AWPC: Trend Setting Revisited

A while back I requested some stickers for my toolbox to help it stand out from the two just like it ordered by people not nearly as original as myself. While people have given me some wonderful stickers and I still have a lot of space for any and all stickers sent my way, a special thanks goes out to my co-worker Erin. While out and about he spotted an ABBA sticker and remembered me saying I wanted one to go next to the Waterloo logo on my box. And it is in a hideously gaudy rosy color. It is awesome!

I applied the sticker to my box and tried to share my enthusiasm with a young co-worker who is about the same age as the guy who gave me the sticker.
Me: Check out the sticker Erin gave me.

Her: Our Erin?

Me: Yeah.

Her: I don't get it.

Me: ABBA?

Her: (shrugs)

Me: Swedish disco band?

Her: (stares blankly)

Me: They had a song called Waterloo.

Her: (shrugs)

Me: You see Waterloo is the name brand of the box but I put the ABBA sticker next to it... Never mind. I think it's hilarious.
Damn kids.

The best non-ABBA sticker (with many agreeing with me and commenting on its workplace relevance) is the one my wife gave me. It doesn't look like the one pictured here, but it says the same thing.
