Did you know...

[Maddy McCall]

that dildos are illegal in Mississippi? And this isn't an archaic law...it just passed the legislature a couple of years ago.

That's my handy fact for the day. Tell me something stupid about the state you live in.

[TroubleMan]

1. That's ironic, considering that they have one of the biggest dildos in the

Senate:

[Maddy McCall]

9. And for Governor.

[Kerrytravelers]

15. And our governor:

:eyes:

[Maddy McCall]

17. Well, I just vomited in my mouth a little.

GRRRROOOSSSS!

[marzipanni]

31. Here ya go, Maddy....

[Fenris]

2. Texas altered its law in 1974 to decriminalize heterosexual sodomy

but keep the criminal penalties for same-sex sodomy.

[Maddy McCall]

10. Well, that makes a lot of sense!

Didn't that law get challenged in the USSC recently? And Texas lost?

I hope I remember that correctly.

:hi:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Here's something really stupid about my state, Minnesota.

Normy "The Weasel" Coleman, one of the most reprehensible tools of the Rove Machine, holds the Senate seat that once was Paul Wellstone's.

[Maddy McCall]

12. That is terrible.

:grr: A travesty. Will y'all elect another Dem congressman in 2006?

[southlandshari]

4. Please, sister....

I grew up proclaiming "at LEAST I'm not from MISSISSIPPI" as if it was lower than the inner circles of Dante's Hell...

And yet...Alabama has so many ridiculous laws regarding sex toys this might as well be the image on our (fucking) state flag:



:banghead:

[RevolutionaryActs]

5. Is that a 'Hello Kitty' vibrator?

:wow: :rofl:

[southlandshari]

7. You have NO idea, sweets....

Look what else Kitty has in her repetoire...



;)

[Maddy McCall]

13. LOL. And I've always proclaimed my Texas native status...

until Bush became governor.

LOVE that pic. :D

[merh]

6. hmmm, psssst

What are the penalties? :freak:




:scared:





And is there a grandfather clause? :freak:

[southlandshari]

8. Points! Points!

Where is that damned...oops.

Good points, darlin'!

;)

[merh]

11. ROFLMAO

:rofl:

Here's some points for you & your post!

[Maddy McCall]

14. LMMFAO!!!

OMG. YOu are too gd funny! :rofl:

[merh]

16. *smooch*

Have you got a link, I want to see who voted for this stinking piece of shit, oops, legislation, and how many women were a part of this.



Do you really think Amy, I once drove a truck, Tuck will obey this one?

Bunch of waste of space those idigits, our law makers. :mad:

[Maddy McCall]

18. And you can't tell a fellow Mississippian to go fuck themselves anymore...

because they have nothing with which to do it!

LOL.

NO, I don't have a link--it happened just a couple of years ago, though.

:hi: :pals:

[merh]

19. What are the key words used to describe this wonderous

piece of shit, oops, I mean legislation?

I need to have an idea as to what to look for on the website. Dildo doesn't appear in any of the titles of bills and neither does sex toys.

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

[Maddy McCall]

21. Here's an article about it.

[merh]

22. thanks

:hi:

[laheina]

24. LoL!

One store owner, anonymous due to a lawsuit, told the Austin Chronicle, “he men writing the laws ‘must have three-inch penises’ to be so concerned about regulating female pleasure.”

Wow! I had no idea.

[merh]

28. Oh good

selling and distributing and exhibiting the "three-dimensional devices" is illegal. It says nuthin about ownership.

[laheina]

20. What was the motivating factor in their passing this law?

Do you know? I'm just curious about their thinking--or lack thereof.

[Maddy McCall]

23. I guess their wives were going to too many "parties."

Here, everyone goes to a toy party at least once in their adult life. Sweet neighborhood women put them on, much like a tupperware party, and invite all of their friends to inspect the goods.

I only went to one, but I was amazed at the people there--even the elementary school principal!!

Women were grabbing up rabbits and bullets like there was no tomorrow! :D

That's the only thing I can think of.

[NMMNG]

They can always use broom handles

:evilgrin:

And the lawmakers can use broom handles that have been whittled to a fine point. :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

[NMMNG]

32. They can always use broom handles

:evilgrin:

And the lawmakers can use broom handles that have been whittled to a fine point. :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

[Mikimouse]

25. Hmmm, guess * won't be visiting Trent Lott after all, too bad...n/t

[maveric]

26. "stupid about my state"? Arnold Shwarzenegger is the Governor!

Very stupid!

[In_The_Wind]

27. During a concert, it is illegal to eat peanuts and walk backwards ...

on the sidewalks. That one was from Greene County.


In Carmel, NY: A man can't go outside while wearing a jacket and pants that do not match.


Here's a few that NYC overlooks:
Women may go topless in public, providing it is not being used as a business.
You may not smoke within 100 feet of the entrance to a public building.
It is illegal for a woman to be on the street wearing "body hugging clothing."
Citizens may not greet each other by "putting one's thumb to the nose and wiggling the fingers".


Right! :wtf:

[mdmc]

29. In NYS, you cant smoke herb in a bar, and that is stupid.

In NYS you also can't smoke cigerettes in a bar. <-that, I don't mind.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

30. In Maryland, it's illegal to have thistles growing in your yard

And you can't have oral sex.

[northofdenali]

33. And in progressive (?) Fairbanks, Alaska -

it's illegal to get a moose drunk.

Now, how you force an 1800 pound wild critter to swill beer, I dunno. Nor do I know if they are cheerful or abusive drunks. And I don't wanna know.

[Spider Jerusalem]

34. So, when are they going to outlaw cucumbers?

And candles with a diameter greater than one inch? And hairbrushes with cylindrical handles? After all, if Mississippi residents who want to use (dildoes? dildi?) can't get them, they may decide to improvise.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

35. I knew Mississippi had a lot of holes to plug, but come on now.

[Syrinx]

36. strippers have to wear "conservative bikinis" in Alabama

That one is working its way through the courts.

Also "devices for the stimulation of human genital organs" are illegal. Yet there is a dildo store about three miles from where I sit.
