Much better, thank you, RD.

I was getting nervous that folks were thinking “Ukulele Ike started a lame-ass thread on license plates? Man, is HE slipping.”

Now everyone can go back to “Damn his eyes! He’s disrespected the New York Yankee baseball franchise yet again!”

Huh… well I saw the last line of the OP and thought “ok, Uke is making a cheesy joke to be silly in his new license plate thread”… I didn’t realize that the whole purpose of the thread was as a vehicle for said cheesy joke…

Opal:

You say “cheesy” like it’s a BAD thing…

I was more incensed at the insult tendered towards the New York Jets. Uke! You hoser! Am I the only one to defend them, and I’m not even from New York? You NYers make me sick. Stand up for your team, goddammit!

Now that the Jets have been sold to a heir of “Johnson and Johnson”, will people start calling the defense line “the powder puffs?”

Oh, come on, guys—poor Ike is getting used to his new shaving brush, defending jazz in the BBQ Pit and I’m making fun of his silly little earring elsewhere . . . Leave him his lisence plate thread, OK?

Otherwise I will have to tell your mothers you are tormenting my little boy in the schoolyard . . .
