breakin' the law, breakin' the law
two dudes [lads, chaps, blokes] from england have decided to go on a quest to break as many of the silly american state laws that they can. it is both a virtue and a vice that the states have the power to create their own laws [google away for further information]. overall i think it's a virtue, but in the cases that it's not it is either scary or downright hilarious. here we have a clear case of the latter. from the guardian:
As US coast-to-coast crimewaves go, it is not in the league of Bonnie and Clyde. It lacks both violence and avarice and is further hindered by an overabundance of pre-publicity.look for them this summer in a town near you.
...
"Driving round the town square 100 times in Oxford, Mississippi, is going to take for ever because there are no roundabouts," he said. "And I'm rubbish at walking on my hands so crossing the street in Hartford, Connecticut, while walking on them is going to be very difficult."

typical of us to take the piss out of you, but really our laws are far more stupid than yours (apart from like.. gun laws and stuff)
they would be better off taking a trip to reading and urinating on their front wheel.

well, for the hartford one, can the one guy just hold the other's legs wheel-barrow style? or would that be quasi-legal?
