How about Happy Hooligan? Or Princeton plates?
And here's some plates that appear to be aimed at appealing to a Princeton University sophisticate.

Off Your Asses, America – Time To Get Your Greek On!
Y'know, I really am jealous of the Greeks – not because of the shape their economy's in, nor because of the corruption of their government and its servility to capital, nor because of the state-imposed "austerity" programs they struggle against. I'm jealous of the Greeks and other Europeans because they haven't forgotten how to fight in the streets – unlike US activists, for whom "direct action" these days means standing around, waving signs or holding candles in front of the White House in the dark.
