Title: SF License Plate
Post by: Leon Kensington on July 08, 2007, 11:09:04 PM: I just got a new car and had a great idea. Why not get a personalized license plate with something really geeky on it.

So far this is what I have came up with:

1IDTIGH
TRCHWD1
VPR 3
TAURI
RPRLCNT
SNDWRM

I got Torchwood, Viper and Sandword - what are the others?

What about USS Reliant (USSRLNT)?

Thx, I got mixed up with RPRLCNT because of the extra R, and I also was expecting spaceships.

I don't watch SG1, so I'm not surprised I missed that. 1 eye'd Tigh is a good one, though I thought it was 1 ID Tigh

ALMNMLRD

Plus, who would get it?

I'm sure he had about forty others he would rather have put on there, but since you can't use profanity, he just used that.
