A sure sign that we've broken out of our middle-class birthright and entered the upper middle class: vanity plates!

Our new vehicle now sports MEEPLES tags, both back and front, proudly advertising our boardgaming background to all and sundry. We call it the Meeplemobile, by the way.

Given the relative obscurity of the term, though, we're not expecting many people to pat us on the back and cry with envy over us beating them to this particular choice.

And to help those who may not even know what a meeple is (a little person-shaped wooden marker used in the Carcassonne game and others of its ilk), we've added a bit of artwork to the spare tire cover to help them out.





Meeples' favorite food: Krispy Kreme doughnuts!
