Welcome Alexis!

I greet you with the kitty cat


PS: I dig your "mans" fastback miata, mines better of course.

 

This is my favorite sign in Florida.

 

Welcome OP, good to have another person from Florida

 

From my years at UF, I recall there being some particular strip joint in the Ocala-ish area which had billboards leading up to it for probably a hundred miles in either direction on I-75. The thing which I recall most is that they tended to advertize things like "Truckers Welcome!" and "Truck Parking!"

Now, I have nothing but respect for most of the OTR drivers I've met over the years, but seeing billboards like that conjures up a certain mental image...

 

Haha I'm not sure I've you've ever gone south enough but somewhere in between Tampa and fort Myers there's a gigantic confederate flag....on the corner of Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd

 

Haha!

I actually grew up in Port Charlotte, which is pretty much exactly between Tampa and Ft. Myers. I'm not sure which MLK you mean, though (eg: which town?) There are quite a few down there.

It's been close to 20 years since I left- presumably this is a more a recent phenomenon?

 

Cafe Risque - a Florida historical landmark.

 

Yup, that's the one. Couldn't remember the name for the life of me.



For all I know, it might be the classiest strip club in the world, but I never quite wanted to find out.

 

People from florida are ******* weird.

 

Aren't turbocharged Miatas adult toys?

 

Speaking as someone who lived there until my early 20s (and still fly back on the holidays to visit family) I don't think you can appreciate just how accurate that remark is.

 

Yeah but it's home to The World's Greatest Superhero.

 

Ah, yes. I read about his heroics (as well as those of his sidekick, Florida Woman) quite often.

 

I dislike it here. We are pretty weird.

 

Keep it mind many people are from another state, I'm born and raised in Florida ( what we call a Florida cracker) and I'm pretty normal

 

However I will admit there are a lot of weird people here

 

On the northwest corner of where US Highway 92 crosses under I-75, there is an old confederate cemetery with a very large flagpole. It is just south of the interchange for I-4 and just north of the interchange for Dr. MLK, Jr. Boulevard (formerly known as Buffalo Boulevard), near Tampa. For several years that pole displayed an extraordinarily large Confederate battle flag but has been flying the third national flag of the Confederacy for about a year now.

There is another large flag hundreds of miles further north alongside I-75 at High Springs, FL, north of I-10 on a commercial property with an abandoned hotel. That flag is not as large as the one at the cemetery.

And yes, the VAST MAJORITY of the weirdo people in Florida showed up here because they couldn't make it somewhere else in America and decided to up and move down here. We get all of the trash out of Michigan, Ohio, Illannoyed, New York, New Jersey, etc., lol. Ask any stripper and I bet she will be not more than one generation removed from somewhere else. Well, some of the younger ones might be two generations since their grandparents moved here 20 years ago.

Real Floridian families that have been here since before the 1950s are mostly country folk, cattle ranchers and such.

 

We have a girl on the forum?

Alright alright let me think about this.

Ok here we go i got one.

I shaved my ***** the other day, i posted a pic of it in the kitten and cat thread.

The ball is in your court now.

 

I'm sure you could find something to look at in my photobucket or tumblr.

 

I just realized I have a 6 page intro thread? Jesus.
