LANDSCPE

Today's plate is: LNDSCPE

Who you gonna call? LANDSCAPERS!

I almost thought about following this dude to get him to come to my house and do some labor, but then realized that's what I have a husband for. (and family)

I also have to point out my great appreciation for this person for adding the 'E' on the end, because we all know that the magic e at the end makes the vowel (which is missing) that precedes it say its own name. This made it much easier to decode this plate.

I had a thought the other day that maybe license plates should be like college ID's. You know, like econant or econan(insert number here). That would take the unnecessary vanity out of a plate and in its place put an understandable amount of vanity. Also, it would create a sense of community on the streets. Think of how great it would be to know the person's name that is driving in front and behind you. Then when they do something stupid you can accurately curse them out. Also, business vehicles could include their business name or type of service provided like this fine plate featured today.

P8TRSFN

In honor of training camp beginning, I have a plate for all those Patriot's Fans!

Today's plate is: P8RTSFN

Jesse and I found this plate at Gillette stadium last week when we went for the first day of training camp. Let me tell you, the parking lot was a mine field of amazing plates! Apparently many people from New Hampshire got the day off of work (cough, cough, SICK CALL!!!) to come down and see the good ol' Patriots work out. Unfortunately it was raining, so I did not get many pictures.

One suggestion for the fan: I was able to decipher this plate - but then spent about two minutes trying to figure out how it worked. The T should come before the R in order to make the PA-TREE-OTS (see how the T comes first?).

Let's cross our fingers and hope for an amazing season - at least a better record than the Colts, Jets, Dolphins, and the Cowboys.

TRKSTR

Today's plate is: TRKSTR

This could go one of two ways. I could comment on Trickster or Track Star. Or both!

If I see a plate in front of me that says TRKSTR, and I assume that they are a trickster, I will start evaluating their choices in a different way. For instance, when my brother knows I'm following him in an unfamiliar place he puts on his left blinker when turning right, and vice versa. My husband does the same thing. I have learned that no matter what, plan to go the opposite direction. Thus, when this trickster puts on their right blinker, I will go ahead and giggle because they are obviously turning left. Then I will attempt to pass them on the right. A motorcycle once did this to me, however I am not a trickster and was actually planning to take said right turn. He crashed into my car. Unlucky day for him...you know what happens when motorcyclists assume...

If I see a plate in front of me that says TRKSTR, and I assume that they are a Track Star, I am going to think twice about trying to get away with a hit and run. The driver very well may be able to catch up with me because he is quite the runner. I also may refrain from giving them the finger and then turning into the parking lot of my neighborhood grocery store. He may also park his car and run me down...literally.

LNG2FLY

Today's plate is: LNG2FLY

I guess if you really wanted to fly you should buy a plane. Unfortunately in the year 2010 we do not have hovercrafts or jetpacked skateboards. I know, I'm sorry, it sucks.

The only time I realistically long to fly is in my dreams. I am not scared of planes, but the hoopla that goes along with preparing for a flight ruins the experience. I do not enjoy putting my toiletries in 3 oz. containers. I do not enjoy planning my outfit in order to avoid the beep beeps during security. I do not enjoy having to keep track of my ID and my ticket at the same time for whenever each individual airport decides they need to look at it. I do not enjoy taking my shoes off and walking on the floor. I do not enjoy when the beep beeps go off and I have to spread 'em in public. I especially do not enjoy paying $13 for a small bag of Jelly Belly jelly beans. I do not enjoy dumping my beverage at security only to purchase one for three times the cost less than 100 feet away. I do not enjoy sitting next to strangers during my travel. I do not enjoy idle chit chat, especially when completing with the sound of a large engine. I do not enjoy 6 oz of a beverage, I want the WHOLE THING. Also, pretzels are not my favorite. I want potato chips or cookies. And refills on all would be appreciated. I really do not enjoy waiting for my luggage during those occasions that I cant squeeze everything into one bag.

The only plus side to flying is arriving to a new, warmer, tropical location.

GECKO

Today's plate is: GECKO

Of course the first thought that comes to mind is the Gecko from Geico. With that lovely Australian accent, he inspired me to do some research on the Gecko.

Here's what I found (thanks to Wikipedia)

1. Some Gecko's are brightly colored, while others are more neutral colored

2. Not all Gecko's can change color to blend in with their environments

3. Not all Gecko's have eyelids - that's why they lick their eyes, to clean them.

4. Females can self-populate. THAT'S RIGHT!!! No need for a man! (I think I like this trait best)

5. The largest Gecko was found in the basement of a museum in France

6. Gecko's have a sweet tooth

So, here's where I think Geico should change their advertising angle...

1. Change from a male Gecko to a female...they get the job done just like Geico

2. Every add they should change the color of the female Gecko to show that Geico can adapt to various parts of the country (think earthquake, hurricane, and snow)

3. When talking about SUV's, they should film in the basement of a museum and use a much larger computer animated Gecko

WHATEVA

Today's plate is: WHATEVA

I don't need your attitude. I don't need your childishness. I think the last time I seriously used the phrase "Whateva!" was definitely back in the '90's. I'm all set with seeing that on the car in front of me. In fact, this person better watch out. That plate may inspire someone to get a little crazy when driving behind them if they're suffering from one or more of the following:

1. PMS

2. A breakup

3. Getting fired

4. A family/friend death

5. Losing money in the stock market

6. Getting stole from

7. Getting lied to

8. Getting laid off

9. Not getting laid

10. Jealousy

DRAMA-1

Today's plate is: DRAMA-1

Guys...run for the hills!

Girls...roll your eyes!

This person is asking to be alone. I mean, really...if you are so full of drama that it is the one quality that you choose to advertise on your license plate then you are not a good person.

Nobody likes drama. Nobody wants to befriend drama. Nobody likes to date drama. However, I think wonder why shows like Bridezilla & Bachelor have drama filled ladies that actually get, keep, and marry a man! Who is the dude? His plate clearly reads BALL-LS ("Ball Less" for those of you who are not as well versed at decoding plates).
