Brickbat: Axing for Permission

Utah's alcohol commission has denied beer licenses to a karaoke venue and a business that features axe-throwing based on a law that hasn't taken effect yet. The two businesses applied for licenses available to establishments that offer permitted "recreational amenities." The law currently defines a recreational amenity as a billiard parlor, bowling alley, golf course, miniature golf, golf driving range, tennis club, sports arena, concert venue or "substantially similar" activity. The Legislature earlier this year removed the "substantially similar" language, but the change doesn't take effect until May 14. "Though the law is not effective, the Legislature clearly has told us how they feel," said Commissioner Thomas Jacobson.

Sheesh.... I bet they denied the gun range's beer license too.....

Having done that exact axe throwing, beer swilling exercise I can you you are vastly overplaying the worry. Losing the bowling ball on the backstroke is just as dangerous.

It's odd because renaissance fairs have not only axe throwing, but archery and knife throwing, too. And nothing makes ogling fat women in corsets more amusing than drunken throwing sports.

Does that include dwarf related throwing activities...asking for a friend

[Kevin Smith]

And its not like they let you continue to throw if you're visibly intoxicated or in any way impaired. They'll cut you off both the booze and the axes

[Radioactive]

When do they cut off the fat women in corsets?

Losing the bowling ball on the backstroke is just as dangerous.

As someone who's done the drinking and throwing sports thing since before it was cool, I disagree. You have to work exceedingly hard to hit yourself in the head with a bowling ball.

You’ve never met the crowd I hang around with...

She knows how to grip a handle.

[loveconstitution1789]

You should see what she does with her other hand.

[Azathoth!!]

She has a third hand?!!?

[Fist of Etiquette]

Like those cops who raided thecancer patient's hospital room for marijuana that had been voted legal but the law for which hadn't yet taken effect.

[AlmightyJB]

But they're protecting us from dangerous criminals.

You won't even think of the Disney children!

[Conchfritters]

Oh, so they go based on feelz now in Utah. Assholes.

Utah has always been authoritarian.

[ByteRot]

But if I can't be plastered, how am I supposed to really immerse myself in my coastal raiding northern European axe-throwing culture?

[Eddy]

Maybe I'm feeling particularly un-libertarian right now, but I'm not sure the govt should allow recreational drinking and recreational axe-throwing to mix.

[0x1000]

I would think insurance costs and general "hey, maybe we should just go somewhere there aren't drunk axe throwers hanging out" would take care of the problem.

[markm23]

If “hey, maybe we should just go somewhere there aren’t drunk axe throwers hanging out” doesn't take care of the problem, we need _many_ more Darwin Award winners.

[J W]

Think of it as evolution in action.
