    That reminds me of the guy that added code next to his license plate and would crash traffic cameras that way.

      Is this the dude in California that got “null” as a license plate and ended up getting all the fines for which California couldn’t determine whose car it was that ran the red light?

          “Contest them all easily” -> go to court twice a week and wait in line for an hour to get them waived forever in the off chance that you get a real ticket which only happens to most people once every couple of years.

            you are missing the point, now he can always run at 300km/h

              “Oh look at that car going 300km/h, guess I can arrest him on the spot now and since this is so serious, I should actually go to court and testify to make sure this guy doesn’t get away with it. And since his license plate says “Null”, we can charge him for intent to commit a crime in addition to the crime, he’ll spend some substantial time in jail for this” - the cop about to pull you over

          So you could probably contest them all easily.

          Actually from what I read he was pretty screwed as the tickets were not turned over by the judge.

    Student names that really exist in my local area: “L-A” (pronounced “Elldashah”) and Hazmat (shortened to Mat). Not had a Bobby Tables yet, but getting that dash into Eldashahs name was a difficult task, I am told.

      I’ve heard so many claims of Ladasha and Elldasha, along with reports of Lamonjalo and Orangelo. I’d expect them to be more prevalent with so many people reporting they know one.

      I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there is no evidence that anybody has ever named a child la-a. My mom used to tell this story all the time, and I believed her for years that this was a real name until I googled it and read up on it. The name is an old urban legend that may pre date Internet lore.

        How odd you think that. She was on my roll call for a term (high school). I am not going to tell you which school, as doxing a student is wrong, so I guess Elle is going to have to remain a myth for you.

          So I guess the YouTube video that came out debunking the name “L - A” preceded the birth of the real actual L-A who you met.

          I’m not doubting you. I don’t know you. I’m just saying there’s a YouTube video that debunked any existence of a person with such a name at the time the video was made.

            One commenter always tells the truth, the other always lies.

            Quick, which way is up?

    There is a professional ski athlete, Canadian I think, called Nullmeyer, I always think of “little bobby tables” when I see her, but seems like ski tv and databases were made by people that sanitize the inputs
