Oh, Who Are the People In Your Neighborhood?
Okay, I have to talk about the gay vanity plates that I see every day on the long trek from my car to my office.
BIRDIE
This one is kind of cute. And we must have the same start time (okay, my official time is 7:15, but it’s usually closer to 7:25 when I roll in) because I often park next to her. I assume it’s a her because it would be BIRDY if it was a him, right? It’s kind of comforting to always park by the same person. Like, “Oh! Good morning, Birdie!” Because that’s the kind of relationship I enjoy – the kind I can have with inanimate objects without the capacity to piss me off..
KC FAN
Um, what does KC stand for? Is this some college sports thing I’m unaware of? Or did “N THE SUNSHN BND” just not fit on the plate? I think, if you’re going to have a vanity plate this unclear, you need to surround it with clarifying bumper stickers. “Go Kansas Corn-Detasslers!”
MS HOBO
Okay, hobos wear patchy clothes and ride trains and fight with dogs for garbage, right? I don’t think they drive Infinities. With fuzzy steering wheel covers. And if you’re married to one? That’s probably not something you want to advertise. Or apparently she just divorced a hobo and kept his car and his name?
GO CMPN
I’m assuming “Go Camping,” right? That makes sense. Which is nice. Camping is nice, if you’re into bugs and weather and that sort of thing. But the more I think about it, the more I don’t like it’s commanding quality. “GO! CAMPING!” Hey! Don’t tell me what to do! YOU’RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME!
RUN DMC
*siiiiiigh* Excuse me, sir? 1984 called and wants its license plate back. Seriously, why renew this every year? Why pay the money for… gah. I’m so disappointed by this, I can’t even muster up a good rant. I mean, RUN DMC? God. It’s just so pathetic.
They’re the people that you meet, when you’re walkin’ down the street – they’re the people that you meet each daaaaaaaay!
Comments
I'm pretty sure KC not a college sports thing, but a professiona sports thing, as in "Kansas City". Probably the Kansas City Chiefs (football) or the Kansas City Royals (baseball).
That's the extent of my sports knowledge.

what about the plates makes them gay? are they rainbow?
as a KC fan myself, i know it's probably the chiefs or the royals. they may both suck, but KC fans are loyal.

KC probably equals Kansas City.
Ms HOBO? While a hobo is a tramp and if the car is as nice as you describe,well, I'll let you fill in that description.
And obviously DMC is a company initials, and this person is the president (hence they run) Dirt Meal Corporation, the company that puts the taste into cafeteria food and has since the beginning of time. Here at DMC, we've been around as long as dirt, and those rolls prove it.

"...okay, my official time is 7:15, but it’s usually closer to 7:25 when I roll in..."
Huh??? I am supposed to start at 7:30 and even though I am rarely on time, I am here before you fairly often!
