To whom it may concern, the TN state "BOFH" license plate should be available now. I've had it for 30 years, but i'm not able to drive anymore and the truck died, so I didn't renew it last month.

If there is such a thing as passing the BOFH torch, this is it. I'm sure someone here will thank you for mentioning this!

  I respectfully disagree. This torch isn't passed, it's taken. Shortly after some off-label use of quicklime.

    Have you no swamps nearby? Recycling, and so on.

      > Have you no swamps nearby? Recycling, and so on. I smell "carbon offset fees" on the BOHF's invoices. Good thinking.

        How did I miss your comment? I'd normally claim great minds think alike, but mine clearly isn't!

      TN: Tennessee. No mention of swamps on its wikipedia page. There are three bloody great major rivers mentioned and mountains, so I'm thinking hydro powered cattle prods, weights and a river. You should be able to sell a carbon credit or two on that basis.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reelfoot_Lake https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reelfoot_Lake some of west tn is "false karst" highlands; we got ~10ac to ~1000ac patches of swamp all over. some of them have the fun floaty landscape bits that you can walk on, but not drive a tractor over. eats bulldozers with an amusing plonk sound.

Off-Topic, but drove around for a few months in a TN state “PWNAGE” license plate for the few months I lived there to intern :-) I loved that plate, it looked cool in real life; and I kept it, it’s proudly hanging in my NL office now.

  In about 1998, I was driving down the highway in Mississippi and saw a tag: "UID ZRO". I had a passenger at the time and said hey, I'm going to pass this guy, but tell me if he looks like a Unix admin. Passenger was familiar with the type and said yes, he did.
