One of the diversions of sitting in commuter traffic is trying to figure out just what the fuck those vanity plates mean. Take the plate up there. Sure, I bet the guy thought, "'Hot Car One', that's like so righteous, dude" or however they talk in New Hampshire. But to me, at a distance, it looks more like Hot Carl, which is closely related to a Cleveland Steamer or a Rusty Trombone, activities we hesitate to mention this close to Mother's Day.
(Mom, DO NOT Google Cleveland Steamer. Trust me.)
My daughter tells this story about a girl she knew. The girl had a vanity plate that read:
ANUSTART
A friend looked at it, puzzled, and said, "Anus tart? What the hell is an anus tart?"
The girl, near tears, said, "It's 'A NEW START.'"
So be careful what you put on the back of your cars, ladies and gentlemen. Or do like me and let the guys in Central Prison decide what your plate will say. There's much less chance you'll sport an unintentional
DRTY SNCHZ.

I recently sighted a woman driving a car with the licence plate:
KY LADY
Perhaps she's from the Blue Grass State.
One I saw the other day was "YMI INLA", which I thought a reasonable question given the traffic out here (assuming the driver didn't mean Louisiana, where she obviously wasn't), and I found myself asking, "Yeah why ARE you in LA? Go home!"
Your imitation of the New Hampshire dialect was spot on, at least since the plague of Valspeak has reached pandemic proportions. I know women from Canada who sound like they grew up in Sherman Oaks.
After reading your post I felt a great shame.
Prior to this I had never heard of a Hot Carl or Rusty Trombone. Now granted, I'm glad I've never had firsthand experience of any of these, but you'd think I'd at least know the terms.
There's obviously something lacking in my education.
stephen,
I know of Hot Carls second-hand, but a Rusty Trombone, now that's something every man should experience before he dies.
Oh, what, have I said too much?
You bark like a dog in a bathtub.
"Oh, what, have I said too much?"
Yes. yes, you have.
