an SCA window sticker and the vanity plate "DUN OREO", which nicely
complemented the Dun Or bumpersticker.

Baron Niall McKennett and I have AFPOPA on ours, which stands for "Another
Fine Product of Ponte Alto, one of Ponte Alto's "mottoes." Our neighboring
Baron of Storvik has MORITU on his license plate.
We have found that the Commonwealth of Virginia will produce a special plate
with a imprinted logo for organizations (many college alumni associations
have this done) if presented with a petition of 300 or more names. Efforts
are underway to get a petition to the Commonwealth (we got more than 100
signatures at the first event the petition was brought out) for a SCA/
Atlantia plate.

There's also Countess Leonora Morgana's (DECORUM), and Dorothy's (from
SunDragon in Atenveldt): SAK OZ (she _really_ dislikes her modern name).
And then there's mine (M GILES). It constantly amazes me that words that
are perfectly innocuous at a Society event (It means "Master Giles")
suddenly take on a whole new meaning in the parking lot of a gay bar.
I really prefer the text on my license plate holder:
"WELCOME TO CAID... NOW GET DRESSED."

In California, 'KSCA' belongs to Sir Aethelred the Jute.
When he moved to Calontir, knights were lined up to see who
could get it registered first. Aethelred spoiled it by keeping
his car registered in California.

I've had Virginia tags reading SWRD JCK for about 7 years now. Last I
looked, the Virginia KSCA tag belonged to Sir Kenneqrae of Gilchrest.
There's also a fair pile of SCA-99 tags (VA standard tags are either

I have an "environmental plate" (that's what California calls vanity plates,

I wanted something with a broader scope for my vanity plate and came up with
MDVL AGE. It was really obvious to me what this stood for but it has been a
hoot to watch grown people stare and try to silently mouth what this stands
for. They usually start with something along middle or medical but then can't
figure out the "V" and will finally ask me which then leads into a whole other
discussion :)

When I lived in Virginia, my license place was "L10NESS" (LYONESS was
already taken, alas). (My arms have a lion, and my business is Lyonesse
Designs. It's also an old nickname -- firstly because I'm a Leo, and also
because I tend to fiercely defend those I hold dear.)
It was always amusing when someone would try to read something into the
"1" substituting for the "I" (or "Y") -- one or two folks asked just how
much I loved tennis. :-) (I guess they saw L - 10 - ness <shrug>)
It's way too expensive to get vanity plates up here in NY, so I don't have
them anymore. :(

I had, once, JGOSH, not really medieval looking, or sounding, but it was the first letters of my SCA name.
For the past 12 years I've had: BLKDUKE (not enough letters for the full spelling of black).
Among my travels I look for vanity plates--it keeps me amused and alert, soI've
also seen HORDE; MONGOL; PAGAN1; SWORDS (the guy's name is Swords); ILUVPIKE (in
the Wisconson, Minnesota area)--I'm not sure it had the U as my scrawl on the
piece of paper is faint & illegible these days).
KSCA--he was.
RNDTBL--guy owned a Round Table Pizza.
POKEME--but I'm not sure what they really meant with that one...

A search of the "environmental plate" database reveals 44 plates with the word
Knight on them:

HKNIGHT JKNIGHT KKNIGHT KNIGHT KNIGHTA KNIGHTB

So someone in either Caid or the West does have the license plate KNIGHT.
(You can look up KSCA etc. the same way. www.dmv.ca.gov, "Special interest
license plates" or something like that, then "search the elp database" or
