This sure beats hate mail.

Message: Hey guys-

I just wanted to take a quick minute to thank you for the Moldy Chum decal. I'm now the envy of all my friends that fish.

The funny part is seeing people's reactions when they pull up behind me at a light. For those in the know I gotten the thumbs up and a wave. However people that aren't familiar with the site are certainly perplexed and it has made the daily commute much more interesting. There are quite a few strange looks. One older couple was participially amusing.

Now I'm guessing at the conversation, but I have to be close based on their facial features and the vigorous discussion that appeared to be going on.

Older gentleman, "What does the sticker on that Subaru say?" (While squinting very hard to see it) Older lady, "Coldy Drum?"
OG, "That makes no sense."
OL, "Moldy Chum?"
OG, "That makes even less sense."

Both are now leaning forward and squinting really hard to read the decal.

OG, "It does say Moldy Chum."
OL, "Why would you put a decal on the car about dead fish?"
OG, "Maybe he owns in a fish market?"
OL, "Are you going to advertise bad fish if you own a fish market?"
OG, "I don't get it."

As the light turns green I quickly changed lanes and slowed a bit just so I could see them drive by. Both looked at me like my hair was on fire. It made for a great start to the day.

Thanks again-
