That's so bizarre...I just stumbled onto this thread. I come to the last page, and three of the four posters are friends of mine. COOL!
Hi Gunny, Linda, and Jessie! Happy retirement Gunny, and welcome home Jessie from your deployment
With envy.
I know it's not real original here, but it's different enough to distinguish me from the other Synergys (Not better mind you;
different)
The handle came after the idea for the license plate. But we joined C5 before we managed to get the plate.
For the plate, I wanted something clever. Something that required the reader to think, and then smile and go "I get it".
But I didn't want it so complicated that it left everybody going "huh?"
and then figuring that it must be some inside joke that they were not privy to. I originally wanted it to read WITH N-V. But, there wasn't room on the plate, and we had to drop the hyphen. I get a little irritated when people look at it with their face screwed up in that puzzled look, and then they guess something like "With
Nevada?"
But I've learned to take it all in stride. I now just consider it my filter for the un-imaginative. I'm happy with how many people
do get it right away.
Green with envy...It's just intended as a play on words. Nothing else. No implications. The only thing I have to wonder is if some people take it as something arrogant; as in, we expect people to envy us. Not that I really care what people think of me. But they tend to get a little aggressive on the road, and do stupid things. And sometimes I get the feeling they are doing it because they think in their own little minds that I'm some kind of snob. Oh well. As the saying goes: F**k'em if they can't take a joke!
