--- Quote from: louisev on July 25, 2006, 07:46:58 am ---Wayne has a little Toyota Corona (the little hatchback that was seen just about everywhere in the late 70's and early 1980's, I believe) and the Prestige plate on that car says:
"ISUKCOK"

Do you think the prisoner hammering this out up in Warren would realize what it says?
(Folks, this is a real license plate which the Maine DMV is telling me is available!)
louisev:
Yeah, he does. And he's saying "so do I, bud, so do I."

I was just looking at Leslie's license plates ENNIS and ELLERY, and it occurred to me that on one level, the romance between our heroes has a mystical significance based upon the mirroring of their names, as though they are complimentary parts of the same thing, the inner-directed power of Ennis and the outward and worldly Ellery, together making a combination that complements both of them.

I have always liked the way their names go together. I also like the 4 L's in Ellery's name. I have 4 L's in my name, too, and something about all those lovely L's rolling together off my tongue has always appealed to me.
