You get the idea. Since most Nixie tubes can only display
numbers, they'd be mounted upside down so you could use
calculator spelling (e.g., 07734 translates to “hello”, 5318008
translates to… well, you get the idea, again).

Thanks for the explanation, Vernon. But blah on the idea.
Not in a good mood, so just blah. |

So you'd communicate in leetspeak and volapuk? |
|

The word "Nixie" is actually an Americanised spelling
of "Nixi", the Latin equivalent of "Andrew", after the
inventor's son. |

Or, communicate by finding signage with the words you
want, and driving over it such that it becomes entangled in
your rear bumper. |
