Say what you want about Alabama… go ahead. Say what you want. I’ll wait.

Anyway, I’ll say this about Alabama. They take their sex shop shopping experience SERIOUSLY. Take for example Pleasures sex shop in Huntsville, which has just opened up the world’s first three-lane drive through. Because… because… people are really nervous about the upcoming lube drought.
Seriously, did you know that Alabama is the last state in the union to still have a sex toy ban? You can’t buy a Hitachi Magic Wand there, unless it’s for “a bona fide medical, scientific, educational, legislative, judicial or law enforcement purpose.” And customers have to fill out “a medical questionnaire describing the health-related reasons for their purchase.”
GAHHHH!! Read more about it here, and thank your lucky stars you live in Portland where you can walk into almost any Fred Meyer and purchase one of these:
Oregon and Alabama aren’t all that different: the commenters on AL.com are just as witty as the ones on Oregon Live.
“3201tb: Instead of fries, they will ask ‘would you like batteries with your order’ then for .25 cents more you can get Mega~sized,,,,LOL!”
Of course you’re from Alabama. Your favorite things:
1. whisky bar
2. pretty boy
3. little dollar
If you are truly from Alabama, then you know that Huntsville, is in fact the hippy, liberal city of the state. There they embrace micro-brews instead of rejecting them as the spawn of coastal elites. There, art festivals have, in the past, featured actual art and not just the one and a half surviving members of Lynyrd Skynyrd. There, the state parks are lauded for their recreational and environmental value, and not just as a source of cheap timber.
Truly, it is almost bearable to go home.
But you can marry your sister, so it balances out.
@jackrabbit You’re totally right that Huntsville is the hippy, liberal city of Alabama. I grew up an hour to the west. I’m truly grateful that I never needed a sex shop until college in Georgia. However, only in Alabama would you convert an old bank into a drive through sex shop. Win.
