Kindof makes you want to give 'em a little "bump" just to see if it's true.
Posted by: Marilyn at December 5, 2007 09:32 AM
phah!!!! That cracked me up! And I can't believe I'm this close to first...
Posted by: katelaines at December 5, 2007 09:33 AM
HAHAHA! That is probably my favorite thing.
Posted by: Elizabeth at December 5, 2007 09:36 AM
I wonder if they were on Bridezillas.

HAH!!! Too funny! Thanks for making my morning.
Have a good day.

Too funny!

I got behind them in traffic and I was like, "Aw sweet, just married!" and then I saw the license plate and about died laughing.
I think I am maybe a little older than the generation that thinks it's cool to call each other bitches. That word --to me -- is still a very derogatory word used only to describe a woman who is heinous. When I hear girls calling each other "bitch" it makes my skin crawl a little. Then I remember I'm old.

And I guess they couldn't pay their registration -- wedding cost too much?

truth in advertising.
Posted by: smokeyJoe at December 5, 2007 10:11 AM
Wow. At least the groom can't say she didn't warn him up front!
Posted by: Nancy Knits at December 5, 2007 10:21 AM
Well, at least she's upfront about it. He can't say he wasn't warned!

What a nice shiny red jeep you have!
I'm so old fashioned I was just wondering why they took HER car on the honeymoon - go figure!
Posted by: Leslie in Mass at December 5, 2007 10:32 AM
Honesty. That's what I like to see in a relationship!
Posted by: trashalou at December 5, 2007 10:39 AM
OMG - - LOL!!
Too funny! Thanks for the laugh today - - I needed that!
Posted by: Liz J in Illinois at December 5, 2007 10:41 AM
Cute. And I think the use of the word may have more to do with where you grew up and not about age because my friends and I have been using the word for each other since the early 80s.
Posted by: Dagny at December 5, 2007 10:48 AM
Aww.....what's on the windshield is sweet!
But...why only Mrs.?
Good luck to the groom.
And the lisence plate cover...only in LA!
ps. Again, I'm in the top 20s of your commenters. Hmmm, I guess everyone else is X-mas shopping. Sadly, I'm at work.
Posted by: Janet at December 5, 2007 10:55 AM
What happens when she goes on a job interview? Or when she meets with her priest for confession? Or when she applies for a home loan
Am I too old, or does it seem totally unprofessional/silly/weird/tacky to let the WHOLE WORLD see your joky license plate? That would be like wearing an "I'm with stupid" t-shirt to a company banquet.
Posted by: Sara A-G at December 5, 2007 11:07 AM
Janet, you are not alone. Sadly, I am working too :)
Yes, the whole time period between Thanksgiving and January 5th or 6th is a vast internet wasteland for traffic. It seems like everyone else is on a relaxing vacation... or maybe shopping.. or baking cookies... or anything besides designing ad banners... heheheh
Dagny, I hadn't thought of that, I bet you're right. I think it does depend on where you grew up, also that makes me feel less old so I am embracing your philosophy!!!!
Posted by: laurie at December 5, 2007 11:07 AM
Bwahahahahahaha! Oh thank you for that laugh today.
Posted by: heidi at December 5, 2007 11:16 AM
hmm.. well I guess a vague disclaimer is nobody's friend ;)
Posted by: Justin at December 5, 2007 11:16 AM
Maybe he bought her the license plate frame as a warning to others?
Posted by: Amy in StL at December 5, 2007 11:18 AM
Only 49%!
Fuck that Noise, if you're gonna go bitchy!
GO BITCHY 100%
That's my motto and probably the reason I'm not married.
Posted by: psychomom at December 5, 2007 11:51 AM
My first thought was - what are my percentages? Methinks I need to work on being a little less self-centered, which means I'm probably 99% bitch. And, I agree, I don't call my friends bitch, either, and might get slapped if I did.
Posted by: Alicia at December 5, 2007 11:53 AM
Yikes!! I hope the new husband wears a cup. All the time! Perhaps you could design a knitted cup cozy?
Posted by: Liz R at December 5, 2007 12:09 PM
Have to agree about anouncing to the world your weirdo license plate. Reminds me of the amazing email addresses that I see when I am hiring someone (to work in an office)...I get these responses from Monster from "partygirl72@yahoo.com" or "starprincess@hotmail.com"...I'm never quite sure how to word my reply...
Posted by: aileen at December 5, 2007 12:35 PM
Too funny! Any takers want to bet on how long that marriage will last?
Posted by: Mary in Virginia at December 5, 2007 12:38 PM
funny. I wonder how, exactly, did she determine the percentages? Was there a survey? Is there a blood test? Statistically, the numbers seem too close to really be different.
Posted by: Julianne at December 5, 2007 01:02 PM
Now, it makes me wonder.. did she buy the plates herself? OR were they a gift (warning) from someone else?
Either way... I'd not want to drive too close.
Posted by: Jeannie in Korea (for now) at December 5, 2007 01:05 PM
LOL!
I'm agreeing with all the comments so far, too...
btw, her tags are WAY overdue ;)
Posted by: Heidi at December 5, 2007 01:07 PM
gee what a lucky guy.
Posted by: robinv at December 5, 2007 01:21 PM
Hmmm, I'm surprised that there aren't a fleet of divorce lawyers trailing that car...LOL
Posted by: stephE at December 5, 2007 01:25 PM
My husband got me a fridge magnet bearing that identical message 20? 25? years ago. Or maybe I got it for him. Tempus fugit and all that. Anyway, for some odd reason he still likes me.
Posted by: Lucia at December 5, 2007 02:04 PM
Was this a same-sex wedding?
.
Posted by: The Other Ruth at December 5, 2007 02:43 PM
LMAO!!! Forewarned is forearmed.
Posted by: Wannietta at December 5, 2007 02:56 PM
Hahahahahah. *snort*
I do find your photography skills impressive.
Posted by: Sue F. at December 5, 2007 04:15 PM
My sister had that same license plate holder... I think she got the percentages wrong... she was 99% bitch.
Posted by: zuma at December 5, 2007 04:26 PM
That's awesome. You've inspired me to have my camera at all times now. Of course...I learned my lesson quickly that you must CHARGE the camera in order to take the pictures with said camera. I tried to photograph something from my car the other day and...yup....no charge. Aw rats! Anyway...big huge fan of your blog. I've never commented before, though. So, now I'm no longer a comment virgin. :O)
Posted by: jilibn73 at December 5, 2007 04:37 PM
Laurie, glad I could make you feel a little less old. Because you have to remember that I grew up in the world of Tupac, Too $hort, and E40.
Posted by: Dagny at December 5, 2007 04:49 PM
Not sure what my percents would be... lately I am not sure if I am getting bitchier or people are just getting dumber?
Oh well, still wouldn't advertise on my car.
Posted by: Risha at December 5, 2007 04:55 PM
Great photocommentary. Here's another picture just for you!

Scroll down a couple of pictures to see a ROOM MADE ENTIRELY OF CHEETOS!
Oh, and get out all your wooly stuff - rain tomorrow.
Posted by: Maureen at December 5, 2007 05:49 PM
Fair warning, perhaps? That's classic.
Posted by: Kris at December 5, 2007 06:19 PM
I want to know where the ones that say 49% gentleman 51% asshole- Im looking for one for my soon to be X. I feel like running into traffic everytime I see a car with that one it. Can you please come do a tour on East coast? like BALTIMORE? please
Posted by: heather at December 5, 2007 06:41 PM
Coming out from the woodwork to bump up the comment traffic! I see Laurie's point, and I admit that I rarely use that word jokingly, or in fact any "bad" word. And I'm not a prude or a nice person, or even particularly old. (SORRY!) I'm just more likely to use words like "honey" or "sweetie" with an edge to them than to call someone a bitch.
That said, I do call a few of my closest friends Bitch, occasionally. In that case, it's a term of endearment--like, "I allow you to call me Bitch, because our friendship has extended for donkey's yeas."

go figure
Posted by: Mary at December 6, 2007 04:49 AM
Ha! Great find---that's priceless. I laughed out loud.
Posted by: jenna at December 6, 2007 05:23 AM
Laurie--
haven't you seen the book, "Why Men Love Bitches"-- not that reading it is enough for anyone (especially sweet girls)to want to change, but it does seem to validate the idea that a girl worth fighting for is one who is her own person. Which reminds me...I dreamed last night that my step-mother told me that the only way to find love is by doing the things that you love to do and then a guy will find you. Weird. Not too thrilled about dreaming of my step-mom, but she is a great example of doing whatever the hell she wants!
Posted by: zina at December 6, 2007 07:00 AM
Laurie,
Have you seen THIS website? I just saw it posted on another blog I read:
http://kittywigs.com/wigindex.html
It is hilarious! :-)
Posted by: Liz J in Illinois at December 6, 2007 09:28 AM
Come on, people. It's not her license plate, on file with the DMV, etc. It's just a license plate holder, one that probably replaced a cheap holder from the car dealer. No one keeps track of plate holders. They're a traditional, if ephemeral place for jokes and other statements.
The funniest plate holder I ever saw said:
Chains Required
Whips Optional
Or maybe it was the one I saw near a Naval Air Station:
My Other Car
Is an F/A-18
Posted by: Mary the Digital Knitter at December 6, 2007 05:37 PM
Hey - stop posting photos of my car on-line!!!
... oops... I'm not really married, just shacked...
... and I don't have a car.
Sorry.
:-)
Thanks for the chuckle!
