Taking License

The other day at Wonkette, they were making fun of the Virginia DMV website where you can make your own mock-up of vanity license plates. Like Maryland and a lot of other states, you can get tags for nearly any group or organization that you can imagine. In Virgina, you can get personalized messages on them as well. Since the online page gives you a preview of your choice, the lure of mischief is enormous.

One of the most popular types of tags are the college affinity tags, so I decided to play with those. Since Wonkette is a political humor site, most of theirs were ridiculing politicians. In keeping with the Wonkette theme, this one fits their snark level:



These plates work best as a pair:




But they don't have to be political to be funny. Here I went for the obvious pun:



Sometimes the DMV will not let you use certain offensive words on a tag. This blog learned that the word "JEW" can't be used in any combination. The forbidden words are a little perplexing. They wouldn't let me use "Nuke" so I had to settle for this:



I found it ironic they didn't like "NUKE" but this tag was just fine:



It doesn't even need to be a Virginia college to have a tag. I thought it would be funny to put on a phrase that no hardcore fan of the school would ever really have, like these:




"G8RH8R" is actually already taken, but I doubt it is on a Florida plate.

And when I saw that this college was a selection, I had to throw all political correctness aside to see if this phrase was available:



It is. And I hope it stays that way.

Finally, I was upset to find this one was taken:



Guess I can't move to Virginia anytime soon.
