Ordinarily, I roll my eyes at those “I have a spouse anna baby anna dog and and and LOOKIT MY FAMILY DAMN IT!” decals. Fair warning to friends: if you come over to show those off, be ready for my patented Southern charm-school “thaaat’s niiice” response. But I promise to squeal like an overly-excited geek if you drive over with something like this:
I don’t know this family, but I love them. I might even babysit their children, as long as there’s classic Doctor Who involved.
A year or so ago I pulled up at the lights behind an SUV with a Star Wars themed family decal – robots, wookie, Leia, Han, Luke, Obi-Wan etc wielding the requisite lightsabers and blasters. Loved it.
Ugh. I hate all decals. With a passion.
Why? Why must you*? Even with the daleks, I don’t care. Baby on board? That’s mostly a warning for other drivers that here is someone extremely short on sleep and patience at the wheel, so keep away. The decals? Sorry, I just hate ’em.
* General ‘you’, not you.
I hope they have a single-story house.

rq—and here I was just about to send you a Cuttlefish decal…
Well I like the decals. Except for the pink ribbons. When did you last see a gendered dalek?
I also have a TARDIS door on my garden shed.
@3:
Dana! Have you been watching the latest season of Doctor Who?
@3… you do know that Daleks can fly, now, right? That was established as early as Sylvester McCoy’s run… possibly earlier…
I have those decals, and I love them. My only complaint is that I had to steal a blaster from another character in order for Leia to be properly armed.
I probaly should have been more specific – I hate the family decals in whatever shape or form. I’m a huge fan of marine life, such as Darwin- and cuttlefish.
Looks like I can’t communicate when emotionally stressed. :P ;)
If you spell it “dekal”, it’s an anagram of “Dalek”!
Coincidence?
