Yet another traffic-induced late start...

Grr. Danged rubberneckers.

And danged comment spammers, too. Came in this morning expecting the usual 4 or 5 overnight comments, and had nearly 40, all spam. Does this really work, spam people? I mean, I understand the volume idea--if only .001% of the 50,000,000 messages you send out get a bite, that's pretty good. But isn't there an easier, more pleasant way to steal from people?

Anyway, in a minute, I am going to say some more bad things, this time about the fair citizens of Ohio. Or rather, their license plates.

Ohioans are are in danger here since their license plates look like diplomat plates. I suspect they're in more danger in NY City where they would be associated with the UN.

Slippery slope warning!

Once you start with Ohio, you simply must continue with, oh, say Michigan. Or Missouri. And how about Wisconsin? And *shudder* Canada. Tennessee, even, much as I hate to say it.

Mark my words, there'll be no end to it.

Tennessee's plate makes it really hard to read the middle two letters, but at least we don't have a happy smiley sun face like Kentucky.

Alaska's old yellow plate with the Dipper on it and Arizona's old maroon plate with a saguaro are my favorites. I hate that states have to go changing their plates all the time. Hmph.

Slippery slope or not, I simply must address this affront to my retinas.

Sorry to disctract from the vital bumper adornments discussion, but...

Spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spammity spam, wonderful spam.

You may now continue.

Spam is very good for making slopes slippery.

If I had some of you guys' Photoshop skills, I'd simply create a license plate that shows a can of SPAM on it--thus combining two major issues into one. It could be a plate for, oh, who knows? DC?

Well, Stan, you could start with this.

Or for those who are opposed, this.

Hey Terry, those tags are pretty cool. I'd pick the SPAM H8R one myself. I might have known someone would have already thought of that.

Oh, come now, Stan--it's only chopped pork shoulder and ham. It's very tasty and nutritious! And it even comes with gelatin!
