Weird Laws: Part 17


Weird laws of the United States of America.

Rhode Island

No one may bite off another's leg.  What are zombies to do then?

It is considered an offense to throw pickle juice on a trolley. A little unknown fact: Trolleys are allergic to pickle juice.

Any marriage where either of the parties is an idiot or a lunatic is null and void. So many Reality TV Stars can't get married in Rhode Island.

South Carolina

Every adult male must bring a rifle to church on Sunday in order to ward off Indian attacks. Because every Indian hates church.

It is a capital offense to inadvertently kill someone while attempting suicide. Sorry judge, I was trying to hang myself and I accidentally shot Steve in the face.

A person must be eighteen years old to play a pinball machine. Beating the high score earns you a carton of cigarettes. 

South Dakota

It is illegal to lie down and fall asleep in a cheese factory. The mice will take you away and hold you hostage for a block of cheddar.

No horses are allowed into Fountain Inn unless they are wearing pants. How do you figure out a horse's pants size?

If there are more than 5 Native Americans on your property you man shoot them. This law also applies to Snookis, Biebers, and Kardashians. 

Tennessee

Student may not hold hands while at school. That is how cooties get spread around.

It is a crime to share your Netflix password. How else is grandma going to catch up on Breaking Bad?

Giving and receiving oral sex is still prohibited by law. Hence the nickname, The Hand Job State.

Thoughts of an unborn baby


I was thinking the other day as I felt my unborn baby kick, what do they think about inside the womb?

Unborn Baby Thoughts


  • This place is getting cramped, I need to call my real estate agent.
  • You would think after 8 months I would be able to find the light switch?
  • Whoever is singing "Mmm Bop" out there needs to knock it off.
  • When I finally get out of here, I am going to just cry uncontrollably.
  • I am getting sick of leftovers.
  • Ok, who farted?
  • I kick and I kick and it does nothing. 
  • Should I be concerned with the soft spot on top of my head?
  • How many times is she going to watch Titanic? Jack is not going to live this time.
  • I hope my parents aren't Mexican.

A to Z Reflection


This was my first attempt at conquering the A to Z challenge and I made it through til the end. I didn't think I had it in me. I don't know how I found the time around work, school and preparing for a baby. Someone should be proud of me because I know the wife won't be.

Having a theme and planning each letter ahead of time really saved my ass. I would participate next year but I don't know what my theme would be and I wouldn't want to duplicate what I did this year. I am a little disappointed with the drop in comments towards the end of the challenge. I assume most people are burnt out and are trying to get in their last few posts. I am guilty of that as well. I was organized at the beginning but towards the end I was writing my posts the morning of that letter.

I want to give some shout outs to some awesome bloggers:

Alex Cavanaugh for playing the part of Cookie Monster in my 'C' post. He brought the necessary snark. And for also featuring me in one of his posts. I feel so honored. This must be what being knighted by the Queen feels like.

Jewels for playing the part of Rainbow Brite in my 'R' post. Next time I need some sass I'm calling her back.

Hart Johnson for playing the part of the Hamburglar in my 'H' post. She is the best fast food mascot interpreter out there in the blogosphere.

Thank you to all the new followers and commenters and a big thanks to those of you who have stuck around for a few years, you know who you are.

Go check out others on the A to Z Reflection List

Zombie


I can't believe I am actually participating in this challenge. I hope I can make it all the way through. I'm going to need lots of Red Bull. My theme for this challenge is fictional characters including but not limited to cartoons, tv shows, video games, movies, books, etc. Now let's have some fun.

I, PTM, have commandeered the show Inside the Actor's Studio hosted by James Lipton for the A to Z challenge. James is safely being held prisoner until May. He will get plenty of food and water, no need to call the cops. For the month of April, I am renaming his show to Inside the Fictional Character's Studio.




PTM: I want to thank you for being here today and I also want to apologize for the restraints. I hope you understand. You are our guest but you simply can't be trusted.
Zombie: I totally understand. My first instinct when I saw you was to bite into your leg.

PTM: Then I am really glad we strapped you down. For your cooperation and understanding there are a few chickens, a deer and a koala bear in your dressing room.
Zombie: Ooooh, a koala bear. I've never had one of those. How fancy!


PTM: You star as one the zombies on the AMC series The Walking Dead. That must be exciting.
Zombie: I am one of the few real zombies on the show. Most of the zombies are actual actors. There isn't much work for a real zombie. I'm lucky to have gotten the job.


PTM: I was under the impression and I'm sure everyone else was too that zombies couldn't talk.
Zombie: That's what the producers and directors want you to think. For one, zombies are scarier when they don't talk. Second, when they do speak they sound as intelligent as Snooki or Paris Hilton.


PTM: That makes sense. A question I have always wondered: Do zombies poop?
Zombie: Very infrequent. My metabolism is extremely slow so I take a shit maybe once a month.


PTM: If you could eat any celebrity, who and why?
Zombie: John Goodman. Not only would it be a filling meal but I also loved the sitcom Roseanne and the film The Big Lebowski.


PTM: I thought you would of picked someone that you hated. I've always wondered is eating another dude kind of gay?
Zombie: At first it's weird but you get used to it. I save the genital and rectum for last.


PTM: I hope I can get that image out of my head. I just stop thinking about Rosie O'donnell eating twinkies.
Zombie: Do you think a zombie will ever be elected President?


PTM: It would be the shortest presidency. Some gun nut would assassinate that zombie leader real quick like.
Zombie: What if
gunshot echoes through studio and the zombie's head explodes


PTM: Oh shit!! I said shoot him in he gets out of his restraints!!
Terry (the producer): Sorry, he was creeping me out.

PTM: Dammit!! He was my in to get to be an extra on The Walking Dead. No I will never accomplish my dream. Man, the cleaning guy is going to be so pissed tonight.

Yakko


I can't believe I am actually participating in this challenge. I hope I can make it all the way through. I'm going to need lots of Red Bull. My theme for this challenge is fictional characters including but not limited to cartoons, tv shows, video games, movies, books, etc. Now let's have some fun.

PTM: What are you doing with your life since the Animaniacs?
Yakko: I have been a writer for Conan O'brien.
PTM: That sounds awesome. I love Conan.
Yakko: He is pretty likable.
PTM: What can you tell us about Conan that we wouldn't know?
Yakko: When he isn't on camera, he has a German accent.
PTM: Really? That's weird. I always thought he was Irish, go figure. How are Wakko and Dot?
Yakko: Wakko works for a traveling circus, I don't see or talk to him much anymore. Dot is a single mom with 13 kids living in Ohio.
PTM: That sounds pretty rough. Can I ask who the father of the 13 kids are or is it more than one?
Yakko: All from that asshole Kevin Federline.
PTM: What a douche. I hope he pays child support.
Yakko: Dot and Britney Spears fight over who should get more child support.
PTM: Do you have any kids?
Yakko: No kids for me. I was castrated at a young age.
PTM: Umm, okay? Why did that happen?
Yakko: After Wakko was born my mom didn't want anything similar to him in the world.
 PTM: That does make sense. What is the capital of Alabama?
Yakko: That's easy, Yo mama!
PTM: Well that is all the time we have today. Come back tomorrow as we wrap up with this A to Z thingamajig.
