Huh?
When did hitchhiking become a felony
Who's crazy nanny brain thought that one up?
I believe that's my hey. Hey!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Nothing in that article says anything about him being charged with a felony.

You can't be accused of hitchiking, stupidity yes, but not hitchiking.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Up until about a month or two ago, when it was rebranded
Augh! What happened to it????
They're calling them Almond Snickers now.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I think it's more the fraudulant (which I seem to be unable to spell) behaviour that's the problem - the whole pretending-to-be-a-round-the-world-runner-and-using-this-as-a-pretext-for-getting-strangers-to-give-him-stuff deal. Not the hitchiking per se, but rather the lying and the deceiving people into supporting him.
Or at least, that was my interpretation.

In the US, it's illegal to hitchhike in quite a few states and you can indeed be picked up by the police for it.

Yes, it's illegal to hitchhike in some places. Dunno about Oz, but he was being all fraud-y. And loudly ignoring Dana when she's being calm, reasonable, and right? Kinda rude.

OH! Ok. Well, that's fine then. :)

moonlit - from a gajillion posts ago, that's exactly the type of information I was looking for, but I think time and tide have taken the reason for asking far away from me. But thank you. I think I'm learning more just reading your posts than I ever have.

You're welcome Cindy, and I am still really sorry that I offended you a couple of weeks ago with the moi aussi comment, as you have hopefully realised by now it was never my intention.
