I don't need to grow up and get a life. I'm a gamer. We have lots of lives.

John S. managed to snap a picture of this geeky vanity plate, 1 UP. He writes:

I had to resist the urge to head-butt this truck to see if I would get an extra life.

... As in Super Mario Brothers. From wikipedia I learned: These mushrooms have green caps with white spots (originally orange caps with green spots). When Mario picks up one of these mushrooms, he is given an extra life... In some games, these are called "Ultra Shrooms", which replenish large amounts of health.

Ultra geeky, but I kind of like it.

I would totally get this one if I could. I'm a 36 year old mother of two who just happens to be a Mario junkie.

Oh, do I have the gamer plate for you. E-mailing in 3... 2... 1...

And this one is pretty cute. I give it a pass for creativity... and for making sense.
