As we face the extended Independence Day weekend, many of you will be hitting the road to do something fun. That makes this the perfect time to share a little game that my brother and I have been playing during our commute to work and back each day.

You’re probably familar with a few travel games: Slug Bug, I Spy, Concentration, The Alphabet Game, Out-of-State Plates… Well I’ve got one to add to the mix. Of course, I suppose it’s dependent on which state you’re from and how their sequentials work.

Here in California, ours go like this: #-A-A-A-#-#-#. Our game takes the alpha characters and builds from there. The more you dislike the driver of the vehicle bearing the plates, the more fun the game becomes… It’s a great way to prevent road rage.

It all started with personalized plates owned by our office nemesis. One day as we exited the building and saw them, we theorized about what the letters might stand for. After a few tries, one came out the best: Hold My Little Penis.

After that, we started making up hilarious phrases for every car we saw, trying to make them as outrageous as possible. As soon as you come up with one that makes Diet Coke spew from your nose, advance to the next set of plates and award one point to its creator.

Here are a few sequential plates to get you started. Take the three letters and use them to come up with a descriptive phrase about the driver and their secret habits. Let’s see what you come up with…

My brother, reigning champion of this game (though he may have an unfair advantage, he’s a former sailor), offers the following: SND = Shit Nugget Delicacy, KRF = Killer Rectal Fart, CLV = Cum-Laced Vagina, and BMO = Boy Masturbating Outside. Think you can top that?
