'XXX' plates recalled (North Carolina)

[EveningStar]

More than 9,000 North Carolina license plates have been recalled because they begin with "XXX" — a common symbol for sexually explicit material...

[EveningStar]

TaЯd ping!

"Tard" refers to the ping list members and not to the subject of the thread!

It is also cartoon shorthand for hard liquor.

Just like I never see those money bags with dollar signs on them.

"XXX" — a common symbol for sexually explicit material...

Huh? I thought it stood for booze....and would be a great homage to the Moonshiner's legacy of North Carolina.

My california plates begin with

6BUM

[doodad]

Not Vin Diesel fans I guess.

[thulldud]

Somewhere the state maintains a list of "forbidden" letter combinations. Every state has it.

Somebody just forgot one, is all. It was only in the last several months that NC got up to "X" as the first letter. The issue never came up before.

...But thanks to the Left, real pornography is available to kids at your public library. Funny world, eh?

[Constitution Day]

Good grief!

(And Bat_Chemist runs the NC ping list now)

[WarToad]

I see a collectors item.

if your handle means that you are a dad, and in your 50’s, I am only a few weeks away from joining your club. The 50’s part.

Real pornography has been as easy as pie to get since we were youngsters. Likely well before that. Most of what I read suggests that it’s not the kids viewing porn at the library, it’s the oldtimers who have no internet connection of their own.

[Between the Lines]

In South Carolina all dealers plates have an XX prefix.

[Vigilanteman]

Sometimes drinking too much XXX will lead to seXXX, but that was my first impression as well.

When I assumed the handle, it meant I was a Dad in the 50's mentality...work hard, buck up, stop whining, do your homework, the world doesn't owe you anything, you have to earn it, that kind of thing.

As the years have passed, I have moved towrds the OTHER meaning of the pseudonym...check with me in 2010!

Oh my god!
Brilliant!!

Real pornography has been as easy as pie to get since we were youngsters.

We occasionally found old Playboys, and I could buy National Lampoon because the people behind the counter never knew what was in them. But all that was quaint and cuddly compared to what five minutes with a search engine will find you today. I have to question the valuation of the term "real", when you consider what's apparently out there now.

Likely well before that.

"Tijuana bibles"? Whew, that's the really rough stuff! ;)

[JWinNC]

Gee, they only had to make 9000 before someone said, “wait a minute...”

That my home state, led by Dims and Rinos.

That was a very cunning stunt!

My favorite (enigmatic) vanity plate of all time:

NRTTTT

Get it?

[PLMerite]

They’re in a tizzy about regular-series plates XXX-1234 ?

Don’t they have better things to do at the DMV, like revoking the licenses of illegal aliens?

[Calvin Locke]

Some state started issuing plates that began with GAY because that's what the incremental "numbering" system reached.

People started complaining, and of course, the GLBT lobby complained about the original complainers.

Might have been in MA during the 1980s.

[Rebelbase]

The gal I date has one of the NC series that starts SXC, very fitting.

[kinsman redeemer]

Did she tell you that you’re her first beaux?

[Rebelbase]

I’m about 30 years too late for that.

"In our forties"?

I always thought 6UL-DV8 was pretty funny.

[Slings and Arrows]

I guess they're worried about auto-eroticism.

Please FRmail Bat_Chemist if you want to be added to or removed from this North Carolina ping list.

I once hired a fellow from Virginia who actually had:

DMV SUX

No kidding.

(I had to fight for 9Y6 on my old roadster - they thought it was dirty.)

[kinsman redeemer]

Yes it translates to “In Our Forties” - and yes, I am beyond the practical use of it for myself.

[Renderofveils]

I've seen a GOVTSUX personalized plate on a customer's car in our store's parking lot.

I wanted to buy that guy a beer.
