They had their clothes on......

True story ! Many years ago DW and I were at a resort in PA. when a guy from Fla. was promoting a dream of a super nudist resort near Tampa . The guy and his wife were flat broke and his tran. failed on his motor home and he was asking for money to get back to Fla . Roll the clock forward he got investors and it became Paradise Lakes . From a dream WOW.


The history of the Fla. Nudist resorts is remarkable !

I was wondering when he was going to make his appearance. It’s real, and has no counterpart on the “list of reasons not to live in Texas”. You can minimize risk of floods and hurricanes by moving away from the coastal areas, but there is no escaping Florida Man.

What about the equivalent Texans?

 

[Breedlove]

Dtail : I believe the original owner of Paradise Lakes , the poor couple built a home on the grounds a special glass home value 800K . Seems they did a special on TV . If you ever want to read a fun history of the U S . The history of social Nudism is so interesting.

There is a whole book called "Oh, Florida!" with stories like that. Pretty entertaining in audio book format. Got it from the library. Author Craig Pittman.

You're right, that was a good one.

I also liked the one about the guy who threatened people with Coldplay lyrics. lol. You can tell the journalists are having fun with the headlines.

In order to not be called sexist, you should also talk about "Florida Woman". Just a quick Web search, and here are some headlines.

About the use of Coldplay lyrics as a weapon, here are some details.

A Florida man accused of threatening his family by texting them Coldplay lyrics, and warning them of retribution from his “Nazi prison associates” was persuaded by police to end a standoff in return for a fresh slice of pizza, reports say.

Evan Charles McLemore, under the belief that SWAT team negotiators were ready to hand him one of America’s favorite foods, was taken into custody Tuesday following a 4-hour confrontation at a Pensacola home.

"Never underestimate the power of pizza with flavored crust," the Pensacola Police Department wrote on Facebook, while adding officers “cannot comment on the rumors about pineapple being on said pizza - Operational Security and all that.”

The newspaper says the incident unfolded after police initially responded to a call about a possible battery and reportedly learned McLemore had barricaded himself inside a room at the home. The suspect, it added, had called out that “he had a gun to his head, and he was not going back to prison, no matter what it took.”

After numerous attempts to lure McLemore out of the room proved unsuccessful, SWAT was called in and they deployed the big guns: the promise of pizza.

About the above story, it was true. It would be hard to make it up. One needs a very creative mind.

Jan 15, 2019 - News10 ABC

A Florida man is facing assault and battery charges after deputies say he attacked his neighbors with a machete that had the word “kindness” written on it.

Santa Rosa County deputies arrested 30-year-old Bryan Duane Stewart last week.

Neighbors told deputies they heard banging and yelling coming from the man’s house all Wednesday. Stewart was also overheard saying he was going to “kill ’em with kindness,” an arrest report says.

Just before midnight, one neighbor decided to go over and check on things and ask Stewart to keep it down. The man told deputies Stewart came running out of his front door with a machete-style knife that had the word “kindness” written on the blade.

Another neighbor who saw what was happening stepped in to protect the other man and ended up getting cut on his hand, deputies say.

Deputies responded to the scene and used a taser on Stewart to take him into custody...

This is just in.

"Florida man contracts flesh-eating bacteria without even touching water"

Yikes!!! He had contracted vibrio, a bacteria found in warm brackish water.

You will have to decide if Texas is a safer place, despite REWahoo's long list of hazards.

Remember the Florida woman that pulled an alligator out of her yoga pants during a routine traffic stop?

I included the above bizarre story in this post.

Hurricanes that hit that area on a consistent bases would keep me from wanting to live there. The good things about living there still wouldn't want me to live there.

Good luck in the recent destruction.

I'm not sure if this measures up to the rest of these Florida stories, but last winter when DW and I were snowbirding in The Villages, there was a news article about a couple who were arrested around 5 AM, copulating on one of those large green metal boxes that hold electrical stuff for public utilities.
When arrested, the man said, "well, we didn't have anyplace we could go..."
