Do not tell Twisted about this.

It's our little secret.
The California Alumni Association (those sweet people who keep calling you) has received permission from the Department of Motor Vehicles to produce an official State of California Cal License plate. Registration fees for this new plate will benefit fund CAA Alumni Scholarships for Cal students. There's only one catch....they need to secure 5,000 orders for plates before they can get approval. They need your help!
This isn't another Cal license plate holder. This is a Cal license plate:

I can’t help but feel as if posting it on the website that I Co-Manage was an intentionally terrible way of alerting me to the situation.
That said, I still have yet to receive anything resembling a Pesach gift from you.

They should change the script California to the color blue, or gold/yellow.

The proportions for the script cal seem off. Personal pet peeve – bad script Cals

I am not happy.
UCLA already has one:
However, theirs looks lame. I’d like a larger scripted Cal and I do like the yellow/blue as a nice contrast to blue numbers.

If they got one before us, does that mean that their admissions standards are lower.

I don’t like the Bauhaus font in the UCLA identity package. But that’s their style. They probably don’t like our scripted Cal. But the UCLA, the golden bruin and the Bruins text logo on their plate is just too much. The more I look at our proposed plate, the more I like it. Simple. Clean.
FWIW, the transom of my boat has a home port of Berkeley. The Berkeley is done up in UC Berkeley Old Style with fonts straight from the Berkeley Identity site.

yeah, but they've also lost a ton of money on it.
CAA will avoid that mistake.

Have you got any more details? The only story I can find is from 2001. It says that the UCLA plate isn’t that popular. The CAA was looking at this last March. Maybe it’s already dead. I’m just surprised that the alumni associations can’t effectively market these things.

On this note, I saw a woman driving on Hwy 24 near Orinda in a black benz with a license plate that read CAL. The CAL was perfectly centered. I was thinking she was an administrator of some sort.

One Good Thing About Ohio...
…Is that I was free to get personalized plates that read “CAL BRZ”. And every once in a while some other driver honks and waves crazily at me, and I assume he/she is a Cal alum and not just trying to have the sex with me.

What if they are trying to have sex with you?
And what if it is OhioBear, who should be returning here any moment now.

If they want to have the sex with me, they must pass a rigorous testing process: (1) are they a stanfurd, FUCLA, or USuCk alumnus? If so, they should have sex with themselves. (2) are they female? (3) are they alive? And finally, and equally as important as question (1) above, (4) are they already married to me? If the answers are, in order, “hell no”, “yes”, “yes” (“more or less” is acceptable), “damn right, mister, and don’t you forget it” then they get the sex.
If it is OhioBear, then we still HONK and wave at each other because we only see each other 7,492 times a day.

I suggest we have a FanPost pertaining to criterion (1). To give the sex or not the sex, that is the question?
Also, you’ve left off attractiveness.

It is indeed; however, he is still catching up, and worrying about things like “I hope the women can win the Pac-10 tourney” and “Why did Twist kick HydroTech out of CGB?” and “did I ever say anything to offend CalBear81?”

So, you’re thankful the women didn’t win the Pac-10 tourney? Is your name Nestor? Are you a stanfurd spy? I knew the fact that you constantly spelled stanfurd incorrectly was an indication that you cannot be trusted.
