Commuter of the Day 2/2/2009: Baby Something Or Other

Today's odd vanity plate was on a total chick car (I forget the make/model, but clearly it's something daddy bought her).

BABYGIR

When I first saw this, I thought, "Oh, Baby Girl." Then I realized the accepted text message abbreviation for Girl is "GRL". However, this being Georgia, I'll bet a week's salary that BABYGRL was already taken. And, since you can only have 7 characters, BABYGIRL" is hardly an option.

Going with BABYGIR, on the other hand, is just stupid. It's pronounced "baby gir." And that's just nothing. Certainly not as cute as having "GRRBABY" on a car (which I'll bet is also taken).

So, when you can't get your first choice, if your second choice just doesn't make any sense, one really does need to reconsider whether they should get a vanity plate. Because going with a dumb second option just makes you look like a tool.

  1. She is likely as airheaded as her license plate. Better give that one a wide berth!

  2. Better give that one to Lermontov.

  3. If she was a four or above - I'd take her!

  4. I only saw the back of her head as I followed her. Which, I'm guessing, is the only part of her you'd see.

  5. Well as long as the car didn't list alarmingly to the drivers side!

  6. I can say for certain that it didn't, or it would've been one more reason to mock the driver in my initial entry.

  7. Well if it HAD been listing to the left, I would have guessed BABY GIRTH.

  9. Who the hell wants to be known as baby anything? Babies are noisy, smelly and messy.

  10. I have it on the authority of Wikipedia that:

    GIR is one of the main characters from the animated television series Invader Zim. He is a robotic servant of the show's main character Zim, constructed from scrap parts and given to Zim by the Almighty Tallest instead of a regular SIR (Standard-issue Information Retrieval) unit.

    Though I suspect that may not have been what she had in mind either.

  11. Now, now Naut. You wouldn't be referring to l'il Sophasaurus would you.

    She is not noisy or smelly and looks as neat as a pin whenever she appears on your blog.

    There are 34,000 babygir on Google. The first five are blogs. She is breeding and spreading around the world.

  12. Al, babies aren't always exactly as Naut described them. Sometimes, the order is reversed.

    Sure, they clean up well, in photos, when you're far away. But up close? Good Lord they're horrible little parasites.
