Oh, dear.

QuoteTwo years ago, Augustus Sol Invictus walked from central Florida to the Mojave Desert and spent a week fasting and praying, at times thinking he wouldn't survive. In a pagan ritual to give thanks when he returned home, he killed a goat and drank its blood.

Now that he's a candidate for U.S. Senate, the story is coming back to bite him.

The chairman of the Libertarian Party of Florida has resigned to call attention to Invictus' candidacy in hopes that other party leaders will denounce him. Adrian Wyllie, who was the Libertarian candidate for governor last year, says Invictus wants to lead a civil war, is trying to recruit neo-Nazis to the party and brutally and sadistically dismembered a goat.

Sol Invictus was a Roman Legion-favored deity worshiped by soldiers, much in the way Mithras was also favored as a martial god.

Sol Invictus was also a UK band that was controversial because it's founder had been part of the National Front. He later renounced any interest in the Front.

We don't say, "Arcadia" here in Arcadia. We say Desoto County. Arcadia's gotten a bad rep. for having a "Rodeo" every year, you don't have to recycle your garbage, and you can park a pick-up truck in your front driveway, like I do, without being labeled a villain. Too much. Clearly we're still living in the 18th century. You can also have a real gun, carry it, and even get married to it in some local churches. And eat everything that has a Gizzard or something close to it. Possums are the easiest to cook because you can just hang them by their tail over the fire. With a potatoe in their mouth.  :coolsmiley:

It would appear as though Star went out for a romantic dinner at Johnny Rockets the other night.

QuotePolice have arrested a woman who they say lay naked on a table at a South Beach diner and poured ketchup on herself.

Witnesses told Miami Beach police a topless Angelic Valle turned over tables and chairs at Johnny Rockets earlier this month, then removed the bottom of her bikini before climbing on the table and pouring the ketchup on herself.

Onlookers said she then began to perform a kind of dance while she still lay prone on the table.

Shortly after video players in cars started to become prevalent, ten or so years ago, I was driving home one night and got stopped behind a SUV at a red light.  I noticed they had a video screen with something playing on it.  Piqued by the novelty, I tried to make out what was playing on the screen.  Let's just say, I suspect the driver of the car only had one hand on the wheel.  And yes, this was in Florida.

QuoteA Florida man with a history of drug, gun and theft arrests was allegedly naked, drunk and driving 110 mph with three female passengers when the Florida Highway Patrol caught up to him on Saturday afternoon.

Noe Dejesus, 33, was released Sunday after posting a $6,000 bond, FOX13 reported. He faces charges of DUI and driving without a license.

Dejesus was pulled over just after 3 p.m. following a report of a car driving recklessly on Alligator Alley. The Highway Patrol officer who clocked Dejesus' speeding Cadillac initially believed the driver was merely shirtless.

But when Dejesus opened the door and stepped out, he was completely naked, police said.

The trooper allegedly spotted an open 12-pack of Corona and a nearly empty bottle of Crown Royal whiskey in the car, according to the Naples Daily News. Dejesus allegedly smelled of alcohol, was slurring his speech and almost fell down trying to put his pants on.

He declined to perform a field sobriety test and was arrested.

QuoteA suspected burglar jumped in a Florida lake apparently hiding from law enforcement before an 11-foot alligator killed him, investigators said Monday. His hand and foot reportedly turned up inside the animal's stomach.

Brevard County Sheriff's Maj. Tod Goodyear says 22-year-old Matthew Riggins told his girlfriend he would be in Barefoot Bay to commit burglaries with another suspect. Authorities received calls Nov. 13 about two suspicious men in black walking behind homes and investigated. Riggins was reported missing the next day.

Goodyear said sheriff's divers recovered Riggins' body 10 days later in a nearby lake, and that the injuries suggested the alligator had pulled him below the surface. "He hid in the wrong place," resident Laura Farris told Bay News 9.

http://wncn.com/2015/12/08/deputies-man-was-having-sex-while-driving-when-he-hit-killed-bicyclist/

QuoteAUBURNDALE, Fla. (WFLA) ā€“  The tragic case of a bicyclist killed in a hit and run crash in Polk County on Saturday took a bizarre turn when deputies arrested the suspect.

Polk County Sheriff's Office detectives said the hit-and-run driver told them he was distracted by his female passenger, who was performing oral sex on him when he hit the bicyclist.

It happened just before 7 p.m. on U.S. Highway 92 West near Payne Street in Auburndale. Investigators say Terry Lamunt Ross was riding his bicycle east on the westbound shoulder of U.S. 92. A green Ford F-250 hit him almost head on. Ross was knocked off his bicycle, his body hit the truck and landed on the shoulder of the road. He died at the scene. The driver of the truck left the scene.

A witness in a passing car saw the crash. She asked her dad to follow the truck and write down its tag number while she called 911. After calling 911, the pair drove back to the crash scene to help Ross.

The witness stayed at the scene and gave Polk Sheriff's Office deputies a detailed description about the crash, the suspect and his truck. With her help, the deputies identified the truck and its owner. When deputies found the truck, they saw the damage on it was consistent with the crash. Deputies questioned the truck's driver, Randy Joe Allen, 54, who they found at the Liquid Larry's Bar.

Allen told deputies he had been at a different bar earlier and left with a woman. Detectives said he was slurring his words and smelled of alcohol when they spoke with him. He allegedly said he was driving and remembered hitting something with the side of his car, but he thought it was a stop sign or a guardrail. He told the detectives he had been distracted by his passenger.

Detectives found his passenger, a young woman staying at a motel in Winter Haven. She confirmed that she had drinks with Allen and left in his car. She told detectives she was performing oral sex on Allen when she heard a bump. Allen told her it was a stop sign. She told deputies she had no reason not to believe him.

Detectives confirmed that Allen was driving the truck when the crash happened. They arrested him on a charge of leaving the scene of a deadly crash. Other charges are pending the results of the blood draw analysis.

Allen has seven prior arrests in Polk County including a DUI, according to the Polk County Sheriff's Office.

QuoteDon't like wearing condoms during risky sex? Best start lobbying your local lawmakers to increase the sales tax on alcohol. A study out of the University of Florida and published Wednesday in the Journal of Preventative Medicine found a correlation between gonorrhea rates and the price of alcohol.

But wait! It isn't exactly what you think.

QuoteAccording to a press release, Maryland raised its alcohol sales tax from 6 to 9 percent in 2011. Gonorrhea rates dropped 24 percent in the 18 months afterward, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

QuoteA man high on the drug Flakka tried to break into a Florida jail all while cameras captured the incident, deputies said.

Cameras rolled as 24-year-old Patrick Rempe was seen attempting to ram his car through the front door of the jail, shattering the glass, Indian River County deputies said.

Smoke from the tires billowed out from under the car.

When he couldn't get in, he drove into the fence outside a building and started climbing it before getting tangled in the razor wire.

Rempe was removed from the fence and taken to the hospital for injuries from the crash and razor wire.

Deputies said he was high on flakka and wanted to visit friends in jail.

Flakka? Is that some kind of Orc catnip?

It's a synthetic drug that's highly potent and...well, lethal.

QuoteFlakka stories are starting to pile up. A man in South Florida who broke down the hurricane-proof doors of a police department admitted to being on flakka. A girl in Melbourne, Florida, ran through the street screaming that she was Satan while on a flakka trip. Authorities in the state are warning people about the dangers of the drug.

QuoteFlakka, which gets its name from Spanish slang for a beautiful woman ("la flaca"), contains a chemical that is a close cousin to MDPV, a key ingredient in "bath salts." These chemicals bind and thwart molecules on the surface of neurons that normally keep the levels of mood-regulating neurotransmitters, dopamine and serotonin, in check. The result is to "flood the brain" with these chemicals, Hall said. Cocaine and methamphetamine have similar modes of action in the brain, but the chemicals in flakka have longer-lasting effects, Hall said.

Although a typical flakka high can last one to several hours, it is possible that the neurological effects can be permanent. Not only does the drug sit on neurons, it could also destroy them, Hall said. And because flakka, like bath salts, hang around in the brain for longer than cocaine, the extent of the destruction could be greater.

Sounds like she might be bipolar. For some folks the manic phase can actually manifest as a full-blown psychotic episode.

I had a friend who suffered from bipolar disorder with extreme manic phases. During one of his worst episodes he jumped from an overpass because he was convinced he could fly. He shattered both his legs and it took years before he could walk unassisted. Walking around with a cane when you are 22 is not nearly so suave as it sounds when you actually need the damn thing.

QuoteA 55-year-old woman in Port St. Lucie, Florida, was arrested earlier this month for domestic battery after allegedly attacking her husband for farting in bed, according to WPTV.com.

The flatulence flap occurred around 3:20 a.m. on Dec. 11 at the home of Dawn Meikle, according to police records.

Meikle's husband told police that she started elbowing him when he passed gas.

"Dawn began kicking him and eventually kicked him out of their bed," according to an affidavit obtained by TCPalm.com.

The husband waited a few moments to clear the air (so to speak) before getting back in bed again.

After another butt trumpet, the man said his wife started elbowing and kicking him again, according to the website.

After a scuffle, Dawn Meikle told police she ran to the bathroom to call 911. She discharged a canister of pepper spray in the bedroom, according to the Miami Herald.

Here in Fla. it's legal to carry your alligator into an establishment as long as it's on a leash and is listed as a "Dependent" on your 1040A. Throwing them has never been legal or considered socially acceptable except on 4th of July and Redneck New Year's Day, which is always also their birthday because it's the only two dates they can remember. In this case neither applied and thus he was charged. BTW Alligators are surprisingly aerodynamic and can be thrown into a strong head-wind and carry quite far if you can get them to spiral, which isn't easy because they are very tail-heavy. And they LOVE Wendy's.

As detailed in court records, the 48-year-old Chao and Joshua Sinclair, who have been married for just over a year, were driving to a new residence in Sarasota when Gao confronted Sinclair about the sex toy she discovered.

In a police statement, Sinclair wrote that Gao became furious upon learning from him that "a dildo she found was actually for me to use."

Oh, and the accused is quite the looker:

I know he's looking up from hell laughing his ass off saying it was worth it," she says smiling through blackened teeth, apparently not caused by the fire.

The woman plans on suing Chipotle, which failed to address their peppers causing a higher rate of methane in human farts. She offered a statement, "I'm not mad about my husband dying, I just got my eyebrows did and now they're gone." Chipotle Mexican Grill has yet to respond.

He was later taken to St. Joseph's Hospital where he died.

Alligators don't usually carry prey around in their jaws like that, they pull them down and stash them somewhere on the bottom to decompose to make them easier to chew and swallow. So, yeah, it looks a little fake to me too. The head in the close-up pic looks doctored to be bigger than normal also and wouldn't be in line with the body. It would be hanging over to one side unless the animal was still alive in which case I doubt the Ranger would be walking that close by. Still, it would make one hell of a pair of boots.  :wow:

I remember several years ago, on a cryptozoology board, someone was claiming the photos had been taken in northern Alabama. (Or rather, someone elsewhere was trying that, and someone posted to the crypto board to discuss and check for debunking.)

The photos with the deer are real and untouched (but not from Bama). Consensus was eventually that the photo of the hanging gator was real but from a different incident, with a larger head shopped on to make it seem proportionate to the size of the gator in the copter photo(s). Higher res source now, sure does make the head look fake!

Everybody knows possums can not handle their liquor. But it's hard to tell when they're drunk because you can't tell when they've passed-out or just playing possum. Now there's a raccoon at a local bar that can pop the top on a bottle of beer and serve it to you, but good luck getting him to buy a round.

Very hard to get Florida Black Bears to talk. Waterboarding doesn't even work.  Though I'd tell stuff I didn't know if it was me.  ;D  That happened about 45 miles south of me. Bears are becoming more common all the time now in Florida, even in suburban settings. Maybe now people will take them more seriously.

How are 'turtle spies" trained?  How do turtle spies evade our canine guardians?  My canine guardians "search and annoy" turtles every time they can get their paws around one.  The turtle spy goes into "shutdown mode" which prevents spying, but causes great annoyance to my canine guards.

The heat this time of year is not a natural occurrence. It's caused by some many Yankees heading back up north simultaneously that it causes a vacuum sucking in hot air from the Caribbean. It's called a, 'Snowbird Vortex'. Two things mitigate it, Air Conditioning and Swimming Pool.

A Florida bride and her wedding caterer have been arrested and accused of lacing wedding food, including lasagna, with marijuana and causing several guests to become sick, according to their arrest warrant affidavits.

Some guests reported feeling "stoned" and "ill and high," the affidavits say, while another said he felt "weird, tingly, fidgety, and had an extremely dry mouth" after eating food at the wedding.
According to the affidavits, one woman who attended the wedding told an investigator that while she was at the hospital, she felt paranoid and "believed her husband ... wasn't telling her the truth about other family members," and that her son-in-law had died and no one was telling her. She said she became loud and unruly in the emergency room and had to be given medication to calm down.
