This would get moved to OT on Pelican or Rennlist, but I think some of you may identify with this.
In my recent travels to Austria, I made it to Braunau am Inn, which is where Hitler was born. They don't advertise that fact too much and so the house was a bit tough to find. Anyway, while there, I stopped by a small pizza joint, a stone's throw away from the infamous birthplace, to have some lunch. While there I noticed several US license plates on the wall along with some old poster ads for Marlboro, Chevy, Corvette, T-Bird, etc. I sort of relished the irony of American pop culture invading the very birthplace of such evil. Then I stuck up a conversation with the owner and he said he had picked up the decorations at flea markets and they had cost some bucks. I know US license plates are pretty popular collector's items in some Euro. countries. So I took a business card from him and said I'd mail him some of my old plates. I felt like it was doing my small part to piss on Hitler's grave and spruce up this guy's shop a bit. Trouble is, when I got home, I could not find my stack of old license plates. I didn't give this guy my business card and so he's not gonna nag me for the stuff. But this was 3 wks. ago and I'd like to get a package off to him soon. So if any of you guys have any old license plates collecting dust in your garage, I'd like to pick them up and send them to this guy. Maybe there'll be a huge outpouring and we can cover all his walls. Anyone? Buehler? Thanks.
