The Vagrant & The Bag Lady

It seems like every second Perth driver is feverishly attempting to make themselves look like a dickhead with a witty number plate, (including Outrage Cohen).  So much so that the genre is just about sucked dry here at The Worst of Perth. These two however have added that extra layer of irony that takes them to the next level. You’ll need to beat this to get another licence plate published. Did he actually mean vagrant? I’m thinking he might just have got the wrong word. Was he trying for drifter? Bum may also have been taken already. Bento has spent months trying to capture this plate. Apparently Mrs Bento doesn’t even bother to roll her eyes anymore when he takes out his camera. Bag Lady is all mine. At least she’s not a fart in a bag lady.

    ….from present participle of vagrer to wander about.

    “one (as a prostitute or drunkard) whose conduct constitutes statutory vagrancy”.

    did you notice if the driver appear to be a hooker or a drunk TLA?

    It’s still dickheadism, but it’s better than those crappy blue custom plates that were all over the city for a while. How many of them used 007 as the numerical section? Just about every one.

    Every time I saw VAGRANT, I was reminded of my favourite Worst tweet, which was something about tradies losing their jobs in the GFC resulting in a surplus of green utes.

    Not worst, just ordinary. The cars need painted on flames, or flags to approach worst. Maybe if the plates included the “state of excitement” slogan.

    I quite like those. (If I was a bogan my ute’s plate would read DGENER8)

    Almost as good as this one, which I saw late last year leaving the apartments across the road from my office.

  15. Bagism is a term which was created by John Lennon and Yoko Ono as part of their extensive peace campaign in the late 1960s. The intent of bagism was to satirize prejudice and stereotyping. Bagism involved literally wearing a bag over one’s entire body. According to John and Yoko, by living in a bag, a person could not be judged by others on the basis of skin color, gender, hair length, attire, age, or any other such attributes. It was presented as a form of total communication.

    Maybe it’s vag rant? The driver could be upset about not being allowed to have Uterus, so he’s gone on a vag rant.

    If I may change the topic for a small moment. I note today Sattler is sticking it to feminists. Apparently they have hairy arm pits and are members of a brigade. After checking under my arms it turns out I have been deluding myself all along.

    Now if you’ll excuse me I have some shirts to iron.
