Does your state have crazy requirements?
In working on a layout this afternoon, I jokingly referred to the Texas Constitutional requirement that you photograph each of your children in front of BlueBonnets and post them prominently in your home.
It took 8 years, but we finally did it this past spring - I got both of the boys (but did forget to get them together) in front of bluebonnets - not a proper field because we didn't find one, but at least in front of a decent display at our town park that is sewn every year. Do you have quirky 'reqiurements' from your state like that?

It's not a REAL bylaw, just sort of an understood one ROFL You'll see families all over with pics in their homes of their kids in front of bluebonnets. And in the spring, along highways and embankments and parks, everywhere there are bluebonnets, you'll see people gathered, photographing their families in the bluebonnets.

Don't tell my family that it's not an actual law! I have them convinced otherwise, and that's the real reason they cooperate! LOL! Jodi

Well, I find this law stupid considering prostitution is legal in my state. Not that I have any of the below mentioned items, I just find it stupid in a state that has legalized prostitution.
"It is unlawful to purchase sex toys." Oh and how can I forget this one: "It is illegal to drive a camel on the highway."

LOLOL Sarah - it's not a REAL law -
You've NEVER driven over on Spring Valley and Parker? (maybe not), but there's a steep incline/embankment by the big church there that has bluebonnets every year, and we've always seen families there. There's a big huge field next to an old barn where someone has sewn bluebonnets on purpose within the fences along 281 near Lampassas I think. Man...there are cars there EVERYWHERE during the spring when they're in bloom - everyone wanting to get that shot that you always see on paintings in folksy places around the state - (you know, the ones on sawblades and mailboxes?). And along 35/45 - we've always seen families pulled over taking shots.

Well, this is a real doozy in the neighboring city where I used to live. Supposed to be a city ordinance. Can't eat ice cream on the sidewalk. Party poopers.

I think Maryland's must be "All seafood and seafood related items must be smothered in Old Bay seasoning." Or "Blue crabs are the best thing since sliced bread." (Except they aren't. They come from the bay EW and aren't worth the effort to get their measley meat from them.)
I'm convinced Jordan has burned off his taste buds from excess Old Bay which only makes it worse so he adds 10x more than is necessary.

well, it's kinda illegal to have a fake Christmas tree in Oregon. Everyone thinks you are crazy if you do. We are surrounded by gorgeous evergreens but I don't actually want one in my house. I've had several tree accidents inside (tree fallen over, tipped out yucky water and ruined a carpet) and I am actually allergic (if I touch it). So we have a fake one, but darn if people don't act like I've done the unthinkable here in Oregon. LOL

We don't care if it's Dr. Pepper, Pepsi, Sprite, Sunkist, etc...
It is called coke. Or co-cola. BBQ in the eastern part of the state (where I am) must have yellow sauce. western part is red/dark sauce and each one thinks it has the best BBQ. Truly though, we do  Oh and BBQ means only pork. Like pulled pork, pork ribs, etc.. no other meat is called that or referred to by BBQ. We call is cooking out or grilling or something. bar b que is a specific term referring to pork meat, not cooking. LOL

isn't there one about it being illegal to pick the bluebonnets?
 I remember when we went down on year (my aunt lived in texas) my mom picked a whole bunch & dried them.. and brought them home it was a big hoopla when my aunt found out lol lolanyway.. silly RI laws.. It is illegal to challenge someone to a duel, or accept a duel, even it it is never actually fought. and It is illegal to throw pickle juice on a trolley.. and one more just for giggles.. It is illegal to wear transparent clothing.

okay I had to google this.. Here is a blog site with a whole bunch of silly laws (many have been revoked... I hope)
http://crazytopics.blogspot.com/2007...n-america.html but my favorite one from my state takes place in Wilbur, WA (about 1.5 hours from where I live)... It's illegal in Wilbur, Washington, to ride an ugly horse
