Grex Accordions Item 157: Best Brilliant Illegal Things (BBIT)
Entered by font on Tue Jan 6 13:11:58 UTC 1998:

This is the Item for the best Illegal things that are out there.
Feel free to talk about the good, the bad, and ofcourse the interesting
aspects of these things.  Now, knowing accordionists as I do, I have no
worries on this becoming a war room for legal discussion, and if it does,
well, it will be more excitement than Accordions has seen in a while.
Have at it!

Snagging...walking on private land (without litering or hunting ;)


#6 of 30 by orinoco on Fri Jan 30 03:23:54 1998:

Breaking into someone's house, rearranging their furniture, cooking them
dinner, and leaving.


#7 of 30 by font on Mon Feb 2 19:02:47 1998:

you forgot dusting.


#8 of 30 by orinoco on Tue Feb 3 04:20:30 1998:

Indeed I did.  Also shampooing their wallpaper and refinishing thier parakeet.
Silly me.


#9 of 30 by font on Wed Feb 4 01:06:00 1998:

Did you refinish the parakeet with ebony or mahogany?  (such distinctions are
very important)


#10 of 30 by orinoco on Wed Feb 4 03:09:49 1998:

Neither.  I found a simple walnut finish to be more elegant.  (Of course,
there was a fine mahogany inlay around it's ears, but that hardly counts)

well done!  <parakeets roasting on an open fire>

Yes I like a nice fire of mahagony inlayed with lapis and mother of pearl.
Such lovely flames, I find LouisXVI furniture burns very well.


#13 of 30 by orinoco on Sun Feb 8 04:32:10 1998:

Not quite so well as old Louis himself, however.


#14 of 30 by font on Tue Feb 10 12:38:51 1998:

Aww louie louie, ohh yeah....
<why  not *all* of them?>

Because then the neighbors would feel bad that they weren't invited, silly.
;)


#16 of 30 by orinoco on Mon Mar 2 03:24:23 1998:

So bring 'em all in.

For tea and scones and flammable furniture.
Those brits were right on.

Now we just need some decorative coffee spoons.


#17 of 30 by snowth on Mon Mar 2 05:43:37 1998:

Oh! Oh oh oh! Can we get the ones with chocolate on the end? Can we? Can we?
Please! Please?


#18 of 30 by orinoco on Wed Mar 4 03:21:17 1998:








Yes.











#19 of 30 by font on Mon Mar 9 05:45:27 1998:

I want lava lamps.


#20 of 30 by orinoco on Mon Mar 9 20:02:51 1998:

but they're so dang expensive.

Better to use drippy Grammar Bitch candles.

re:  5:  A British custom, which I wish was imported to America, is the 
right to hike across private land.  Please remember to close the gate
so the sheep don't get out.


#23 of 30 by orinoco on Wed Mar 25 03:07:41 1998:

Is it that the brits don't tend to mind as much if you tresspass, or is it
that you can't get in trouble for it if you don't do any damage?


#24 of 30 by raven on Wed Mar 25 05:38:45 1998:

Probably it has something to do with the fact that Britain used to have a
commons that was "enclosed" sometimes in the (1600s?).  Some rights probably
still pertain to commoners.


#25 of 30 by font on Sun Mar 29 08:52:10 1998:

Wow...they do that in Sweeden too...you can even camp on other people's
private property, provided you don't do any damage.

Well, you see, in Britain, there is a whole lot of farm land, packed right
next to eachother.  Saddly, enough, this farmland is often woefully misplaced,
and the best way to get from point A to poind B (or point Q, if you prefer)
is to go through the farmland, and watch out for seep turds.  Strangly, I know
this from experience, wh doesn't nessecarilly mean I'm not talking out of my
ass, but only serves to make it somewhat less likely.
Any, that's what I recall of the situation, 'though it should be noted that
most of these memories come from when I was Eight years old.


#27 of 30 by orinoco on Sun Mar 29 23:01:53 1998:

Seep Turds?  I didn't know they had seep farms in Britain.  Wrong climate for
them.  It's a wonder they can make a living that way.


#28 of 30 by teflon on Mon Mar 30 01:14:06 1998:

Shaddap, or I'll show you for the Naug you really are!


#29 of 30 by font on Wed Apr 1 07:09:50 1998:

Hmmm...seeps...I wonder what kind of animal they are...amoeba like?  What sort
of thing could you harvest from them to take to market?  I guess that's where
agar-agar comes from, or perhaps the jell in jelly.  The innards of seeps.
(funny, I've never knowingly stepped in amoeba turds...I wonder what they
are like...must be bad considering you want ot avoid them)

I'm not sure it's worth considering at all...
