Well both the “BLUE ME” phrasing and the “A NU START” license plate are running gags from the least self-aware analyst/therapist in town.

I don’t get how 808B8D “looks similar to a text penis.” What am I missing?
(The “B8D” part does sound like a masturbation reference from Idiocracy, though.)

I live in the Maryland suburbs of Washington DC and have been told about the E=MC2 plate, but I’ve never seen it.

One time I saw this (on an Acura NSX) and figured the guy was doing everyone a favor (i.e. avoid him like a sack of warm fecula)

Some of the DMV’s interpretations are reaching.
A bunch of the no verdicts are just prudish.
A few are actually mildly offensive.
I doubt I would have been granted mine if anyone at the Texas DMV knew what it meant. Probably had a better chance of getting recognized and flagged for a no in California.

How much sadder it would be if after years of having that plate no one ever did.

I’ve seen it in person. I’m a motorcycle commuter so I slip through a lot of stopped traffic, and see a lot of plates.

GETNBSY was okay but TUNAFSH was not?
Arbitrary bureaucrats are arbitrary.

I feel like Asswipe (um, it’s “Oz-Wee-Pay”) Johnson works for the Cali DMV.

Perhaps I’m uncommonly thick today, but I can’t parse the first two. Huh?

The first few were amusing, but then I got to “Customer’s name is Brant” and lost it.
Definitely get the sense that some of the applicants are being rewarded/punished for the quality of their explanation, depending on what mood the reviewers are in. I can just picture the look of long-suffering exhaustion on the face of whoever’s desk that “Saint Anne” one landed on.

Why have I got this song in my head?
I want that S8TAN plate. bad.
Every so often I keep checking for a vanity plate for my old 70s BMW R90/6, for any number of combinations of something Motorhead related, because I’m going to do a custom restore in honor. The bike was made the same month Motorhead was founded, but Ill never get the coveted LEMMY plate
