Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think the funniest license plate I've ever seen was a white Volkswagen Rabbit with the plate "ML8 ML8."

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

That? Is brilliant.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The license plate that made me most want to high five the owner was the Toyota Cressida with the plate "TROILUS."

I know, they were probably an insufferable and haughty Lit major, but still. It was Michigan, and I was starved for signs of literacy.

Wow -- how do I get transferred to the universe where Citibank doesn't suck? My experience with them has been nothing but frustration. (Lost money, ignored requests to link accounts, bogus extra fees...the list goes on and on. The only reason I haven't switched to another bank years ago is that I'm incredibly lazy, and nobody else seems to have as many ATMs.)

My friends who drive a Saturn got plates saying Tethys. Ah, science geeks. I miss watching mr. flea and mr. friend argue about why dew happens and stuff.

eta: Thanks for the recs, folks. Not sure what I'm doing yet, but a place Allyson and Matt don't have anything bad to say about must be decent (to them).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Citibank credit cards are a whole nother business from citibank consumer banking, I'm sure.

That is awesome.

And I noticed this morning that EDDIBLE got a brand new truck! Nice that I'm tracking my neighbors' purchases.

And even if you do switch, they'll probably just gobble up that bank in a year or so anyway.

That's true.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I was a Citibank credit card customer for 12 years, but closed that account with a bloody vengeance after they suddenly upped my rate tremendously and wouldn't budge back down on the phone. I have no idea what they were thinking - I have great credit and another company was happy to transfer my balance at an acceptable rate. They are officially A Company With Which I Will Never Do Business Again.

I used to keep a list of the science geek plates here in Nerdlandia, but I've lost track of it. Suffice to say, you can just imagine.
