140
30 years of Bort
(i.postimg.cc)
I happened to notice today that the "Itchy and Scratch Land" episode of The Simpsons aired just over 30 years ago (on Oct. 2nd, 1994).
That means that, for a full 3 decades now, I have checked every single gift, souvenir, and tourist shop I've been in for a Bort plate. Its not obsessive and I'm not going out of my way, but if I see a rack of novelty license plates I make a point to look for Bort.
Anyone else, or am I alone in this particular pop culture predilection?
I felt for Bart in this scene. Just once, I'd like to find my own name (Coby). But there are always Cody or Colby plates. Never Coby. My name is just extremely uncommon, I guess.
You should change it to something more common, like Bort.
I too am named Bort
I'm sorry, are you talking to me?
I have a common name. I have been working in a team of twenty and three others had the same name as me. Fully a fifth of the team had the same first name.
The grass is not greener. I feel sorry for the girls with a less common spelling of a common name. They can find Caitlin but not Katelyn
but look at all that cheap chinese electronics junk that's got your name on it.
I have never owned a Coby Electronics device that worked. They're all garbage. I actually bought a radio of theirs once, and the battery compartment was too small to fit the AA batteries it asked for! I had to literally break the plastic case so I could squeeze a couple AAs in there.
