<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today begins a 28-day writing challenge which is the brain-child of Nicky and Mike at <a href="http://www.weworkforcheese.com/" target="_blank">We Work For Cheese</a>. It's no surprise, given the name of their blog, that today's prompt is a cheese from the Netherlands....Gouda.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This is Gouda. The cheese is named for the town in the Netherlands, Gouda. Even though the locals pronounce it as "How-da", it's still known as Gouda around the world. Between the Gouda and Edam cheeses, the Netherlands produces 30 millions pounds of cheese per week...not a month, not a year, but a week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The name, Gouda, is not protected. So, should you choose to make this delicious, cow's milk-based cheese, feel free to call it, Gouda, because the name, Gouda, is not protected and you will not suffer any repercussions from the town of Gouda or their Gouda cheese makers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The reasons for Gouda being formed into round wheels is 1) the aging process is better, 2) easy storage in sailing ships and 3) the Gouda wheel was used as cannon balls in the Caribbean. Yes, a few good Goudas were sacrificed for the good of the ship, her cargo and her crew. Good Gouda!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
However, from the pic above, I believe a wheel of Gouda may have been used as spare wagon wheels. See how the wagons are lined for their Gouda wheel? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This concludes my interesting facts for Gouda, the versatile cheese. For more about Gouda, click on over to <a href="http://weworkforcheese.com/" target="_blank">We Work For Cheese</a> where you will find links to others who have also accepted this writing challenge.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I received my first Christmas card in the mail yesterday, but it was nothing like the family photo card which has been selected for this week's edition of Caption This! It's obvious one of the family members is not too thrilled about posing with the family.....I wonder why?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Enter as often as you like and return here on Saturday when the winner of The Golden Phallus is announced. So, put on your thinking caps and get crack-a-lackin'. Good luck!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Good morning! We wake this morning to some kind of extreme weather in most parts of the country. Even here in the desert southwest I can honestly say, "baby, it's cold outside". But that's okay, I'm staying toasty warm in my snuggie and mukluks. I also have the added warmth of a big mug of dark chocolate and caramel cocoa topped off with whip cream...yummy. So as you make your way to the market for supplies, please be careful out there. Try to keep your "hey, watch this y'all" antics to a minimum. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In case you have been standing in line for a great deal on a 32" LCD TV this past week, you may not have heard the latest in literary news --Rodney "moooooog" Lacroix's second book has been released!!! "Perhaps I Have Said Too Much" hit the Amazon charts this week with a bang, reaching spot #13 within hours of its release and the reviews are smashing!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For those of you unfamiliar with moooooog, let me introduce you --</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">Rodney Lacroix is a comedian, father of two amazing kids, reluctant 40-hour-a-</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">week software engineer and best-selling author. In 2013, Rodney was </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">awarded an NGI Book Awards Medal for his memoir, "Things Go Wrong for </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">Me." This coveted medal is currently on display around his neck because that's the kind of humble guy he is</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">Rodney firmly believes that fabricating grandiose tales about one's self makes </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">a person far more impressive. And, that's exactly what he told Playgirl Magazine </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">when they did a 4-page nude spread of him. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 19px;">On second thought --it's probably best you don't believe <i>anything</i> Rodney says.</span><br />
<i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></i>
<i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"It's not a lie if you believe it."</i></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; text-align: justify;">Bionic fingers, self-combusting Tiffany lamps, rubber spiders and ventriloquist dolls. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: justify;">Rodney has lived his life trying to fool people. Some of this is on purpose and some of this just comes naturally. But no matter what the story he spins, there is always retribution --and it is very rarely a happy ending.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span id="yiv6812843512yui_3_13_0_1_1384218378188_9667" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Join Rodney as he walks you through hysterical stories told through the eyes of a perpetual liar. Wince at his untruths, told in the same unconventional style that won him two awards for his 2012 release, "Things Go Wrong for Me." Feel his pain. Shake your head. Learn some lessons. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As usual, all of the stories contained herein are true. Or are they?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas and the ugly holiday sweaters are being brought out from the moth balls to adorn those brave enough to wear them. Look, they work hard for the ugly. So, let's get in the spirit of things and Caption This!</div>

I do apologize for the delay, as you can see, I was mighty busy during the Thanksgiving holiday. The food was delicious, the company was delightful and the weather was perfect. All-in-all, we had a marvelous time.</div>

I do appreciate all who participated this week. If you were half as busy as I was, you definitely deserve props for showing up and playing. Now, who won? There were a couple of really good captions worthy of a most-honorable mention......</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>JBM</b> said,<i> "Ronnie was an eccentric loner which was unfortunate for Misery, his cat."</i></div>

The winner this week could not be beat even if you took a stick to his caption. Plus, only a Canadian would be able to think on this level...with or without a tin foil hat. Toronto's mayor, Rob Ford, has been the butt of many a joke recently and now has made it to the pages of The Screaming Me-Me!!! </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
What in the hell has happened to me? When did the simplest of tasks become so arduous? When did preparing for house guests become such a nightmare? I admit my age and have always felt that I was accomplishing more than my mother did at this age, but what the bloody hell? It's like I woke up this morning and I had aged at least 10 years over night. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, who moved the bathroom? I counted my shuffles, that was at least 20 too many. The good news is, I made it! And, thank goodness, I have a high-boy toilet or I may have wished I had Life Alert. Which, in light of my onset of elders, might not be a bad idea.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have three days to get it together so I can welcome my guests with a smile and give the appearance that my preparations were done effortlessly. This weekend I completed two extensive shopping trips and one trip to the laundromat with all the bedding and rugs. Discovering my strength isn't what it used to be, I have decided I need a wagon or a forklift for future loading and unloading. At the grocery store the checkout guy asked me if I needed help out. I asked him if it would be possible if that person could come home with me to unload. He gave me one of those are-you-serious looks and that's when I assured him I would bring them back to the store right away. Well, I tried. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am running out of time. I need a shot of something or helping hands, whichever is the most effective. Or maybe, just maybe, I will remind myself Rome wasn't built in a day and pry my tired old butt from this chair.<br />
<br />
Music...that's what I need! Something fast paced, something that will put a little pep in my step to help me dance through all of this. Yep, I will put aside the old folks boogie for now and I will definitely rock this joint!<br />
<br />

<i>Originally posted 11/10/2009</i><br />
<br />
It's happened to everyone of us, to men and women alike. An injustice we probably have experienced more than once in our lives. It's regrettable. It's embarrassing. It makes you want to hide, lie to your friends and even take a sick day.<br />
<br />
What is this injustice?<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">The bad haircut!</span><br />
<br />
We make the appointment or walk-in on a whim. We take a seat in a chair similar to the chair at the dentist's office. We are at the mercy of a man or woman with a pair of scissors. They spin you around to where you cannot see. Snip, snip here - snip, snip there. You watch what was to be "only a trim" fall onto the floor. You wait with nervous anticipation.<br />
<br />
You are at the hands of someone that may be having a bad day. Or they could have some weird perception of what really looks good on top of your head. You cringe as they gasp under their breath. More hair seems to fall onto the floor than you had expressed in an attempt to cover up the mistake. You begin to rationalize.<br />
<br />
They begin to style your new cut. Loads of different products are applied which smell great individually, but now your hair smells like a rotting fruit salad. They comb, blow-dry, brush, and curl. They get front and center, the last lock is in place. Finally, the finishing spray.<br />
<br />
Just before they spin you around, you're aware of other stylists and patrons trying <span style="font-style: italic;">not</span> to notice. Your heart starts to beat faster, your breath is short. It's like coming up on a car accident. You know you shouldn't look, but this time - it's you. Then you hear those words, "So how do you like it?"<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN9-fDrhEPgfoAm3TK5Naa9x3u4127p8GWvovXD6mhJSi4KdkrDd5l_rRbFZs2Hmiqy8TZCUmE4GCuiqlNn2yx35QIGKEEx_peRnvHjjriqDGFTeStsRENFvK9TEDt0jw3mXwdXvTfSh0/s1600-h/i-finally-got-the-kate-gosselin-haircut-can-you-19306-1244774476-46.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402453958227523282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN9-fDrhEPgfoAm3TK5Naa9x3u4127p8GWvovXD6mhJSi4KdkrDd5l_rRbFZs2Hmiqy8TZCUmE4GCuiqlNn2yx35QIGKEEx_peRnvHjjriqDGFTeStsRENFvK9TEDt0jw3mXwdXvTfSh0/s400/i-finally-got-the-kate-gosselin-haircut-can-you-19306-1244774476-46.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 190px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 102px;" /></a>Your eyes widen, you squirm in your seat. You even lean forward to take a closer look. You look at yourself at different angles. The mirror is held for you to take a look at the back of your head. As you try to compose yourself, you smile nervously, then you answer, "It's okay, it's fine". But, what you are really thinking is, "Shit!, I look like Kate Gosselin".<br />
<br />
The plastic cape, that holds what used to be your hair, is removed. Your reach for your wallet remembering that their scissors are still within reach. Your hand over their fee <span style="font-style: italic;">plus</span> you even give them a tip. You walk quickly to your car and stare at yourself in the rear view mirror. You sigh, choke back the tears and try to calm yourself by thinking, "It'll grow back, it's only hair."<br />

I am really looking forward to my son and his family visiting me during that time. It's been a long time since I have hosted a holiday feast in my home and my emotions are running from one end of the spectrum to the other. I am extremely excited to have my family here one minute and the next minute I'm having anxiety over preparing the meal.</div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
One thing is for sure.....music. I love to cook (and clean) to music. My foot starts tappin', my fingers are snappin' and I'm chop, chop, choppin' to the beat. Next thing I know, everything is plated and it's time to sit down and eat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
While looking for some Thanksgiving music suggestions today, I ran across this handy playlist on Pinterest. Not only does it have a section for while in the kitchen, it also has a section for at the table. Cool!</div>

Hello everyone and welcome back to Me-Me's Playhouse and thank you all for playing Caption This! This week's photo was an awkward family of sisters posing with their favorite things. The family pets, I get that, but the ventriloquist doll....weird. </div>

It's official, my sister has lost her ever lovin', pea pickin' mind! Yes, I said pea pickin', it's a Southern endearment. Usually, when our loved ones reach this level of crazy is when we give them a cocktail and parade them out onto the front porch for all to see. This is exactly where you will find my sister today, kickin' it on the porch sippin' her mint julep. </div>
<br />
Shortly after this past Tuesday's elimination show of <i>The Voice</i>, my sister, Joy, sent me a text about the show.<br />
<br />
Joy: You watch The Voice?<br />
<br />
Me: Yes, not tonight though, who was sent home?<br />
<br />
Joy: Josh and Johnny! I was pulling for Josh....even signed up with Twitter so I could send in a "save" vote. I'm sad....so now I will pull for Will.<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Bless her heart, she even got herself a Twitter account to save her guy.</i><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Me: Oh, good, my pick is still in the running!</div>
<br />
Me: I want the Jamaican chick to win.<br />
<br />
Joy: What does she look like?<br />
<br />
Me: Tall, Asian-looking, short hair, Adam's team.<br />
<br />
Joy: She was eliminated last time.<br />
<br />
Me: No, she sang last night. She's a back up singer for Jimmy Cliff.<br />
<br />
Joy: Light or dark complexion?<br />
<br />
Me: She is from Jamaica, is tall, short hair, has the best voice on the whole show. She has a light complexion, an Asian mix. Dresses very nice. Adam's team.<br />
<br />
Joy: I'm confused<br />
<i>Lawdy, I'll say.</i><br />
<br />
Joy: Ok...yeah, I know the one....thick with lighter skin...the only girl left on his team. <br />
<i>Finally!</i><br />
<br />
Me: Right, she is a professional singer.<br />
<br />
Joy: Ok....I don't like her. You need to pick someone else.<br />
<i>Wait, what? You want me to do what?</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Me:<i> </i>Nope! My pick is gonna win!!! Not Will the wuss.<br />
<i><br /></i>
Joy: He is precious and plays instruments! Your woman is unattractive...pick another.<br />
<i>*rolls eyes*</i><br />
<br />
Me: Wow, I didn't realize you are so superficial.<br />
<br />
Joy: Her face and big legs will not sell albums. The young cute blonde with the different sweet voice will be the one to win.<br />
<br />
Me: Tell that to Aretha Franklin.<br />
<br />
Joy: Motown had only a few to choose from back then.<br />
<i>What are you saying, are you crazy?</i><br />
<br />
Me: Shut the fuck up!<br />
<br />
Joy: It's a tough market out there now a days.<br />
<i>Now, she's a record promoter, egads.</i><br />
<br />
Me: Competing with GaGa, Katie Perry and Miley....yeah, real tough.<br />
<br />
Joy: Bwahahahahahaha! U shut the fuck up, chicken butt!<br />
<br />
At that point, I had had enough texting back in forth for one night, so we signed off. <i>Whew!</i><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, all I am asking you to do is to just take a quick listen to Joy's pick, Will Champlin and then to mine, Tessanne Chin. You decide, are you Team Joy or Team Me-Me?</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
During my sabbatical, I discovered many new things on the internet to occupy my time. Things which didn't take much of a commitment, things that did require gifting, helping or acquiring elements in order to conquer a challenge and things which required little or no social interaction so I could continue to perfect my life as a hermit. One of those things led me to electronic hoarding. Yes, I discovered the wonderful world of Pinterest and, now, I am a pinaholic! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What a magical place. It's quite beautiful there and very peaceful. Pinterest takes you to faraway lands where you can experience their colorful cultures and breathtaking landscapes. I have many many homes which are perfectly decorated and full of art by the masters. Then there is the garage which holds the most expensive cars, the fastest motorcycles and every kind of boat imaginable. Not to mention my closet rivals no one, every piece is custom selected for me. Yes, life is fabulous in the land of Pinterest.<br />
<br />
To be honest, it's not really all sunshine, rose gardens and gingham curtains. Like the recipes that will never see the light of my kitchen and DIY and craft projects that will never get past a materials list. There have been many of these recipes and projects attempted by other pinners which have ended in a big fat FAIL. Here's a sample of those who have ventured where I dare not go....Pinterest Hell!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So sorry for the delay in posting the winner of Caption This!, but I have been under the weather with a head and chest cold which has had me feeling pretty poorly. However, after a double-round of Nyquil and copious amounts of Ibuprofen, I am feeling much better.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

Before we get to the winner, I must give credit to a couple of most-honorable mentions for their fine entries.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.indigoroth.com/" target="_blank">Indigo Roth</a> may have found his match with his caption,<i> "After several years of the single life, Roth finally lands a date with not just ONE beautiful woman, but TWINS! Things are looking up!"</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://theoffendedblogger.com/" target="_blank">Chelle Blogger</a> also stopped by and left this caption, <i>"Hugh Hefner is so old he doesn't even notice if his live-in girlfriends have penises anymore."</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This week's winner is no stranger to captioning, in fact, he runs his own caption contest each week. So, be sure to stop by his place on Wednesday to play <b>Pause, Ponder and Pun</b>. Stand up and take a bow<b> <a href="http://nonamedufus.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Dufus</a></b>, you are this week's recipient of The Golden Phallus! <i>Congratulations!</i></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Years ago when dog apparel first became popular, I was surprised by the number of companies who offered online catalogs of all kinds of doggie ensembles for all kinds of occasions. And, of course, the pet specialty and big box stores also had racks and racks of clothing for any type and size dog. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I really never considered buying clothing for my dog. Just wrestling my 135 pound Akita into a cammo hoodie or an evening jacket complete with bow tie would have probably qualified us as winners of American's Funniest Home Videos.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The thing that really got me the most was the indignant look on most of the models' faces...like the one pictured here in a Superman costume. <i>Look at his face!</i> He's sitting there so obedient and hating every minute of it. He doesn't care how many rewards he'll receive, he just wants out of that thing.<br />
<br />
<br />
Honestly, I would laugh and laugh and laugh so much that perusing these websites became a favorite pastime. Yeah, doggie porn, I guess. I found these pooches' attitudes in their designer outfits absolutely hilarious.<br />
<br />
Don't get me wrong, I have seen many cute little dogs who were freshly groomed and dressed to the nines --they looked darling. But, truth be told, they'd rather be rolling around in the dirt trying to get out of that fru-fru outfit and pick up some odors that are far more disgusting. Let's face it, they are ashamed to be seen around the dog park looking like a model from Dogue.<br />
<br />
Now, my attention has shifted somewhat. My latest fascination is with dog shaming. If you are a dog owner, you understand how dogs can be rather destructive. One day I came home and discovered my 6 month old Chi-mix had escaped from her puppy playpen and had made an igloo for herself in one of the arms of the sofa. I paused, called out her name, then she wiggle out with her tail wagging. <i>What do you do?</i> Well, all you can do is clean up the mess and throw a blanket over the hole with hopes no one will notice. And, you might consider getting an escape proof kennel.<br />
<br />
I'm sure some of you have seen the website, <a href="http://dogshaming.com/" target="_blank">Dog Shaming</a>. Dog owners send photos of their best friends announcing to the world their pet's latest indiscretion usually by wearing a sign. Kind of like that kid who recently was forced to wear a sign into Walmart for all to see he was a liar. As a dog owner, I can totally relate to most of these circumstances and the frustrations and this may be an option for me in the future. So, without further ado, I have chosen a few of my favorites from the website to share with you today.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead is a popular holiday celebrated the day after Halloween throughout Mexico and in other parts of the world. This day is for remembering the friends and family members who have passed on to the spirit world. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here in the desert southwest, with a history rich in the Mexican heritage, it's not surprising there are lots of fun festivals, art exhibits and music events celebrating this special holiday over the next two days. I am looking forward to attending a couple of events myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have found a wonderful short film which happens to be the 2013 Student Academy Award Gold Medal winner in CGI animation. Beautifully animated, it is a heartfelt story about a little girl who visits the land of the dead and learns the true meaning of this special day. It truly captures the essence of Dia de los Muertos perfectly. Enjoy!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was talking with a friend over the weekend who kept bringing up weird laws which are still on the books and are enforceable. <i>Huh, do what now?</i> I would laugh and just figured he was pulling my leg, that is, until I started looking them up. So, I spent the better part of Sunday researching and compiling a list just so I could share them with you. You know, just in case you live in or might happen to visit one of these states. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As I confirmed these weird laws, I kept thinking of Barney Fife approaching the offenders as he stuttered, stumbled and fumbled for his one and only bullet, "This calls for action and now, you've got to nip it in the bud."<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><i>Arkansas</i></b></div>
<ul>
<li>Alligators may not be kept in bathtubs. (<i>Seems legit, most alligators wouldn't fit in a bathtub</i>.)</li>
<li>Dogs can not bark after 6 PM. (<i>Gag order on pooches, ridiculous!</i>)</li>
<li>The Arkansas River may rise no higher than to the Main Street bridge in Little Rock. (<i>Question is, who do they arrest in the event of a flood?</i>)</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>Missouri</i></b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>You need a permit to shave while driving. (<i>Bwahahahaha, seriously</i><i>?</i>)</li>
<li>It is illegal to provide beer or other intoxicants to elephants. (<i>Sounds as if someone may have seen a few too many pink elephants.</i>)</li>
<li>It is not illegal to speed. (<i>Not while shaving, I betcha.</i>)</li>
</ul>
</div>
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>Arizona</i></b><br />
<ul>
<li>Hunting camels is prohibited. (<i>I have lived here 20+ years, never seen a camel.</i>)</li>
<li>Donkeys can not sleep in bathtubs. (<i>What is it with animals in bathtubs?</i>)</li>
<li>It is illegal to refuse anyone a glass of water. (<i>With the extreme heat we experience, that's actually a good law.</i>)</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>Utah</i></b></div>
<div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>It is considered an offense to hunt whales. (<i>Huh, whales in Utah?)</i></li>
<li>You can not walk down the street carrying a violin in a paper bag. (<i>Well, fiddle!</i>)</li>
<li>No sex in the back of an ambulance while it is on an emergency call. (<i>Bright lights and loud sirens --yeah, that's a mood killer. Unless, of course, you're into that kind of thing.</i>)</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<br />
<div>
<div>
<b><i>Tennessee</i></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Panhandlers must obtain a $10 permit before begging on the streets. (<i>I kid you not!</i>)</li>
<li>You can not shoot any game from a vehicle window with the exception of whales. (<i>What's the dealio? More laws for whale hunting in landlocked areas? </i>)</li>
<li>You may not use a lasso to catch a fish. (<i>Well, there goes my vacation plans.</i>)</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is just the short list, I will be back real soon with more weird laws from around the states. And, be sure to come back tomorrow for the special Halloween edition of Caption This!</div>
