As I was driving through the States
I took a glance at license plates.
Some were clever; some were dense
Of some I couldn't make much sense.
I see that fellow boxing fans
Have offered us their license plans.
I like AQLBXR
1MORBX, attracts, for sure.
BXCRZY, need I
Have to tell you why,
Turns my mind to boxing thoughts,
Lovely views and hiding spots.
LUV2BOX is what we feel,
IMBOXIN has a great appeal.
Slick Kitty found, unfortunately,
That in these matters often we
Are thwarted by the DMV.

My trail name also happens to be a nickname given to me, and used, by friends. Before I knew what letterboxing was, I played around on the CA DMV website trying to find out what I could get for my vanity plate. California allows 7 spaces so I first tried "Buffalo."

taken, obviously. So i tried a few derivations of that, none of which were available. My friend was looking over my shoulder and said "well this is obvious! just do Bufalo T" Brillian, I thought. So I typed it in, WITH the space and when the little graphical preview came back it showed
bufalot

BUFALOT! (pronounced buff-a-lot). I thought about it and didn't really want to be associated with the beefcakes that are pumping iron on muscle beach.

I tried getting my trail name for my LP . . . but it was denied by Ca DMV and my money was quickly returned.

Well, that's too bad! That would have been cool!

See, that's the beauty of my trail name.

It fits entirely on a plate with room to spare, though it wouldn't have the kewl capital in the middle . . .
