Some states ban smiling in driver's license photos, but wearing a colander on one's head is apparently allowed.

A Massachusetts woman this week won the right to wear a colander on her head in her driver's license photo after citing religious reasons. Lindsay Miller identifies as a "Pastafarian" and member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, which some critics call a parody religion.

That picture emanates straight from Hell.

That picture is evil, and clearly straight from Hell.

H’mmmm, “Pastafarian” religion? I guess those are the followers of the “massspaghettieball god” that some folks speak of.

[GreyFriar]

I guess a colander is a ‘holely hat’ and thus ‘religious.’

I think the riggatonian denomination is too rigid and the cannellonians are full of it.

If so, then next time out the perfect head apparel here will be the angel food cake pan. Fits perfectly!! LOL

[GreyFriar]

Excellent observation :-)

You might mean a “muhammed-food” cake pan?

It’s a good thing as it warns the officer what he’s dealing with.

I hear ya. But I’m perfectly willing to give Tennessee a shot for my last decade or so. Just a little place where I can be left the heck alone.

Tennessee is a beautiful place. Sounds like a great plan!
