16 pieces is the minimum, You're little friend Brian over there has 37. If you want me to wear 37, why don't you make that the new minimum?

One of the two rules from the now defunct Beaterz.com, a treasure from the early 2000's website era.

Rule #2: Stickers = Performance

I have so many questions... among them is how or more why do you have that image right at hand, let alone know that it exists?

Oh, that's easy. I texted it to my long-suffering wife a few weeks ago and scrolled back through our chat to retrieve it.

It literally took me 3 minutes to get the clown photo with the french fries down his shorts. I forgot my avitar. I apologize to the new guy original poster who came here to ask an honest question.

Maybe I can answer that. Stickers are used to show loyalty, or cover scratches. Maybe the Vespas you saw with stickers are Amsoil users. Or Royal Purple. ROFL emoticon
