Alpo Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Damn good question. If I picked Maximilian the third, I'd use Roman numerals - III. Two Gun Frank or 2 Gun Frank? Hmmm. Probably write it. 6-gun Samurai. Use the digit. So I guess the answer would be - it depends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Foot Johnson Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 I read a story awhile back about a prospector during the Alaska gold rush who filed a claim on a small piece of ground between two claims that weren't staked out correctly. I think it was seven feet wide, IIRC, and he ended up being called "Seven foot [name]" I can't remember the name... but I always thought it would be a good alias. Overthinking it, I started wondering if it would be "7 foot Smith" or "Seven foot Smith". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I'm Forty, sometimes I'm 4T, sometimes I'm 40 Rod, sometimes I'm Hey You!!! My veteran license plate is 4T R0D (yeah, that's a zero not an O) with space for 8 digits. My disabled vet plate has space for 5 and reads 4TRD2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I don't think the state of TN has 'personalized' custom plates for disabled vets. We have 'DV' plates of which some have the U.S. Flag as the background, but I don't think we can get personalized DV plates. We do have DV 'PERM' plates which never have to be renewed nor any registration fees. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tascosa, SASS# 24838 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I have to rely on brands. like 2 bar (2-) or 4 sixes (6666), or lazy 8 (cant do that one). Sometimes brands are written out and sometimes not. again it depends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
