BamBee Does KL

Ever come across personalized car number plates in town? Apart from the obvious boring ones like NAMXXX something or PUTRAJAYA, have you come to see some interesting names on the number plates?


If you drive alot like I do and get caught up in the traffic jams like most of us normal people do, you would spend some time listening to the radio, looking around your immediate neighbor or you will just keep your eyes peeled on the car in front of you?


There was one day, I did see this number plate BamBee XXXX, which I thought, who on earth would want to pay for a personalized number plate that is, in my opinion, horrendous! The instance this name cropped up to me, it made me think of...

Yup, its that lovable creature from Walt Disney's Bambi which I incidentally grew up with long before there were Transformers or Dungeons of Dragons on the television. But, this is not that name that i had in mind, it was something more sinister, more lewd, and it led me to think of this title...


How on earth, now, you will ask me did I remember such titles? Oh, I was the youngest in the family with two older brothers, who were incidentally at a age when hormones rages on, and me, well, I was getting curious.

We don't live in a big house per se, so many things were left unattended especially stacked in cupboards which were never locked those days. It was one of those boring afternoons after school, left to my own free will, I like to rummage my brother's rooms and view many things therein. Magazines such as Playboy or some unnamed British porn magazines lay neatly in one corner hidden with the towels and the blankets. One of those rummaging days, I happen to come across this video cassette (yes VCRs were popular then before the advent of VCDs or DVDs)

And this title, was the first thing that shot into my mind "DEBBIE DOES DALLAS" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bambi_Woods, and I did secretly watched it too. This was my first foray into the birds and bees, hence, I grew up much more faster than my other friends who were never exposed to these. I could tell what a Blow Job was and mind you, it was not about blowing out wind!

Before I digress from my original subject and instead, telling you about my naughty childhood days, allow me to bring you back to my original subject. Yes, the name BamBee on some proton waja car that day brought back sharp images and memories from my past, that I had to blog this out. Just in case, you have never seen a proton waja car, here it is...

Yup, its our "proud" national car above and the Road Tax Dept in choosing this number plate seems to connote a double meaning; could it be possible that this same officials may have been fans of Bambi Woods of Debbie Does Dallas? Anything can happen, and the mere change of spelling does not mean it moves away from its original intentions. Hence, it brings my mind to asks questions if this was what they had in mind when approving the name "BamBee"; some sort of Sexual Revolution going on, that I do not know about?

So, the next time, if you do come across a car number plate with those words above, remember you read it here and how this name came about. It could be just mere speculation, or perhaps it might be true after all. Who knows? Do you?
