Okay, tell me we had a thread about the cone of shame, because I totally missed it if we did.

I tried to find the "vote" button for the headling reading "Shrimp boat finds ex-football player's leg floating in Florida" but I guess people aren't allowed to vote in Florida.

Typical.

This is why I love my home state. It's never boring.

We did indeed, back in May.  http://www.fark.com/comments/7096860/ Apparently-idea-of-making-misbeh a ving-students-wear-those-cone-thingies -that-dogs-wear-so-they-dont-che w-themselves-to-death-hasnt-gotten-old -for-teachers-in-Florida-Dug-sur renders

Seconded.

I wish my last name was "Case." If I had a son, I'd name him Justin.

Thirded.

//I'm still glad I got the hell out.

I miss Florida. Currently stuck in DC enjoying the never ending shades of gray and brown, in addition to the complete lack of taste.

I hope the cops who tased that guy (the one putting out the fire) get sued/fired/tasedintheeyes.

Who's counting?

Okay, I need to hear more about this wine....did you make it (have a recipe) or buy it (brand, location) I'm intrigued!

i hope they do random drug tests, cause you wouldn't want someone doing meth and shooing birds away. OR DO U??

article is overkill.....and a sad case of going after low hanging fruit.

Yeah.

This story has ever so much WTF.

From one of TFA's "[law] prohibits "molestation" (their words, not ours) of sea cows and carries a penalty of up to 60 days in jail or a $500 fine." I'm dying to know how they fined a manatee, much less tell them apart.

\this apparently is Ana Gloria Garcia Gutierrez =o

I guess I'd qualify #8 as "floriduh dumb" because there's just no farking way I'd do that job for less than $210,000.00 per year plus facility credit line for supplies. That's a two man job in the range of 60 hours or more per week. With the increased cost of personal insurance for the environment as well as extended liability and contract filing upon all businesses in the facility the price they listed is so low-ball as to be laughable.

Fact: the Florida tag exists because of the 2000 election debacle, not because of weird stories. Your hometown has been on the main page for drunken toddlers, unnecessary tazerings, and meth fueled melees.

Ahhh, Florida, you make the rest of the world seem saner by comparison

/don't change a thing, you keep comedians in business

Seriously - What could the cops have been thinking??

I don't actually believe Florida is real place. It's like the onion or 555 numbers, some made up thing by journalists in the US for ridiculous parody stories.

I have a relative who keeps insisting I visit him in Florida. But I feel it's an " Invasion of the Body Snatchers" setup, where as soon as I go to sleep I will be replaced by a crazy Florida copy of myself.

we are the fortunate ones, aren't we?
wouldn't trade it for anything.

oh it's a real place. the Baker Act is real too. it's a conspiracy to expunge the nation of unemployed pot smokers

Florida Tag folds arms across chest, nods and smiles in smug satisfaction.

The naked cannibal story wasn't #1? Florida, you're constantly outdoing yourselves.

No, it's perfectly safe. I've been there many, many, many times. Relax.

I must be blind or just clueless? Would somebody please explain the FSU fan face paint snafu?? I swear I just do not see what the problem is???

The perk is the traffic.

It's mirrored. So when she applied the paint in her bathroom mirror, she made it so SHE could see it correctly in the reflection.

It's kind of like that "It's left" "Left? My left or your left?" "Okay, My left, when I'm facing you."

Thanks, I guess I was over analyzing it and this being Fark I thought there had to be more to it than that?
