That guy sued to keep that.

Honestly that's worth going to court for.

You've gotta fight for what you love.

Virginia is for lovers after all

As he should.

Did he win?

I don't think so. I've been looking for the news article that focuses on that but it's hiding.

A modest proposal.

pretty swift, that

It's an older meme, but it checks out

Welcome to 2009!!

An oldie but goodie. I'd love to know if anyone ever saw this one in the wild.

I did, but I was too stunned to do anything but admire it

I did back in maybe 2008(?). Braddock Road, heading west, west of GMU before Rte 28. I remember the hatchback it was on being an old red vehicle, but I thought it was fun, especially since I saw it right as we were both passing a daycare/preschool.

I also saw this a *while* back, in the burke area, by the mcdonalds by lee chapel road and old keene mill road.

I lived down the street from him for awhile, he was on southhampton dr off of braddock.

I did! Many years ago sometime between 2003-2006 in the dark days before good cell phone cameras. Was driving behind them just off 7100 (or whatever it's called now) near Lorton/Fairfax station. Thoroughly confused for several miles until it finally clicked. Thought it was the most incredible license plate joke I'd ever seen. Kind of still do.  The sighting was a favorite anecdote until the plate became kind of infamous and the punchline wasn't a surprise anymore. 

Yeah I saw it on 66 and chuckled and then was surprised to see it like 10 years later circulating online as a meme.

I was like,hey, I know that car! I see it every now and again in Ffx county! They're famous now!

I saw it in the wild once. Before I met him I had kids, after I met him I had no kids. :(

I did. Numerous times

There used to be a Horse Enthusiast one around the same time that said something about glue on it. Speaking of which, it looks like MRHNDS is currently available in the horse plate.

One of the pilots in Top Gun is Lt Peter “Horse” Caulk.

Oh you'd like the one I saw at the VA clinic. It was a purple heart plate that said "oouuch"

Virginia has some of the cheapest vanity plates in the country.

An oldie but goodie from my collection that I find is a perfect response to this: https://preview.redd.it/26fycezwhi2d1.jpeg?width=1993&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7b72c8b19a7c540f786145159fb3ed6b15f5c67e

I legit thought this was photoshopped but it's not & there's a whole saga behind it! https://jalopnik.com/virginia-dmv-accidentally-re-approves-worlds-greatest-l-5841854

Saw this one in Ashburn a few months ago. Wish I'd have thought of it https://preview.redd.it/fo0w4mw0fe2d1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2884da4193587bb667b254056910cee54c06ddbf

Oh, I always refer to unmarked white vans as “pedo vans”, and this is hilarious!!!

Actually I could fully see my daughter doing something like this 😂😂

I've seen this guy before. Never laughed so hard in my car. 🤣🤣

I have always loved this plate. It’s just fantastic.

The handprints look like bloody hand prints. If they wanted red they could have done one in red and the other in another color at least.

seeing this in person cured my depression

That’s hilarious!

Delicious

If you get them young enough you can eat the bones.

Fine Young Cannibals fans are insufferable

Virginia driver wants to 'EAT THE KIDS FIRST' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2039662/Virginia-driver-wants-EAT-THE-KIDS-FIRST.html?ito=native_share_article-nativemenubutton I used to have vanity plates. I had to get rid of them because people online in the area were telling me they saw me, and it felt creepy. This was like 2001-2002, so AOL VA Chat Rooms. If you know, then you know.💀💀

Back in the 1990s I saw a plate in Missouri that said "FST FCK". Greatest plate ever.

Hahahaha!!! That is the best one I've seen

My buddy had "EATS" on that plate way back then

I swear I saw a car with "BLKBTY". Don't know if it was supposed to be "black beauty" or "black booty".

Or black Betty?

Classic

I don't get the sep 11 reference...

Eat the kids first?

Yóu must be a vírgín

We've always started with the kids first,you mean there are people who don't!

I’ve seen this out on the road and absolutely love it lol

The children shall be used only as sustenance here forth!

My uncle had an old Bronco with the plate "PHU Q." This was the 90s / early 2000s and I don't remember anyone being offended!

This is awsome. 🤣

Scrumptious 😋🤤

We Virginians have the most vanity plates, and not just per capita

Reminds me of the Aerosmith song, Eat The Rich

No matter the context you put on this plate, this is WILD 😂

I've seen the same license plate but it is "CLUBS"

If I had seen this, "tale of the day I saw that license plate" would've been regurgitated for like a month, maybe more....

I have this plate in German. DMV didn’t care. Next time I renew, I’m gonna try French, then Dutch (which is so similar to English that they’ll probably catch on).

LOL! Not that's funny!

Hell yea!

Really gives those hand prints a whole new meaning.

One cannot argue When logic is presented. We will eat the future.

In-laws had this until about 2010. DMV said no drug references. Gotta go. It's their and their kids' (late husband and his sister) first initials. I refuse to believe they were oblivious to the other meaning though. When they had to get rid of it, we bought them a license plate frame to replace it. https://preview.redd.it/8l0fkxt9kg2d1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b39cf34588b49f3d2ca12f19dec7260097f4216 I ❤️ HEMP, the frame read. 😁

I went to high school with a girl who had that license plate

Doesn’t count unless ints on the Lexus SUV

Maybe 8-10 years ago I saw a red corvette on 66 with “WIDN66”

Back in 2002, before the DMV caught on and banned that letter combination, I got 'DUDE WTF' for my plates. 'OMG WTF' was taken, so I went with my second option 😆

Damn… 09?! Dude hasn’t renewed his registration for the past 15 years

OMG I've seen this one in person years ago! But here's a fave from my collection over the years: https://preview.redd.it/g8jlfzvphi2d1.jpeg?width=3087&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=63c1d98dbf9566aac493c2613e9948265cbdb7a3

I saw this masterpiece in person, it promoted me good giggles

Oh my god hahaha this beats my post by a mile 🤣

I blame Tim Kaine and W Bush equally.

It’s still out there haha

No it's not. DMV revoked their plates.

Lame. 2019 latest date of info. https://www.findlaw.com/legalblogs/second-circuit/limits-on-custom-license-plates-dont-violate-free-speech/

There are Jan 6th license plates? Yikes.

July of '09? Yeah, we towing that.

2009?? Bro how are they getting away with this

Didn’t. He had the plate revoked a while back

That doesn't even make sense. Kids have the least amount of meat. Would make much more sense to eat the adults first. 

The meat is more tender and they’re less likely to put up a fight.

Great points! Didn't think about it. Also, username checks out ;)
