Hi Di~ ur 8th~
ReplyDeleteMorning Glories!
ReplyDeleteI am wondering why it would be illegal to drive in a housecoat? Is naked preferable? And I guess by 50 you can decide if you are mature enough to marry your cousin.
Hello I totally get the "illegal to detain a homing pigeon law" They carry the mail. Duh!
I guess I better buy chastity belts for my dogs if I ever go to California.
LMAO Thanks Shirley!
OMG!!! Zona is going to prison! Guess which law she broke?!!!~
ReplyDeleteShirley~ that was hilarious~ Thanks for the blog!~
Morning Di, Tina and Bebbi!
ReplyDeleteDianne I need to know does the hotel give you toilet paper or do you have to pay 10.99 for it?
Also if they have an iron in your room you could in a pinch use it to try your hair. imjs :)
Hope you have fun on your trip.
Zona had a donkey in her bathtub?
ReplyDeleteLynnD: LOL at the charge for toilet paper...
ReplyDeleteShirley: I haven't read the blog yet, still sitting here trying to get over not being prettiest again. I am going to have to volunteer to help with putting blogs up to get first..hehe.

ReplyDeleteblip blip
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Hooters!
ReplyDeleteHello you beautiful Ho Miss tina~
Hi Bebbi, Lynn and Di!!
Shirley-couldn't find any crazy laws in Wisconsin, just crazy people?
Good chuckle to start the morning.
Today is my HUGE inspection- I need a valium and a captain & diet and I will be just fine.............
Cross your fingers and get out the bail money!!!!
Good luck Goldie..I am sure you will be fine. :)
ReplyDeleteP..and send.
ReplyDeleteGoldie Good Luck! I know you don't need it but remember you can always blame the liberal media. It seems to work for some people. :)
ReplyDeleteOMG! The timing of this blog is uncanny!!
ReplyDeleteYou won't believe this, but last night, I couldn't sleep. I got up and put on my housecoat and took my pet sloth to the tavern.
After a few drinks, I decided to stop by the bath house to cool off. Imagine my shock as I went out to my car and saw 2 whales mating!
A speeding vehicle (going at least 65mph) without a driver wizzed by and shot at the whales. Luckily they were not hit.
When I finally made it home and let MR. EBJ know about my crazy night, he just looked at me like I am nuts.
I'll bbl, waiting for the dr. to ok me to go home. :)
lmbo EBJ~ lol~
ReplyDeleteTina, no offense, but I think your beauty is getting tedious lol!
ReplyDeleteBebbi,it is hard to beat someone who is aiming for the first "early worm".
She has to take it when she can kwim?
LynnD,Couldn't you "hold it" just a little bit longer to be 1st? That's why they make depends lol!
Goldie, deep breaths girlfriend! You will breeze through inspection! If not I will be the first to donate towards your bail :)
EBJ, very clever ha ha!!
I for one don't mind watching a little doggie mating. It brings back fond memories of.... well never mind ;-)
I am off to clean out the basement. I thought as long as we had to rent a huge container for the patio refuse I may as well get my monies worth!
Have a great day everyone!

ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday Owls.
ReplyDeleteShirley, Thanks for the laugh this morning. Usually when a law is passed it is because something happened and the government, in all its wisdom, is trying to prevent it from happening again. I wonder though, where can you find whales to hunt in Utah?
Tina, up with the birds again. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteOK, I see we have to ante up bail money again for Zona and Goldie.
Lynn, I'm so glad no one caught me with that 7 foot weapon when we met in Seattle (which I concealed on my 5 foot frame). BTW, when I first moved to Sac, we couldn't buy meat on Sunday. I think it had more to do with the butcher's union than an actual law.
EBJ, That car you saw without a driver was really me before my car seat got fixed.
I will never admit to driving while wearing a house coat.
Shirley: LOL at the crazy laws! That was a great blog..

Mary: WTG on getting the plan. My lunch plans were changed so I didn't get to go and work out but I have Zumba tonight and plan to head over an hour earlier to do my elliptical..

ReplyDeleteDianne, I hope you don't drive a black car or you are grounded on Sundays.
:Note to self: Don't move to AZ:
I'm glad I could make you all laugh today. The other night on FB I read where Tina had told Bebbi to write a blog so I came up with this idea blog and sent it to Tina.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments Tina (prettiest again), Bebbi (runner up), Lynn D (want-a-be), Dianne (has your hair dried yet), Goldie (did you wear clean underwear for you inspection?), EBJ (what a wild night you had!), Mary (there was no "putting out" for the making of this blog.) and SacBarb (you are welcome!)
Good morning, HOoters!
ReplyDeleteTina I will say you are prettiest every day if you want, now that I know you are armed to the hilt! I guess that law against detonating a bomb goes right along with not causing a catastrophe. I think everyone should following that law, imho.
Bebbi You just keep getting edged out for first. When I first read your comment about, "If I can't have one..." I thought you were talking about dildos. LMAO!
LynnD I think the answer to your question is that we all look so fetching and desirable in our housecoats that men cannot control themselves and it would cause wrecks. imho lol
Dianne You'd probably be happy with that hotel if you weren't comparing it to the one in Chicago. Thank goodness the Chicago one had a hair dryer because mine croaked on the first day.
Goldie I know your inspection will go great. You'll be able to celebrate later tonight.
EBJ That was hilarious! :D
Mary LOL @ watching doggie mating.
SacBarb ROFLMAO @ not moving to AZ!!!! We better alert Jodi, too. ijs
Shirley What a fun blog today! Thank you! I do understand the animal ones as they are meant to prevent cruelty to animals. I'm pretty sure that the anti whale hunting in Utah is meant as a position of solidarity with outfits like GreenPeace.
I admit to driving my kids to school a couple of times while wearing nightgown, robe and slippers. I was worried the whole time that some cop would find a reason to pull me over and I would be so embarrassed. Fortunately, that never happened.
J/L...yes,that could go for dildos too..haha..Thats funny! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Everyone!!
ReplyDeleteSHIRLEY: Some lawmakers sure have good imaginations..LOL!! Great blog!
TINA: You may be prettiest but I think you set me up..I never did look in that bag you left here last year..maybe it's time I did..I wouldn't want to be arrested for something you left behind. ;) :D
LYNN: Ok..for real..who hasn't put their ass in the bathtub at one time or another? ;)
DIANNE: I'm betting you hate that rat law.. ;)
GOLDIE: Everything is crossed..icy calm..the inspection will go fine! :)
SACBARB: I'm wondering how they would enforce that law..follow the buzzing? :D
MARY: Well I just don't like that anti-in the car one at all.. ;)
EBJ: LOL!! btw..I didn't know you had a pet sloth.. :D
BEBBI: How about prettiest in red? :)
J/LIN: My mom would always tell us that if we didn't behave at school she would come down and get us dressed in slippers, housecoat and with her hair in curlers...we were the best kids, just in case.. ;D
Zona: Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteJ/L, I was just Googling some CA laws and low and behold, did you know it is illegal to molest butterflies in Pacifica?
ReplyDeleteBear, When you are in Palm Springs remember it is illegal to walk a camel down Palm Canyon Drive between the hours of four and six PM. Better stick to mornings. And did you know San Francisco prohibits elephants from strolling down Market Street unless they are on a leash? Is elephant code for something else? It is SF after all!
In Glendale, one may not take a dog on an elevator with him. I guess the dog has to take the stairs or if you are a woman you can take it in the elevator.
In Fresno, no one may annoy a lizard in a city park. So, take it out of the park and annoy it on the street.
In Blythe you are not permitted to wear cowboy boots unless you already own two cows. I guess that's one cow for each boot.
Zona, LMAO I know I've has an ass or two in my bathtub.
ReplyDeleteZona2, I thought you told me that buzzing was from locusts!
Tina, So, in Tremonton it's OK to stop the ambulance to have sex? What about the patient? Maybe they can have a 3-some.

ReplyDelete65
ReplyDelete69
ReplyDeleteIt is illegal to get a 69 on a day that ends in "y"
ReplyDeleteIs that the Owl's nest laws? haha.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone remember the old Blue Laws? Everything was closed on Sundays, so workers had a day of rest and families could be together. Sometimes, in this hectic world I wish we had them again. And there should be a law against department / discount stores being open on Thanksgiving, Easter and Christmas. Let the employees celebrate with their loved ones. Even if you don't celebrate those holidays, what about just having family day? If you can't live without shopping one day, then your issues go far deeper!!! IMHO!

Trenton is obsessed with pickles.

Pickles are not to be consumed on Sundays.
Sea Isle City
There will be no boiling of bones on the property.
Mo, I do remember when almost nothing was open on Sunday. I don't remember it being a big problem. I agree, we should go back to that. It may help keep some stores in business.
ReplyDeleteMo: When I lived in Texas and worked as a manager of a bookstore the Blue Laws were repealed and we started being open on Sunday in the Sharpstown Mall. That was a huge change. Before, you couldn't buy ANYTHING On Sundays..so yes, I do remember the blue laws well and I wish we'd go back to them too.
ReplyDeleteWell, Bebbi sent me e-mail because I've been MIA, so I figured I'd drop in. I see the Chicago 13 are still going strong. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteI found a bunch of "dumb laws", but it turned out they were for entertainment purposes only. I do know that it's illegal to have have a giraffe on L.A. streets without a permit.
A while back I did some work in Nipomo for a show... it aired about a week ago, but I figured if I told anyone and they watched it, I'd get negative comments here. So anyway, my trip to Nipomo was on TV... finally.
I hope you all are doing well, have recovered from your grand travels and are getting back to "real" life. What happened to all the other Owls?
Zona, good thing men can become aroused in public in San Francisco.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine the trouble that law would cause?
MO, I think the whales in Lake Eric are the same ones I saw mating outside the tavern! haha

MOHO - Well thank God for that...I was in countless parades!!
ZONA - I'd check that bag....but I think TINA'S is disguised as her washing machine....ijs ;)
GOLDIE - How did the inspection go? I hope you passed with flying colors!!
Waving a wing at all my HOoters!!
Got to get "prettied" up for work. I'll bbl....before I head down to Illinois. I'm going to LOIS's Mom's memorial.
Good morning!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you back Bonochichi! Yes, I would like to know what Nipomo is too!! :) And, how could you have a show that aired and not emailed me to tell me about it..I am sad and hurt..
Ok, I am over it. :) Now, tell me what it was so I can go and find it! haha
I hope everyone has a good day. I have to go to a luncheon today so I won't be able to work out until tonight. Mary, when do you plan to work out today.. ?
