  1. Florida Man reminds me of the story in Rocket Girl about the guy who kept sampling the rocket fuel from the early Redstone program. I suppose one does need to test for purity from time-to-time.

    1. That’s why we used isopropyl alcohol for the Ez-Rocket, somehow it has much lower vapor pressure.

  2. I’ve lived in Florida for over half a century. If it was that bad, I would have moved.

  3. Texas has alligators too. Also tornadoes and real weather. 97° today and it just gets hotter until the middle of September. Colorado is much better for New Yorkers and Californians. Open carry too. Better stay away. (not Rand)

  4. What was that…thing in the article’s lead picture? I found the first glace so repulsive that I had to quickly scroll past it.

    I wish bloggers, click bait sites, and some advertisers would refrain from posting truly horrifying photographs, even fake ones.

    1. Just a gator in a swamp, there’s a lot worse images than that out there in the wild world 🙂 .

  7. I got my Bachelors degrees at University of Florida then went to work at Pratt & Whitney in West Palm Beach. P&W was great but I hated every second I was in Florida and couldn’t wait until I could move back North.

  8. One Florida man suggests handing out “Don’t New York My Florida” T-shirts at the Fort Lauderdale airport — but I say that’s too late.

    YAFO: [New] York Around, Find Out.

  9. Southern fiancé of a friend’s niece came to visit their lake house and was blown away that he could just get in the water and swim with no worry about anything trying to get him.

    Unfortunately, all of our tricks failed and the area is crawling with commies.

  11. Ah, gators like their wetlands, and even though Turkey Creek is only 600 feet away from my house, the gators don’t bother to climb the riverbank into my neighborhood, there’s nothing to eat here. They are always snoozing when I kayak on the creek, looking like cast off tires.

    1. I think it’s amazing we are so fortunate to have living dinosaurs amongst us. However, still, I prefer living north of their habitation zone.

  12. When the flight from the Democrat cities and states became too big to ignore, I saw an interview with a politician from a southern Red state. It might have been Tennessee, where I’m headed next year. Anyway, the reporter asked him if he was concerned that people from those states would bring their politics, and ruin his state. His reply was: “We tell everyone who moves here from a Blue state to keep one thing in mind: they are a refuge, not a missionary.”
