Miscellany. Photos, license plates, etc.

Last week, a local theater had their sign reading:
ICE AGE 2
FRIENDS
WITH
MONEY

I know what they meant. It was still funny, and could be read so many different ways, given the total lack of punctuation there!

Today I saw a license plate XQQQ ME - which I couldn't help reading, once I figured it out, as "excu-cu-cuse me". Even though I'm sure it wasn't meant to be enunciated before being pluralized.

Two photos from the visit to my parents' house seemed worth posting. One is a rather cute photo of Scott with a cat. The cat was supposed to be cute, but she didn't really oblige; fortunately, Scott did. The other is a graphic illustration of why visiting my parents requires me to take allergy meds, as the area around there house is similar, even if this shot wasn't taken at their house.

Small world. The guy with that license plate is a sysadmin who used to work for me in Beaverton quite a number of years ago. [Of course, my current senior moment is preventing me from remembering his name.]

Hehe. Cool though! Pretty car, too - bright blue convertible. Is that what it was on then?

Not that I remember, but I'm not sure.

I saw a license plate last night that read "RV03VOM." It wasn't an RV, so I was confused for a minute. Then I realized it was meant to be read by someone in front of them in the rearview: "MOVε0VЯ." That made it crystal clear: "Move over."

*laughs gleefully* That is GREAT! Thank you!

Two days ago I saw a license plate that read "MUAHAHA." I got a picture with my cellphone, but for some reason I haven't been able to send MMS lately, and I wasn't able to post it for the world to see.
