Good Ol' Days

Does anyone remember the show Bumper Stumpers. I used to love that game. For those of you not familiar with it, basically the host shows you a personalized license plate and says this might belong to someone at a country club. And he would show a plate that looks like this... 10SNE1
And the contestants would try to figure out what it says. That one says Tennis Anyone.

Here are a couple of others...
B10NOO

and

RUNVS


The first one says Button Nose. The second is Are You Envious.

I remember one night Paymon and I were driving downtown to see Hootie and The Blowfish. We pulled up next to a VW Bug (an old one) with a plate that looked like this...MDYBLS. We couldn't figure it out...Paymon's hysterical guess was Mighty Balls. But after some careful deliberation I corrected him. The bug was blue and I deduced that the plate said Moody Blues.
But I will never forget mighty balls.

Speaking of Hootie and The Blowfish, I remember writing a email a long time ago and telling someone that i liked Hottie and The Blowfish. Don't get me wrong, Darius Rucker is a good looking dude, but hottie. I don't think so.
I love typos. Like when I try to write my friend Bobby, but my brain works faster than my fingers and I end up writing my friend Booby.

Happy Friday!

My very first email to Bobby King was addressed to BOOBY.

Nice way to start a new job.

I also recall sending out a few emails about Boo Talk.
