Funny Idaho Laws (and I'm gonna break some)

I have seen other bloggers making posts of funny laws in their state, but I'm going to up the ante a little.

I'm going to break one of these laws this weekend.  And you're going to help me choose which one.

Here are a list of absurd laws found in Idaho:

- You may not fish on a camel’s back.

- Boise, ID:  Residents may not fish from a giraffe’s back.

- If a police officer approaches a vehicle and suspects that the occupants are engaging in sex, he must either honk, or flash his lights and wait for three minutes before approaching the car.

- Bicycles are not allowed in the tennis courts.

- Pocatello, ID:  A person may not be seen in public without a smile on their face.  (“It is prohibited for pedestrians and motorists to display frowns, grimaces, scowls, threatening and glowering looks, gloomy and depressed facial appearances, generally all of which reflect unfavorably upon the city’s reputation.”)

- Riding a merry-go-round on Sundays is considered a crime.

- A boy may only court a girl after obtaining written permission from her father.

- Children up to the age of 14 must have a certificate signed by their parents to testify that they regularly brush their teeth.

- Idaho Falls: It is illegal for anyone over the age of eighty-eight to ride a motorcycle. 

- You are not allowed to sleep in a dog kennel. (unless you are a dog)

- You can't buy or sell chickens after sundown without the sheriff's permission.

- Non-married couples in Idaho who engage in sexual intercourse can be jailed for up to six months.

- It is Illegal for a man to give his sweetheart a box of candy weighing less than fifty pounds.

To vote, leave a comment telling me which law you want to see me break.  I'm not over 88, so I can't do the motorcycle one.  And I'm not a police officer, so I can't do the sex one.  But you get the idea.  Vote for your favorite, and I'll post the results on Sunday.

I don't need to build a doghouse anymore, but I could start on a trophy case...

I'm sorry to report that Miles is back to Niles, and has been returned to the shelter.

The problem?  Our cats.

My girlfriend and I each have a cat.  One has been around dogs before (hers) and one has not (mine).  When we brought Miles home, we thought it would be a few days before things would settle down and everyone would get along.

WRONG.

Gf's cat (also known as the big fat bitch) hissed and lunged at Miles on a regular basis.  They got into a pretty intense fight, and I'm surprised the cat walked away unharmed.  My cat Weeble was so terrified of the dog she'd visibly shake.  She also was peeing all over everything in protest.

I finally took Miles back to the shelter and they said "Oh, you have cats?  Um, yeah... he doesn't like cats.  His last owner, he put the guy's landlord's cat into the vet.  Cat needed stitches.

Heh, thanks for warning us.

So no more Miles.  We were able to return everything but about $40 worth of stuff, which is gonna be donated to mom-in-law's dog.  That includes a big-ass bag of dog food.  Lucky pup.



So like my title suggests, I don't need to build a doghouse anymore.  But it looks like I'm going to need to build a trophy case.  Because I was given 2 more awards!!

I haven't had a girl give
me her cherry in....

First up is the 'Cherry on Top' award, given to me by the famous and sexy Random Girl Blog.  She's a top-notch blogger who also writes articles for The Dude Society, so make sure to check her out on both mediums.  That is, if you're not following her already.  Odds are you have been for a while, because she's just that badass.

And she thinks I'm yummy!  I haven't had a girl tell me I have 'that little bit extra' in, well...

Award rules state I need to tell you 3 things I love about myself, and then pass it on to 5 other bloggers.

1 - I love my sense of humor.  It comes in handy when diffusing tense situations, and it melts women's butter faster than almost anything else I know of (maybe not as much as a 6pack, but I'm working on that)

2 - I love the fact that, if I want something and put effort into getting it, I get what I want.  I'm not always ambitious, but when I am, watch out world.

3 - I love having green eyes.  They're like a magical hypno-laser of sexiness.

As far as the 5 bloggers go, I choose these five fantastic females:

• BRB - Going Insane
• Colorful Rants of a Fed Up Sista
• Mama Still Wears Gucci (warning, gets a little NSFW at times)
• Reflections in a Wave Pool (should get a little more NSFW at times)  =P
• The Animated Woman

If you're not sure why they are worthy of this award, go check 'em out.  You'll see why.  Their blogs speak for themselves.

Have you hugged your blogger today?
We like bj's too, ya know...

Secondly is the Hug-a-Blogger award, handed out by Adsila at Above the Norm.  Apparently I show the characteristics of a good blogger.  (Who knew?  I just like to type...)

No hoops for this award.  Just gonna wear it proudly, and hug all the bloggers I meet.

Have a great weekend, everyone.  I'll be back with another absurd Idahoan post tomorrow.
