1. Arthur A. Ryans begs to differ with you

[cthulu2016]

4. beautiful

[jberryhill]

5. It's probably someone's name

Or Arthur and Anne Ryans.

What racist is going to buy a Japanese car?

[Ian David]

10. The Nazis claimed the Japanese were actually Aryans by way of the imaginary city of Atlantis. n/t

[jberryhill]

20. Ah... well....

I didn't take the second semester of advanced racist studies.

[Ian David]

32. I only know this because it relates to the real reason why the Atlantis myth became popularized. n/t

[cthulu2016]

12. People often have possessive plates

So it may be even more normal, as in A. A. Ryan's

[Fawke Em]

16. This guy:

[jberryhill]

17. Nancy O. Brown is proud of her American Medical Association membership

[coalition_unwilling]

23. I was just about ready to delete my post #3 and apologize and then I saw

how you are stretching ingenuity beyond where nature intended it to go. So I think I'll let my post stand for now.

[jberryhill]

27. Weird things happen

Read this case:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2001/08/06/judge_lambasts_armani_in_domain/

Judge lambasts Armani in domain name ruling

A Canadian artist has won the right to the www.armani.com domain, following a remarkable hearing at arbitrator WIPO.

The case is unusual in that, despite the clothes chain's lawyers insisting the artist had no legitimate right to the domain, a WIPO judge disagreed since the artist's name is Anand Ramnath Mani - shortened simply to A. R. Mani.

[Romulox]

28. Yep. He's got some more "delightful" racial wordplay, below.

[jberryhill]

37. You're right!

Gosh, what could I be thinking.

How about we publish a picture of someone's license plate, spread it all over the internet, and call them a Nazi, when we don't have the first fucking clue why "AARYANS" appears on that license plate.

Oh, and then we'll bitch and moan about intrusive government snooping when we don't have someone's identity to fuck with.

The "NOBAMA" comment is transparently silly to any but those with some kind of cognitive impairment. The point in relation to the OP, however, is that people do have unusual names.

Aaryan is a common Indian surname, but, hey, let's just assume the car belongs to a Nazi.

[Romulox]

22. You're aware of Japan's membership in the Axis, yes?

[coalition_unwilling]

26. Imperial Japan had some racial superiority issues all its own, IIRC - n/t

[Blue_Tires]

6. LOL at that!

Actually, the guy's real name is Aariz Yasin Nafasat-Saad al Din, but he couldn't fit it all on the plate

[Romulox]

2. Now, now. One can drive a scab-made SUV with a racist license plate and still be a "liberal"!

Er, wait, I mean. You'll have to strike one of those things, and then you're golden...

[coalition_unwilling]

3. At least it's not a Mercedes Nazi-Mobile. DU Rules Clarification requested: are

we allowed to advocate for keying of motor vehicles if the vehicle in question is patently offensive?

[jberryhill]

8. so...

Some guy named "Ryan" wanted his name on a vanity plate, but because "Ryan" was taken, he stuck two A's in front of it, and you find that patently offensive.

On what basis do you conclude that the owner of the car has a racist bone in his body?

[Enrique]

9. don't key my car, bro

Raj Aaryan

[Enrique]

7. it could be a name

Google tells me that Aaryan is a surname.

13. Is that the the sequel to "Eat Drink Man Woman"

Or just unusually bad advice?

[jberryhill]

15. I dunno

But the fact that she works in biochemistry blows my mind.

“Nitrogen excretion and defence against ammonia toxicity,” Chew, S. F., et al., in Fish Physiology, vol. 23, The Physiology of Tropical Fishes (ed. A. Val, V. Almedia-Val and D. J. Randall), 2006, New York: Academic Press.

[Enrique]

19. she should be a plumber

"Shit is my middle name!"

[jberryhill]

21. It's actually her first name

In many Asian languages, the last name comes first. So, we would call her Shit Fun Chew.

But, really, anyway you slice it, it comes up peanuts!

[coalition_unwilling]

25. DUzY! - n/t

[Ian David]

33. OMFG! n/t

[nashville_brook]

18. blahaahahhha!

nice.

[coalition_unwilling]

30. Hah! Two DUzYs in a single thread (almost a meta-DUZY :) - n/t

[Swede]

24. I saw a girl working at McDonald's with the nametag NAZI.

Everyone working there was Chinese,freshly in Canada.

[jberryhill]

29. She was probably the McD's on-site corporate rep

[coalition_unwilling]

31. So you DO have a sense of humor after all :) - n/t

[Ian David]

34. She's the one who yells, "Get out! No Big Mac for you! Come back... ONE YEAR!" n/t

[mainer]

14. Poor people probably didn't realize what it would look like when they ordered it

My hubby once ordered a personalized license plate with an obscure combo of letters and numbers indicating his geeky hobby. He didn't realize, until someone later pointed it out, that the combo could also be interpreted as a come-on to men for sex.

Needless to say, he got rid of THAT license plate in a flash.

[Ian David]

35. I want plates that say IB6 UB9 n/t

[cthulu2016]

36. Virginia pulled an ATHEIST plate

because someone saw it and complained that it was offensive. True story.

But the fucking "Choose Life" plates from the state sell like hot-cakes.

But, of course, Virginia is tough on vanity plates... I don't think they'd allow any sensible abbreviation of their own famous "Virginia is for Lovers" motto. I suspect VAG LVR and VRGN LVR would both be blocked.
