Another reason not to live in Florida
 
Quote:

"Last year, we caught 95 pythons," said Skip Snow, a biologist with Florida Everglades National Park. That's not counting the 13-footer that exploded after trying to eat an alligator, or two others that got loose and ate a Siamese cat and a turkey.

Not to live here? Are you kidding? This is one of many aspects that make this state constantly entertaining! This shit is hilarious!

And if the pythons don't get Kitsune, the iguanas will! And here we thought all Floridians had to worry about was hurricanes and boat people! :lol:

Looks like a busted link, Marichiko, but I know what you're talking about. Sadly, the monitor lizards haven't made it this far north, nor have the crocodiles, but it is simply a matter of time.

Lethal wildlife, serial killers, destructive hurricanes, and angry New Yorkers. Ah, Florida! :love: We were meant for each other!

People actually stop traffic rather than run over those slimey(yes they are) pythons? :eyebrow:

Sorry about the link, Kit. You can get to it just fine from a link given in the link in the OP, but I can't seem to make it work here. I have a friend whose roommate used to have a 3 foot monitor lizard that she let roam around the house. On cold nights, the lizard would get in bed with my friend. NOT her fav thing to wake up to! :eek:

Snakes taste great,
mo better than armadillo, possum, or washed up hurricane lost survivors/victims.

(not as good a Katrinas' gators.... they taste like frogs, i.e. chicken)

I don't mind the pythons or alligators, what I hate are these g'darn palmetto bugs :rar: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...eather/bug.jpg

No way! Dry'em up and those critters are as good as bay leaves.:yum:

Happy Monkey 04-25-2006 12:14 PM

As good as bay leaves at doing what? :worried:

The only bug that will fly directly at you in response to an attack or being sprayed.

Oh my GOD. What is that?
Palmetto bug.
W-what?
It's giant roach. ...with wings.

If every New Jersian were exposed to that wonder of Florida living, they'd never consider moving to The Sunshine State. Hurricanes don't scare off anyone, anymore.

You know... for seasoning the gators and possum and pythons all those other tasty free-range delicacies. :weird:

As a general rule, I tend to steer clear of states that have their own Fark tag.

Undertoad 04-25-2006 02:46 PM

I made one http://cellar.org/2006/pa.gif but I guess the state doesn't truly rate it
