A few more riddles for you all.

The owner of this tag might have been a fan of a certain musician, accordionist, bandleader, and television impresario who hosted an epynominous TV show from 1955 to 1982.

A1 AN A2





This one's straightforward. But what's remarkable about the arrangement of the letters. (Think 'Bob' or 'Hannah' or the first name of the man who unified the German principalities in the 1800s):

ATOYOTA




Guess the hair color of this vehicle's owner:

AU YLOKS

The plate's simply "Wunnerful, Wunnerful".
{HINT : and a 1 and a 2 ... and I think the plate was the impresario's himself}

The best one I've seen anywhere was in Meredith.

A snappy looking convertable had the plate BLONDE and it was UPSIDE DOWN (on the front). I thought that was pretty funny!

Seen approaching the Hampton toll booths one Monday morning in late August. Car with MA plates heading south (as was I). I'm guessing we left from the same place...

My NJ plate is "ECHO PT". I get tons and tons of comments and everyone in town knows my plate.

There is another Jersey car with NJ2NH. I stole that one for my webname. Wish I could get that one.

A few years ago, the kids and collected all the good NH plates. I could have sworn I posted this once before, but maybe not. Here goes:

SUESUE
COCKNEY
YUMYUM
FUNSPOT
GAL-UP
B-AS-UR
MSCRAT
WNIPSKE
PIKACHU
CMOMSKI
HEY BABY
BRNBEAR
LAKWIN
LK-WINN
BIG WORM

My nephew sited the last one and started calling me that for the whole vacation.

Got behind a septic service truck today (honey wagon, I guess it's called), and noted they had a personalized plate...

Here's a New Hampshire vanity plate, 13 MPG, seen recently on a grey Porsche sports car.

Default So many clever plates out there...

Yesterday I saw a very clever NH plate: BO-KS4U. Obviously the driver is creative in more ways than one!

One of my favorite ever, which I see frequently around town: IMAREK I crack up every time I see it.

I sat in line at the town hall while the couple in front of me tried vanity plate after vanity plate with "naughty meanings". I felt bad for the clerk who kept telling them, "nope the state won't let you have that either". I felt worse for me as I had to wait while the brain trust just kept trying to say anything inappropriate they could think of. I had a few ideas for them but had enough sense to keep them to myself.

My father frequents this forum and recommended it to me; as a regular forum user I figured this would be a great place to join! It's great to become a member of a forum comprised of local people!

My Vanagon with a Subaru EJ22 motor swap, had it for six years. Vanity plate #1



My Nissan Versa also has a vanity plate, although it does not really make any sense and I can never come up with an actual reason for getting it! Alas, Kung-POW! This Versa is the fourth car to be graced with the KungPow plate!

...that is freakin' hilarious.

Any chance you've seen (or are a fan of) "Dumb & Dumber"?

If so, you'll know what I mean, if not, you should see it. You may get a chuckle out of it (stupid, sophomoric humor, but humor nonetheless).

I've seen Dumb & Dumber, but I (assuming my username could be a reference?) don't remember a whole lot from it. I started contributing to online forums at age 13 (I'll be 21 this fall) and Bubs has always been my username.

Jim Carrey goes across country in a van that looks like a dog and they call it the Shaggin' Wagon.

"Chicks dig it", he says at one point, and it always struck me as funny...told ya it was sophomoric humor...lol.
