I remember as a kid going home from Disneyland with a bunch of unused A and B tickets.

IMHO, folks who pay extra for vanity plates are folks who think that the Government doesn't have enough money. So, I'd love seeing what plate Superman runs on his car...

I lived in SoCal from '80 to '89. We went to Disneyland every summer, sometimes twice if we had out of town guests who wanted to go and we'd already went that year. I have never heard the "E ticket" expression.

I didn't get vanity plates because they are usually easier for cops to remember...and they wouldn't let me get WMWMWMW.

I'm old enough to remember E-tickers, but phoenetically, 'tikate' is too much of a stretch, sorry.

I thought the last part of the plate meant "eat Kate", which is kinda funny as long as it's OK with Kate.

I remember an old VW bus with "BONG HIT". Was that you, Thom?

Nah, I've never been into the drug scene, and the link between VW buses and drugs has always bugged me. There have been instances where people equated my bus to a drug ice cream truck, where they would just walk up and ask if I had any _______.

In the 70's I had a perfect VW flatbed. I never see them anymore. It was a great truck. Surprised they don't still make them.

They do still make them in the T4 generation, but don't sell them here.

I have a '61 double cab that will some day get the full body and paint treatment.

I've never seen more VW buses in one place at one time than the 9 Phish concerts I've been to. I've also never seen more drugs in one place at one time.

Moses, was it Falstaff or Balintine Ale that did that? One of them had catch pharses imprinted on the caps. I had a cap that I couldn't figuer out - kept it in the font pocket of my jean jacket for yesr. everyso ofetn I would take it out, light up a red and contemplate the darn thing. I lent my jacket to my brother and he wore than washed it for me - said that he cleaned out the junk from my pockets which included half a dozen half full packs of double mint, a bic lighter and a beer cap. BEER CAP! You threw out the beer cap! This (amoung otherthings) reenforces his belief that I am out of my mind.

try to solve this one,
In sequence it is: A bail of hay, a cup of coffee or tea, a check mark, and eye with a dotted line projecting out, a women wearing a bonnet, the word "That" and a number 1.

I have always thaught I knew the meaning but it didn't really make any sense so I won't share.

This was over 25 years ago - and I still wonder about it. Anyone know a good shrink?

Many regions, many beers. Lucky Lager the most famous puzzles. Same ones in the Northwest with Ranier beer.

I would have had it my pocket for a hundred years and never got it! Was it the French Connection?
