Kinda OT: I finally did it, I ordered personalized Michigan related license plates ... which would you choose?
I live in Columbus (but am a Mich grad) and today I had fun creating available Michigan related plates in Ohio. Below were my final options ... which one would you choose?

This One. (See Avatar)
August 22nd, 2010 at 8:05 PM ^
MGOBLOG (it had to be said, I spend more time here than doing anything else)
I would actually go with M1CHGAN. It would upset a lot more buckeye fans I think.
August 22nd, 2010 at 8:11 PM ^
HAIL 2 MI would stir up more anger/hatred.
August 22nd, 2010 at 8:08 PM ^
an 8, followed by four equal signs and a D
"8====D"
August 22nd, 2010 at 8:25 PM ^
August 22nd, 2010 at 8:09 PM ^
"HAIL 2 MI", but that depends on whether or not the car donning this plate can tolerate a beat-down ... or, I guess, if YOU can tolerate the beat-down of said car.
August 22nd, 2010 at 8:18 PM ^
But I like the paint & windows on my car to stay the way they are. Overrated is subtle enough that a few homers may miss it. Tacopnts seems safish. SpcEmprr?
August 22nd, 2010 at 8:19 PM ^
the overrated one is great. Hopefully nobody messes with your car because of this.
August 22nd, 2010 at 8:22 PM ^
I wouldn't go with anything they wouldn't get like Tacopants. HAIL 2 MI is the one that best advertises U-M, but don't tell your insurance company.
August 22nd, 2010 at 8:24 PM ^
OH O NO is my pick. I hope you're prepared for the consequences though.
August 22nd, 2010 at 11:30 PM ^
+1 to you for the Always Sunny "Nightman" lyrics in your avatar.
August 22nd, 2010 at 8:30 PM ^
I'll give you that much.
I like the two closest to mine: HAIL TO or HAIL TO MI
Mine: (University of Michigan plate)
HAIL 2
But...
VALIANT or MAIZE N - if you want to be subtle.
HAIL 2 MI - if you like to fight.
Good Luck
August 22nd, 2010 at 8:31 PM ^
And install hidden cameras to bust the vandals.
August 22nd, 2010 at 8:38 PM ^
I'd go with Tacopnts, because if I saw you driving with that license plate I'd throw dollar bills into your open driver's side window for being awesome.
August 22nd, 2010 at 8:50 PM ^
Blok M. Some people aren't going to get it, but the ones you want to anger will.
August 22nd, 2010 at 8:52 PM ^
Your car better be "key proof" or a junker. You my friend have brass balls to do this living among the truck drivers in Cbus
August 22nd, 2010 at 8:56 PM ^
TACOPANTS
This achieves a lot of win for you:
First of all, MGoBlog readers (the sort of M fans you want to hang out with) would immediately know you are an M guy but you get to keep your car paint damage free in the heart of darkness.
Second, it's a completely cool reference
August 22nd, 2010 at 8:57 PM ^
The Overrated one made me laugh. +1
August 22nd, 2010 at 10:31 PM ^
August 22nd, 2010 at 9:05 PM ^
Do it.
August 22nd, 2010 at 9:13 PM ^
to be putting that on your car down in those parts; good for you and good luck to you as well as you venture forth in harm's way...
August 22nd, 2010 at 9:15 PM ^
If I ever did it, Michigan U of M plate with YOSTL on it. Because I really want it personalized and Michigan related.
August 22nd, 2010 at 9:19 PM ^
I may be wrong and someone please correct me if I am, but if you get a school specific plate, doesn't some of the money go back to the school? I don't want a dime going to that preschool. If not, I like the overrated one and 2nd pick is Blok M. Good luck!
August 22nd, 2010 at 9:28 PM ^
Hahah, those are priceless. I hope you, for your sakes, you drive a beat-up Gremlin or at least have a really good insurance policy and spare time.
August 22nd, 2010 at 9:29 PM ^
BIG HAUS is dope.
August 22nd, 2010 at 9:51 PM ^
Tacopants for sure
August 22nd, 2010 at 10:01 PM ^
the M1CHGN one with Ohio State under it. I live in Columbus too and it's hell every weekend of college football walking around the town but I would love to have that as my license plate but I would saying something different like BIAKA 313.
August 22nd, 2010 at 10:26 PM ^
I take it "WRST EVR" was taken?
August 22nd, 2010 at 10:32 PM ^
Another one:
Cool idea, man. And very gutsy, indeed!
August 22nd, 2010 at 10:41 PM ^
I think your avatar gives it away (your choice anyway).
August 22nd, 2010 at 10:41 PM ^
if you want an awesome plate and you like to have your car vandalized. Even with guaranteed vandalism, I'd still go with HAIL 2 MI
August 22nd, 2010 at 10:53 PM ^
SHULACE is taken!
August 22nd, 2010 at 10:52 PM ^
I created one that says DESMOND. Classy yet powerful.
August 22nd, 2010 at 10:54 PM ^
"Valiant" is just such a valiant plate in itself man...I'd go with that
August 22nd, 2010 at 11:01 PM ^
There's another good one.
August 23rd, 2010 at 10:10 AM ^
but it should be 'BO V WUDY"
August 23rd, 2010 at 12:52 AM ^
which is where you are posing this query
August 23rd, 2010 at 1:03 AM ^
Fun to mess with, but giving money to OSU is a serious no-no. If Woody couldn't even buy his gas in Michigan, there is no way you should be going out of your way to get an Ohio State plate (Living in Columbus, the amount they get from gas, regualr plates, etc. is unavoidable). If for some reason you feel compelled beyond stopping to go that route though, SUCKS would be the best route (Get it? O SUCKS, OSU CKS, OSUCKS. Don't remember what you call things like that).
I assume you tried MGOBLUE, since that's obvious and straight to the point. You might try that with a 0 for an O or 3 for an E or both if you're interested. Otherwise, I've always liked MGOPLATE. If I ever decide I have more money to put into my license plate than I already do for the block M, then that is probably what I will take, as GOBLUE and its variants were taken last I checked (With the block M plate, anyway. I actually saw the block M plate with GOBLUE on the road when I was on my way to the second playoff CCHA game at MSU this year, and thought about following the guy to give him my number and ask him to let me know if/when he changes plates).
