I have two Nepenthes that I'm having trouble finding a spot indoors for them to spend the winter. Help me out and win one so you can give it a good home.
Number 1. Nepenthes "Lady Luck", grown from a vine cutting, originally from Shadowtski. It's a couple of years old, and it just activated a second growth point this year. This one is probably due for a repot.
Number A. Nepenthes ventrata, rooted basal, obtained in a trade with Blackfeather666 (I still say I got the better end of that trade). It's growing very well on my windowsill, but it'll quickly run out of room once I bring the rest in.
There could be two winners, or one person could win both.
Open to US addresses only, live plants after all.
Winner pays postage, probably around $8-$10. I'll have to let you know after I send them, payable through PayPal F&F.
Enter by posting a verifiable dumb law. It can be from any state, county, or city, but include where it's from or post a link to the source. You then say which one you'd like by ending with a 1 (Lady Luck) order an A (ventrata). You can then post a second dumb law to enter in the drawing for the other. These must be separate posts. If they're together in the same post, you'll be disqualified. You can only enter each one once.
Edit: If you post one that has already been shared, that one doesn't count, and you're invited to find another.
Examples:
In Pennsylvania, it is illegal for a married man to buy alcohol without written permission from his wife. 1
In Salt Lake City, Utah, it is illegal to walk down the street carrying a violin in a paper bag. A
After a week or so, or at a time I arbitrarily choose (probably not too long in order to try and avoid cold weather), entries will stop and the voting will begin, and you'll vote by liking a dumb law. I suggest you do not vote until the entries are all in, as you can only vote for one. Voting for your own entry is allowed. If you vote more than once, the first post in chronological order of the posts will be considered your vote, the rest will be disregarded. So hold your vote until voting begins to cast your vote for the one you really want to vote for.
Edit: You can only vote once for a 1 and once for an A.
After another arbitrary amount of time, I'll announce that there is an arbitrary amount of time (24, 48, 35, or possibly 19 hours) left to vote before it closes. These rules and procedures are not absolute, and can be amended as the giveaway progresses if an issue becomes apparent. Please keep chatter out of the giveaway thread, I'll open another thread for discussions and questions.
Aaaaand, gimme your dumb laws!

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that I make bad decisions.
