Burton Speaks

Irony: i·ro·ny n The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning.

I'm Burton from Portland, Oregon, United States. I'm 33 and live in the Portland Metro Area. I work hard. I drive fast. I play often. I'm sarcastic, appreciate irony, and find humor in even the darkest of events. I'm non-traditional. I question authority. I'm a know-it-all and a planner. And most days, I wake up thinking the world is full of fundamentally good people... and have a lot of problems when I'm proven wrong. Any other questions?

Reinforcing the stereotype

Tuesday, February 07, 2006

Today as I drove home from work I got stuck behind a car. Now this isn't an unusual event, but let's examine it closer.

Fact 1: The car was an mid-90's Subaru Legacy Wagon
Fact 2: Bumper sticker number one said "Nadar 2000"
Fact 3: Bumper sticker number two said "Cats nap. It's humans who put them to sleep. Sterilize, don't euthanize!"
Fact 4: The car was going 35 mph in a 40 mph zone

My guess? This person isn't, politically speaking, as "middle-of-the-road" as I am.

Subaru. The official car of the Portland left.
