Be careful when choosing personalized plates

[cyclonekj]

I saw one that made me chuckle today. Because of the limited number of characters, they omitted the space between two words. The placement of that space, however, is critical to the meaning of the slogan. It read:

HAWKSTD

Choose carefully, my friends.

Herkies?

Rather appropriate, I'd say. And not for their intended meaning, either.

Now, is that supposed to be HAWK STD, HAWKS TD, or HAWK STUD. Hmm...

 

[isucyfan]

I figured out the omitted letters:

HAWKSTUPID

HAWKSTUPID

Not a lot of good press on that one.....

Actually, the plate is in code. The cryptography is a simple letter substitution method popular with the military during WWI. The decoded plate reads "Hawkeye Oedipus Complex".

Are you sure it's not "Messiah Complex"?

Well as we all know from the 2005 game, Herky has herpies... so I think that narrows it down quite a bit

I saw a ISU plate yesterday that said "UNI UI2" ... it was so wishywashy it made my stomach churn, take a stand man! or just get standard plates.

I hate it when people are on the fence like that! Agree, take a stand!:biggrin:

There is one in DSM as well its a hawk plate that says CLNZ 2 or something similar.

At least they chose the right school to give the money to!

There is a Hawkeye plate in Urbandale that says: WHOISCY.

I would rather prop my own team than mention the other.

Cy is the guy that beats you on a regular basis!

 

[HILLCYD]

And that plate my friends pretty much sums up Hawkeye Nation for me.....

I agree. I've seen plates for both schools taking shots at the other. It's rather curious.

Was this on a very large black or yellow pickup truck that is 10 feet off the ground, equipped with bullwhips, mudflaps and a vinyl prosthetic scrotum attached to the trailer hitch?

That reminds me of one of my tailgating buds (who's CF identity shall be protected) that talked about personalized plates back in the day. He wanted them to convey "F'n Cy Fan" as "fncyfan." Of course, we immediately read that as "Fancy Fan." Took a long time for him to live that down:biglaugh:

Someone I work with (in Iowa City) has ISU plates that say SARCASM. I always wanted to put a note on the car thanking them for donating to ISU.
