playtime v

How to play:

I report on a personalized license plate I saw during my commute and you all guess on the kind of car.

Feel free to guess on whatever other details you care to include (this time I am pretty sure of the driver's profession).

This week's plate: OPIN8ED

You saw Dr.Phil on your morning commute?
I'm thinking Dr. Phil drives a brand-spanking new Porsche 911 - white - convertable. He was driving at just above the speedlimit, hair blowing in the wind (notice I used the singular there).

Weinkraut is right!

And the actual identity of the driver is "J" on the "K and J DC Politics Hour" local public radio program.

just fyi:

Miss Kate is guessing that Weinkraut is right.

There has been some confusion that Miss Kate was in the know and now the game was over.

I don't want to comment on the quality of the guesses thus far, but the game ain't over yet.

Definitely a female. Attractive and middle-aged..I agree. Sparky you throw me off with knowing the profession of the driver...so it's your fault if I'm wrong because your comment sent my mind to a panel truck (or SUV)..white...interior decorator...

She's a lobbyist for some environmental protection group. She's driving one of those silverish Honda Hybrids. I think they're hybrids.

Oh, and she's hot.

This sounds suspiciously like a plate my sister would have, so I might've guessed a chemist with blonde highlights working for a cosmetics/pharmaceutical company driving a silver Audi whose husband won salesman of the year selling hot tubs. But since she doesn't live in DC or have that plate...Instead I will say that it is a woman in her early to mid 20's, driving a compact car, who spends her free time blogging for a better world.

Who is the crackhead yelling at?

I think that may just be those people who are living inside your head.

Deep breaths.

So you have to remember this car is being driven somewhere in or around Washington DC. Its clearly a white male republican in his mid fifties. Perfect hair, expensive suit--his jacket is probably neatly folded on the seat next to him or on a hanger in the back so as to not get creased. He probably owns a politcal consulting firm or a polling firm. He's driving a black or silver german import, top of the line and not more than two years old--most likely a BMW or Mercedes. He's also likely on his second marraige and currently slepping with the nanny.

Mr. Sparky!

When do we know who won? There's no consistency in this contest, is there?

Sparky comes and goes...sometimes we get a contest sometimes not.

mb, you want consistency? you'd better go to one of the more sheepish blogs.


j, i was suprised when i noticed that the terror alert thingee actually worked. since you are feeling so safe you should use some of the free time that used to be spent on worrying and play the license plate game
