Did you know...

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.

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

but keep the criminal penalties for same-sex sodomy.

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.

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.

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:

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.
