There is an amazing amount of vanity plates here in Alaska. We see them all the time. Sarah noticed them when she first moved here and I believe I discussed this with Ryanne once too. I drive around looking at these trying to A) figure out what they say, and B) figure out what they mean about the person. Here are some I have seen recently:
LIL SUV
PARTY
HPYFAM
TM2HNT
BRN2FSH
TM2SNO
DADSA4
CASNVA
MOMSVU
PARTY
HPYFAM
TM2HNT
BRN2FSH
TM2SNO
DADSA4
CASNVA
MOMSVU
The last 2 are particularly funny to me. CASNVA is on an old Tahoe much like my old one in Utah. The man who drives it is not particularly attractive and he is old. He drives like one of those punks looking for a race on the Boulevard in Syracuse or on Main in Lovell. And his car is soooo loud!! Like in a "fix-it-before-it-breaks" kind of way not the "look-at-my-cool-engine" kind of way. Anywho, my guess is he is the kind of guy that needs dinner on a TV stand in front of the game and he hits on young girls behind the video counter at Blockbuster.
MOMSVU I see around town a lot. At first I thought she couldn't spell SUV and felt bad for her as only the mom of a fellow dyslexic can feel. Then I thought she was maybe trying to start her own criminal investigations television series. But, I looked closer and saw that the car this plate was on is a Saturn VU. So she's just not creative in her vanity plate. And maybe didn't think through all the interpretations of it.
What would I put? Hmmmm. I have thought about this since it seems to be the thing here to do. I thought of COUGRS, but even though I mean to refer to BYUs mascot I might be perceived as running a club of carousing older women.
Then I thought of BYU, but then I saw one here with it already.
JaDee thought of CUSE as a nod to Syracuse.
GOORNG looked too much like Goo Ring or Goor Nog instead of GO Orange.
MOMVAN is so lame I could puke. And that is so not who I am.
CEO I thought would be cool since it is my kids initials and it would let people think I was some business hot shot and they would spend their time at the red light wondering what important person was in front of them. Simultaneously they would praise me for my practical choice in a mini-van and my dedication to my children as I wait in the carpool lane instead of being at my powerful workplace. All in all a very good choice.
So, what do you think?
And what would you choose for YOU!

I got a good laugh at this post. Vanity plates bug me. Half the time they are untrue about the person like your Casanova or you can't figure out what they even say, and then what is the point? Plus I feel like vanity plates are like tattoos: they sound good/cool at the time & then later on you're sick of it or it no longer applies-- again, like Casanova.
I wanted to get one that said GTNAILD but Randy thought that people might think I am a hooker or something.
I see quite a few vanity plates too. Today I saw G WIZ coming home from Target.
My van's paint is peeling so maybe mine should be CLNKER or STRPPN or PEELIN but of course the second one might give people the idea I'm an exotic dancer and the last one might suggest I work at a banana factory.
I love the vanity plates in Alaska. What else would one do while sitting at a stop sign. Figuring out plates is tons of fun. Anyway, the Alaska DMV has a place to test personalized plates to see if someone already has the one you want. My husband and I got hooked on this when we were deciding our own plates. We went with THKBIG for me and SNWCRZ for him. I can't imagine either of these ever getting old. If I start to loose my mind and want to have smaller or less than big ideas I guess it is time to put me down. As far as my husband he wants to have snow year round. He was in a depression today because the don't have any snow! I think CEO is great for you! What about SASSY or NCHRGE??
When I have seen a vanity plates around town these past couple of days, I have been thinking of your post :) I forgot that Blake's parents used to have them. John's was sssssnake (for his Viper) and Deena used to have a truck that said DAVISEL for Davis Elementary where she was the principal. Blake's siblings used to tease her about it because I'm sure most people read it as one word and had no idea what it meant. I like CEO for you. And just because vanity plates aren't for me, doesn't mean other people can't get them and enjoy them. Sorry if I offended your friend, Kim.
I hate the Vanity Plates! I'm sure i've already told you that. Jed is getting one for his Willy's Jeep that is some variation of Trouble. That is to imply his vehicle is nothing but trouble, or always giving him trouble...not that Jed himself is "trouble" I don't get it!
It's so true! Vanity plates are so big in AK. I was brainwashed at an early age by all the liscense plates I saw around me. It wasn't until I had left the state I gave up my ambitions and ego of having RYANNE. Lame, I know. I like CEO though, thats a good one.
I love Vanity plates. They are such a crack up! My mom would have GMASVAN since she already has it embroidered on her dashmat. My dad would have the
BRN2FSH. I personally would take the
MOR4ME. It is kind of fun to think about anyway... As for now, I will take my Aggie plate and drive!
I guess I don't get it.....Why do you post your life story on the internet for everyone to see? Why are you exposing pictures of your children all over this site for everyone to see? Do you not think that predators have computers? Are you missing something in life? Do you really have nothing else to do? Have the paparrazzi visited your home yet? No? I dont think that they will be anytime soon either.
