License plate maker

This one is just goofy fun. It's a site that makes a JPG image for you of any state's license plate with any text on that you'd want. 2 uses for it I can think of are

  1. To adorn a slide in a presentation that's not supposed to be entirely serious
  2. To punctuate an important point in a light-hearted email to a friend. For example, after last year's ALCS, you might have a sent a buddy this plate in a mocking note:

Alex's traffic hypothesis <p> I didn't get my license until I was 18, and I can't follow directions worth a lick.... The way I see it is, there's 2 kinds of traffic, necessary and unnecessary. Necessary traffic has 3 causes: Weather - Rain, snow, glaring sunlight Accidents - On your side of the road or the other Overcrowding - Too many people trying to driving in the same direction Unnecessary traffic is caused by idiots.... After dealing with it a lot over the last year, I understand it better than I used to. While unnecessary jams are usually attributed to people driving too slow, I believe that's not the real problem.... I learned a lot of funny laws the summer I spent working in a Massachusetts courthouse, and the one I remember each time I'm making bad time on a highway is that it's technically illegal to stray from the right lane if you're not passing another driver. Perhaps that's only in Massachusetts, but the law ought to be on the books everywhere because it addresses the heart of our problem: 2 cars driving 70 MPH next to each other create a much bigger traffic issue than 1 car doing 55, even it's it's in the fastest lane.... Drivers who take offense at being passed on the right are ignoring the fact that they were able to be passed on the right because they were in the wrong lane for the speed at which they're driving. If you don't believe me, then do this little test the next time you're on the open road: watch how easily you fly by an old lady cruising at 10 below the limit, then observe how hard it is to get around 2 morons driving in sync like they're grounded Blue Angels. </p>

Dropped like a bad habit My roomate had sleep issues, so I'd study in the dorm's basement, by the boiler room in order to keep the lights on. As I developed tolerance and dependance on thses drinks, it'd take more and more to keep me awake down there, and enough of that stuff in one night would really get me spooked out.... As a goalie, I didn't have to run around a whole lot, but I needed cat like relexes, and they don't come easily when you're getting 180 hours/month of sleep, mostly on the weekends.... When you're under 21, it's handy to be able to get drinks with free refills at restaurants, but that basically went out the window for me, because only a very few places included lemonade or iced tea on the refill list.
