Vanity Plate for the Day – DIOKO

DIOKODIOKO

This one was on the back of a Chevy mini-van. It also puzzles me a little bit. A Google search revealed possible Biblical/Greek meanings. Given the area I live in that makes sense. Possible Biblical usages would include:

  1. to make to run or flee, put to flight, drive away
  2. to run swiftly in order to catch a person or thing, to run after
  3. to press on: figuratively of one who in a race runs swiftly to reach the goal
  4. to pursue (in a hostile manner) in any way whatever to harass, trouble, molest one
  5. to persecute
  6. to be mistreated, suffer persecution on account of something without the idea of hostility, to run after, follow after: someone metaph., to pursue
  7. to seek after eagerly, earnestly endeavor to acquire

I also found usages referring to athletic training and equipment.

You pick.

Quote for the Day – Tom Waits

Tom_Waits_3“I told them this story:
In the forest, there was a crooked tree and a straight tree. Every day, the straight tree would say to the crooked tree, “Look at me…I’m tall, and I’m straight, and I’m handsome. Look at you…you’re all crooked and bent over. No one wants to look at you.” And they grew up in that forest together. And then one day the loggers came, and they saw the crooked tree and the straight tree, and they said, “Just cut the straight trees and leave the rest.” So the loggers turned all the straight trees into lumber and toothpicks and paper. And the crooked tree is still there, growing stronger and stranger every day.” ” ~ Tom Waits
