Thursday Florida Cracker Open Comments

In honor of our host, we have a roundup of weird news items from everyone’s favorite loony-bin:

Florida lived up to its reputation for being an odd state in 2010, with residents committing stupid crimes, making poor decisions and exhibiting general weirdness.
.
There was the man pulled over in Manatee County who claimed the crack in his crack wasn’t his. Officers found bags of marijuana and crack cocaine stuffed between the man’s butt cheeks. He said the pot was his but “the white stuff is not mine.”

How big was his posterior buttockal area that he could fit “bags” of weed & booger sugar in is posterior vertical smile?

They also managed to keep various bomb squads busy:

Threatening items that bomb squads had to handle this year included a box with two kittens in Cocoa and a stuffed pony in Orange County. Authorities blew up the stuffed pony, but spared the kittens. A Melbourne street was shut down for three hours, the time it took the bomb squad to figure out the flashing object in the middle of the street was a restaurant pager.

Get back, or I swear I’ll page you!

Nor was odd news limited to the living. A family honoring a relative’s dying wish gave him a burial at sea, only to have the body resurface off a Fort Lauderdale beach.

Must have been a drifter.

The original Mormon Martini is water over ice cubes. 😉
I mix it up with soda, tonic water, spring, branch water with a twist of lime or lemon.

Please understand that I have no issue with reasonable religious practices.

Heh. A definition is probably in order.

Reasonable – accepting of anything that Bible-believing Christians would find abhorrent.

Through my many years of self debauchery/debasement I have completely disproved the theory of

“Beer before liquor, never sicker, liquor before beer, never fear”

I also found that the best remedy for hangovers, next to the passage of time, is woofing pure oxygen combined with a shot in the arse of vitamin B12.

I’m watching Magnum, P.I. I forgot how good Tom Selleck’s legs were. Especially in those short shorts so popular back when the series was current.

And Carol Burnett is in this episode!

GOProud Chairman gets better of MSNBC Host

Darren, I luv ya man, but sometimes, actually often, I think we should agree to disagree rather than hammer out details related to the minutia of specific issues. Please understand that I have no issue with reasonable religious practices. My major beef is with authoritarian governments and those that promote and expand that authoritah, be they “liberal” or “conservative.” Thanks… Read more »
