URTHEIS

What does that mean? URTHEIS. I saw it on a license plate this morning. Even now, a cup of coffee later, I don’t get it. I like personalized plates that I can understand… and if I can’t understand it I like some directions nearby. Really, it’s about the only time I truly appreciate bumper stickers. UROLGST accompanied by a bumper sticker that says “Peeing is Fun.”

Help me out here people…. What is URTHEIS?

Oooh, I HATE it when I can't figure one out.

I don't know, maybe...

"You are the eyes?"

(It doesn't really make sense, but it's the only thing I could come up with, except for "earthy eyes" or "you are the is", which makes NO sense.)

I was going with "Urt, he is" because, well, one of my son's many personalities is "Urt." Urt likes to play in the dirt & grunt. But then I realized this complete stranger probably did not know the many nicknames of Sweet Boy....

How 'bout "You art, he is"

Aw, hell. This is DRIVING ME CRAZY.

I wonder sometimes if there are a few people who get crazy, nonsensical license plates, just to confuse the rest of us. It's like some sick, twisted little game for them.

Of course, I could be paranoid.

Someone wise once said, "Just because you aren't paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you."

I'm thinking U R the IS. Might be some variation of "you are the (sh)izz. But without the s-h. Yea, that's it. It's a compliment, directed at you, personally.

Hmmm, or like I am that I am..
I am the am, and
U R the is. Very existentialist.

Clearly, I am clueless. (CLULS)

I love it! That's my frineds vehicle (Jeep Cherokee, right?) It stands for Your the eyes, a grateful dead song.

MYSTERY SOLVED.

So I guess technically LadyBug figured it out first.... too bad there wasn't a prize.

Many thanks to "anonymous" for letting me in on the joke.... oh, and tell your friend to at least put a dead head sticker on there somewhere to give me a clue next time....

How funny ...I was going to say U R the EYES, but I had no frame of reference for the DEAD. Snow gone yet?

from Anonymous II, tipped off to your discourse from aforeposted (is that a word?) Anonymous I.

It is truly heart warming to know that the goal of my license plate selection is being reached on a daily basis.

I wanted something that was a part of me but i didnt want it easily figured out. So, I guess its working.

p.s. dead head stickers on cars are easily the #1 reason for police harassment, so, uh... no thanks, i'll remain... yours... truly.....

Can I just say? I am so very proud that I actually figured that one out.

PROUD, dammit.

I am ashamed. I am married to a Deadhead. I'm not ashamed of being married to a Deadhead. I am ashamed that as the wife of a Deadhead, I didn't get that. I should've asked him.
