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 have never owned a Coby Electronics device that worked. They’re all garbage. I actually bought a radio of theirs once, and the battery compartment was too small to fit the AA batteries it asked for! I had to literally break the plastic case so I could squeeze a couple AAs in there.
