On the way to Seattle last Friday I spotted a bumper sticker on the back of a car reading “WWTD?”. Since then, I’ve been wracking my brain trying to figure out who “T” is, and why we should pause to think about what he or she would do in our place. Unable to come up with a reasonable solution, I turned to the internet to decipher the sticker because it’s kind of driving me crazy.

Unfortunately, the internet isn’t coming forth with any one clear answer. Among the possible solutions:

• What Would Tom Do? – this was Ed’s suggestion, but mostly because he just loves Tom of MySpace
• What Would Tyra Do? – she came up in Google more than once. I know she has a talk show and it’s somewhat popular, but it just doesn’t seem to fit the puzzle. The car was an older model of Toyota or something, and driven by a guy. It was nondescript in every way, except for the bumper sticker – nothing about the situation gave any indication that Tyra (or any talk show really) played any sort of part in the daily routine of the car owner.
• What Would Tyler Durden Do? – nice try, but there was definitely only one D
• What Would Tebow Do? – Apparently this guy plays football. Does that warrant a bumper sticker? Beats me; I don’t question the idiotic things sports fans do.
• What Would Taft Do? – It’s important to know what think about what the president in 1909 would have thought about your life.
• What Would Tyrone Do? – I don’t know who Tyrone is, but I can’t imagine the need to give it any thought in relation to my own plans
• What would Thor Do? – Okay, I can get behind this one. Especially if every answer is “hit it with a giant hammer”.

None of these seem commercial enough to have a line of bumper stickers, though. It is really bugging me that I can’t figure this out. I almost rolled down my window to ask the driver of the car, but we split off into two lanes at that point and I lost track of him.

Is there something I’m missing here? I’m usually up to date on my pop culture knowledge, but I absolutely can’t figure this one out. Any hints?

Here are some of my own theories:

• What Would (a) Tyrannosaurus (Rex) Do?
• What Would Trevor Do?
• Which Way To Denmark? – while “WWxD” is generally accept as a play on What Would Jesus Do, there’s really nothing that says the letters can’t mean something else
• Wangs Wangs Tasty Dongs – ..

Yeah. Help!
