It's my turn!

I know that I'm supposed to have something to say... preferably something witty. But gosh darn it, I've got nothing. I mean, my life is all about going to school, going home, taking care of the puppy, going back to school, going home, taking care of the puppy, doing homework, taking care of the puppy. And there you have it. My life: not exactly conducive to wittiness. Unless of course I deteriorate into potty humor jokes about my dog. And I'm not quite that far gone.

So in an effort to find humor in my life, I'm submitting to our readership a list of funny/dumb laws that are really on the books:

Alabama

* It is illegal for a driver to be blindfolded while operating a vehicle.
* Dominoes may not be played on Sunday.
* It is illegal to wear a fake mustache that causes laughter in church.

California

* Sunshine is guaranteed to the masses.
* Animals are banned from mating publicly within 1,500 feet of a tavern, school, or place of worship.
* Bathhouses are against the law. [Get the full text of this law.]
* It is a misdemeanor to shoot at any kind of game from a moving vehicle, unless the target is a whale.
* Women may not drive in a house coat.

Florida

* Women may be fined for falling asleep under a hair dryer, as can the salon owner.
* A special law prohibits unmarried women from parachuting on Sunday or she shall risk arrest, fine, and/or jailing.
* If an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle.
* It is illegal to sing in a public place while attired in a swimsuit.
* Men may not be seen publicly in any kind of strapless gown.
* Having sexual relations with a porcupine is illegal.
* It is illegal to skateboard without a license.
* When having sex, only the missionary position is legal.

Kansas

* Prohibits shooting rabbits from a motorboat.

Louisiana

* It is illegal to rob a bank and then shoot at the bank teller with a water pistol.

Indiana

* It is illegal for a liquor store to sell cold soft drinks.
* Liquor stores may not sell milk.

Michigan

* You may not swear in front of women and children in the state of Michigan.

Nebraska

* It is illegal for bar owners to sell beer unless they are simultaneously brewing a kettle of soup.

New York

* A fine of $25 can be levied for flirting. This old law specifically prohibits men from turning around on any city street and looking "at a woman in that way." A second conviction for a crime of this magnitude calls for the violating male to be forced to wear a "pair of horse-blinders" wherever and whenever he goes outside for a stroll.
* It is against the law to throw a ball at someone's head for fun.
* A license must be purchased before hanging clothes on a clothesline.
* The penalty for jumping off a building is death.

North Dakota

* Beer and pretzels can't be served at the same time in any bar or restaurant.
* It is illegal to lie down and fall asleep with your shoes on.

Ohio

* It is illegal to fish for whales on Sunday.
* It is illegal to get a fish drunk.

Pennsylvania

* A person is not eligible to become Governor if he/she has participated in a duel.

Texas

* It is illegal to take more than three sips of beer at a time while standing.
* It is illegal to drive without windshield wipers. You don't need a windshield, but you must have the wipers.
* It is illegal for one to shoot a buffalo from the second story of a hotel.
* It is illegal to milk another person's cow.
* A recently passed anticrime law requires criminals to give their victims 24 hours notice, either orally or in writing, and to explain the nature of the crime to be committed.
* The entire Encyclopedia Britannica is banned in Texas because it contains a formula for making beer at home.

Wisconsin

* You must manually flush all urinals in a building.
* Butter substitutes are not allowed to be served in state prisons.

Don't you all wish that you were in law school now?

I'm not dead!

Ha, ha. Remember me? The other blogger on this supposedly "dueling" blog? Yeah, now it's becoming clear. I really did intend to post on Sunday to make up for my pathetic post from last Friday. And then I didn't. :) And then I was going to post a reponse to Sonja's, like I'm supposed to. But then I didn't. Because I suck. And so now that JB actually reminded me to post, I see that Sonja went ahead and posted again because I was such a giant slacker. Oops. My bad!

But on the bright side, I did survive moving. Without Sonja's help :) Actually, the move went quite smoothly and we were done early. But then JB and I had to drive to Greensboro for my birthday present. Which was a giant pain in the whole "Oh god, I'm so tired and now we have to dress up and drive an hour to see a show" kind of way, but once we got there and the show started, it was Awesome! JB got me tickets to the Dancing With the Stars Live Show -- which is touring around right now, and it was so much fun. Not to mention that I knew one of the guys who danced in part of it - so that was a lot of fun. The only downside was the psychotic group of women sitting directly behind us who were obsessed with Drew Lachey (or however you spell his name) and started shrieking everytime he got anywhere near the stage. Still, fabulous present from my honey. It was SO 5!

My bestest bud Sonja also gave me a fabulous present: of some earrings... that are literally so 5. Well, technically so 6, given there are 3 stars on each earring. But I'm willing to overlook that for the sake of symbolism. I'd post a picture, but, honestly, after the move, i have no idea where my stuff is. I can find my camera, probably, but finding the SD card reader to get it posted to the internets is a whole 'nother issue. So imagine pretty dangling stars :)

In other Skye news, JB and I are all moved in with my brother - fabulous guy that he is, letting us stay with him until we actually decide to stop being freeloaders and move across the country. Maybe someday.

In writing news: There is no writing news. Haven't even thought about writing. I mean, I didn't even get around to writing on my blog! Some day, though, I will. I promise.

I agree that the weather yesterday sort of sucked. The rain was a bummer. It didn't even freeze or anything! But there was a brief glorious instant where I was sitting inside and it was snowing outside and all was well with the world. But then it got all melty. Which was sad. On the plus side, I did convince Bryn that he should stay home from work and play with us in the snow.

Speaking of Bryn, I think we (Sonja and I) need a nickname for him. Given he seems to be our one and only reader :) That obviously merits something.

Alright, I think that's it for now. I swear I'm back on schedule... at least until I go traveling again :) Which isn't for at least a week.

P.S. I think I win for most labels this time!

I just can't do it...

I'm sorry folks. I've got nothing to say. A week's worth of packing an apartment has taken the wit right out of me. Tomorrow I have to get up early and load a uhaul with furniture, so tonight, i'm just going to bed (after running, because Sonja is cruel and makes me do that sort of thing) without leaving a post the way i'm supposed to. See me on Sunday for wit.
