Florida Man--(Not what you think!)

Nope, nothing too exciting.
Haven't been arrested since that horrible underage drinking rap in high school--even that was pretty boring, sorry.
Just new to DU.
Got an automail saying to intro myself in this forum--so yeah--Hi from Florida!

If I recall my high school years, it was the non-underage drinkers you had to watch out for. Not a popular position these days, I suspect.

And while I have you, do you know of any demonstrations planned for when Trump comes down to the BB&T center in about 9 days?

You are out in South Florida and come across a six-foot Eastern Diamondback.

You
A) slowly back out and high-tail it out of there
B) Pause to pull out your phone to find out the current bounty being offered
C) Realize it is a test and eager to show your bonafides, you throw caution to the wind, "praise God" and grab that snake for a bear-hug like the gift presented that it "obviously" is...


Note... We will evaluate your true "Florida Man" credentials based on your response.

Need more of us here to get rid of the trio of terribles, Scott, Rubio and DeSantis. Oh yes, also have to work on defeating that idiot clown Matt Gaetz representing the 4th District.

We're a pretty congenial bunch except during primaries. That's why we have a separate forum just for the primaires. But plenty of other interesting forums. Take a look over to the left hand side of the page. Sure you'll find several forums to grab your interest.

But you’ll love DU! Just learn to roll with the many jokes and jabs your state will get.

Welcome! I’m from New Mexico which most people forget is part of the US. Many even think it belongs to Mexico.

My sis lives in north-central Florida, outside of Tallahassee. The flora and fauna there are interesting.

Like Lochloosa I was also born in Tallahassee but I've lived all over the south from Maryland to Texas and back to central Florida now.


I've only spent one night in jail and that was in Garland, TX and only for an unpaid traffic ticket.
