There's nothing cooler than a vanity plate on a Honda Civic. No really. That doesn't look redneck at all. Did you get one of those blowers on the muffler to make the car really loud too? hahahahah ;-)
Hey, maybe on the next poll you guys could do something less controversial. Like abortion. LOL
I can't give this up! This is some funny stuff. License plates, certificates, etc. etc. just for a nickname. Hymnt, why didn't I think of that. Guess I will make a Jahooni plate for me self.
TMC- it is not JAHOOOOONI. Only 2 "o"'s!!! so there!

[Image]Back in 1972 in a small village known as Brooklyn, a baby was born that would usher in a new era and change the evolution of mankind as we know it. Well didn't I? Ok, ok, never mind.
My last name in Italian means Mountain Lion. But I morphed it into The Mountain Cat as my stage name. (And isn't Cat easier to spell than Lion?). Actually to be honest I don't know why I choose Cat over Lion. Personal choose I guess. But I do refer The Mountain Cat's origin from the Jerky Boys 1992 first prank phone call album where Tarbash the Egyptian Magician wanted to bring his mountain cat on stage to 'terrorize people' for his magic act (Listen here).
But I have to admit that I have turned The Mountain Cat persona into a bit of an obsession. I recently had my new iPod engraved ‘The Mountain Cat’s iPod’. Also, I did donate $25 to the Mountain Lion Foundation. (They sent me a thank you certificate which I framed). This organization protects these animals from hunters and poachers so they don’t become endangered. And I was really upset when during a game former Mets pitcher Turk Wendell wore a necklace of teeth from a mountain lion he killed in Colorado. That bastard!
But probably my most over the top moment was when I got a vanity license plate when I lived in North Carolina in the 1990s. To fit on the plate, I had to shorten it to 'Mt. Cat'. But unfortunately too many people were reading it as ‘Empty Cat’. [Image]Oh well, I still think it looked cool.

I was wondering how that nickname came to be!
Doc, why do you go by "doc"?
It's probably something painfully obvious, but keep in mind, I'm still a new reader here!

I feel much more complete now that I know Mountain Cat saga. And I love the plates - so hot.

Tink: I would have put 'MNT CAT' on the plate but it doesn't look as good as 'MT. CAT' right?
Leighann: He is 'Doc' because I played 'doctor' with all the girls on the his cul de sac growing up. ;)
Jay: I pimped ride before it was the cool thing to do! Abortion is too soft a topic. ROTFL
Doc: And then I come out with whip!
Real Live Lesbian: That Honda gave me the best years of my life before I had to euthanized it.
Karen: Thanks. Chicks dig mountain cats.

Christine - I had to tell Vince too, way back when... ROFL/ROTFL means Rolling on the floor laughing.

If you all think Mt Cat on a Honda is bad, you should see what my husband put on our MINI VAN!
January 22, 2008 at 11:50 AM
Ummm ... you aren't going to turn into one of those old men who has 97 "mountain" cats living in your house, are you?
January 22, 2008 at 12:22 PM
Christine: What does ROTFLMFAO mean?
Doc: Well Pickled Cat sounds better than Dill Doe doesn't it?
Jahoooooni: Will Jahoooooni fit on a license plate?
Leighann: Does your husband have naked lady mud flaps on the van?
Dana: I do want to buy two kittens, male and female, and name them after my parents. :-)
January 22, 2008 at 12:33 PM
No, but he did ask me if we could have it repainted ORANGE with a rebel flag on top!!
January 22, 2008 at 1:56 PM
I like the name....great evolution. I would have got the license plate correct myself.
Someday I hope to have a vanity plate.
