Now, onto the good stuff. This post is a follow up to a post from a few weeks back called, "Nevada, why are you so vain?" (Hence the title...come on, sing it with me!)
I think I might be a little loopy from the paint fumes. You'll have to bear with me. You see, I decided that now would be a good time to remodel my laundry room. Perhaps I really have been going through withdrawals since I'm no longer party planning.
For the paint in the laundry room, I went with a color called "perfect taupe." But the longer I spent in that tiny room painting, the more I started thinking that if you're going to declare a color to be the perfect shade of taupe, you really ought to call it "U-taupe-ia."
Get it? Where's my 17-month old to crack up at my corny jokes when I need him...
Sleeping, that's where he is. Which is where I should be, so I'm going to stop talking and get on with the vanity license plates. I'll catch you on the flip side! And by flip side I mean tomorrow...not the afterlife. Just so we're clear.

| Well, I suppose you do. |

| See, now some people do know how to be clever... |

| I can't think of anything classier, actually. |

| Just goes to show that no matter what regulations the Nevada DMV puts in place, people will still find ways to have X-rated license plates. |

You've probably seen the handicapped plates saying "TIMMAY" a-la-funny South Park Reference. I've seen those in Idaho, Utah, and Montana. Never fails, I always laugh my ass off.
ReplyDeletecongrats on the blogger idol!
ReplyDeletealso, those vanity plates are hilarious.
Don't worry, I giggled at U-taupe-ia.
ReplyDeleteAwesome you're in the top two for blogger idol, gonna go vote right now.
I also laughed at U-toupe-ia.
ReplyDeleteCourse I'm blaming it on the paint fumes that I am also inhaling. But mine are in the perfect shade of gray...
I TOTALLY laughed at the U-taupe-ia joke! I didn't realize you were collecting vanity plate pictures....now when I set off to go anywhere I will have my camera ready. Seems like we've got plenty around here.
ReplyDeleteMy husband only wants to paint everything for sale white. I thought his head was going to explode when I painted an accent wall.
ReplyDeleteWhat is Taupe anyway? It sounds like a cool color. It's nothing like mauve is it?
ReplyDeleteHow about NE1469?
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting into the top TWO! That is incredible!! I can't wait to see the final show down. Also - u-taupe-ia? Ba ha ha ha ha haaa! Well-played, Mama, well-played. Loving those license plates and I was totes singing along with you! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove it! I had an old beat-up Camry that was being held together in several places by duct tape. I had a vanity plate that said "CAM ROCK". Still have it somewhere, but not the car!
ReplyDeleteSarah @ made in usa challenge
@MJ: I am lucky enough to see these and more every day!
ReplyDelete@Lost: Lol! That's pretty funny.
@Timothy: Thanks for your support!
@Kyran: Glad it wasn't THAT lame a joke.
@Julianna: I love gray. Good choice!
@Gigi: send them my way!!
@Tuna: Yeah...that's a smart way to go. But I love me some color!
@Daddy's in Charge: It is a cool color. Kind of a tannish/brownish/gray. But no, nothing like mauve. Except the au.
@Scot Lass: Oh man! That took me a minute, but when I got it, I totally cracked up!
@Crystal: Thank you! Maybe someday I'll vlog. Then you can actually hear me sing (scary!)
@Sarah: That's awesome! I love it.
Now that Blogger Idol is over you can have a new career in making up paint names! Because honestly, I would totally buy paint named U-taupe-ia just because that is frickin funny!
