Craziest thing that I saw this week?
So here I was, merging from 95 onto 17 towards Wilmington. As I merge, a nice black Volkswagen passes me. It was pretty new-looking and had some aftermarket mods, but I was unsure the model. I set the cruise control for 80 and just try to relax a bit and forget about the horrible rain I had just driven through and the fact that I had drank too much Monster and needed a Men's Room but still had an hour's worth of driving to do. I started edging closer to the Volkswagen and begin to pass and notice a ton of stickers all over the rear driver-side window. I assumed they were band stickers and looked intently at them. What were they?
Massive totenkopfs. Death's head stickers. Big ol' SS lightning bolts. Crossed hammers and huge "88" decals. Eagles. Iron crosses. I was in utter disbelief. I mean, I know these type of assholes exist, but to be that brazen? It isn't like you encounter these jerks everyday. The car moved to pass me a few moments later and I got a look at the rear passenger-side window only to see the same sort of regalia. Suddenly the car being a "Volkswagen" made more sense to me, that's for sure.
So later I am standing there in the back of the Throne Theater (formerly Ziggy's by the Sea), a very nice venue for small gigs, having a beer. I am looking at various people, waiting for Grave Digger to take the stage, and it hits me that the Nazi from the road might be there too. After all, they aren't antisemites but both bands are German. I started sizing people up, looking at hairstyles and logos on shirts. If whoever it was had been wearing a red swastika arm band or "Trump 2016" shirt, it would have been readily obvious who it was, but I guess they have a little bit more discretion when outside their car.
Anyway, that's my story. Just blew my mind though, passing that car and thinking 'Skulls on the window? They look kinda cool, wonder what band logo it is. Okay, getting closer, let me see. Oh wait, no: they're Death's Heads. Nope, he's a fucking Nazi.'
Some people, huh?
