To quote Emmitt Smith "Oh... it's bad".

Such it is bad when people from other states e-mail me asking about the recent debate on the lifting of the ban on dancing in Des Moines.

Now, most of you thought that ruling went out when Kevin Bacon, Chris Penn, and friends took to the streets in '84; but sure enough, it's on the books.

To be fair, the ban on dancing here is only from 2am-6am, but sure enough, it's true. 

Come to think of it, I don't think I ever had the urge to dance that late.  It is possible that I may have danced up until that time, but 1) I'm an old geezer and 2) if you want to hang out past 2 here, you pretty much have to leave the city limits to do it.

Anyway, we don't need that kind of publicity.  Everybody thinks that there's a bunch of prudish squares here.

We have important things to take care of, like voting on whether we should have a butter sculpture of Jacko or not.  Also, removing fridges from in front of the courthouse.
