In this thread, we help decode vanity plates, bumper stickers, tattoos and more
 

We've all been there. We see a vanity plate or a bumper sticker, a tattoo or something similar and we can't for the life us figure out what it means. In this thread, we can seek help from fellow GCers to unravel these mysteries. Of course, there are always the vanity plates or tattoos that are personal enough no one could ever figure them out, but we can still try.

So what led to this thread? Today at lunch, I saw a guy with this tattoo on the inside of his fore-arm:

V XV X

Any ideas?

Maybe it's a date in Roman numerals? 5/15/10?

Maybe a birthday in Roman Numerals? 5-15-10.

Eta: Jinx!

I'm going with date too. Kid born maybe? Day he got out of jail? Day he got married?

Hmmmm. Possible, I guess, although that was just over a month ago.

Thanks, all.

I think he was trying to remember an appointment on May 15, 2010.

I think it was the date he killed someone. If he'd had his shirt off you would see nothing but dates all over his body, except for one clear spot. That one's for you.

/creeeeeeeeeeepy

^^ LOL

I don't want to get banned but decode this one:

Ignore the "Pwned forever" forever

I saw a porsche once with vanity plates that said "DVRC WIN," and a middle aged woman behind the wheel. I laughed.

That site doesn't allow hotlinking apparently.

Yeah, it's not showing up. Can you find it elsewhere or download from imageshack or somewhere?

ETA: Ummmm wow. Went to the source to see it, although in IE it will show up if you right click on it and choose "Show Picture." I'm pretty speechless, partly because I'm laughing so hard.

Definitely needs a NSFW disclaimer.

Only the location of this one is NSFW, nothing visible.
 

What is it with penis tatoos. Some guys I swear..

Although my favorite WTF tattoo is the Nazi Unicorn.

OK, I didn't realize you had put the image code in there. I googled it and...wow LOL

fave license plates (spotted during graduate studies @ rich private school) "HY OFFCR" & "Pradagy"

Once it's in your browser's temp files, it'll show up on here too. And then OMG PENIS all over the place from all the quotes.

Yea, it just popped up now lol

So...

OMG PENIS

There's a car at school with the plate "LOL CAR."

I love it lol

sidenote: I am highly disappointed by your current siggy, k_s.

I'm about to call up Al and Jesse to do something about those tricks. T.e.r.r.i.b.l.e.

I saw a license plate a few weeks ago that said Kept Woman or however it was spelled to fit lol.

This thread just reminds me of the show Bumper Stumpers...

Ooh! Ooh!! I totally saw a license plate during Spring Break on I-75 that said SPE 1901. Everyone in the car got super excited.

By the time I caught up to them, they exited, though. :(

My favorite tattoo by far: a guy (who happened to be one of my psych patients if that adds to the story) showed me a large tattoo on his lower back. Of what? A piece of 33 cent postage with a dog on it. Not just any dog....a lovable stray from a certain Disney movie.

Yes. He literally inked a "Tramp Stamp." It was the dumbest most assinine thing I'd ever seen. And it was pure awesomeness. :o

I spent 5 years working at the county hospital in Dallas. Think I didn't see some lovely tattoos? My favorite was a 20ish year old guy with a chicken just above his groin area. The beak was pointing down, with the words "Want Some?" Yeah, because any girl that saw that gem was certainly going to get turned on and instantly demand that they throw down. :rolleyes:

There was also the guy who had the virgin Mary tattooed over his entire back... yes, her head was larger than life sized. And there were more tattoos of people having sex- in all sorts of intersting positions- than I honestly care to remember. Who does that? How do you explain those to your children/grandchildren?

As for the vanity plates, I only wish this thread had existed back when I lived in Virginia. Those people have some messed-up, cryptic stuff going on with their vanity plates. I have never seen anything like it!

Not hard to figure out, but really cute.. a coworker of mine has a vanity plate that says Haf Ful and her husband's says Half MT. :)

If any of you Michigan people ever see an AGDEE plate rolling down the road, you better honk and wave!

One of my friends literally has: VNTY PL8

Her ex actually got a tattoo of a fairly large 4-leaf clover on his side, about halfway between his shoulder and his hip. My friend told me one day to ask him about his tattoo. He showed it to me, and I asked him why he got it, and he replied, "I'll always have luck on my side"

Saw a couple of interesting vanity plates on the road this morning. This one cracked me up: U.GOAWAY. And on a speciality plate for cat and dog advocacy: : P


Saw this as well:

DEOTSIDH

Any ideas?

Likes India / is from there

It's a temple!

Thanks. I did wonder if it was Indian, maybe because SIDH looked enough like Sikh. ('Course, it also looks like Sith.)

So does this mean I now have to post in the too-much-time-on-GreekChat thread that I asked a question here before Googling?

Yes. But I didn't disgrace you with a "Let me google that for you" link.

And I only plugged it into google because it didn't make sense any other way. It could totally be something else :p

I once saw a license plate on a Porsche in northern VA that said "I4C14U2". I thought that was pretty cool.

This one's original...

I recently submitted this to a publication, so if you repeat it, it's mine!

My license plate is Phil4 4. It's my favorite Bible verse. I only got it because they sent me DWEEB123, and I hated that.

On the way to way everyday, I seemed to be behind a beautiful Jaguar Acts 3, and thought, "How cool! Another person with Scripture." Read the verse, didn't get the connection, but hey, one person's caviar is another person's nasty.

One morning, we both stopped at a convenience store for coffee, and I said, "I like your license plate - mine's Philippians $;$." He blushed and said, "My wife says I act like a three year old."

And no, I'm not lying!

About 1,000 plates in TN have the random 3-letter combo of WTF.

LOL. I love it!!!!!

I was behind a speeding minivan with the license plate C US GO on it. It definitely fit.

Oh, and my sister-in-law dropped out of school when she was 14 and got her GED. Later she went back to school and is now a MD. She wanted to get license plates that read GED2MD, but her insurance agent advised against it.

LOL-- did her agent explain why it's a bad idea?

She changed her stars. :)

I don't get it... :confused:

Awesome.

Same. Though I do get why it's a bad idea. "Oh that person is a doctor. Let me run into them."
