NTMID8R

canyonwren's comment on my 'medical procedure' post sparked this memory.

There's a Hummer in town. You know... big as hell, all shiny and ultra-expensive. A vehicle with no reason to exist outside the military. This particular Hummer has a vanity-plate reading "NTMID8R." I may have the letters wrong, but yeah.. "Intimidator." The combination of that vehicle and that license plate fairly screams "I AM AN ASSHOLE! LOOK AT ME!! I AM THE BIGGEST FUCKING ASSHOLE ON THE PLANET!!!"

One day I was driving with Chuck, and pointed out the Hummer, ahead of us at a stoplight. We joked that the license plate should read "CMPNS8R."

One day a few weeks ago, we went to eat at the local Perkins. As we pulled up, he saw it. The Hummer. We went in and sat down. After about three minutes, Chuck said "There he is, bet you a million bucks" and indicated a large, muscle-bound blonde man sitting with a small herd of picture-perfect blonde children and his anorexic blonde wife. I agreed, that was him. We tried to keep the "Compensator" jokes fairly quiet while we ate.

We laughed some more about Compensator as we walked out the the van. Chuck said he wished we could sit and wait for Compensator to come out from the restaurant, so we could know for sure who drives the Hummer. As luck would have it, the Aryan Poster Family walked out just then. The little girls went with their wisp of a mother to the shiny grey SUV, and the little boys were hefted into the Hummer by Daddy-Ape. Chuck and I joked about the Hummer being "a man's vehicle, and for the men of the family to ride in."

ROTFL!!

That reminds me of a pickup I saw around here. I don't remember the couple's names, as I've forever replaced their names in my mind with "Biff" and "Muffy". Why? Because that's exactly the image I got, when I saw their names written on the pickup's back window. "Biff", of course, is the driver. (Whyever would it be any other way?)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

that is so damn funny!

i loathe those larger than life SUV's. and around here they usually are sporting a HUGE american flag sticker. YEAH! way to go! great patriots there! driving a vehicle that is classified as a truck and therefore a NON-passenger vehicle so it isn't held to the same safety standards OR emission control standards that a car is (and minivans, btw)...and it gets shitty gas mileage, therefore using up even MORE of our resources.

oh wait...considering who is in office, i suppose it is considered AMERICAN to drive a gas-guzzling SUV...sieg bush!

sorry, lol...one too many guinness :D

Do you suppose he's gone to 'bully camp' yet?

Love the CMPNS8R concept... I'm just twisted enough that I'd probably print up a mock-license plate with that on it and put rubber cement on the back, then when the RC is tacky enough, go driving around looking for the Hummer and put it on there over the real one...
It would probably only stay on there for a little while (until he noticed it?) but can you imagine how amusing it would be for him to try and explain it to a cop that pulled him over? :)

lol...

Woman Power!

Saturday was the Northwest MotorFest, where Dean's bike was on display, along with many, many other classic and muscle cars. Hummers were not allowed, or at least, not present.

Dean has a big Dodge truck, a.k.a. "The Great Pumpkin", for when he's not riding the Harley. (Also comes in handy when I'm wearing a skirt.)

Anyway, on Saturday, I got to drive the truck, since Dean had to take the bike in to the show, and we didn't want to be immobile the entire day. So, I exerted my female authority and insisted on driving all day! It's the little victories that matter.

And, for some reason, this truck gets pretty good gas mileage.
