I always thought that his sponsor should have been Depends.

I'm sorry, but any list that doesn't put "Sultan McDoom" at No. 1 is questionable.  I suspect it might have damaged the coolmeter.

Cheerio!! Any list that doesn't have Basil Smotherman in the top 10 has to be bogus.

You know it's funny.  Nobody who followed racing in Wisconsin ever snickered.  We simply knew he was the greatest we had ever seen.  EVER.

Even though it is an actual last name, if you can't see anything wrong with it, the problem lies with you.   
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

it's his last name!!  so by your logic, if he had a business, he can't put his name on the front?  could he run for office with that name or by your standards, does he have to change it?  or better yet, no, he can't run for office?yes, i get what it could mean and no, there is no problem with me.  no need to personalize this-you could have made your point without the last part, but whatever... ?-(

Because with all those other things,  it would be assumed that Grabher is a name.  On a license plate it would be assumed to be a crude joke.

TAMU put it very well.   Running for office, name above the door, pretty obvious it is their actual name.    A license plate, not so clear.

so if it is "assumed" to be a crude joke by a few, whose problem is it?  see, this is the problem-we live in a society where if you look hard enough, you'll find someone who's offended by the word cat. i'll bet you i could find someone who will interpret cat as obscene and be offended. yes, if it's something obviously crude, vulgar, racist, but grabher?  would boobs, asseater or bigbonr be ok?  i would think not but tell that to new hampshire. by these standards(new hampshires) grabher would be thrown out because it's stupid.  would grabhim be ok?  i think you guys are being overly sensitive or just contrarian

Yes, being offended at things is new to this generation.  Those damn soft millenials again, always ruining the good ol day fun.

Different people have different standards. I'm comfortable with where both New Hampshire and Canada set theirs.

Grabhim  would be different. Men don't have to worry about being grabbed and groped by strangers on a regular basis. Maybe that will change in the future

I saw a vanity plate awhile back in Madison that said, "Lusty 1." I assume it belongs to ZFB.

Another odd one was "UW RINO." Self proclaiming to be a "Republican in name only" seems like an odd choice for a vanity plate but it made me chuckle.  Especially with UW in front of it.

Then there was the time my wife's car was hit in a parking lot. But we caught the hit and run driver because I remembered his vanity license plate. Much easier than if we had to a random combo of letters and numbers.

BTME2IT is the plate on Bo's other car.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
