Albert Lea, Minn. -- The vanity plates of Freeborn County Administrator Ron Gabrielsen are going to get a makeover. Gabrielsen said he received a letter Friday from Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services notifying him that he must change the plates on his 1991 Mazda Miata.
The plates read: FOAD1. Among some members of the military and computer users, FOAD stands for "(expletive deleted) off and die."
In September, the state asked Gabrielsen to explain the acronym. He said he told them it stands for "freedom offers America democracy."

Heheheh, good answer, dude, but I guess they didn't go for it...
Free speech continues its death spiral in Minnesota.
Here is one I saw in Florida, "FQROOXX" figure it out. It took me 10 minutes to get the last half.
Welcome to FR.
Please watch your language when you post; we dislike profanity on this board.
No trouble. We all slip up now and again. :-)
Kitty will be watching...welcome to FR.
This guy should have said that it stood for Freeborn Office of the ADministrator, or FOAD1.
He probably has a bad attitude because everyone makes fun of him for driving a Barbie car.
You know, i felt smart until i came here. I can't figure out what that means.
Well...that person is a n00b, and one of his/her first posts was taken out by the Mod...needless to say, the Kitties are on level 1 alert.
Say the first part (Faaah) phonetically, then say "Q".
Oh. yeah, now that I'm fully awake, it does seem obvious. Of course today I feel like the queen of not getting the obvious.
Were you a hall monitor in high school?
Can't say I was...in fact, I was on their "watch" list...they didn't know that I knew, though...
I predict a viking kitty in your near future.
Blame Bush and Diebold.
