Free Associating Again...

[Neal]

Saw this license plate on the car in front of me at Macky Burger. My brain immediately supplied the thought: "If at first you don't succeed…" I have got to stop listening to myself.

Cool, good job!
err I don't get it, what's up with your title "free associating again" for?
oh no, you are from Roswell...

 

[Neal]

Albuquerque, actually, but I was close to Roswell today, at the UFO crash site. Upon further consideration, I'm not really helping my case, am I?

 

[TJ2]

Albuquerque is one of my good short weekend trips.

My first thought was 002 = Second Amendment, Try = Try and Take it

Yep. That, and what appears to be bullet hole right in the middle of the plate!

Maybe just a standard issue tag, and someone got lucky?

 

[Drizit]

Driving an altima is too trying?

There must have been a time
when we could have said no.

 

[Chris]

I wouldn't have thought that! Makes sense though.

Well, thinking logically (which I generally make every effort to avoid doing), there are likely to be another 998 plates in this series. In NM they are usually grouped by geographical areas, so I might be seeing more in the future.

I was thinking a standard plate, because it would be unusual for someone to put 002 TRY, for a personalized plate, instead of just 2 TRY.

..... and so Neal, sorry they put words into your mouth.
Back into my original question; What's up with your title "free associating again" for?

It's what I do - connecting something I see with something I remember. I see patterns in everything and my brain just pulls up a random memory and associates it with what I am currently looking at. More often than not it is something that only makes sense to me - I have a whole bunch of extremely obscure (and often highly inappropriate) stuff crammed into my head.
