As part of the consent decree, Pagedale has agreed to repeal ordinances banning sagging pants, walking on the left side of the crosswalk, barbecuing in the front yard (unless it’s a national holiday), and walking in a roadway if a sidewalk is present. Also to be repealed: ordinances banning dish antennas, basketball hoops, volleyball nets, swimming or wading pools or other recreational equipment in the front of a house.
Back in 1969 I got nailed on one of those sidewalk violations. It actually went against my driving record. At the time I didn't even have a license, only a permit. It helped prevent me from attaining my license until I reached the age of majority. Fuckin' Lozangeles, man.
That was almost 50 years ago. It was on Pacific Ave in Playa del Rey, and for whatever reason, LA Metro was out busting heads in the affluent 'burbs. I was just an appetizer.
Yeah, I wasn't guilty either. I was walking down the sidewalk, when I got surrounded and overwhelmed by a herd of people who were spilling out into the street. We all got the same ticket, must've been a dozen of us. It was only $5, but in 69, that was a hard hit on my busboy wages.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
Don't forget the mismatched curtains!

Wait–they enforce those here? In my twelve years of living in Los Angeles I've never heard that before. Thanks for the heads-up!

|Also not a comedy sketch. The U.S. government is set to borrow nearly $1 trillion this year, an 84 percent jump from last year|
Have a nice evening 'Villians.
But there's an upside.

If I had an extra $1.50/week, I'd go out and start a steel mill!
I only get $0.80.
How is this #MAGA?
In this way: we'll soon be too poor to keep paying those lavish Medicare, Medicaid and Soshecurity benefits. It'll be great!
Um, we'll blame this one on Obama and the Dems.
Yup, same way they caused the Dow to drop 666 points yesterday.

And the other 6.6% of the population are the cops, judges, and county clerks.
