State of Iowa rejected vanity license plates

[Angie]

One day, @Mr Janny and I were driving down Duff. I saw the below car in front of us, and I burst out laughing so hard I couldn’t talk. He asked me eventually why I was laughing so frigging hard.

Me: “That license plate, I can’t believe they got it through.”
Janny: “…Why?”
Me: “‘Love to see ‘em pee?’ This dude is announcing he is into water sports.”
Janny (laughing): “…or they love to camp?”
Me: “Ohhhhhhh.”

If it takes more than 20 seconds to figure out what your personalized plate means than it’s stupid and you wasted whatever the extra cost is to have it.

A couple recents I've seen.

MLFCNT in Norwalk. I'm assuming this was supposed to say Maleficent.

MYD4CY around Des Moines.

Seen in SW Iowa, ISUCAS5. Could be interpreted a few different ways.

I think back in the 80's a guy in Waterloo had the license plate 3M TA3 They got lots of complaints when people saw it in their mirror. He claimed it was his business name but had to turn the plates in when he couldn't provide any proof.

Here is a favorite license plate on a car that I walk by at my workplace parking garage each day…

A couple years back I requested Cyclone plate LOYALAF a couple times but got rejected.

Tried to convince them it meant Loyal Ames Fire where I work but they weren’t buying it lol

Strange that got rejected while this got through.

I don't think this is real but still funny. The letters look photoshopped. Muscatine is small enough, I think I would have heard talk of this plate if it existed.

Ok- whose plate is this? C’mon now.

"Got lots of complaints"? Don't people have better things to do with their time?

Probably depends on the approver? You can sneak one through if you're convincing enough with your explanation.

I'm ISU, a fan!

This is what I assume this was. If they produce proof of current or past Air Force enlistment they probably would be very careful about denying.

Think it doesn’t matter. My son knows a kid whose last name is Fosdick. He wanted that for his plates. They said it’s inappropriate. So he went with Fosd1ck. Like, WTF man.

What I was suggesting is that they might be wary about denying a veteran who has a legitimate plate that celebrated his/her veteran status even if they thought it was skirting the line.

Just a littlle bit ago here in Ankeny, I saw

IEATCHZ

I don't think I want to know if there's a hidden meaning.
