255FEET

Yeah, I don't get it, either.

Verdict: 255 feet. Google is no help.

EE OR

In case you're not a Winnie the Pooh fan, this plate honors one of literature's most-loved donkeys. And see, the really funny part is that his tail keeps falling off and his friends have to pin it back on.

At least I think that's the story. It's been a while since I've read any Pooh.

A Gloomy Gus, Eeyore is a cock-eyed pessimist with a Cockney accent. I guess this is two plates in a row with a Cockney theme.

I can only hope I run across some Oliver Twist-themed plates in the future.

Side note: Yes, that's a stuffed Eeyore in the back window.

Verdict: Eeyore.

POOKEE

Oh, so cute. It says Pookee. At least it doesn't say Pookel.

Verdict: Pookee. I don't know what that means.

GB PKRS

I'll never understand putting vanity plates on a minivan. And I'll never understand being a Green Bay Packers fan.

There are no fans in the world worse than Green Bay Packers fans. I say this not as a Minnesota Vikings fan, but as a human being who has to listen to the Carl Gerbschmidts of the world. Win or lose, you can count on Packers fans to be chumbolones.

Please send all hate mail to idontcareaboutyouropinion@cheeseeaters.com.

Verdict: Green Bay Packers... suck.

ELO LUV

This plate is all sorts of awesome. I mean, ELO LUV?

Now, I'll admit that I'm not the biggest ELO fan, but even I can get behind this one.

Electric Light Orchestra was a British rock group from Birmingham, England, that released eleven studio albums between 1971 and 1986 and another album in 2001. ELO was formed to accommodate Roy Wood and Jeff Lynne's desire to create modern rock and pop songs with classical overtones. After Wood's departure following the band's debut record, Lynne wrote and arranged all of the group's original compositions and produced every album.

Despite early singles success in the United Kingdom, the band was initially more successful in the United States, billed as "The English guys with the big fiddles." They soon gained a cult following despite lukewarm reviews back in their native United Kingdom. By the mid-1970s, they had become one of the biggest selling bands in music. From 1972 to 1986, ELO accumulated 27 Top 40 hit singles in both the United Kingdom and the United States. The group also scored 20 Top 20 United Kingdom hit singles, as well as 19 Top 20 hit singles in the United States Billboard charts. The band also holds the record for having the most Billboard Hot 100 Top 40 hits of any band in chart history without ever having a No. 1 single.

ELO collected 19 CRIA, 21 RIAA, and 38 BPI awards, and sold well over 50 million records worldwide, not including singles.

Or maybe they're just trying to say hello, Love. I would prefer ELOGVNR, myself.

Verdict: Hello, Love... in a Cockney accent.

FATTY79

I don't know what this plate means, and I don't care. Today's plate entry is entirely sensationalistic. FATTY79 is a junker of an old Chevy, of note for one reason.

FATTY79 made the newspaper in the investigation of a killing over an iPod. Below is a photo. That is police evidence tape on FATTY79, most likely marking blood splatter. Just out of frame is a body. Read all about it here.

Verdict: Someone fat was born in 1979. Or they like to smoke fatties.

M8KITSO

Oh, so close. In trying to go all Jean-Luc Picard on this plate, the owner mistook 8 for A. Mate kit so just doesn't cut it... unless there's a bridge on this Grand Caravan.

But it's still cooler than my plate.

On a serious note: Why are there so many vanity plates on minivans in this state?

Verdict: Make it so.
