    Yeah see shit like this is why I raise a brow in suspicion at the claim that Florida doesn’t have crazier people it’s crazy people are just better publicized.

    You cannot deny that there is genuinely a unique sort of crazy that gets afoot specifically in the conditions that florida as an eco system promotes.

      High heat, humidity, and bath salts. It’s a winning combination!

    I’m sure by now there’s a movement to eat as many armadillos as possible to intentionally get leprosy to own the libs.

        Antibiotics can cure the ailment in a year or two

        Can you imagine the state of one’s colon after two years of antibiotics?

        I didn’t leave by choice. It was a confluence of personal events that led to me losing my apt, and the only help I could get was family who demanded I move to Florida to get it— then abandoned me as soon as I got here, the swines.

        Also, you didn’t really see NYC. You saw the shit part that New Yorkers avoid like the plague.

                Intentionally pretending not to understand something that’s clearly stated and smugly acting like you didn’t do anything wrong isn’t clever, it’s trolling.

                Go ruin some else’s day.

    Cop: Ma’am, your BAC is .04, why were you driving so fast.

    Florida woman: I’m getting married to a ferris wheel and I was trying to shave my legs on the way.

            it’s like 20 short videos combined into one. The Florida saga is like a ten year long running joke at this point.

    Leaves you wondering though.

    Are people eating armadillos because they’re poor and it’s available, or is this some secret delicacy that just hasn’t caught on yet? Yes, I’ve probably got some Florida blood hiding in the family tree somewhere…

      People eat raccoons, rabbits, squirrel, and possum too. They’re all traditional small game in the Americas that have a history of being hunted for (probably) milenia. According to google (for what that’s worth nowadays) armadillo is rich and has a similar flavor to pork

        We’re supposed to be discouraging the armadillo eating.

          You know, so we can not go there.
