Default Re: Who wants to own up to this vanity plate?

[ QUOTE ]
I live in Kingston, Ontario - medium sized town of about 60k halfway between Toronto and Ottawa - not exactly poker central. The major employers here are the university and six, yes six, prisons (a security level for every felon).

Anyway, on my way home today I pulled up behind a silver sports car with a big spoiler, didn't really have time to get a good look at the car or it's occupants, but the plate caught my eye:
POKRPAYZ (yes, up to 8 letters on ontario vanity plates)
This was in the student ghetto area, so I figure this was probably a student, either someone who runs a raked game out of their house (and likes to advertise the fact), or an online player (given that there aren't a whole lot of casinos around), in which case there is a good chance it might belong to someone here....

Anyone?

All right, first thing's first.

Kingston has 113,000 full time residents. And there are 12 correctional facilities in the Kingston/Frontenac region, if you count Milhaven Maximum (featured in a Tragically Hip song) and the four psychiatric wards. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I used to see that car around last year, with a couple of 20 yo guys in it. I assume one of them won a tournament on party or something and bought it. What a waste.
