I see that on cars all the time in town.

I thought those were the love lights.

Lightning Bug or Firefly? Here in the SE, lightning bug seems to be more popular but I understand out west Firefly is more popular though no region is 100% behind either one.

What? You expect fireflies to know proper grammar???

Hey, Bud, your Light is out!

“Knock Knock” “Who’s there?” “For” “For who” “Not who – whom. For whom…”

It’s not a break light. It’s more like the Bat Signal. If a receptive firefly of the same species of the opposite sex sees it, he or she will come toward the signal of the flasher … after flashing a return signal of its own.

I like the ones with the headlights better.

Of course! I’m just hovering, like those f u ck i ng news helicopters over my house…

Bad, a broken brake beacon, in back.

Don’t tail-gate, and you’ll be fine.
