Today is a day for humor, sweetnesses. Adri has had a bad few days and is not in the mood to rant, rave, spout doom and gloom, and otherwise froth over the ills of society, culture, politics, and the pathetic farce that is our upcoming presidential election. So today, kids, we are going to talk about a little Texas TMI that will probably make every woman, gay or straight, and quite a few gay guys breathe a heavy sigh of relief.

You see, my little petroleum-based lubrication products of love, up until very recently it has been illegal to sell sex toys in the state of Texas. It has also been illegal to carry more than six on your person, as carrying more than six is considered intent to distribute. Should the police raid the bamboo storage cube in my bedroom, they would likely find enough evidence to have me carted off to jail and then dealt a hefty fine probably worth ten times the value of the items confiscated as exhibits A through Z.

Now that you know a little too much about me, though, perhaps you wonder: how do people in the state of Texas obtain sex toys? One way is to order online. Another is to visit a variety of “education” shops, as the lovely Dildo Diaries so wonderfully demonstrate:

 
If you’re done giggling yourself silly, you may be asking yourself, “Where’s he going with this? Oh, sure, it’s a little bit of amusing trivia about the state that, not surprisingly, spawned George W. Bush, but where’s the news? What’s his point?”

My point, sweetlings, darlings, lovebunnies, my fuzz-tailed wobbling konijtnje, is that the Federal Appeals Court has overturned Texas law and now made it legal to sell “educational products” in Texas.

Dildo lovers, rejoice. Your world is saved.[/sarcasm]

Cry foul, Energizer, for there’s a sudden battery shortage in the state of Texas!
