"Your obsessively bitter solitaire version of the license plate game."
I can't believe no one has picked this line up and snuggled it and fed it pudding and soup and called it George.

It struck entirely too close to home.

But that's its charm!
What's the license plate game? I have a license plate game, which is to work out exactly when California plates moved from writing the word California in all caps to writing it with cursive. So far, 3FIK seems to be the highest plate with asscaps.
I have a long commute.
But that's its charm!
Yes that, but my heart belongs to the Columbine line.
Even after watching Arrested Development and Adult Swim shows and various other boundary pushing efforts, I still watched Action and kept thinking, "They aren't really going to go there are they? They did!"
You're still waiting for a Domincan Face-hat, aren't you?

I've heard tell it's about spotting license plates from different states. So, she who finds the most states wins, I imagine. We never played games on long road trips (and rarely made them), because my one sister and I were too busy hating each other furiously and guarding the invisible line down the middle of the back seat for unauthorized encroachment. This may be why we didn't take many long road trips.
Oh, and we get a long great now.
Nilly! Great to see you, too. I think I posted and ran yesterday.
We went on a lot of long trips when I was a kid. Once, in an undertaking perfectly appropriate to Minearverse, we drove from central Florida to Montreal and back. Even my sister and I can only fight for so long, so we did the license plate game, something which makes you think there can't be anyone left in Ohio, and the animals game, which is counting the number of cows, horses and so on that you see.
Huh. We tried to find license plates from states beginning with a particular letter, working our way through the alphabet.
You have no idea how grateful we were for "Quebec", which showed up reasonably often in the Midwest.
There's also "I spy with my little eye".
