Bainbridge Island, Wash., is a beautiful island community just across Puget Sound from Seattle.

But God help you if city authorities catch you eating cheese in City Hall on Friday.

Draconian incidents of nanny-state regulatory authority are a bit more tolerable if they’re short-lived and if the rule is enacted in the name of team loyalty:

By the authority vested in me as City Manager of the City of Bainbridge Island, Kitsap County, Washington, by the Revised Code of Washington and the Bainbridge Island Municipal Code, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. All executive branch departments and divisions of the Local Government shall authorize employees to celebrate Blue Friday on each Friday prior to any games of the Seattle Seahawks by wearing Seahawks jerseys, logo gear, team colors and gathering at lunch or breaks for tailgating type foods and non-alcoholic beverages.
Section 2. On Sunday, January 18, 2015, the Seattle Seahawks opponent in the NFC Championship game will be the Green Bay Packers, a.k.a. Cheeseheads. Fans of the Green Bay Packers are frequently seen wearing obnoxious wedge-shaped foam hats painted yellow.
Section 3. Due to the relationship between the Green Bay Packers, their fans, and cheese, the possession of and/or consumption of cheese or cheese flavored products shall be banned in Bainbridge Island City Hall on Friday, January 16, 2015.

Coming in a few weeks: A ban on New England clam chowder or Indiana sugar cream pies.

Don’t let the pretty scenery fool you; island officials are sniffing out disloyalty.
