INANITY PLATES: According to Deadspin, the great state of Michigan accidentally awarded two different people the coveted vanity license plate "WLVRNE." I'm confused -- is "with Laverne" slang for "lesbian"?

    A lot of X-men fans there?

    Maybe they just really like the movie Red Dawn.

    Yes, Isaac, I think "with Laverne" is the lesbian equivalent of "Friend of Dorothy".

  4. As Isaac and I have previously discussed, the Laverne character <span>was supposed to be tight-sweater-loose-woman hot, at least as originally conceived.  But then her brother cast Penny instead.</span>

    I kind of love this post. I've shown it to two separate Ann Arborite-colleagues, and both of them shouted something like "IT'STHEMASCOTSTUPIDARRGGGHHH".  Which allowed me to follow up with, "Oh, that's right. It's been so long since I've seen them play a meaningful game that I forgot."

    Sorry.  Duke winning left me with a big schadenfreude deficit, and so I've haved to manufacture it elsewhere.

    Joseph, that comment says...something...about you.  Not sure what.  Not sure I want to know what.

    What?  Laverne was the hot one on that show, Shirley was the cute one.
