Vanity plates are huge here in New Hampshire. Today my wife and I were driving back from picking up our new laundry room cabinets at Lowes (big day! although we didn't go to Bed Bath & Beyond), when we saw the plate: "BFYMAN" in front of us.
"biffyman?" I asked out loud, then continued, "maybe Boyfriend Yes Man?"
"Maybe his name is Brian Fyman," Mrs Dynamite replied, which for some reason made me laugh absolutely hysterically. Maybe he's a beefy man? Chunky? Driving past him later, that didn't appear to be the case.
Before getting my Subaru Forester, I debated a vanity plate. Dirty Dave suggested JMZRSKY, in homage to Alpha Dog's Jake Mazursky character, masterfully played by Ben Foster. Other quality suggestions included EVHOUND and 2THFELT. In the end, though, I went with a simple moose plate - which costs extra - about the same as a vanity plate, but is a state issued number with a moose logo on it, and the money goes to the conservation fund.
I'll try to keep a log of the good and bad plates I've seen so far ("GLD" on a Saab), but there is a clear winner to date: MOOSNKL on a Jeep 4x4.

Kid,
yeah those NH vanity plates can be annoying, especially when you cannot figure them out. Great Alpha Dog reference, great film.
My old company Mahi Networks was a startup that was going to be HUGE. Founded in 1999 when telecom startups were printing money.
The would reimburse for getting a Vanity Plate that included "MAHI" in it. I was late to the game as I did not fully drink the Koolaid and was 30th employee to get plate.
"MAHI BS"
Now 5 years after the doors closed I am the only one that still has the plate.
They still haven't reimbursed

I grew up in NH and I know a guy who went from high school chess champion and International Master (every few years he would absolutely crush me in a tournament game) to dropout to famous spammer. When AOL sued him he had to give up a gold H2 with the vanity plate CASHOLA. He then became a poker pro and got a new SUV with the vanity plate ACESUP. To me he is the quintessence of everything that makes New Hampshire a great state. When I want to explain to people where I come from I often use his story.
