So let’s pretend you’re going to get yourself a vanity plate. Of course the only reason you want to do so is to announce to the initiated that you’re a member of this here elite assemblage of minds. And you’re obviously not going to let down the side with anything so trite as “SDMB” or “SDMBER” or “CECIL.” So what’s it going to be? Mine is “-GRY”. ---

I think “doper” on a license plate might attract some unwanted attention. Probably best to go with something more like “20 MINS” ---

I have a specialty plate (NC Firfighter/Rescue Squad), and it allows only 4 letters. I have VBOB. I’ve only been asked once about it by a non-Doper, who thought the V was for ‘Volunteer’. ---

My plate actually used to be “EJSGIRL” but I stopped using it when I started using that as my user name all over the Internet. It’s probably still in a box somewhere… It was a nickname that a friend gave me when I started dating EJ. It stuck (and so did he). ---
