Just to confirm, you mean this Venus Fly Trap, and not this Venus Flytrap, correct? Either one works for me.

Yessir. The flower kind. I guess I gotta fix the spelling too. (I remember liking WKRP, but I'm afraid if I see reruns I'll hate it.)

WKRP stands the test of time.

Well... at least if you can ignore what they are wearing, it does.

I don't think I would buy the stuff with pigs on the label. The Little Penguin is cute and cuddly, but I wouldn't be able to say that with a straight face either, and I have a very dry sense of English humour...

Law #6
Leave Your Fucking Kid At Home Act

Resolved that: the workplace, the bar, Misfitopia, Maximum Awesome, Mango Radio, the SBC, the bleachers at yankee stadium and Las Vegas proper be free of screaming, disease carrying snot bags. In case of extreme emergency - take the day off, scalp your tickets, or hire a day care service.

The following rider is also attached:
"Leave your flea bag at home with your filthy spawn, too" rider.

Dogs, cats, ferrets and other flea carrying animals should not be allowed on airplanes, food service establishments, public parks that are not specifically designated "Dog Parks" are not allowed. If you are blind - leave the dog at home. Beter yet, stay home with the dog. It all looks the same anyway.

I work in a place where mentally disabled people building things in a warehouse and they're in possession of staple guns and all kinds of things.

One guy came in WITH HIS CHILD ON A LEASH during his interview and then insisted on a tour of the premises with his child in tow.

This kid was about 18 months old and it was entirely inappropriate.

It has been a while. Basically, someone would propose a made-up law--a 'bill' if my saturday Schoolhouse Rock lessons have taught me anything. Then someone else has to second it. After it is seconded, it is put to a vote. If it passes, it becomes added to the Misfitopian Constitution Pop-up Book o' Law, which as you know is extremely super important.

The law could be about anything at all?

Sure. See the nutty laws already passed listed above.
