You folks seem more deeply disturbed with every game thread I read.

Feature, not a bug.

and then put him out of his misery?

Hardly! He has a remarkable high moral standard!

[Platoon]

Can confirm, did a gator boat tour in New Orleans last weekend. Turns out they don't care for beek jerky though, who knew.

 

Would make a great Messin with Sasquatch bit!

For a real take on the Florida experience one needs to read Tim Dorsey's series of books on Serge and Coleman. Serge, one of the most creative serial killers of all time is an expert on Florida history and traditions!

Speaking of serial killlers, they have to be close to extinction, right? I can't remember the last time I heard about one in recent memory. I guess that's a good thing we no longer have the Ted Bundy, Zodiac Killer, and Jeffrey Dahmer's of the world.

alligators with sharp teeth and strong jaws

 

And trousers. Don't forget the trousers.

I have never seen an alligator in trousers! I saw some in some very expensive loafers though!

An LA jury just convicted the Grim Sleeper.

Serial killers tend to try and keep things on the down low.

That's always been the downside to being a serial killer. The abrupt end to your career. But on the plus side, you don't need to spend a lot of time on long range financial planning!

They've been recruited by ISIS and the drug cartels.

Maybe you looked at Brian's writeup in the forums rather than the article. It's documented right there in the photo.

Brilliant! The topic of serials killers is intriguing to me. What they did to victims isn't the intriguing part, just to make it clear. I'm more fascinated as to how they got so messed up in the head to justify doing what they did.

We've all made and regretted that mistake.

Them, and the po-po too. "Somebody's targeting vulnerable black women? Well, let's make sure and keep an eye on this. No sense in alarming the public."

seems like no one recognizes the only reason florida even exists: air conditioning.

A sufficient condition, but hardly necessary.

It also exists to provide ridiculous news stories that the rest of the country can shake their heads in unison to. Such as a brawl between dads at a little league game, a 6 month old girl setting a water skiing record, or a woman claiming she's playing "Mermaid" while swimming up to houses and robbing them. 

Florida is the gift that keeps on giving.

And Canada only exists because of the furnace!

Don't forget swamp land, pill mills, and extremely affordable health insurance. .

Lefty on the mound for the Marlins. I assume this means Arcia will start.

 

With his little use lately, I forgot he was on the roster.

[Craig Arko]

"Curiouser and curiouser!" Cried Alice (she was so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English).

[Vanimal46]

This guy is also my favorite Florida sports fan.

Though I must admit, I've caught myself doing the same thing watching the Twins on TV this year.

Years ago, okay, decades ago, I heard a news report about a business in San Francisco that was robbed by a guy wearing lime green bell-bottom pants and a purple jacket. The robber escaped by disappearing  into the crowd.....

Florida gives the rest of us the best weird crime stories.  I just saw this one:

 

"Cops: Man arrested on drug charges after hitting van with machete"

 

Well done, Florida.  Well done.
