Love this stuff.

I read a book about the history of New Jersey diners and it was one of the most empowering and motivating books I've ever read - it really empowered and motivated me to eat eggs and drink coffee.

What I ended up getting is not very interesting or funny but some good vanity plates that were available and in the running: I PIZZA 84 DUNE ARRAKIS MAUDDIB JAWAS PLANETS CERTAIN and personal fav... ELDERLY
