Wasting my time on something other than March Madness

[captainsblog]

On a bit or two of housekeeping, for one thing.

Welcome (if she cares to join the fun) one digitalemur, who commented about the same time as I did on one of liddle_oldman's entries earlier. By far the most endearing of the recent entries I found on her journal was one which recounted the complete list of license plates banned by the State of Ohio.  The seven-page .pdf download includes most of the F-variants you'd expect, along with a surprising refusal to let Ohioians express their unfavorable opinions of a certain "state up north," but several of them have me totally at a loss. Including:



FBLUOSU  (doesn't EVERYONE think The Ohio State University is fabulous?)

BEANRN (okay, the flatulence could be an issue, but if she's a nurse anyway,....)

USAFFM (Future Farmers?)

TORTA (these all look delicious to me)

I could go on. Any seem especially clever, or obscure, to you?

Also in the closest-to-home housekeeping, I wanted to plug Eleanor's blog here once more. She goes by plantmom, and many of you have Friended her, but at least one was wondering what her LJ name was. Wonder no more.

In the prospective time-wasting category, the DLM movie just arrived from its Very Long Wait!  I miss me my George.

THIS one,

not this one


ETAAnd guess what? The DLM movie's now streamable on Netflix! Nice to tell me that AFTER I've been saving a queuespot for it for most of the past two weeks /somethingIcantsayonanOhiolicenseplate

And just six hours to go until the momentous SUNY Binghamton upset of Duke.

Oh, and I've clicked twice on the little oldman link and it won't take me there, tells me there is no such person, darn you frank!

Baa.

The DLM made-for-DVD movie is a satisfying reprise and evolution of the TV series. It would bomb in theaters. What we need is some fan-fic to flesh-out the theme.

My favorite "iffy" license plate: PROBE ME. Seen on a Ford Probe in Kingsport, TN several years ago. Perhaps the owner was a proctologist?

If I'd chosen proctology over my life's work, I'd go with a vanity plate of
