good.

also, the freep provides this list of prohibited items in the link. How many of these have you brought in?

  • Prohibited Items
  • All bags (including purses)
  • All bottles (including all types of water bottles)
  • Alcoholic beverages
  • Aerosol and spray cans
  • Animals (except service animals for persons with a disability)
  • Apparel or signage displaying profane or abusive language
  • Containers of any kind (including coolers, thermoses, cups, cans, flasks)
  • Flags and flagpoles
  • Food of any kind
  • Irritants
  • Projectiles (including footballs, Frisbees and beach balls)
  • Seat cushions containing any type of metal or those with pockets, zippers, storage slots, seat backs, arm rests, or attachments of any kind
  • Strollers
  • Video camera, tripods and selfie sticks
  • Umbrellas
  • Weapons
Not sure what an "irritant" is... is that like bringing a State fan with you?

whenever I see "do not do" lists, I imagine some idiot violating all of them at once, and crack myself up.
 
Selfie stick is the onky change

I think this whole selfie thing has gotten out of hand
 
No weapons? Dang it, I wanted to heft this baby into the Michigan Stadium.

Selfies and their sticks are incredibly annoying.

How about just not taking pictures all the time and remembering stuff you experienced with your eyes? And why is a 'selfie' all zoomed in on your face with a small, fuzzy Washington Monument in the background a good picture.

Just take a picture of the Monument and it's clear you were there.

I just posted this on Instagram.
 
"is that a selfie stick in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"
 
I notice "illegal drugs" are conspicuously omitted from the list.
 
I'm just glad we have Harbaugh so I don't have to ask the ticket taker if I can bring in my IV of vodka for offensive possessions.

I can get 7 of the items on that list with just one product.......the corndog(and the bag it comes in).
bags, food, animal, flagpole, projectile, selfie stick(need tape), and projectile.

I love corndogs.
 
My wife managed to bring in a couple beers in her little black backpack for program win #900 over State. In line my buddy noticed and told her she couldn't bring it in. Toss a Michigan zipped hoodie over the pack and in like flint.

Also, flasks ...a flag and corndogs.
 
Side note: Disney banned selfie sticks from their parks. Hundreds of them get confiscated every day (returned upon leaving). The nic Cast applied to them is "Narcissis-sticks".

Ironically my wife's friend who works for Disney is the biggest selfie taker we know. Hundreds of them ...she loves herself, some herself.
 
Good! I was in NYC over New Year's last year and the selfie sticks were way out of hand. The dumbest one I remember was this self-involved woman who was constantly staring at herself in her phone-on-a-stick while walking around the MOMA. I dunno, maybe put down the phone while you're in the midst of incredible art in a crowded museum? Dumbass.

BTW, I think irritant means pepper spray.

I have a flask, but I would usually grab a couple airline-sized mini bottles of whiskey at Campus Corner on the way there; totally inconspicuous, and no worries if they get confiscated.
 
Bill Shakespeare would be pissed off if he found out that selfie is a real word. Can't believe that was added to the dictionary.
