Thanks for reminding me that in a few weeks, I will have to get an Alabama tag for our 2 cars.

Geof: You’ve got it.

Bishop: I didn’t know about the tag until I looked at a drop-down list of all tags. “Atomic Nuked,” since it began with an “A”, was near the top. “Surely that can’t be what I think it is,” I muttered.

Back when I first read about this particular ghoulish tag, the part that struck me most was that the most sensitive way they could come up with to refer to soldiers who had been exposed to radioactive fallout (much of it by our own country and our ill-conceived tactical-nuke tests, natch) was as “Atomic Nuked Vet”s. There’s something about that phrase, “Atomic Nuked” which seems like it’d be happier in a campy sci-fi movie than as an honor for those who suffered grievous injury in the service of their country.

Presumably you will wait to tell us about your personalized plate until you have it on the car?
