    We had a used toilet full of beer at NWAA Smackdown this year. The best part was the other car clubs' members pulling it (PBR light, eew) out of the ice and drinking it. Why would anyone drink beer from a toilet is beyond me. #penalties

    Here's the problem with California - it's so big, you have plenty of both bed-wetting, self obsessed liberals AND gun-toting, flag waving conservatives. You need a penalty that encompasses things all Californians hate; high property taxes, low property values, overpriced gasoline, and horrible traffic. Yeah, this could work in most states but these problems are very acute out west.

    Make the teams push their cars in a bumper-to-bumper fashion while the driver reads the California foreclosure listings for the week. I know, the idea needs work, but something along that line will piss off pretty much everyone. #penalties

    For California, we need to have miscreants paint a Confederate battle flag on the roof of their car; then, they should have to wire in a horn that plays "Dixie." Or just put a Confederate battle flag on the car. Or a Texas flag. Or the flag of any state east of the Rockies and south of the Mason-Dixon line.
    Ironically, all the California raceways LeMons frequents (except Infineon, where they won't be racing until next year) are in California's more rural and conservative areas. My mother grew up about 45 minutes away from Thunderhill, and I saw my first "Palin 2012" sign (spray-painted, of course) last year when we went up there for Thanksgiving. #penalties

    George W. Bush penalty. Make them put on a cowboy hat, adopt a horrid "Texas" accent, and clear brush while dodging questions about why they're being penalized. #penalties

    No, you give them Union workers as a Pit Crew. Not only will nothing get fixed, they'll be charged double! For extra punishment have them sprinkle in "That's not my job" to every repair request. #penalties

    My suggestion for an Arse Freeze-A-Palooza penalty is a Sheriff Joe Arpaio inspired chain gang.

    Ever more brilliant penalties. The haiku is especially nice.

    And as for California, why, have them argue that global warming is a myth while waiting for an ice cube to melt on their heads.

    Eat some steak tartare and argue against legalized pot.

    Give them striped shirts and make them lip synch Beach Boys hits... #penalties

    That's actually the first time that I've read about the WV Homesteader Penalty. I really don't know whether to laugh or cry. I'm reading this from my trailer, in a trailer park, in West Virginia, with my Neon up on jackstands in the driveway in the middle of a lower control arm hell project. I think I'll have another beer. #penalties

    The glen beck... have to convince someone (of the judges choosing) on how their infraction was not their fault but the fault of 3 other teems that are in conjunction to destroy America. If this person is not convinced, they have to SCREAM for a total of 3 minutes about the dangers of acorn.

    In California, make a miscreant teach someone how to field strip and then reassemble an AK or AR pattern rifle. It's best if the student is afraid of guns, or is at very least totally ignorant of how they work. To get back out on track, the teacher must do a good enough job that the student can perform the task with no hands-on assistance.

    This would be especially effective if the person getting penalized is also ignorant of how guns work, and must first teach themselves from military issued instructional materials. #penalties

    @Clown Shoe Pilot: This could work in Texas as well- we make them assemble 10 AKs from a crate of mixed-up parts, in the back of a Toyota Hilux being driven over a lot strewn with cinder blocks while being screamed at in Pashtu. We could call it "The Taliban Penalty." #penalties
