One thing I don't understand... when teaching someone how to make a good PowerPoint presentation (I know, a good PowerPoint presentation is an oxymoron... nobody likes PowerPoint except lazy college professors), one thing is to have contrasting colors for the letters and background so you can see what the hell the presentation says. Kansas' new vanity plates have dark letters on a dark background and actually encourage people to tailgate because you cannot see what the plate says until you are right up on them.

I'm all for truth in advertising so mine should say HANDSOME.

SPACEHOG. Oh, don't worry, they'll add the extra letter unless they want a fat lip. Otherwise it would be something really creative, like the make or model of the car I'm driving.

Nope, Autie, my boy is on the Cox Cable commercials. Ask BoB. His mom likes Cox.

"rockchalker52 1 hour, 25 minutes ago NGRMGMT" "I'm going to just assume I read that wrong." T_O_B

Whoopsie! Damn, can't we have 8 letters!? Also 1 hour 25 min ago is now 2 hours 20 min ago. Why can't we just have date & time!?
