STATEMENT OF PURPOSE/FISCAL NOTE HCR 29




Dang

Trelach24

I can't believe Napoleon catching a delicious bass wasn't honored

Joe Molotov

Lucky!

PopcornTreeCt

Guess they weren't fans of My Own Private Idaho.

Matthew Chmiel

They're just honoring Napoleon because of his sweet skills.

Cameron

who knows when Idaho will need to call upon someone with computer hacking skills, or bow staff skills....gosh

The Bus

Last week, Japanese scientists explaced- placed explosive detonators at the bottom of Lake Loch Ness to blow Napoleon Dynamite out of the water. Floor sponsor Terry Bradford summoned the help of Idaho's local wizards to cast a protective spell over the film and it's local residents and all those who seek for the peaceful existence of our eccentric ally.

Squirrel God

I bet it took them like three hours to finish the shading on the top of that Bill. It's probably the best they've ever done.

freudguy

Another step towards blending the borders between fiction and reality. BTW, anybody got any chapstick?

Hmm, they bill doesn't mention how the movie promotes livestock/beef commerce (i.e. the steak).

woofman

I don't understand a word you just said.

Michael Ballack

Isn't Napolean Dynamite kind of making fun of places like Idaho? Sort of funny how they are honoring it.

Jepthah

So that's what the busy Idaho legislature does with its taxpayer-funded time.

Squirrel God

Don't worry. Pedro will change the system.

VOTE FOR PEDRO.

Nazgul

40 WHEREAS, the prevalence of cooked steak as a primary food group pays tribute to Idaho's beef industry

freudguy

Ah, I missed that one.

The Bus

If I remember, the filmmakers are actually from Idaho (or one of them really empty states).

NatrlBornThrllr

They're pretty much the best legislature that I know of.

-JP

Michael Ballack

I thought they were from Utah. It's all the same to me anyways. Unless you're from Chicago, LA, or NY, you're just another fly over state to me.

jeffkjoe

Napoleon Dyanmite is probably being honored in Idaho, cause let's face it:

Is there ANY other movie that takes place in Idaho???

NatrlBornThrllr

Houston and Miami be damned.

10 WHEREAS, filmmaker Jared Hess is a native Idahoan who was educated in the
11 Idaho public school system; and

-JP

Michael Ballack

Houston is part of Texas. Texas is another planet. Miami is Cuba.

gmal2003

Idaho can do whatever they feel like! God!!!

The Bus

That's what New Yorkers and Californians say about Chicago...
