them like they never existed in the stick family? Or do they put a tacky "In loving memory of..." on it?
The Calvin peeing stickers are so unoriginal and tacky as well, but I think it would be funny if someone went around putting the Calvin sticker peeing on all the stick figure families...

I always thought those stickers were strange but everyone grieves and everyone copes differently. If it makes them feel better, good for them.
I don't like these because it is like peeing on the Calvin's spirit and the true meaning of Calvin and Hobbs.
I blame celebrities. Now everyone wants to name their kids something different and unique. Apple... who names their ******* child Apple? It isn't the name that is going to make your child stand out and be unique...
Look man, if they're truly grieving and putting a sticker on their car makes them feel better I really have no issue with it. I'm just having some fun with this topic.
But it is my contention that the vast majority of these people are just wanting to draw attention to themselves.
Some people might say that it's a bit over the top to think this way but when you watch the news, check the news online, etc... you see crazy stuff all the time. Hell... kids aren't even safe at school anymore with all of these sexual predator teachers out there. It happens so often anymore that it isn't even shocking and that is a problem. If your kids aren't safe at school they are even less safe out in public.
Just read something about boys' names ending in "n" phase ending. In 20 years those names will sound like Veronica, Tiffany, and Lynne.
I like the classics that never sound trendy; Matthew, William, Stephen, Catherine, Elizabeth, Lexxiz, etc.
Its like everything else, someone figured out a way to make money off someone else's pain/grief.
The irony is that in their rush to give kids unique names, parents were all doing the same thing. A friend was telling me recently about how there are four kids in his daughter's class named Aiden. Four! Naming your kid Michael or John is more unique anymore.
Off topic observation:
I love jumping into a new thread, noting the title and presumed subject, but go straight to the last post and see the crazy turn the thread has clearly taken.
"In loving memory" -> crazy kids names.
Welcome to off-topic in the off-season.
LOL
Yep. I was going to post something simple and obvious like "whatever it takes for a family to cope"
Somehow I don't think that's relevant any longer. :spinny:
Think about how many abducted children there have been right here in Iowa the last few years. :no: The statistics currently are that 1 in 3 girls will be assaulted at some point, and 1 in 8 boys. I'm not sure if that's just while a child, or the entire life - but that's insane.
I was driving behind an SUV with stick figure Mom, kids, and a pet. But, you could see an outline in the grime/sticker glue that Dad used to be there. Oops.
