Indeed, some clothing restrictions we've all wished for, even if it does degrade our civil rights.....
I told you before it's an early spring: A grizzly was seen leaving his den this week....if you drive on this road, I'd advise carrying an extra couple cheesburgers.
Spring seems to be a tad early this year.
And, for the last in local news.......how to get a date, Butte-style.
I can't make this crap up, people. I'm just the messenger....this is from today's local rag:
"A man strolled through the Magic Diamond Casino in Rocker with his privates hanging out of his pants on Sunday night.
A manager reported the incident to police on Monday. The man had been at the casino and tried to talk repeatedly to a female employee, Butte-Silver Bow Undersheriff George Skuletich said Tuesday.
Apparently, the man unzipped his pants and decided to attempt a more visual method of catching her attention."
Ahem. Fine, we all have our methods, it's all good, eh?
Lastly, a couple weeks ago our President gave his state of the union address, followed by the GOP response, all I should add, had been done days before the actual event.......did anyone stay around for the senator Judi response, one of the two GOP?
She's a loon, or an animation, perhaps not real. Spooky at the least.
That exposing yourself trick seldom has a happy ending.
ReplyDeleteUm, this is from experience? Inquiring minds want to know.
DeleteIs yoga going to be illegal, or just yoga pants? And what about bathing suits? Oh, my.
ReplyDeleteHard to say, we first have to figure if it's intent, or something more tangible.
Delete...cheeseburgers and a mighty fast tank.
ReplyDelete...although, if you're in a tank...1) it wouldn't need to be fast, and 2) you wouldn't need cheeseburgers.
DeleteWhat was I thinking?
Glad you're back.
thanks Matha.
DeleteThat is something to see a grizzly up so early. Makes me wonder about the black bears in my neck of the woods.
ReplyDeleteI see we're supposed to get winter back next week, who knows, maybe the griz will go nap.
DeleteI thought Montana was young and fun and liberal. I curse the cyclists who clog my rural roads and do not obey traffic laws, but they would be far easier to follow (or approach) if they were wearing birthday suits, rather than speedos. My goodness, I can almost see buttocks across racing seats.
ReplyDeleteReally? Where did you get that idea?? This is a beautiful, scenic, wild state, with unfortunate politics.
DeleteI won't speculate about the view of said hind ends.....
Looks like she just met the bear.
ReplyDeleteyep
DeleteI would hold up Minnesotas own Michelle Bachman as a top competitor in the Who's looniest race.....
ReplyDeleteOh, I think Bachman is right up there.
DeleteHi Mike-not sure that my comment went through so let me just say...that' is one beautiful bear but I'm glad he doesn't live in our neighborhood. By the way, I found your snow, and you can pick it up any ole' time.
ReplyDeleteI haven't put on a coat in weeks. Heh....
DeleteThat state legislator needs to stay in his house with the drapes drawn watching the TVLand channel's re-runs of 50's tv shows.
ReplyDeleteAnd, first there was Michelle, then Sarah, now Joni. Where do they breed these loonies anyway? And why?
It's funny...even up here they look at them as funny, in the weird, not ha ha way.
DeleteAs to do they breed them, most certainly. I haven't a doubt. Why......those people must have their reasons. At this point I just offer them encouragement. The loony's should be loony.
You can't actually click on that link but when I pasted it in, it required answering a survey question before it let you into the page, so I bolted. But why just yoga pants and speedos? Seems like you'd have to also ban leggings and some other clothing items to be consistent.
ReplyDeleteI always wonder how some men got the idea that exposing themselves or sending photos of their private bits is going to help their cause at all. Makes most women cringe.
Yeah, click was something of an exaggeration, eh? Who knows how they get that idea, probably the same vector that guides them in other ways.
DeleteSame kind of winter in Minnesota, though I imagine yours is still a good deal more fierce. No grizzlies here, though. Best we hope for is a mild little black bear nosing around the suburbs.
ReplyDeleteThe weather here has been quite odd....don't think it's more severe.
DeleteLots of Portlanders seemed to enjoy participating in the Annual Naked Bike Ride. I think your local lawmaker ought to avoid the PNW too.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Portlanders are odd ducks.....lived there meself, for some years and a oregon native, 4th generation.
DeleteApparently the impetus of all this was a Missoula naked bike ride, as I understand the whole gig.
Montana has always fascinated me. It's beauty offset by the interspersed whackos almost drew me in. Then I realized they are everywhere and it didn't matter so much where I ended up. It is still a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteIt's fascinated a lot of people....Jim Harrison, Tom McGuane, etc.....
Deleteyou're in good company.
