Today in Florida...

[PunkKitty]

Lakeland man charged after eating pancakes in roadway, disrupting traffic

Where else would you eat them?

Florida fire started by book burning destroys two homes

Just plain nuts. Waffles are clearly the better choice.

Little known fact: John Lennon originally wrote "Why don't We Eat it in the Road?"

Florida fire started by book burning destroys two homes

Dort wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man auch am Ende Menschen.
Where they have burned books, they will end in burning human beings.

How does this surprise you after tens of millions of people voted for Donald Trump to be President? We’re living in a Simpsons episode. A dude eating pancakes in the road is just a sight gag in the background.

Eh. Florida gets a bad wrap. There's fucked up people everywhere.

One of the sports radio stations in Chicago has a show that does a daily police blotter segment called "Florida or Ohio?" - they read the story without mentioning the location, and the hosts/producers all guess which state. So there's that

No it doesn't. I lived there. Sure, your second assertion was accurate, but Florida wins the Gold Medal when it comes to WTF!

I think the heat, humidity, alligators, bugs etc just push people over the top.

Here in New England we have a local radio spot that pulls a story out of the news and highlights some bizarre event that happened in Florida....

Florida is just Texas with more alligators.

We are the third most populous state in the nation and have 100 million visitors a year. That means some strange shit goes down here. We also have sunshine laws so all arrests and police reports are public, so the shit makes the news more than in other states. Weird shit happens everywhere. We have a lot of it. I don't know if we have more than other places I have lived.

All that said, I'm not going to miss it when I move.

It still beats Jersey.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

It still beats Jersey.

That's a low bar.

 

[CBHScott]

It still beats Jersey.

Except for the parts that are like Jersey, Jr.

Central Florida is filled with hillbillies, tourists and cheap drugs. It gets every bit as weird as the reputation suggests.
