    If you didn't know, there were only 2 diamond mines in the entirety of the US, one in Colorado and one in Arkansas. The Crater of Diamonds mine in Arkansas is now a state park and the public is free to dig for gems and diamonds there, one of if not the only place in the world to do so! Its a neat little fact about Arkansas and it's the reason we have a diamond on our licence plate and our state gemstone in the diamond.

    Great work, boys! This video reminds me of the year I spent with Dignan travelling across all 50 states while running from the police due to numerous outstanding warrants for arrest for tax fraud, cockfighting, and arson.
    After 11 months on the lam, Dignan got nabbed at a cash & carry in Schenectady, NY and turned me in. I’ve spent the last 26 years as an inmate at Rikers Island making license plates. I miss Dignan.

    Also fun fact: we get more license plate designs than any state in the country. We replace them every couple of years. Somehow they all have managed to suck. This is our least terrible one IMO bc it’s not camo again & there’s a masturbating fella on it.

    I think it’s funny how much you guys liked the Louisiana one on first sight because when they rolled it out it got so much hate. I remember there being an article in the newspaper about how bad the design was and a lot of people didn’t turn in their old plates so they could keep the old design on their cars. Also in response to what can you hunt in Louisiana the answer is whatever you’re willing to eat. Most people do deer or ducks but you can also hunt game birds like quail and turkey. People go frogging (which is sort of fishing and hunting together) we also have wild boar. Also people hunt small game like raccoons and squirrels pretty frequently.

    A few simple rules for license plate designs:
    1. Text needs to remain readable regardless of the background colors.
    2. URLs are a sin. Tourism slogans are usually cringe.
    3. Asymmetrical license number placement is a sin. Never put a graphic on one side offsetting the text. If you put a graphic in the middle, put equal amounts of characters on each side.
    4. NEW JERSEY PISS YELLOW FOR A PISS STATE!
