Jenna F. has many explanations for this plate. She writes, "This is a Marine Corps wife. The Marines are told, 'If we wanted you to have a wife, we would have issued you one!' so she's saying she was issued to her Marine. I read it as she has serious issues of some type. She is 'issue'-d. Or, she misses Ed..."

Eric writes, "A friend of mine took this one around Baltimore a year ago. I'm not 100% sure about it, but I think it's from a song from rapper Lil John (don’t know what the song name is called, I don’t listen to rap). So with that I think it reads skeet, skeet, skeet."

Thank you for sharing that.

This translates to "the valley" in Spanish. However, I don't really see why you'd put this on your license plate.

CHOCOBO

2008-09-17T08:40:00.002-06:00

"CHOCO" could mean chocolate, which could indicate Hershey, Pennsylvania, as the plate's origin, but the "BO" is incomprehensible.

There's a pet peeve that many people have: Customized license plates. They started out as a fun little treat given to US citizens, but they have grown into a quite annoying tradition, especially when...

You can't understand what is on that plate.
You can't understand why it's on that plate.

The blog License to Rant was a very popular blog written by blogger Kjaere from June 2007 to May 2008. As many people's favorite blog, I just couldn't bear to see it end, so I, with Kjaere's permission, have decided to continue License to Rant as a kind of "sequel blog", called License 2 Rant. As with the first blog, just email me (ff@q.com) if you've found a customized license plate that bugs you, confuses you, or annoys you, and it'll be posted on the blog for others to look at and comment and guess about. I hope you enjoy it!
