See on the Roads Around Your Nation's Capital

What do you think this one says?
And where is Thom when I need him?

Pretty self-explanatory

This one is funny.  The woman walked up as I took it.
She said her husband (military) is from Michigan, and
she refused to put Michigan plates on her car
unless he let her have something with Texas!

And this is on the front of her car.
Apparently Michigan does not require a front plate!

Seen at the airport this afternoon.

And this is the entire back end of the car!

Signs, Signs, Everywhere Signs

Vanity Plates are EVERYWHERE in the Washington, D.C. area.  Does that say something about the Nation's Capital and its residents? Hmmm..

Here are some to enjoy.  Some are obvious, and others a bit obscure.

This was on a black sports car -- fits, doesn't it?

These people are either equal opportunity pet owners

or fans of classic literature done by cats

That song started running through my head ...

This one is fun when you look at the whole photo.

And yes, those are snow flakes in the air.

My favorite.

Romans 8:31b

If God is for us, who can be against us?

And finally, these are some that I saw, but it was before the iPhone,

so no photos:

Because Thom is BACK

I've been not doing license plates because Thom was away...but since he's such a good sport and always leaves a guess, these are for him, and for anyone else who appreciates a little vanity in life.

IC RINGS

(guess what kind of car this person was driving)

He was driving a Saturn

S T8BLDR

(saw this one yesterday - cracked me up)

(tomorrow I'll tell you why!)

I think Thom is right on this, although we
first read it as Estate Bleeder and
thought they were avaricious

BLESS U

(do you think they got it for the cold & flu season?)

speaks for itself

SIT TYT

(a message to tailgaters?)

Sit tight -- as in stay put?

HANG UP

(my favorite!)

And oh, if people only would just
hang up and drive!

License Plate Game Again

It's been a while since I've posted these. But I finally brought the scrap of paper on which I scribble them in from my car, so try them out!  In the comments, you can tell me what you think they are:

RXFREE

PHRYSTL

BMOVED

(On a Pink Ribbon License Plate!)

Sunday Plates

Haven't done this for a while. Decipher these in the comments if you'd like...and if you can decipher them, let's all make guesses as to why that person picked that license plate. These are all Virginia Plates.

and this one is just funny. On a Honda Odyssey Van: ILLIAD

E-mail the answers to the three.

Is It A Code?

It's been a while since I've posted license plates, and since Thom and Quilly are finished with the 12+ days of Christmas, I figured our brains need to keep working...so here they are!

Go ahead and post the answers in the comments. I'll post mine on Friday:

Can You Figure These Out?

It's nice to have something lighthearted to read today.

Our bases in the US are supposed to be places

of refuge in between deployments,

places to restore, retrain, reunite, relax.

Our prayers are with the Ft. Hood families.

Some of these are very clever.

And I think one is absolutely brilliant!

Guess which one that is...

MUTT DOC A veterinarian

SUBIROO Subaru

FEARLES (this on a mini-cooper) Fearless

IRSH AYS (For you, Susan!) Irish Eyes

ROVNRN (A visiting nurse?)

MNYHAHA (From the shores of Minnetonka...)

WTITIS What it is...

ENDWERC End Work

KDBOX (a Honda Element) Kid Box

4R3 XYZ For Our Three Boys (get it? Boys are xy)

ITLG8 I tailgate (!)

MEOWX2 Someone loves cats

FB4 EVR (Virginia Tech Plate) Football For Ever (either that or facebook)

E-mail me the answers! I'll post what I think on Monday so when

I can't figure out Quilly's pun I'll still feel pretty smart. Grin.

My favorite is the 4R3 XYZ -- it is just so clever!

More Creativity In Licensing

First, I'd like to say it is WAY TOO QUIET with Thom on

vacation. But fortunately, he checked in today and scored 100%!

Quilly scored high too - but just like she's the Ace at puns,

Thom is the license plate King.

5 Miles, 10 Minutes

I saw all of these within 5 miles of my house this morning and within the first 10 minutes of driving. Of course later I almost had an accident because I was trying to read plates instead of paying attention to the turn! And then a car passed me with a vanity plate that read NYPDFD and I realized it was a not-so-undercover cop! He had seen the whole thing. How embarrassing. But my faux pas is your opportunity to decipher. Have at 'em!
