The whole idea of paying extra for vanity plates is ridiculous to me. But then, the vast majority of people who do it think MY VETTE and VAN GOGH are the pinnacle of wit.
I did once see one that said PINHEAD. That one was worth the money.

The third picture is genius.
I should’ve used that one when my brother rented on my employee account and then returned them late and I refused to pay the late fee because of the principle.
Did you know you can get fired for having a late fee at Blockbuster?
Just another reason I hate him.

I’m curious as to what inspired number three to use an entire tube of lipstick…
* dreams a scenario *
Jocelyn slips on her pink dress, excited for her first date with Dave. She finishes her make-up with a touch up of her favourite “Berry Blast” lipstick and hears the doorbell ring. After a wonderful dinner, the pair decide to cuddle by the fire and watch a rented movie, picked out on the way home.
Two weeks go by and Jocelyn doesn’t hear from Dave. The phone rings. She answers. She hears Dave’s voice on the other end of the line. Her heart skips a beat, and then two. She is momentarily worried for her health, but the feeling passes. “This is Mill Street Video,” Dave drones, “calling to inform you that you have an overdue DVD. Your account will be suspended until it is returned and all fines are paid.” Jocelyn gasps. “Dave?” she asks, tentatively. “And due to this oversight, I am afraid we just aren’t going to work,” Dave replies. “You just aren’t the responsible woman I am looking for.”
Jocelyn sobs and realizes her lipstick will forever be tainted with the memory of this moment.

The thing I like about vanity plates is that they all say the same thing: asshole. Don’t get me wrong, there was a time when I really wanted to get vanity plates but then I turned 12 and had better things to do.

“58MPG” vanity plate in Madison … please let me translate. I know many of you think it is probably just some jerk bragging about how much money he is saving but this is MADISON. What this plate is actually saying is “Hey all you patuli scented, granola eating, UW Madison neo-hippie, dreadlock wearing white girls! I save the planet and my cock isn’t going to suck itself.”

I confess, I would totally get a 58mpg type plate for my Prius if I weren’t so cheap. Apart from anything else there’s a guy in town with a hummer that has a plate saying ’1 mpg’ and I would just love to park next to him. Maybe I should just dummy one up, slap it on next time I get to park next to him, shoot a picture, and then take the fake plate off. Then I could post if all over the internet because I’m just that cool.
OK, I won’t really but you must admit that that first picture would be way funnier with the ’1 mpg’ hummer parked next to it.

I’m guessing that the owner of the first car wanted to take the whole “I’m a better human than you are and don’t you forget it” thing to the next level. The “Oil is murder” and “Al Gore is my homeboy” stickers were just too pedestrian; I mean, any jackass can get one and stick it on their car. So they decide to sink fifty bucks into a vanity plate telling the whole world how awesome a person they are. I mean, what better way to show how better you are than all other humans than to throw money around to prove your point?

I thought my dad was joking a few years back when he said he was going to get vanity plates on his corvette. Sadly, he wasn’t and he couldn’t wait to show me next time I visited. I almost died when I saw “SHOMEDA$” on his license plate. Apparently I didn’t know how much he loved the movie “Jerry Maguire”. He is a major dork but I love him anyway.

I usually find this site very funny but ISuck’s comments regarding the GLBTQ community are very offensive. Yes, I don’t know your story, yes I am a first time poster, oh and yes I do have a sense of humor. What continues to be posted is cruel. If there was a option to report that I could find, I would.

What's So Funny
I love how people who think that striving for new (and, mostly, not so new) ways to turn every single PAN’s comment section into an opportunity to stretch their anal sex joke repertoire have somehow come to the conclusion that their collective “wit” makes them fit to decide what is and is not funny. Heaven forbid anyone not fall in line with the daily dose of “oh, Mishee likes it hard,” or Claw’s ridiculous attempts to be “edgy.” The world gets it, you all think anal rape, spanking, sex toys, etc are HILARIOUS. Really, we all got the idea about, oh, months ago, at least.
The most common thing I hear about PAN.com now is along the lines of “love the notes, the comment section sucks, it’s just the same old group of people trying to impress each other with the same old lame sex jokes.” Believe it or not, there are a host of people out there on the internet having conversations with people that don’t involve the clumsiest innuendo and “hee hee, we’re talking about dirty sex stuff, giggle” ever. They’re called grown ups with real senses of humor who don’t need to rely on that crap to be funny or have a conversation with other people.
And I love how it’s all “oh, Claw doesn’t need us to defend him,” while you proceed to rip apart the person who dared to laugh at him.
And yeah, I didn’t “gigglebrax” my comment right now. I could have wandered up to any of the host of obnoxious posts and clicked “add to this thread,” but there were just too many to choose from. I didn’t want all the other obnoxious posts to feel left out if I chose just one. And, I do admit, it does make me laugh to watch you guys go into “gigglebrax” meltdown status when someone fails to nest their comments. And only you guys would come up with a douchetastic word like “gigglebrax” when a perfectly good word already exists in the English language to describe it–nest. But, if you didn’t have your little “special” ridiculous word, you wouldn’t be able to feel cool and superior to the people who wander onto the site and don’t know what your stupid word means.
I should be nicer though, I’m guessing this board is the only time most of you have ever felt “popular” and you’re trying like crazy to mimic the way the “cool” kids in high school acted.

I’m not a regular poster, but definitely a regular visitor to this site/ comments section… and I tend to find the comments quite entertaining. And I have seen plenty of “disagreeing” without people going crazy and insulting eachother and immediately declaring troll. As a casual reader, I can spot the trolls quite easily, as their posts tend to be insulting on a personal level at the outset as opposed to a debate on a point.
Sure I don’t like every post, but that’s what the little scrolly wheely thing is for on my mouse.. I can move on and find the posts that I find entertaining. I don’t get why people get so freaked out about a comments section, especially when there are new notes and new comment sections almost daily…
Enjoy the PA, and my long boring post

I think this is hilarious, especially so because I’m from Wisconsin, and you can see it on the license plate. Reminded me of the UW-Oshkosh campus but looks like it was taken at Madison.

What's So Funny
I think it’s hilarious that, when someone calls out the “regulars” on their crap, it’s “hey, if you don’t like it, don’t read it,” and “that’s what the little scrolly thing on my mouse is for, just go right past it.” But, how often do the regulars here exercise that restraint when someone posts something not up to their “standards?” So what if you get one of those people who seem to live to post “first!” on a comment section? You don’t like it? Scroll right on by. So what you don’t think someone else’s humor is your thing, or they have a link to something in their post? Yet, the abuse coming from the regulars is considered “humor” and when someone calls them on it? Well, you’re just a whiner who doesn’t understand the internets, bitch!
My favorite may be the “you don’t like us, fine, doesn’t bother us,” and yet, there was an awful lot of posturing following that comment, wasn’t there? Complete with someone referencing “#34″ in another post’s comments section. Good thing it doesn’t bother you guys, I guess.

Gotta agree with mamason: Let’s just get along.
While I agree that the “regulars” do exactly what “What’s So Funny” posted about, I don’t care what the regulars do. I find the clique humorous in their defense of their behavior (denying they do it, or claiming a right to do it but not allowing others to do it) but again, I don’t care. So I laugh at what strikes me funny, and roll my eyes at the bad stuff. And then I go to the next site that I drop by on a daily basis.
Maybe more people should care … less.
So in closing, I’ll reitrerate that I don’t care
as well as mamason’s Rodney King thought: “Can’t we all just get along?”

For the record, I said something like, “stay off the internet” and used the insult “jealous pansy.” Never called anyone bitches. But, hey…if the foo shits, ya know?
Unfortunately for you, WSF, this is “their” backyard, and everyone is invited to play. Unfortunately for you, WSF, you don’t like the game.
My suggestion is to merely find another backyard where everyone likes to play with Barbies and drink tea out of little cups.
You’re not going to change anyone here, but I have a feeling that’s not your intention.
