			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In my new office complex, there are a couple of computer shops, a couple of insurance places, and a couple of dentists.</p>
<p>One dentist&#8217;s name is Susan Stalnaker:</p>
<p><a href="http://932413476.r.lightningbase-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/000_00051.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1077 alignnone" title="000_00051" src="http://932413476.r.lightningbase-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/000_00051.jpg" alt="000_00051" width="300" height="159" /></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve never  met her.  She could be a fantastic dentist.  She does, however, have questionable taste in license plates.</p>
<p>Vanity plates have been something I&#8217;ve never understood.  In ohio, it works out to 8-9 bucks a month to have something adorn your car.  Of course, I&#8217;m not a car guy, so that could be part of the problem.  But like <a href="http://blownmortgage.com/2008/02/07/opt-arm-max-fees-cousin/">Morgan</a>, I got me no patience for vanity plates.  I think they are for idiots.  Something grates on me, and I think &#8220;Old Jags&#8221; when I think license plates.</p>
<p>I see this:</p>
<p><a href="http://932413476.r.lightningbase-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/ssdds.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1078 alignnone" title="ssdds" src="http://932413476.r.lightningbase-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/ssdds-300x167.jpg" alt="ssdds" width="300" height="167" /></a></p>
<p>About every day when I walk to my office (I have the worlds crappiest house, but the worlds best commute).  I dig it. Anyway, what do you think?  I see that plate, and I remember..the actual <a href="http://penguindevil.com/blog/?p=276">SS dentists </a>as being pretty creepy dudes.  AM I nuts&#8230;but my mental image goes right away to this:</p>
<p><a href="http://932413476.r.lightningbase-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/vplatefail.gif"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1079" title="vplatefail" src="http://932413476.r.lightningbase-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/vplatefail.gif" alt="vplatefail" width="300" height="168" /></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;m thinking marathon man all the way:</p>
<p><a href="http://932413476.r.lightningbase-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/marathonman2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1080" title="marathonman2" src="http://932413476.r.lightningbase-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/marathonman2-300x170.jpg" alt="marathonman2" width="300" height="170" /></a></p>
<p>So, what&#8217;s a BETTER license plate for Dr. Stalnaker?  How can she convey things without bringing back memories of John Wayne and the Luftwaffe?  I&#8217;m guessing that&#8211;given the choice between &#8220;SS DDS&#8221; and &#8220;GHX-B49J&#8221;  I&#8217;m taking the second one.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the real question though.  What is your marketing ACCIDENTALLY saying about you?  How could people construe it?</p>
<p>My guess is that this post will soon rank #1 for Susan Stalnaker, Dentist.  She&#8217;s not taken care of her online reputation.  Here&#8217;s her<a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=Susan+Stalnaker&amp;sourceid=navclient-ff&amp;rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS290US293&amp;ie=UTF-8"> google search.</a></p>
