Meanwhile, in Florida...

[pErvinalia]

It's impossible to separate fact from fiction when it comes to Florida..

That's why noting sources comes in handy.

[laklak]

Florida, the if it isn't true it should be state. Flesh eating bath salt zombies, genital torching ravers - six and two threes.

[Svartalf]

the problem with Fla is that the Onion is often less interesting than the truth...

[Scot Dutchy]

I agree with that. The Onion is not even satire.

Today's Vibrio is posthumously awarded to an unnamed gentleman from the Orlando area, who jumped into a retention pond while fleeing police and drowned. One wonders why someone would jump into a pond if they couldn't swim. There is no information on whether or not he had already reproduced, so we cannot also award a Darwin.

Thrift Store in Sarasota receives a donation of 4.6 pounds of marijuana. That's how we roll here on the Suncoast, nothing is too good for our less fortunate brothers and sisters (and uncertains).

Actually thrift stores here are fucking great, because of all the rich people. I've gotten some great deals. Bought an original set of 60s Pyrex bakeware in perfect condition for 8 bucks, and a near new double sided stainless fridge/freezer for $100. You can find Armani and Calvin Klein suits for $25.

[Sean Hayden]

Fuck me! It's rare to get a good deal here. I wish I'd known you live in Sarasota, I was there not that long ago.

Lak, in Oz there was a rather weird writer, Robert G. Barrett (now deceased) who wrote a series of funny and very non-PC books about a Sydney nightclub bouncer, petty criminal and all round nice guy called Les Norton. In one of his books (And de Fun Don't Done), Les goes on a trip to Florida, staying with someone in Sarasota. Mayhem ensues...

Well shit if you get back down thisaways we'll sink a few. We can Skype rEv and verbally abuse him.

Our Vibrio today goes to Kaitlyn Wolf, of Leesburg. Ms. Wolf's 3 year old son said a "bad word", so she gave him a "swirly". To give someone a swirly you hold them upside down and put their head in the toilet. Then you repeatedly flush the toilet. Ms. Wolf sent the video to a friend "for a laugh". She contends her son enjoyed his swirly and asked for more. Ms. Wolf claims the child isn't crying hysterically in the video, he's laughing. Leesburg police and DCS are investigating.

The video in the article is worth a squiz, she's such a Florida babe, a real keeper.

Giving toddlers swirlies is wrong?

Giving toddlers swirlies is wrong?

Who knew? The world's gone mad, I tell you, when you can't even swirly your own kid.

[Strontium Dog]

I love that she says the video was taken out of context. As if there's a proper context for waterboarding your toddler.

[Forty Two]

Well, let's not exaggerate. It's not "waterboarding." It's just dunking the top of the head in, but it's gross. I saw it done to people in college.
