I saw a car today with licence plates from North Carolina!

[Canadian Socialist]

Not that there's anything wrong with that <heeee>. It's just REALLY far from home (I'm in Calgary). I loved playing licence plate bingo when I was a kid.

1. I saw a car with Cannuck plates the other day

Couldn't tell you what province. Now, I'm in MN so it ain't no thing, but, yeah, I enjoy some LPB now and again.

:hi:

[Canadian Socialist]

3. My money is on

Manitoba. Used to go down to Minnesota all the time when I lived in Winnipeg. MN is Minnesota, right?

[NoSheep]

2. I'm in NC. It would be a great time to visit Canada. It's hot as hell down

here.:nuke:

[Canadian Socialist]

4. Well, first of all

Canada is one freaking big country. Southern Ontario is in the middle of an unseasonably warm spring. However, out west here, it's okay. Went to 18 today. And, praise <insert diety of choice here>, no rain or hail.

[NoSheep]

5. Eighteen!!! I must check some maps now. Geeez.

Where exactly are you?

[Canadian Socialist]

6. 18 Celsius!

I keep forgetting about that. 18 C is about 70 F.

[NoSheep]

14. Oooohhhh. I guess I forgot too!

damned 'ol cultural hegemony.

[Telly Savalas]

15. Southern Ontario has thankfully returned to normal

Some wacko storm system came through (actually bringing a few small tornados) and cooled things down. We're supposed to have regular seasonal temps for the next week at least.

7. I saw California plates

in Puerto Vallarta!

[Canadian Socialist]

9. I'm bracing for the influx

of tourists from the States. The Stampede is in about 2 weeks. Maybe I'll fill up my LPB card!

[Lex]

30. ronnykmarshall . . .

<------ I love this kitty!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

8. I see Canuck plates all the time in the summer. But I'm in New England

so it's not that far for tourists from the Maritimes, Quebec, and Ontario to drive. They like our beaches!

[Jara sang]

10. I saw one from Jalisco, Mexico the other day.

In No. Virginia.

[Left Is Write]

11. I saw Minnesota plates in downtown Boise yesterday.

I can spot 'em from pretty far away.

[Canadian Socialist]

12. I still think I'm going to win this game!

A couple of weeks ago, as I was walking to work, this gorgeous Mercedes was stopped at the light. It was right side drive, with plates from....

Hong Kong!

This rich guy had shipped his freaking car over to Calgary! I'm just bitter because I either have to walk or take the bus.

[Left Is Write]

17. I can't top that.

I've seen Canadian plates here, but it's only about a 15 hour drive from the border. I've seen Hawaiian and Alaskan plates.

Nothing like Hong Kong, though.

[Wapsie B]

13. I'm in Iowa

and I've seen a number of plates from Alaska and Hawaii. Kinda a long drive from Oahu I'd say. ;-)

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

16. For some reason, the plates on the car down the street

from my house beat that... they are Thai diplomat plates.

[Canadian Socialist]

18. But you're in NY NY

where the UN is. So, you lose points for that. I, however, am in Calgary. No embassies or government stuff like that here. Just lots and lots of oil/gas.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

19. Ahhhh, you are not supposed to notice that!

no fair.

[Canadian Socialist]

20. I see all

and know all. Bow to me!

[Mutley]

21. I'm in Maryland

and I see license plates from Quebec regularly.

[Canadian Socialist]

23. Je souviens!

Not many Quebecois come out this way. I wonder why?

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

24. Probably the same reason they don't seem to park

in Brooklyn too often?

[Canadian Socialist]

26. I should have been more precise

when I said out here, I meant western Canada, specifically, Alberta. There seems to be an "anti-French" attitude here. Or at least, the right wing nutters here have amped up the anti-Quebec feelings. I and my friends have nothing against Quebec. But, unfortunately, the rightwingers here seem to be more vocal than the ones who believe "my Canada includes Quebec". You have to be here to really understand the anti-Quebec feelings. I find them appalling. Please forgive my long, and way too convoluted posts. I blame it on the Kokanee super cans. Yes, I'm a leftist and I don't believe in personal responsibility <heeee>.

[Mutley]

25. It's at least once or twice a month that I see one.

:shrug:

[swag]

22. This reminds me.

Rosie and Miss Rayon
They're busy waitin' for her booster
Who just got back from Carolina
She said she didn't like the weather
They're busy waitin' for her sailor
Who says he's just as big as ever
He says he's from Alabama
He wants to know a way to earn a dollar
I'm searchin' for my mainer
I said I couldn't hit it sideways
I couldn't hit it sideways
Oh, just like Sister Ray said

[tarkus]

27. I saw an RI plate today in KY. RI plates are probably my favorite. NM

[SW FL Dem]

28. I'm in Florida

It's a great place to play the license plate game, especially if you want to see plates from the midwest, east or Canada

[Canadian Socialist]

29. Right! Who's with me?

A daily or whatever game of LPB. We can start a thread here in the lounge. Post the "foreign" licence plates you saw that day. It's the summer and people are travelling. It will be fun... trust me. We will have to work out rules. For instance, those living in large centres (NYC for example) get half points. Those in more rural/small areas get 2x points. Plates from outside of NA are 3X points (except for large centres... yes I'm looking at Mr. NY NY). It could be confusing but it also could be a lot of fun. We could add certain bonus points. e.g. you actually talk to the person driving the car and get a story.

Let me know if you want to do this.

[SW FL Dem]

31. The problem is that our tourist season is over

It runs from October through April. These days, most license plates are local.
