Did yall used to think we were generally pretty cool though off? I think that’s the sad thing here, Florida is like the cousin you kinda liked before they got hardcore into meth. Like you aren’t surprised they tried meth, they seemed the type, but they didn’t seem the type to mug grandma at a family reunion before stealing your mom’s Ritalin, but well here we are and now mom won’t be able to focus for the rest of the month, grandma can’t stop crying, and they just shot the cigarette pinata
I don’t think Florida has been cool at any point in my lifetime. They started meth before I was born, and by the time I was old enough to form memories they were most well known for “Florida Man.” You’d have to go back to the 80s to find a time when Florida was cool.
Florida has only ever been a punchline for as long as I’ve been around.
There are many amazing things that came from Florida and are still in Florida right now. But as a package deal, I certainly haven’t heard of a time where they’ve been above par.
Or would that technically be “below par”? Isn’t being under par the objective? I don’t know, I don’t play golf. Florida’s got acres of fucking golf courses, surely someone there could tell me the answer.
