How do you spell SMART?
Apparently, I spell is S-M-R-T!
In my Don’t Mess With Texas post I referenced a bumper sticker we saw:
Favorite bumper sticker sighting so far? A picture of the Texas flag with the word “Succeed.” If that doesn’t capture the typical Texas mentality, I don’t know what does (and remember, I’m a native, so I can say that!)
Here’s the funny thing. It didn’t say “Succeed” as in ‘to accomplish what is attempted or intended.’ Nope, not at all.
It actually said
as in ‘withdraw from an organization or communion.’ As in, break away from the United States and become it’s own country (again).
So, I guess a more appropriate bumper sticker that I would make would say “Succeed at secede?”
No? Well, Mr. Serious thought it was hilarious that I made such a bloggo (which is his coined phrase for a typo on the blog). So, I thought I would tell you how silly I was.
Now, doesn’t this make a lot more sense knowing the Texas mentality?

Sorry, but this was too funny. But hey, we all make mistakes, right? ;oD
I want one 😉
SECEDE definitely sounds more Texan!
Hey, hey, hey! Take it easy there! Guess what?! I seriously read it as ‘sucede’ any way! Whew. There, that says something else for ya!
Haha.
Haha! I love it.
And it kinda makes me want to move to Texas. Well, that and this Wisconsin weather. 😉
haha! It happens to us all! 🙂
I haven’t seen that bumper sticker around here…and remember I’m in TX! But I’ve seen it before! It gava me a good laugh!!
Love, Mere
I didn’t know Texans could make mistakes. lol
Haha, don’t feel bad! I make bloggos like that all the time, and I teach Language Arts!
Hahaha… yes! That makes MUCH MORE SENSE NOW!!! You’re halarious!
That is hilarious!!!
Secede does totally sound like a Texan thing, and I love your hubby’s term for a blog typo! hee, hee. Mr. Really are you serious is funny!!
u make me giggle 🙂
LOL, you have a hubby who blog stalks too, huh?
When I read your first post I actually thought hmmm…is that the way you spell it? But I was WAYY to lazy to think about it twice! It so easy to switch words out! Like for instance right/write or there/their…Don’t sweat it 🙂 We all got the gist! Or is it jist? See?!?!
You are so silly!
And for the record, as a Texan myself, I think that is a stupid idea…
Ijust saw a bumper stickr today that read: “When you die, you will go to Heaven; when I die I will go to Texas.” WOWSER!
