Don’t Be an Assquatch

I used to have a bumper sticker on my car that said Don’t Be an Assquatch – until an assquatch came along and ripped off the word ‘don’t.’ I admit, it made me grin upon initial discovery, albeit a grin laced with mild irritation. Like, don’t touch my stuff, right? But being that I don’t get in a hurry about much, I admit I did drive around town for at least a week with a bumper sticker that read Be an Assquatch.

I know how to do that. I’ve definitely done that before. I would even go as far as to say I make a good assquatch. But I’m crossing over to the yogi side, friends! Do you think there are yogi assquatches? Do you know any assquatches who claim to be all zen? Because I feel like yogis and assquatches should be rivals. Like, pick one, ya know? Team Meditation or Team Needs Medication. (That reminds me of the bumper sticker Heavily Meditated, haha…)

Yoga is a practice. And it takes a lot of practice. Practicing yogis can slip off the yoga mat and exhibit assquatch tendencies every now and then, so I guess the opposite is also true and assquatches can shine their best body part forward, striking a downward dog from time to time. I dream of a day where the world is filled with more yoga mats and less ripped bumper stickers.
