Almost the Coolest Thing!

As Derek and I were driving home from our weekend in the Catskills, we noticed a mini-van with the vanity plate, "BROOKLYN." We were blown away. I mean of all of the cars, on all of the highways, we happen to be driving behind the car that was able to secure "BROOKLYN" for a vanity plate. How freaking cool is that.

We folllowed the mini-van for a decent amount of time. The entire time we were totally impressed by the "BROOKLYN" license plate. And you know that Derek, the unofficial King of Brooklyn, was even a bit jealous.

Then the other shoe dropped. As we went to pass the mini-van I noticed the license plate was actually, "BRODKLYN." The "D" totally looked like an "O" from 20 feet away. The mini-van gets kudos for a clever solution. But it totally wasn't as cool as "BROOKLYN" would have been.

(This weekend has been filled with interesting vanity plates. We met a guy names Big Paulie, who had "BIGPAULIE" for a license plate on his white towncar, with blue roof.)
