Don't put a couch on your porch in Boulder

So this evening I was enjoying a few after giving up studying for finals for the evening, and I started looking up odd laws in different states. I'm posting this as a warning to certain HBT members (you know who you are); don't move to Boulder, CO, and expect to carry on with your current lifestyle.

On a completely unrelated note, I need to re-upgrade to premium. It's so much harder to find your last post without a picture of a giant man eating a giant hamburger next to your name.

Also, keep your junk to yourself in Vail

Everyone,

Find out if there are any dumb laws in your community!!

Here is mine:

Lubbock County
It is illegal to drive within an arm’s length of alcohol – including alcohol in someone else’s blood stream.

I am still not sure if I understand this one SO, we should NOT have designated drivers in Lubbock???

I give you the original (and epic) porch couch thread: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f45/code-enforcement-52640/

"Sofa or die!"

From Rehobeth Beach Delaware

Six-year-old girls may not run around without being fully clothed.

But 18 year olds are ok??

Alcohol may not be served in nightclubs if dancing is occurring on the premises at the same time.

In Wisconsin: Whenever two trains meet at an intersection of said tracks, neither shall proceed until the other has.

Can make wine or cider in Oklahoma.

But not beer.

Having lived there, this law made a big difference in keeping sections of the old town from burning down after CU/CSU football game every year. Seems like a weird law, but I guess you just gotta be there

Man, speaking from experience this is such a pain in the ass. When I am coming back from Harrisburg or Lancaster I can barely fit enough rockets in my trunk. Then I have to make sure my lighter is working or else I have to use the car lighter. Don't get me started on trying to light rocket fuses with car lighters.

In Kansas "Pedestrians crossing the highways at night must wear tail lights."

That would make for one long train ride!

Surprisingly the law is against college kids and not rednecks though. Who lights a couch on fire for fun? Silly college kids...

From California:

It is a misdemeanor to shoot at any kind of game from a moving vehicle, unless the target is a whale.

but it cali it is illegal to deliberately shoot out of a vehicle, or as driver to allow any passenger to, with a firearm, moving or not. so it must mean a... crossbow.

A misdemeanor means it is illegal. And so is whaling.

well, you'll be "proper phuckked" if you get caught!

I'm surprised it's not a felony.

Goddamn my room is cold. It's supposed to reach record lows in Oakland tonight and my heater is puny. It doesn't seem to heat up areas, only what it directly blows on. In the morning I put it between my legs to warm up my sack.

Minnesota:

It shall be the duty of any policeman or any other officer to enforce the provisions of this Section, and if any cat is found running at large, or which is found in any street, alley or public place, it shall be the duty of any policeman or other officer of the city to kill such cat.
