Get ready to spit and blaspheme freely.

[Not My Usual Alias]

. . . .
The bill also would eliminate laws declaring the Communist Party a subversive organization, making adultery a criminal offense punishable by three years in jail or a $500 fine, and barring anyone from "acting in a suspicious manner around any steamboat landing, railroad depot, or any electric railway station."
. . . .

So, are the laws being updated for a future visit from Fidel now that he has a lot more time on his hands?

[jugheaded]

Well NMUA, if Fidel wants to suspiciously have an adulterous relationship at a steamboat landing or railroad depot, then he's good to go.

[Not My Usual Alias]

Jugheaded --
Fidel should probably wait until after Lent, though.

[SW]

Spit happens.

[jugheaded]

Good point NMUA.

Spitting? Tats? Baseball season is finally here.

[padraig]

You know, this could give rise to a whole new form of tourism in Massachusetts.

[delegate ellie]

Would tattooing while committing adultery be considered "tit for tat"?

*Snork* @ SW

[Texgal]

Finally, a state where I can just be sweet, little old me.

[Texgal]

As long as it's done in sidewalk spit.

[Siouxie]

Stevie...stevie...stevie... LOL

Dave's been busy this morning. More posts than I can handle at this time. But I'm sure they're all as interesting and as topical as this one. :)

The bill also would eliminate laws ..... barring anyone from "acting in a suspicious manner around any steamboat landing, railroad depot, or any electric railway station.

Phew...

[DeskDiva]

ellie - LOL! You're always in great form, Toots. ;-)

*marks "contumeliously" as today's secret word*

[Siouxie]

lol ellie and you fart whilst getting the tattoo...it's "toot for tat"

[SW]

Ditto on the ell-oh-ellie. Did Kate Beckinsale come by for a "tat for t**t?"

[SW]

Dunno, but having your tattoo removed while doing it would be making a clean breast of things, wouldn't it?

[Betsy]

Chuck...That was certainly my reaction!

I'll meet you on the landing at the usual time...

[daisymae]

snorks @ ellie, sw & siouxie

Tat's all folks!

[DeskDiva]

*applauds SW's fine work*

[daisymae]

Brittany getting even: Twit for tat

Porn star tat: Tat for tart

[Bumble]

Does anyone know where I could find a link or a page reference to Dave's column on Schick & Gillette and how they're always trying to one-up each other by adding another blade? I want to quote that column for a marketing assignment I'm writing, and I know I have that column somewhere on my bookshelf, but I don't know which book and page.

[Siouxie]

LOL daisy. How easily we are amused, eh??

*paging the s.b.*

*paging the s.b.*

[Bumble]

Aha! Never mind. :-)

[Siouxie]

um..nevermind, judi LOL

[lil rascal]

What Ted needs is a country for his state. hawkaput-ta.

[ubetcha]

Unlike Florida, I'm pretty sure we can't have our way with goats here in MA yet, so we're hanging onto civility by a thread.

[Siouxie]

ub, only with a consenting goat.

[DeskDiva]

ubetcha - it's not THIS thread!

[Annie Where-but-here]

Today's somewhat legal tip - ubetcha, next time, let the goat lead. Then you won't be accused of having your way.

[Merri Lee]

When I visited Boston U, they said there were no sorority houses on campus because according to state law, six or more unrelated women living under the same roof constituted a brothel. I wonder if that will get repealed.

[cj]

Aye, long these many years me mateys have waited to befoul God and commit adultery in public purview.

OHHHHH, we'll spit on our tats
And loiter like rats
But nary a jailbird time

We'll tattto each other
Blasphere to our mother
But nary a fix or a fine

We'll marry queer mateys
That live out of stateys
But nary a jailbird time

[Siouxie]

Another CJ???

LOL good one!

[Texgal]

oooooooooooooooooo, cj, you silver tongued devil!

[DeskDiva]

Excellent poetry, cj! :)

[Betsy]

Hi, Bumble! Long time, no see:) I think of that column everytime I see yet another Technological Breakthrough -- we're up to, what, five blades now?

[ubetcha]

Siouxie - by consenting, do you mean like this?

[Siouxie]

LOL ub, you and Annie think alike!

[Mahatma Kane Jeeves]

Okay, but just as long as there will be room in the handbasket . . .

[ubetcha]

Yikes! It took me so long to figure out how to post it, I didn't realize Annie already had.

[Siouxie]

ub, at least you did it! YAY for you!

(besides, having a great mind like Annie is not too shabby) ;-)

[queensbee]

hey - lets get blaspheming out there!

[ubetcha]

Very true Siouxie!

[Texgal]

MKJ -- that is just so wrong on so many levels! Nice to know that people still know how to show proper respect and get a "great deal" at the same time.

[Mahatma Kane Jeeves]

Texgal: I'll scooch over to make room in the handbasket . . .
:-P

[Mahatma Kane Jeeves]

12 bidders and counting . . .

[Texgal]

Frickin' unbelievable for tacky plastic.

[Siouxie]

MKJ, you're gonna need a bigger handbasket...just sayin'

[Mahatma Kane Jeeves]

yaabut where is it going?

[Mahatma Kane Jeeves]

High bidder: I_see_toast

"acting in a suspicious manner around any steamboat landing"

Just realized as I'm getting ready to head over to the landing, that I have no idea as to what constitutes suspicious behavior on a steamboat landing. For that matter I have no idea as to what constitutes normal behavior for a steamboat landing.

any ideas/suggestions?

[jugheaded]

Ask Siouxie. She seems to know about abnormal behaviour.

[Siouxie]

*raises brow* @ jug

[jugheaded]

snork. Gotcha Siouxie

[Texgal]

juggie sweetiecakes, why is there a machete wrapped around your neck?

*silently vows to tread lightly around the Sioux and to carry a big frickin' shield*

[Renee (the First)]

SNOOOOORK at the goat photos!

[Christine]

I actually live just outside of Boston. I have traveled on subways in Boston. I have traversed their sidewalks. I have listened to the locals. Trust me, repealing those laws is a vast mistake.
