Nice, however depending on the state of residency, either no one will know what the hell Fe is or think he is from Santa Fe. Those who completed at least 2-3 years of HS will get a good chuckle (thank God I got my GED).

I'm not saying you are a poser, I'm just giving you what I think is the definition (since you asked). 10 trips to Kona in 15 years is impressive, definitely indicating a strong willingness to train - congrats.
For the record, I think vanity plates (tri-related or otherwise) are stupid and they relate to the Seven Deadly Sins, with vanity being the worst.
Ranked in order of severity (worst sins listed first) as per Dante's Divine Comedy (in the Purgatorio), the seven deadly sins are:

For the record, I think vanity plates (tri-related or otherwise) are stupid and they relate to the Seven Deadly Sins, with vanity being the worst.
Ranked in order of severity (worst sins listed first) as per Dante's Divine Comedy (in the Purgatorio), the seven deadly sins are:
- pride (vanity) — a desire to be important or attractive to others or excessive love of self (holding self out of proper position toward God or fellows; Dante's definition was "love of self perverted to hatred and contempt for one's neighbor"). In the Latin lists of the Seven Deadly Sins, pride is referred to as superbia.
- envy (jealousy); resentment of others for their possessions (Dante: "Love of one's own good perverted to a desire to deprive other men of theirs"). In the Latin lists of the Seven Deadly Sins, envy is referred to as invidia.
- wrath (anger) — inappropriate (unrighteous) feelings of hatred, revenge or even denial, as well as punitive desires outside of justice (Dante's description was "love of justice perverted to revenge and spite"). In the Latin lists of the Seven Deadly Sins, wrath is referred to as ira.
- others have to work harder
- it is disadvantageous for oneself, because useful work does not get done
- an equilibrium: one does not produce much, but one does not need much either (in Dante's theology, sloth is the "failure to love God with all one's heart, all one's mind, and all one's soul" - specific examples including laziness, cowardice, lack of imagination, complacency, and irresponsibility). In the Latin lists of the Seven Deadly Sins, sloth is referred to as acedia.
- avarice (covetousness, greed) — a desire to possess more than one has need or use for (or, according to Dante, "excessive love of money and power"). In the Latin lists of the Seven Deadly Sins, avarice is referred to as avaritia.
- gluttony — wasting of food, either through overindulgence in food, drink or intoxicants, misplaced desire for food for its sensuality, or withholding food from the needy ("excessive love of pleasure" was Dante's rendering). In the Latin lists of the Seven Deadly Sins, gluttony is referred to as gula.
- lust — unlawful sexual desire, such as desiring sex with a person one is not married to (fornication). (Dante's criterion was "excessive love of others," thereby detracting from the love due God). In the Latin lists of the Seven Deadly Sins, lust is referred to as luxuria.

Which state are you folks in that allow for 8 digits/numerals? Here in CA we can only go 7, and only 6 on some of the themed vanity plates. The problem with some of those listed of course is that you have to explain to the DMV what it means, and on something like "IFNTRI" you might have to get creative (god forbid right?) to tell them it means something it clearly doesn't, although I think a requisite to working at the DMV is that you really have to not care about anything, especially all the people in line O who should be in another line that they won't know existed until they waited for an hour in line O of course.

Monk you asshole you never fail to crack me up. Good thing I'm never drinking when I read your posts. I'm not a big fan of vanity plates (heh that's $36 you could spend on some beers with friends) but if I ever did ULTRAMAN I would think about it. Got a friend who's done it 3 times and he's got ULTRAMN plastered on his Hawaii plates. He's a stud. Wife's an even bigger stud though -- Western States 100 at the age of 56.

I was able to slip RUPNOK past the DMV folks. I'm a urologist, so I ask that question all day long.
