Things you can tell immediately if someone has a NO FEAR sticker on their car still

Well? It does happen once in a while. Usually it is accompanied by a "Calvin peeing" sticker. What can we safely assume about such a person?

― Mandee, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Come on people, don't you like to live on the edge?

― Mandee, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Same thing to assume when you see a "Gas Grass Or Ass - Noone Rides For Free" sticker.......2 hours into the date, homeboy will be breaking out the no-so-fresh rhymes......"girl I demand you suck me in my truck / I'll snap your fucking neck if you say you ain't down to fuck....".......the kind of guy that will live in a new apartment for over half a year and still have only a TV, couch, and bed as furniture...bare walls....unless he's from Laos.....then they got tons of beads and crap on the walls and bad incense........they conversate about shit like Mike Tyson vs. Ken SHamrock - who would win? (i witnessed once such chat escalate to redfaced chaos).......i know guys like this, stay away.

― Ramosi, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, in that case (living on the edge) we're talking that extreme sports shit......well there's the good natured cheery bearded kind that just loves the outdoors.....then you got the younger snowboarder types that just have fun and hit jumps to WU-Tang....bohemian painter snowboarders are the worst though because it's a very 'bro-down' sport and everyone praises each other regardless of everything......much utopian precious nonsense.......*then* you got those corny pinched-face, overtanned, plus-one "PUSH THE ENVELOPE" Max Powersauce niggas.....dude i'm SOOO STOKED, 100%!!!....unbearable to hang with......they gleek-spit all over the place, got tore up kneecaps.....don't bring this zen psycho shit in my area you Oakley rockers.....you try to eat dinner with them and they get all restless....."dude, i need a new rush, fuck, new challenges, push the envelope......let me drink this whole canister of soy sauce and slap some olive oil on the waiting bench....grind that shit!!!"

― Ramosi, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

What is this thread about?

― the pinefox, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Mon ami pinefoXXX, No Fear stickers are a vapor trail from the whole "No Fear" clothing phenomenon that swept testosterone/Camaro/frat-boy culture in the mid to late 90's in the USA......you would probably notice parallels to UK "laddism", except the USA version is a little more, how do you say, GRUNTY......very little interest in music, a very "go big or go home!" mentality.....given how much of a brash gorilla *I* am, my looking down on these guys speaks volumes....."calvin peeing" is a picture of Calvin from the family comic strip Calvin and Hobbes, peeing.....there's also this other sticker, "Bad Boy", in jagged letters with this spiky muscle guy up top......the extreme sports thing is a strange beast and kind of dovetailed into the whole US aggro fitness-nut male phenomenon....

Forget it, I'm joining them.....everyone from now on call me Ramses X, wakeboard king

― Ramosi, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I heart Ramosi.

― Sean, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

They'll have a rich, well groomed, younger girlfriend with no sense of humour. For no obvious reason, she'll think they're God and put up with being treated like dirt, especially being openly mocked in front of his friends and being openly cheated on in front of everyone.

― isadora, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I thought these people only existed around here. *groan*

You can safely assume they will talk about snowboarding and how drunk they got last weekend.

― Dan Irons, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Awwww yeah Sean bro, I heart U back!! Psyched!

― Ramosi, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

If they have a dog, it will wear a bandana.

― Kim, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Isnt No Fear a bornagin label? Lots of "on to it" mottos anyways.

spot the dunedin poster! haha, isadora, y should know better than to think you can be ANONYMOUS in this town.

― di, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm not trying to be anonymous in this town. I'm trying to be anonymous to the people from big exciting cities so I can go there and start a glamorous new life.

― isadora, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

the glamour starts now bay-bee!

― ducklingmonster, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I can safely assume that they wil not like me. good. I dont like you either sticker boy.

― ducklingmonster, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh my god, I am in love with you all. I never would have phantomed that this thread would have turned out so beautiful.

― mandee, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ramosi, as Sean notes, speaks the wisdom. Orange County is crawling with people like that.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Everyone in my high school resembled the people in that photo.

― geeta, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Texas is overrun with idiots of that ilk, sans the snowboarding for the most part. Very unnerving. Let's not for get the other sticker that goes equally well with the No Fear is the "Ultra Hot", DUDE! I made stickers in the early 90's in answer to these abominations that had a generic white male giving the thumbs up (from some spanish language cards I found) that said "Ultra Luke Warm", got plenty of laughs with that one and satisfactorily stated my love of the middle path.

― Deadman, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

My high school: jocks = white baseball hats, chewing tobacco, jeeps with bass.

― bnw, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Normally fat shirts and shoes tossers trying to be a bit 'alternative', lager-swilling may one a year spend a week in Sauze D'Oulx swilling beer and sliding on their arses down a mountain. Getting drunk and beating the crap out of each other. 'Xtreme' sports are the biggest media plot ever. Well maybe not the biggest but outdoor pursuits repackaged for the fat and unfit frat-boy/failed dot-com billionaire types.

― Ed, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I bet he, of the No Fear sticker, would find that Blink 182 video (where they'er all dressed up 70's style) HILARIOUS. I also dislike those One Tequila, Two Tequila, Three Tequila, FLOOR! posters those boys tend to put in their rooms. Ever encounter a Calvin peeing sticker with a Jesus fish?

― Evangeline, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

hey! That Blink182 video *is* hilarious!

― chris, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

It's a video only a sex tourist could love.

― Nicole, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

possibly true.

I do love Blink though, inexplicably.

― chris, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The only moment in a Blink 182 video I like is when the man in a banana suit looks so wistfully at them. But the 70s one, noooo! Evidently, in that video their van carries the sticker of 'Gas, Grass or Ass - Nobody Rides for Free' that Ramosi mentioned above.

― Evangeline, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

NO FEAR and Calvin peeing decals are pretty standard in my neighbourhood. Lots of tricked out honda civics going around the block all night with the ghostly neon-looking purple underlighting, those linear blinking red lights encircling the license plate, and bent-over azz-up stripper woman decals in white on tinted glass. I saw one the other day with "SLOB ON MY KNOB" in huge letters across the back glass. Might as say "DATE RAPES R US". I also like how some of the Vietnamese gangsta types have tons of cute lil Sanrio-type stuffed animals across the dash.

― fritz, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Can we swap mevs with you? Yours are in a whole different league.

I've been here just over half a year. I actually don't have any of these yet.

Me neither.

― lawrence kansas, Saturday, 16 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Poss one might find that the driver had bought the car used w/"no fear" stix0rz already applied. I had a ford fiesta for a few years that had a "Wakefield Hospice" sticker, though that is not the same I know. my idea of a k-k3wl car sticker, BTW.

― Norman Phay, Saturday, 16 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Kids in Santa Barbara had No Fear stickers on their cars. What made it worse was the Pennywise stickers next to them.

I'm much more a fan of the Calvin praying stickers. Far more ironic, esp. considering the existential tendencies of the comic.

― JM, Saturday, 16 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

nine months pass...
you guys are f***in wierd... all "prejudice" and flashin nerd stickers. whats wrong with fealing the power of a 460 lifted ford at the end of your foot? or fealing the pound of dual 12" subs hit your chest playing rap or rock? are you people taht bored that you dnt like to accentuate your cars, after all not that many ppl see your house, but everyone sees your ride... and who the hell cares if someone lives in an apartment and only has a tv a couch and a bed... thats all some people need, or care for... i dare you to tell someone with a bad ass boys drive bad ass toys sticker that he is wasting his time... he'll knock the s**t outta ya, i know i would.

My high school/collage sweetheart of 4 years had the madflap girl on her most favourite track jacket. She wore it all the time. It seemed strange to me, at the time, that she would wear such a thing.

What's No Fear supposed to signify? I've only seen it a couple of times here, so I'm not sure about its connotations.

OMG

I had a No Fear sweatshirt bought for me a year or so ago. It's one of my favourite shirts because of it's perfect fit. I never knew it was such a famous/hated brand !

― Ste, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 08:20 (eighteen years ago)

I'd like to start generalising about the kind of person I suspect this is (buys Max Power magazine just for the stickers, sits with legs so wide nobody else can get on the same bench), but I haven't seen the shirt on anyone I know since primary school days, when it was wildly popular with the kids along with "Fat Willy's Surf Shack". I guess this was when the package holiday was only just getting cheap enough for people to go to Europe, so instead they went to Cornwall every year and begged their parents that if they weren't allowed to going surfing they should at least be allowed to go round a surf shop and buy the t-shirt.

Is that ready for ironic resuscitation? Oh, it has a .co.uk online store, so I guess it's still doing ok.

― a passing spacecadet, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 09:44 (eighteen years ago)

No Fear pinball is indeed totally amazing (and designed, fact fans, by the same man who designed Theatre of Magic); there was a No Fear game inside the Empty Bottle in Chicago, I assume it's long gone by now

― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 10:23 (eighteen years ago)

maybe they bought a second hand car and don't have the time or energy to give a shit about what stickers it has on it

― gem, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 14:47 (eighteen years ago)

Perhaps they fear change.

― The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 15:26 (eighteen years ago)

Perhaps they have NO FEAR of social admonishment.

― n/a, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 15:27 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, Tracer, the only pinball machine at the Empty Bottle is Playboy pinball.

I had a No Fear sweatshirt bought for me a year or so ago. It's one of my favourite shirts because of it's perfect fit. I never knew it was such a famous/hated brand!

Thing is, part of what I dislike about t-shirt slogans like this (and ones like If You Can't Run With the Big Dogs, Stay On the Porch) is that they broadcast this whole "I'm a tough guy, don't fuck with me" attitude that doesn't really accord with my personality. Even if I didn't know what its reputation was, I can't imagine wearing a NO FEAR shirt because, uh, I don't really live my life that way, and even if I did, I wouldn't feel the need to share my awesome confidence with the world.

― jaymc, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 15:33 (eighteen years ago)

I'm not going to make character assumptions but the only guy I know of in my neighborhood anymore with a NO FEAR sticker has it on THE ugliest Mustang I've ever seen, it is like puke gold-brown. Also he keeps a dog chained up in his yard at all times.

I had a No Fear sticker on my binder in 7th Grade; I was too young to recognize its adoption by the older douches. But then I'm from down bordertown, most of the local douches wore Tommy Hilfiger.

― kingfish, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 15:58 (eighteen years ago)

the thing about NO FEAR is that its very existence is so massively ironic - i remember being a teenager and liking the whole NO FEAR idea but at the same time JUST DO IT came out and that clearly stood out as a better slogan/idea to love and hate at the same time, as a teenager does.

what i really mean is if you truly have no fear you have no need to tell the world that - like zen masters or freakin yoda, no one should be able to tell and then WHAM, all the insecure NO FEAR wearers are brought down by no-label true zen ninja skills

I think those Big Dog shirts are the worst, mainly due to a boss obsessed with the line who called himself BIG DOG. The shirts stretch really hard for new material, tho, as exemplified by these anachronistic plushies:
