Andrew spotted this license plate the other day and had Nina e-mail it to me. Really? Bo Bice? On a license plate? Are we being serious here? When I first opened the e-mail, it took me a second to register the picture. And then, my first thought was, "Bo Bice?? Oh S*%#! Does Andrew think I like Bo Bice??? Is that why he thought of me when he saw it??" I immediately felt extremely embarrassed. But he reassured me he did not think I was a Bice fan; he just knows I am sort of a bit obsessed with American Idol and knew I would get a kick out of it. True. Because um, it's Bo Bice. On a license plate.
My second thought after seeing the picture was, "Who on God's Earth would get Bo Bice's name on their vanity plate??" I mean, you have to be a pretty big fan of anything to pay extra money to get it on your license plate, so we're talking super-huge Bo Bice fan here. I wasn't aware there were super-huge Bo Bice fans out there. But clearly I was wrong. There's at least one, and she (or he?) hangs out in the Greater Boston area. And you know she/he was majorly sad when Bice lost American Idol to Carrie Underwood, despite the fact that she/he called in their votes 155 times each night (oh, if only he/she had used the house phone and cell phone! Could have made all the difference).
This has kid of inspired me. When I get a car I might just have to get a license plate with "ElliotYamin" on it. But I think that might be too many letters. Sigh.
That said, American Idol is coming back on Tuesday. Am I excited? Well, let me answer that in two parts. First of all, I wasn't very impressed with last season. The show started to lose its charm and gasp, even bored me a bit. And second of all, the season doesn't really start until like March, after all the lame and horrible (and fake!) auditions. I don't get why so many people LOVE this part of the show. It's so made-up, it pisses me off. But I'm sure I'll be watching American Idol anyway. Because, really? What better do I have to do? So sad, but so true.
P.S. I thought about posting an image of Bo Bice here for effect, but honestly, I can't stand to look at him and really don't want him permanently living in my blog. Ew, that's creepy.
