re: #274 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

UPDATE on the “Is FBV a Murikan”.

Okay… I’m still mad: but it’s my fault. I have to prove I’m American. Take my birth certificate to the DMV. A couple of years ago I got a ticket and couldn’t find it to pay it, but knew the county would send me a notice, so I didn’t worry about it.

I was sent a notice by the backwards county that was entirely smeared on the carbon and it wasn’t legible. The only thing I could read on it? My name and address. How convenient.

Got a notice from the DMV that I had to pay the fine and the DMV fine to get my license re-instated. Did everything online. Followed the directions and everything was fine.

Didn’t notice that even (though I was doing everything on-line) that I had still have to go to the DMV with this information. Boy, does this suck.

But, in the end? It’s my bad. I knew it was something stupid. Can’t believe it took two years for them to find me.

I’m glad it’s nothing major.

How did they go from ‘outstanding ticket’ to ‘prove citizenship’ though?
