My, sir, what a lovely vanity plate you have!

[QUOTE=Runs With Scissors]
I’m the only one who had no idea what it meant?

I sent the link to a friend, who then gave me a wiki link.

This sighting will be all over the Web by tomorrow . . .

Goatse?

[QUOTE=lizardling]
STARE I’d love to know what they told the DMV/DOT/Whatever when buying their plate. I mean, aren’t you supposed to put down an explanation of the string you want to use so they can check it? (I know people fib, but that fib I want to hear!)
[/QUOTE]

I don’t think so - the one time I (very halfheartedly) looked into getting a vanity plate when renewing my tags in Virginia, there was no place to provide an explanation.

I wonder what would happen if someone anonymously sent to PennDOT a note saying “saw this plate, it’s really obscene, here’s a link to follow to prove it, but don’t do this on your work computer without a supervisor aware of the reasons or you’ll get fired for looking at nasty porn on work time, maybe you should recall the plate!”

Apparently it’s a movement.

Here’s some more:

You parse too hard. California DMV rules don’t allow a number/letter, letter, letter/number, number, number vanity plate.
It interferes with their regular plate run and is therefore not allowed.

Oh. Okay, then. I feel much better.

I always wonder how someone in New Jersey got BALZBUB

Yea…I found the Virginia Goatse earlier today when I went about looking to see if this one had made it’s rounds earlier. Apparently that VA one was recalled bout 6 months into usage.

I was driving behind a heavyset woman in a small Toyota. I’m guessing her last name was Parker, but she hadn’t thought through her vanity plate very well.

PRKER

Yeah, Porker was my first thought. :smack:

This morning, we were behind a woman whose plate read:

It took a minute to figure out that it meant “For Jesus”. As in “four g’s us”

I was once behind a police ghost-car with the license plate “B GOOD.”

Not a vanity plate, but occasionally I see standard-issue WI plates along the lines of

403 LBS

I’d be asking for a replacement. :dubious:

In a certain Iowa county, plates with the formula ### BUX are issued. Sometimes the price seems reasonable.

Mostly people get caught by uptight do-gooders writing to the DMV and informing them of the dirty license plate. The Smoking Gun has a few collections of such letters to various DMVs.

Well, as for the one on page 8: pfft. Guy’s obviously from Rhinelander, that’s all.

That’s seriously funny, right there.

“Various” DMVs? WTF is going on in Wisconsin? :wink:

CA recently recalled a plate bearing a couple’s initials- his are RAP and hers are JAP. Yep- somebody thought that RAPNJAP was offensive to Asian hip hop artists…
[/QUOTE]

Speaking of your WTF, NC is recalling their 7-digit plates issued routinely in the Greensboro area, that start with WTF.

Oh, I once saw MERDALOR and MUFFDIVR in NC, years ago.
