Middle-earth Bumper Stickers - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Lalwendë · 11-26-2008, 06:15 AM

OK, I've to go to a work event next week and before it I have to think up what I'd have on a sticker in my car so that other people can try and guess which sticker belongs to which person (yes, I know...). You know, like those "Baby on Board" or the 'humorous' (allegedly) "My other car is a porsche" stickers?

Of course, it would be a Tolkien sticker! And I thought it might be a diverting thread topic...

So, go for it. Think up some silly Middle-earth bumper stickers!

How about:

My other car is Shadowfax

Hobbit on board

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-26-2008, 07:02 AM

Aragorn and Legolas went with Éomer in the van.

Hookbill the Goomba · 11-26-2008, 07:16 AM

"Where There's a Whip, There's a Way."

...

Wait, maybe that would be the GPS system?

Shouldn't that be "My other horse is Shadowfax"?

For me there is nothing like a "Baby on Board" sticker to induce road rage. In Mithalwen's Britain anyone displaying one will be shot, or at least sterilised

But the "Babe on Board" ones amuse me so I'll order one for Asfaloth...

How about

The bigger the hat, the better the wizard (Gandalf)

What would Elrond do? (acknowledgements to B88)

If you can read this, I've lost the Dwarf! (Legolas or whoever is transporting Gimli)

"The only way you'll get this Ring is if you prise it from my cold, dead hands"

The Might · 11-26-2008, 10:15 AM

How about the classic:

"YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"

You can also, if desired, add Flame of Udun at the end to make it sound it cooler.

Or if you have something big like a Hummer or something you can just write:

"The real Grond"

EDIT: or maybe Gandalf '08! for all the US voters.

Aganzir · 11-26-2008, 10:56 AM

Slow should you be to wind that horn again, Boromir.

Lalwendë · 11-26-2008, 11:15 AM

How about:

I'd rather be riding Shadowfax.

I brake for Ents

Actually, You shall not pass! would be very, very funny, except that I tend to tootle along slowly so it would be a lie if I was driving

Actually, that makes it funnier.

I don't brake for Bagginses

Old Ents never die - they just get Huorny

How about:

Honk if you're a Hobbit!

Morthoron · 11-27-2008, 12:15 PM

For a Mustang -- The FORD of Bruinen

For a flowered VW Microbus at a Grateful Dead concert -- Keep on Tolkien

For a rusted-out 20 year-old Chevy -- All that glitters is not gold

For the bumper of a logging truck -- Oh, we've got your ent-wives!

For a patriotic environmentalist -- Boycott foreign Eol

For the bumper of any loyal Downer -- Barrow to the Marrow!

For law-enforcement boosters -- Support your local Shiriff

In support of urban mass transit -- Fight Smaug - Take the Bus

For the rugged Harley enthusiast -- Beorn To Be Wild

For a river crossing -- Bridge ahead - Pay at the Troll Booth

Lalwendë · 11-27-2008, 02:12 PM

Troll Booth. Heheeh! That's actually quite appropriate going by some toll booths I have had to go past

No Hitchhikers with golden rings!

Agh!
Sauron with the One Ring?

Kitanna · 12-03-2008, 03:07 PM

For Gandalf: I brake for Hobbits
I'm sure Gollum would have a One Ring version of the Jesus Fish.
For Hobbits: I got my kicks at the Green Dragon
For the Fellowship minus Frodo and Sam: A friend went to Mount Doom and all I got was this lousy bumper sticker

How about...

Gimli's bumper: Axes don't kill people, I kill people

Morgoth's bumper: I'd tell you to go to The Void, but I don't want to see have to you everyday

Gandalf's: You can't ride in my little red cart

or

Saruman's: Save Isengard! It's the only place you can have a blast

skip spence · 06-22-2009, 01:18 PM

This one I actually saw on the back of an Audi the other day:

Four rings to rule them all

Orofarne · 09-04-2010, 06:25 PM

During the previous administration (in the U.S.) I actually saw:

"Frodo failed; Bush has the Ring"

Giggled for hours.

For a Ringwraith:

I brake for suspicious looking hobbits.

For a certain barrow-wight:
