Sparty & Friends was originally founded in New Jersey but we happen to have 3 authors that live in the Sunshine State, and one who grew up there. I actually lived in Florida for a few years, and really enjoyed my time living in warm weather year round.
One thing that I always got a kick out of was the weird and wacky newscasts in Florida. There were always strange stories being reported. To be quite honest, there are just a lot of stupid people that live in Floriduh.
You might have heard about people stealing jewlery and electronics to sell on the street to get money to pay for drugs and alcohol, but when was the last time you heard someone selling plants for beer money?
Cops killing criminals is usually a nightly story in NYC and Newark, usually the perp has a gun or a knife on him, not a fork.
Man claims to be Foreigner drummer, steals a car.
Not a Floriduh story, but if you are really thirsty…
A lot went on around here at S&Fs today, let’s see the progression on Hump Day.
Trey apologized for GITC falling off the stationary bike last night, and gave us our daily links in TMA.
Commenter du jour, SAE, gave us a scientific look at Brett Favre’s pathetic career.
