30 years of Bort (i.postimg.cc)

I happened to notice today that the "Itchy and Scratch Land" episode of The Simpsons aired just over 30 years ago (on Oct. 2nd, 1994).

That means that, for a full 3 decades now, I have checked every single gift, souvenir, and tourist shop I've been in for a Bort plate. Its not obsessive and I'm not going out of my way, but if I see a rack of novelty license plates I make a point to look for Bort.

Anyone else, or am I alone in this particular pop culture predilection?

I felt for Bart in this scene. Just once, I'd like to find my own name (Coby). But there are always Cody or Colby plates. Never Coby. My name is just extremely uncommon, I guess.

You should change it to something more common, like Bort.

I'm sorry, are you talking to me?
