Can't believe they didn't go for CAL Q LUS!
I came across this specimen yesterday evening around 8:30pm. It seemed that someone in the neighborhood was having a get-together, and judging by this attendee’s license plate I can only assume that it was a Mensa Society meeting, or a math league mixer.
If this person were a true math nerd why wouldn’t they have gone for CAL Q LUS ? Probably taken, hopefully by someone smarter. Although it very well could have been my math teacher, Mr. Krom, from high school. He LOVED his TI-83. He also enjoyed making students like me feel mathematically inferior, and I will be the first to admit that I was and still am. I don’t hold it against him though. A rare genius, but outside of the math wing the man was afraid of his own shadow.
Vanity plates are a big trend in the South. I found this out a few years ago when my cousin who lives in Virginia dated this girl who’s name was Brooke. Her parents bought her a car and got her a license plate that read “BROOKEI”. All the other pet forms of adding the “-y” sound to Brooke were taken. They also bought her cow-print seat covers and floormats.
After I saw Dazed and Confused I thought it would be pretty awesome to have a license plate that said “FAH Q”. I once spotted a huge van with a tag that said “DWETTA”. I kept an eye out for DWETTA for a while afterwards, but never saw it again.
Ultimately, I feel the same way about vanity plates as I do about tattoos: You had better come up with something really cool because everyone who sees it is going to judge one way or another.
