Today some friends and I were heading south on 29 and I saw the coolest license plate: L33T. I could not stop laughing and pointing and acting all geeky. My friends smiled and nodded. Good thing I wasn't driving.

But youse guys understand, don't you? :bawling:

Ok, I'll admit that I've never known that one. I think I've come to grips with the majority of the little internet lingo thingies (took me ages to figure out n00b), but this one I don't recall ever knowing. The 3's are E's correct? So what's LEET? As in elite? I've either forgotten or never known, I can't recall which but either way...

L33T is indeed elite.. your right on the nob Chicken.

Whooo hooo I'm on the nob! I seemed to recall it was a distant association of some sort. I also enjoy trying to figure out what the gangs scribble all over the school...

hmm how bout i get l33t h4x0r for my plate ?

I want to get:

FUx0r U

Errr... mods if you find the above inapropriate please delete it. Just thought it would be funny. :D

Anyway, I've been sort of trying to come up with a plate. I wanted su root, but it's taken here. According to the DMV website, though, l33t is available. MarcD's l33t h4x0r is too many characters (we only get 8), but shortened to l33th4xr it would work, and is available. So is 3l33t, but it seems like nobody writes it with that first 3 anymore.

Ah... suddenly the dmv website has stopped responding... "can not process this transaction..." And I wanted to find out if b1ff was available!

Maybe I should start a poll... which plate should I get?

Chicken, get all your L33T H4x0r j4rg0n figured out here: http://www.antionline.com/jargon/

my license plate is very easy...

"EASY"

You guys are all so January 8th. The latest edition of the Script Kiddies User Manual (SKUM) lists the proper spelling as:

1337

We were gonna use the pipe, instead of the 1, but then we realized that none of us knew what a pipe was.

The official script kiddie alphabet only contains the following 19 characters:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 @ $ / \ > < x ] [

If you can't make your desired word out of those characters, then you are a lamer, trying to type lame words.

Be sure to put it on the back of an IROC, just for the full effect.

How about an IROC Z28 :D Should do the trick, now to get the 12 grand to buy it from my neighbor :P

Make sure you grow the mullet before you buy the IROC, otherwise they might have to sic a convoy on your butt :D

hahahahah...... Ewwww bad memories of the 80's :D

I am almost certain you can't buy an IROC without a mullet. Federal law of some sort or maybe it was in the Holy Scriptures. Anywhooo, I know 'round here the cops look at you funny if they catch you driving one sans mullet and if you own another car without the plate, "So cool". i think the DMV mandates that those plates stay together.

I assume you are a guy. There is not a girl in the world who would get it into her mind to put that on her license plate ;)

Actually, I think an amendment to that law was passed recently that now allows several variants of the prase so cool (e.g. sooo cool, so coool, etc) as well as variants on the phrases:

to [sic] cool
too cool
[insert preposition] rad
[insert preposition] hot

[insert preposition] hot Yeah, it'd be smart to put something like that on the car. I drive too fast for those.

Couple of weeks ago I was going to a party at a friend's house. It was about 11 pm on Saturday night, and I was on the Southern State Parkway (New York, 55 mile statewide speed limit), where traffic was moderately heavy. The right lane was pretty clear, though, so I passed a couple of dozen cars with a quick acceleration to just over 95 mph and pulled smoothly onto the exit ramp. Brake hard before the turn; downshift. Surprise! Another car right behind me. No surprise at all, he lights me up.

So, antiticket moves: I hit the right turn signal, turn on the dome light, and point in the mirror to indicate both that I see him and that I'm stopping as soon as it's safe. I get off the ramp and pull to the shoulder. And switch the stereo off the noisy CD I was listening to over to the classical station. Presto, quiet, calm, responsible businessman.

State trooper... so I tell him I'm going to work. "Late shift?" "Yeah, I do computer stuff; I have to go in after the real work is done and the staff has left..." A little more brief conversation, and then he says "OK, good enough. Be careful, it's the holiday season."

That's nine, yep 9, straight times I've been pulled over for traffic violations, with not one citation. I have no doubt that a plate like HOTRADFASTCAR would put an end to that.
