Hmmm my recollection is that it's Vorpal Blade in Jabberwocky... I'm sure I would have gotten it, if the plate was [VRPLBLD] ..

Yeah, that's the ticket!

I agree, I think more people would understand that.

SNKRSNK ? hehe

I'd like to get a vanity plate but can't decide on what it will say.

If memory serves, both "sword" and "blade" were used in the Jabberwocky poem.

Damn, you're right! My dad used to recite this all the time, and he always said "sword."

BLD doesn't work quite as well phonetically, imo... hmmm...

Boy I sure hope that intelligence isn't based on knowledge of "Jabberwocky". If that's the case, all of my 8th graders are smarter than most of you.

Oh, and it's referred to as both "vorpal sword" and "vorpal blade".

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. 'Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!' He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought-- So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought. And as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. 'And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.
