While we may think that a culturally superior Charlottesville doesn’t face the strange laws of our Virginian relatives, but the truth hurts. This time it’s about Halloween, slugs and pool halls…
Trick or treating is illegal if you are over 12!
Sec. 17-8. Trick or treat visitations; special curfew on Halloween. (a) It shall be unlawful and a Class 1 misdemeanor for any person to appear on the streets, highways, public homes, private homes or public places in the city to make trick or treat visitations; except, that this subsection shall not apply to children twelve (12) years of age and under on Halloween night. [They have to do it before 10PM]
I would be impressed if you could actually fit a slug into a coin slot. That’s just gross.
Sec. 17-21. Deposit of slugs in change machine. (a) No person shall deposit or attempt to deposit in any change machine located in the city any slug, button or other device or substance as a substitute for a coin or bill of United States currency.
You can’t play pool if you are under 16 unless with a parent. Watch out, 15 year olds playing pool are uber-dangerous.
Sec. 3-1. Minors employed in or frequenting poolrooms or billiard saloons. (a) No minor under eighteen (18) years of age shall be employed in, play in, remain in or frequent any billiard saloon or poolroom; provided, however, a minor under sixteen (16) years of age may play billiards or pool in a public billiard saloon or poolroom if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian; and, provided further, that minors sixteen (16) and seventeen (17) years of age may frequent and play billiards or pool in a public poolroom or billiard saloon if such public poolroom or billiard saloon is situated on the first floor of the building in which it is located at approximately ground or sidewalk level with sufficient windows or clear glass fronts to afford an unobstructed view of the interior.

of course, Thor, being a male and ‘merican (i presume), you know that a “slug” in the usage of said regulation is a blank metal plate approximately the same size and weight as a quarter. they’re invaluable for fooling coke machines (the old ones) and pay phones (which appear to be extinct). I seem to remember using electrical box knock outs when i was young and the technology was a bit simpler.
oh so i guess this means it WAS legal for me to walk my dog dressed as spiderman, as long as i wasn’t going door-to-door begging for candy?

Really? People think that?
My.
Yes. SOB. that’s why they only serve “good beer” at OXO. Right, guys?
Where’d everybody go?
I saw them drinking the 2nd barrel spring Australian hop tasting at Blue Mountain.

I see dead people.
You’re a people.
@1 - We had this OLD Coke machine at the elementary school I went to in the Teacher’s Lounge. You used to be able to just reach in that thing and pull out delicious Coke goodness… the trick was sneaking into the lounge, doing the deed, and then getting out of there without being caught.
Also, no soda was allowed in school, so you had to listen to the siren call of that Coke all day… singing sweetly from your backpack (”Drink me! I’m so bubbly and good!”). If you made it to the bus and you had properly insulated your Coke you got to enjoy a somewhat cool Coke and be the envy of every other grubby little bastard on the bus.
