Wow.

I do believe each and every one of those stories were featured right here on FARK.

Florida has certainly earned its badge.

FTFA: Marijuana was in the news a lot.

O Rly?

A doctor carrying a burrito and dressed as Captain America was arrested in Melbourne after grabbing a woman at a bar and fighting with her boyfriend.

my personal favorite

Largo police responded to a call about a bar disturbance, and when they arrived, a drunk man called 911 and asked a dispatcher for help because he was surrounded by police. "Our officers were standing there scratching their heads," one sergeant said.

I like that. I dunno why. The alligator one is full of win too.

My favorite also. The burrito really ties the story together.

evilgreg: My favorite also. The burrito really ties the story together.

yep. i wouldn't be half as good without the burrito.

gotta love that FLORIDA tag...

You gotta' admit there's hardly ever a dull day down here in America's penis.

Maybe the lack of heart-wrenchingly severe weather gives us too many opportunities to run amok?

HeeHee - Oh I have seen my share trust me...but there is so much warning and it actually just creates more opportunity for asshattery, IMO

Am thinking a nice 14 day blizzard might kick the foolishness right out of us for a while.

Orlando-area police gave away sneakers for people who turned in guns and got a little more than they expected when a man exchanged a 4-foot-long surface-to-air missile launcher for size-3 Reebok sneakers for his daughter.

I would at least asked for a couple more sneakers. This must be the guy that approved all those draft picks up in Minnesota go to the Cowboys for Hershel Walker.

I personally liked the one eyed gator story. Were Chubbs and Happy available for comment?

Winner in the comments after the story

"yes, makes me proud to be a member of the human race... we are such idiots.

as a floridian, believe me, the list is just the tip of the iceberg.

Subby fails.

It's an AP story.

Cewley: as a floridian, believe me, the list is just the tip of the iceberg.

I lived there for 10 years myself, once.

You're right.

In one of Hiaasen's books, I forget which, one of the Medical Examiners is credited with a theory that the further south one is, the more mutilated the bodies of murder victims are, because of the warmer weather.
