Topical Chat, December 31, 2007

This will be my last post of 2007 – enjoy the New Year, everyone!

1. On some crazy laws that are still in the books, for instance - In Fairbanks, Alaska, it's illegal to serve liquor to a moose, but on Ohio it's legal to serve booze to a fish, but not if you get it drunk:
“That’s nothing – In New Jersey, it’s illegal to have a full set of teeth …”

2. On three Maryland dogs inheriting an $800,000 estate:
“Rover, Alpo is on line one …”

3. On the Malaysian government decreeing that the word "Allah" can only be used by Muslims:
“This act will most certainly bring the religions of the world more closer together …”

4. On a New York City assemblywoman who is on a crusade to lower the volume in movie theaters:
“Good to see a politician with her finger on the pulse of reality …”

5. On a man who told police a pterodactyl caused him to drive his car into a light pole:
“Whatever happened to the classics, like ‘the sun got in my eyes,’ or ‘the light pole jumped in front of my car last second?’”

6. On Japanese prisoners disliking their unstylish pajamas, feeling their cells are too small and wanting better meals:
“At least they have no complaints about the back-door sex …”

7. On the Norwegian military promoting a penguin to Colonel in Chief of the Royal Norwegian Guard:
“Batman was unavailable for comment …”

8. On Scotland’s government minister claiming that binge drinking during the festive season has become Scotland's "national sport:"

Well I have to admit I wouldn't want to be too near a drunken moose.

I accidently spilled a glass of vodka in my pond once. My fish bred more than they ever had later that year.

Caz also dropped my 'smoke' in there to stop me getting stoned. It worked but the fish swam three feet above the water for a few days....

1. PA alcohol laws are Exhibit A.

2. None are Michael Vick's.

3. How about the phrase "suicide bomber"?

4. Freaks like her make Rudy Giuliani that much more impressive.

5. A pink pterodactyl?

6. Japanese prisoners so sorry Sheriff Joe Arpaio is too busy making Phoenix prisoners wear pink.

7. Norwegian military: almost as inconsequential as the French military.

8. Proclamation a few years late.
