First off: The lament of a frustrated writer on the [livejournal.com profile] toronto_gamers community, about how they cannot get "real writting" (sic) done because they spend so much time preparing for game. I'm not gonna make any judgements, really, but it has a certain sublime amusement factor in it.

Secondly: Bumper Stumpers! Two red hot license plates spotted on local streets recently. The first was obviously a few years old, as it had the Federation symbol, which hasn't been available as a personalized license plate optionf or a while.

So I've heard.

In any case, the license plate, with the Federation symbol, read "CAT FRK". As I passed it, I called my wife to tell her about that. "It's you from an alternate timeline!"

Man, thank God the couch is so darn comfortable.

A few days later, I was on my way from my comic shop to a dental appointment when I looked up and noticed something. The purple CR-V in front of my had a vanity plate that read "TIME TRPR". Naturally, I began honking and throwing him the thumbs up. They waved back, sheepishly, but as I see it, if you have a super-geeky license plate, you better expect random people showing appreciation.

Saw a crazy-dressed Passion coupe today wearing "IAMSMART". Really, the panels had to be a one-off job. Funky purple base with green, yellow out of focus circles...

*resists urge to go correct said "writter's" typos*

My username derives from a license plate. I went by "Crash" for quite some time, and one day my then future wife and I saw "UNIQUE1". I thought that was pretty sad; obviously the only reason to get "UNIQUE1" was if "UNIQUE" was taken! We joked about getting "UNIQUE5" and following this guy around...

My absolute favourite of all time: NDCFRBL

Took me quite some time to figure it out...

We couldn't get it either, and were wondering if it was some kind of in-joke when I muttered "That's totally indecipherable..."

A purple Time Trapper van? That is awesome :) You should have yelled at him "Look out, Zero-Hour ahead! You're about to be retconned!" :)
