Florida, oh Florida. You make me sad.
I saw this online today: WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- A 6-year-old Florida boy who was accidentally left behind by his family after they celebrated his birthday at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant will temporarily remain in state custody.
As I said in an email to a dear friend, um WHAT?
His response made me laugh so hard I thought I'd shoot coffee out of my nose. He said:
Does Chuck E. Cheese sell liquor? Do they have a shoes/shirt policy? Last time I was in Florida, I witnessed a 300lb. mother at a Winn-Dixie (or was it a Piggly-Wiggly... Either way FUCKING RETARDED) beat the ever-living shit out of her roughly 8 year old son with her jelly shoe. Yes, her JELLY SHOE. The shopping cart was filled with Pop-Tarts and Diet Pepsi. These are the same people that go sport fishing with handguns.
I'm dying. DY-ING.

A Chuck-E-Cheese near Chicago was recently fined for selling alcohol to minors....That's why all those kids piss themselves in that huge bin of colored balls...

I have a very warm, nostalgic feeling about jelly shoes. Just not on the stumps of someone grossly overwieght.

I had a jelly PURSE to match my jelly shoes.
Yes...be jealous.

As a relative Newbie to Florida, Melissa, I've been studying the "landscape." And I hate to say it, but there are jelly-shoe beaters around every corner. Usually they can't beat too many people with the jelly shoes, 'cause it would take away from kissing their cousins. But civil public behavior is not a top priority for everyone in South Florida.

Hey, thanks for stopping by. Good luck with that noise complaint. I filed my share of those back in Milwaukee, before I came south. The concept of "Your music may be nice, but I don't want to hear it now...or ever in my house, necessarily" was never grasped by two of my neighbors.
