DOOTIE was captured by the lovely Amanda W.
Besides the obvious interpretation of "poop," I was trying to think of other explanations for this plate, but I all the other ideas I came up with were crap. Heh.

Well, Virginia is for lovers.
Had to share GLRY HOL (Glory Hole) with you from the FailBlog. I am guessing that this person doesn't know what that is slang for, do they? Or hell, they probably do.... This is Virginia we are talking about! Huzzah!!

Nothing left to lose
Candice sent in PHREDUM. Yes, that is supposed to say "Freedom."
Maybe this driver was going for something like, "Free to be dumb?" Free to be dumb, as in, free to own an obnoxious yellow gas guzzling SUV with accompanying stupid vanity plate? I think that works better, don't you?

Well, now I am.
Carm, the crazy cat lady, sent in R U NUMB (Are you numb?). She writes:
Belonging to a Dentist? Anesthesiologist? Bartender?
Drug dealer? Pink Floyd fan? All of the above? My eyes are going numb just looking at this vanity plate.

This car looks slightly smaller in the cold.
Courtney sent in ICE PNS, which I would guess to this driver means Ice Princess, but without an R in PNS, PNS just looks like penis. Courtney writes:
I was "lucky" enough to catch this on my way home the other day. All I could think, at first, was "Oh, brrrr! And I thought an annual exam was chilly!"

The trunk contains a smelly surprise!
Carm (The Crazy Cat Lady) sent me this fantastic plate, BTFLBRWN, which I am pretty sure, to the owner, means "Beautiful Brown." Carm suggests: Beautiful beautiful brown eyes? Preference for brunettes? Attracted to UPS trucks?
So I emailed her back with my misinterpretation: Butt Full of Brown?
She quickly responded: In other words- full of shit??
BWHAHAHAHA!

Screaming Metal Deathtrap
I think I am going to stay with yesterday's theme of bad parking and bring you this next plate from Jenna Lee A, RIDE2DIE (Ride to die). She writes: Ride to Die; Can't park to live (see curb in lower left corner).
And isn't the phrase supposed to be "ride OR die?" As in, you're down for whatever, even if it kills you? To me RIDE2DIE just screams suicide vehicle. How pleasant.

Specialist in Urinanalysis
John K. snapped PICUP MN. At first glance I see "Pickup Man," either referring to this man's love of trucks or the "art" of picking up women. Upon further staring, however, I see "Pick up men," which, you see, is probably the exact opposite of what this guy is trying to convey. Or how about:
Pee! I see you pee, man!

Oh yes we did.
Sarah K. sent in MOM GINA. Not to be confused with a mangina, we are talking about mothers here.
Wait, what?! OM$%#@G this is so GROSS! If your name is Gina, I'm sorry, you are officially prohibited from placing words in front of your name, especially on a vanity plate.
Plus, you should never talk about your momma like that. EvAR.
(Got a misinterpretation you want to share? Sent it our way!)

Winnie the Poop
ILKPOOH is from John K. I understand that that this driver might be a fan of Winnie the Pooh, but just say this plate out loud to yourself. Yeah, they like poo. Or better yet, they lick poo. And if they don't lick poo? Well that still leaves the possibility of this driver licking a children's story character.
Oh but wait! There's more!
POOHNUT comes to us from Amanda. I'm am just NUTS about feces! Or maybe this is just a descriptive term for already digested nuts?
The possibilities are endless.

Virginia IS for lovers [and vanity plates]
LadyStyx sent in MKGLOL. So at first I thought, "How cute; They make people LOL (Laugh Out Loud)," but the real interpretation of this plate soon became clear: Making Lots of Love.
Eww. Keep your love making to yourselves please. Otherwise, I'm going to crash this car from the aneurysm I just had.

WHY CAN'T I SEE THIS BEER?!?!
EYEBREW is from Sarah. I am pretty sure they were going for something along the lines of, "I brew." However, that is a very unique way of putting it, right? Eye Brew? Sounds more to me like you are fermenting eyeballs.
Who wants a pint? Anyone??

Just wrong.
MKSUCM is from, well, read the e-mail:
NO! It can't mean THAT!! Who would put such a thing on their car? Of course, it is on a Cadillac Escalade and Cadillac drivers often seem to have an over-inflated self-image, but, still....NO! I refuse to believe it! someone help me out here!
Keith "now I have to wash my eyes out with bleach" S.
Someone help me too, because I do not want to interpret this plate for those that aren't getting where this misinterpretation is going (and I hope that is what this is, a misinterpretation). Esh, Virginia. For shame!

I'm only speeding because I really have to poo.
Alison B. sent us POOLADY (Poo Lady). She writes:
Really... she didn't smell that bad...
Alison also sent another photo (not pictured) of the back of this car that helps us out with the real interpretation, which indicates this is a Pool Lady; as in, she plays pool. Pool Lady FAIL!
It's too bad, lady-- You're just one L away from not being the poop lady.

Get 'er done
Not the greatest vanity plate in the world, but I will still present to you GOTIT DN (Got it done?) from Jenna Lee A. The reason I posted this, however, is to warn you that you should never, ever put the word TIT on your license plate. People are going to go there (Go Tit Dan?). Actually, they just did.
Got 'er did, Tit Dan.

I'm a hustler baby
Lisa D. captured this lovely photo of WHORYOU, which I know is supposed to mean "Who are you?" but doesn't it look like something else (whore you)? Lisa helps out with the plausible second meaning of this plate:
...and WHORYOU? I was thankful it wasn't YOUWHOR.

I have gooder grammar and spellings skill than you.
Sarah K. sent us CUTHEIR (See you there?).
She writes: My husband took this photo after I pointed out that some people still haven't grasped the three forms of "there, their, they're" I'm pretty sure I learned this in 3rd grade...
I guess they could also cut "heir." Ugh.
Seriously? Where did you get your education? It's EDUCATION. You're going to look really stupid if you spell it any other way (Plate is from LadyStyx).
See also: Those that can't do, teach, and those that can't teach... teach gym.

I can't think straight
Miki P. sent us LESBIAN with this note: I took this photo at Burning Man, which is why everything looks so dusty. Note the correct spelling and complete lack of numbers substituted for letters. This is a California plate too, which makes me wonder how long this lesbian has been around to score that while it was still available.Impressive.

NOBOYZ is from LadyStyx. I think this is probably referring to a family with only female children, but you need to understand that this is the lesbian post, so there it is.
Who will we the catch next with our gaydar?

Redskins Fail
The Washington Redskins are a professional American football team based in the Washington, D.C. area. Jason G. sent us this plate, 4SKINZ which I assume, based on this driver's decorative ribbon and specialty plate that he is, "For the Redskins."
HOWEVER, Sir, your vanity plate reads "foreskins."
Epic FAIL.
