I’m insanely curious. “Daymate”? All I found on the web was some kind of day-planning software, and this looks more illicit! Does he rent himself out by the day? Or does is he some kind of reverse vampire that cannot go out at night?
Could someone please enlighten a confused Brit – who is that? And can you have whatever you want on your license plates? Here they have letters on, clearly we’re so behind the times?!
@superfran-in some states over here you only need to have your license # on the back plate, leaving the front plate free for bedazzling, whimsy, or Clay Aiken’s picture.
In California, we have to have our license plates in the front and the back. It’s called “The Anti-Whimsicle Fuckery Statute.” Yes, it stifles creativity and personal expression, but it also cuts down on the incidents of road rage caused by people looking in their rear-view mirror.
Sorry America, but that’s a very silly way of doing things, surely… Imagine if you will, someone rear-ends you and does a runner, or perhaps commits a crime and you see them making away in their getaway vehicle…
The police: ‘Did you see the number plate?’
You: ‘No, but they did have a gay celebrity on their car’.
Ok, so I was grumbling against the new french regulations banning personnalised license plates. But now that I’ve seen this, I believe it was a good idea. Even Clay Aiken has arrived on this side of the Atlantic, unfortunately…
look on the bright side…
stuff like this serves as an effective warning that the person behind the wheel has the same judgement, reasoning abilities and taste commonly found in root vegetables, and is best avoided.
I feel bad for the Claymates. Adam Lambert fans have totally usurped their batshit-crazy-obsessed-with-a-gay-American-Idol-alum place in society. Good to know some of them are still hanging in there!
@ superfran. Imagine a Julian Clary license plate in the UK? mwahahaha. Even I would beat them up after a fender bender. Need more US oddities explained? I am an ex-pat of many yrs
PA is one of the few states that doesn’t require a front plate. Having lived in Philly for the past 4 years, I’m completely at a loss as to why that’s the case. It’s not so much that Philly drivers have a lack of knowledge of driving laws as a complete disregard for them.
It can be helpful in odd cases, though. I got hit head-on by a couple of dumb kids a few years ago and the body shop replaced my bumper cover with one from a junkyard car. They left the “Fellowship of Christian Athletes” plate on, and so did I, as an anti-theft device.
Michigan and South Carolina don’t require front plates either…oh and superfran, just to make it interesting some people who have relocated from Britain have their british plate on the front!
wow way more than i thought… almost half..
In the United States, 21 states do not require an official front license plate, these states being Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia and the territories Guam and Puerto Rico. In Nevada, front plates are optional if the vehicle was not designed for a front plate and the manufacturer did not provide an add-on bracket or other means of displaying the front plate. In Canada, 9 of the 13 provinces and territories do not require an official front plate, including the Yukon, the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Québec, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador.
OK, NOW I know why Texas, land of As Little Regulation As Possible, requires both front and back license plates. It’s to prevent people from doing this.

I am SO GLAD that I didn’t recognize the person in the photo, or knew WTF anyone was talking about until someone said the entire name.
20 bucks for an airbrushed license plate will get you “Glaymate” in blue with maybe a sparkle swoosh. Airbrushed portraits that look somewhat better than a stick figure cost slightly more than that.
Clay Aiken really does look like he is made out of clay. If he’s lucky his fame will be as enduring as Gumby’s, but let’s face it that just ain’t gonna happen.
As a native of Pennsylvania, I am ashamed of my state today…first the creepy pregnant tray out of Lancaster and now this request from Stroudsburg…maybe I should be glad I moved.
Oh…..didn’t realize he was gay…so now you think I’m a phobe……sigh. (Please don’t tell my ex-girlfriends) I may be too delicate for this thumbs up/down sort of thing. It reminds me of Jr. High.
I honestly feel really bad for him. He has the hands down absolute freaking creepiest fans I’ve ever seen in my entire life. My mom and I went to a taping of Jimmy Kimmel several years ago on Valentine’s Day because she’s a Los Lonely Boys fan. Clay Aiken was also one of the guests. His creepy fans ordered him EIGHT heart shaped PIZZAS. What in the world is one person going to do with those? There were women my grandma’s age screaming over him and powdering their faces. It was just so gross. You could tell he was like “please help me these people are crazy” when he saw the pizzas. He fake laughed and said “I guess my gf and I are going to have pizza for dinner”, since this was before he was out. Why wouldn’t they donate the money to charity? That license plate is just totally something his weirdo obsessive fans would make. Gross!
i know who this is; not personally. but i have seen this car. i live in maryland. he/she has come to visit our less than fine state. i took a picture, i hope it is still on my phone. if it is i will send it to you.
I’ve actually seen this persons car at a local Wal*Mart. They drive a red saturn and they actually have this Clay Aiken airbrushed on their car. I believe there is a picture of it on People of Walmart.

Oh for heaven’s sake! That’s CLAYMATE, not Daymate. Like a portmanteau of “Clay” and “playmate?” Get it?
November 11, 2010 at 9:39 am
Day or night, I’m pretty sure she’s not Clay’s type.
November 11, 2010 at 9:41 am
I am outraged by the lack of eye sparkle on this plate. >:{
@#1: It’s “Claymate”.

We mustn’t assume it’s a she!

@superfran-not as flabbergasted as I am when I see things like this driving around on the streets. And your zip codes make a lot more sense.
November 11, 2010 at 10:31 am
Oy. The only way this could be any worse is an actual claymation of it. singing.
November 11, 2010 at 10:39 am
This will go so nicely with her ‘I *heart* My [insert yappy small dog breed here]‘ and ‘Honk If You Believe in Angels’ bumper stickers!

it’s a good system. it prevents accidents

@superfran NY is a state where you must have both license plates showing. Not sure how many states have it that you only need one.
November 11, 2010 at 11:12 am
Girlfriend is, like, 5 years too late.
November 11, 2010 at 11:22 am
She wants an airbrushed license plate? Does she drive a 1987 Camaro with T-tops?

#1 @TheSheep “daymate” on the front of your car might get you into situations that probably aren’t legal in most states either.

@greenfuzz: There are 19 states that require only a rear license plate. Although, after seeing this request, they may change their minds.
November 11, 2010 at 11:55 am
Most men would NOT be happy to be rear-ended by that!

The fact that there’s several people who have no idea who that is gives me a little bit more faith in society then I usually have
November 11, 2010 at 1:41 pm
Put Clay Akin on you license plate and you are just begging to get rear-ended

Of COURSE this person is in Stroudsburg. Of COURSE. I bet she wears Winnie-the-Pooh sweatshirts to work, too, even though she’s over 40.
