Give me some good beer, conversation, friends, and music and there is little that will bother me. I try to treat others as I wish to be treated and when I don't, I like to think I learn from my mistakes. I believe most people are trustworthy until proven otherwise. I'm a conversational snob. I have little tolerance for stupidity or rudeness. Common courtesy is one of the best traits one can have. I believe there is conversation that is inappropriate for the dinner table. I love running into people I used to know, but am always happier if I look cute when it happens. I think there would be much less ruckus in the world if brunch were a daily offering.

Those Crazy Brits

My summer vacations were never this ambitious. Two British college students are planning to traverse the United States this summer breaking the following silly laws:
Starting in my home state California, they will ride a bike in a swimming pool and curse on a mini-golf course.
In the state without a sea Utah, they will hopefully evade arrest when they hire a boat and attempt to go whale-hunting.
They will then take a nap in a cheese factory in South Dakota.

Their journey will start in Alcatraz, fittingly, and will cover approximately 18,000 miles and last eight weeks - assuming they are not taken down by the fuzz of course.

Here's a sampling of other laws they plan to break (thanks Times of London):
It is illegal to play cards against a Native American in Globe, Arizona
It is illegal to drive around the town square in Oxford, Mississippi, more than 100 times on a single occasion
It is illegal to say “oh boy” in Jonesborough, Georgia
It is illegal to play golf in the streets of Albany, New York
It is illegal to give lighted cigars to dogs, cats and other pets in Zion, Illinois
It is illegal to take a lion to the cinema in Baltimore
In Carmel, New York, a man cannot go outside while wearing a jacket and trousers that do not match (okay - this is not a silly law....really should be nationwide)
In Miami, it is illegal for men to be seen publicly in any kind of strapless gown (again, not a silly law)
