Out on the road today, I saw a "MENGELE" license plate on a pickup truck

Computer says “no”

Which means it won’t get approved a second time (hopefully). Whoever builds the list would have needed to know who Mengele was and think ‘Hmm, some asshole will probably want this as a plate - computer needs to say “No”’. The second is pretty easy, but the first not so much.

“REE-tard” as a term for a mentally disabled person is. Re-TARD, as a term for slowing down, is not.

My mother, in her dotage, has gone back to referring to black people as “colored.”

You saw a license plate? That’s nice. I saw a guy in full Nazi regalia at Walmart yesterday.

Did the government supply him with the Nazi regalia?

I was unaware that the Nazi government was still around. I was not exaggerating or using euphemisms. It was Heath Hitler. Look him up. Last I heard he was living in Pennsylvania. I hope he was just passing through and not moving back here.

Yabbut I think the point is that a license plate presumably has the imprimatur of the State on it while a yahoo at Wal-Mart in a costume does not.

He was able to change his name legally and I’m sure they knew who Hitler was in the court where he did it.

Not everyone has a great knowledge of WWII history. If I had to guess I would say there is a 50% chance of my daughter knowing who Mengele was. She enjoys learning history. There is a 0% chance my girlfriend knows.

But mostly I just wanted to share I saw someone dressed as a Nazi yesterday.

I hope someone complimented the costume and reminded him that he’s four weeks early.

As someone who has seen him several times over the years I can confirm that every day is Halloween to him.

As far as earworms go, this one isn’t so bad. The last Ministry show i went to a couple years ago, they encored with an acoustic version.
