Oh this is a good one!

A guy in Tampa called 911, not for an emergency, but because he wanted someone to...uhm....talk dirty with. Ah!

He claims that his cell phone ran out of minutes and he was "in the mood", so he called 911--seems logical right?

After calling 911 four times and being hung up on by traumatized 911 operators, police were dispatched to his home and arrested him on charges of making a false 911 call.

I don't EVEN want to know HOW he used his cell phone minutes when he had them!

An Okeechobee man was convicted earlier this week of murdering his son-in-law after using his weight as a defense.

Edward Ates claimed he was "too fat" to have run up an down a flight of stairs to commit the crime and flee from the crime scene.

How fat was this guy? 288 lbs on a 5' 8" frame...pretty hefty.

Just nearly not as hefty to solidify his argument.

I love Floridiots!

It was announced earlier this week that the largest solar plant in the United States will be in Florida.

Can't say it takes a rocket scientist, or in this case, alternative energy scientist, to put a solar plant in the Sunshine State.

In order to bring attention to this important project, President Obama visited Arcadia today.

It's nice to hear some good, drama-free news coming out of Florida today.

This solar plant is sure to create more jobs all the while helping out the environment!

There's nothing cute and furry about today's story (no matter how hilarious those darn raccoons were in "The Great Outdoors").

A 74 year old woman in Lakeland was attacked by a gang of five raccoons.

Yikes!

It all started when the woman tried get the raccoons to leave her front door.

The raccoons jumped on her, causing the poor old lady to fall down.

Once on the ground, the raccoons continued to attack, causing serious injuries and bite marks all over her little old body.

The sheriff's department is currently looking for those pesky guys.

Find more here, where you can see amateur video of a pack of raccoons that may be the attackers!

"Cocoon" (1985) is a wonderful science fiction movie directed by Ron Howard, with a "who's who" of mature actors from the 80s like Don Ameche, Wilford Brimley, and Jessica Tandy.

The movie was filmed in St. Petersburg. There's even a scene in the movie when Hume Cronin's character dances around in a strip mall that has a green Publix bench.

Love Publix!

If you haven't seen the movies, I have two words for you: Brian Dennehy. He brought "sexy back" ALONG time ago.

In the epic "There Will Be Blood", the main character uses a child as a marketing ploy whilst negotiating for oil.

The following story does not stray to far from this plot line, so we'll call it "There Will Be Idiots".

A woman in Suntree was charged with neglecting her 6 year old son after a tow truck driver told the police she offered to sell her child in exchange for gas money.

Is gas REALLY that expensive in Florida? Me thinks not.

I love this story for it's ridiculousness but I hate it because I feel sorry for the little boy who has a mental case for a mom.

Thank you Florida for not letting me down! Especially the men and women of law enforcement!

Cops in Lakeland were caught playing a Wii video bowling game during a drug raid.

Who says you can't have fun on the job??

The home that the cops raided had a surveillance camera, and the video clearly shows officers repeatedly stopping on the job to play the video game.

In defense of the cops, maybe they have PS3's at home and wanted to check out what the Wii is like?

Also, was the video game on when the cops raided the house or did they start up the game on their own?

Anyways, read more at Fla. cops caught playing video game during raid

Although born in Tennessee, Megan Fox moved to St. Petersburg when she was ten and spent her adolescence in the sunshine state.

Why Florida? Why?!!

A group of Floridiots calling themselves "Personhood Florida" are trying to add a new amendment to Florida's Constitution that would make it a crime to take birth control pills in Florida.

They want the constitution to define someone as a "person," regardless of age or health status, "from the beginning of the biological development of that human being."

These people are nutso! They consider taking the pill as a "chemical abortion".

You can read their "reasoning" behind their genius idea here

Ok....hmmm.....so they would rather you get knocked up and THEN get a real abortion??

And would it be a crime to use a condom?

And are they going to take in all of the unwanted babies born because birth control was illegal??

I'm sure this group spends TONS of money trying to promote this stupid amendment, meanwhile thousands of Florida's children who were unwanted are hungry and without any financial assistance.

What would Jesus REALLY do, Florida??

Anyone for a BK "Anus" burger??

Well, one poor guy who WAS in the mood for some BK probably wish he hadn't been, after being shot 4 times while being parked at a BK drive-thru in Opa-locka last night.

Two scary dudes with AK-47s (wtf!) drove up to the guys car and started firing.

Luckily, the victim was able to drive himself to the hospital.

I wonder if he waited to get his food before driving to the hospital?
Who wants to eat cold fries, right?

According to the article you can read here, this is the second shooting at a BK in the Miami-Dade area in just this week.

No reports on whether the shooters wore red plastic boots and white face paint.

The Bandit out of Rehab

One of our favorite FILF's, Burt Reynold's, just returned home after a stay in a West Palm Beach rehab facility.

He was reportedly found knocked out, covered in blood after a fall and blamed the fall on an addiction to prescription pills.

Apparently Burt started taking painkillers to help with back pain.

Poor Burt! Hope he didn't mess up that beautifully frozen face!

This story came to my attention from my homegirl Katie Jean via another source but I had share!!

Because it involves Bell Shoals Baptist Church, a "megachurch" in our hometown of Brandon!

Bell Shoals sucks big time---they hold "gay conversion" classes and spread lies and hatred, AND high sugar diets.

You see, the church replaced their 10 (yes 10) soda vending machines from Pepsi products to Coke products because

here it comes....

Pepsi "opposes traditional family values".

You know, like the value of being true to yourself, loving thy neighbor, not passing judgment on others, lying, etc.

We need to pray for Bell Shoals Baptist Church---they need our thoughts to save THEM from stupidity.

"Striptease" (1996) starred Demi Moore as a Miami stripper who gets involved in a ridiculous scheme involving taking down a corrupt congressman (Burt Reynolds), all the while trying to win custody of her daughter from her ex-husband (Robert Patrick AKA the T-1000).

This movie was a BIG deal at the time because Demi earned $12.5 million, which is more than any actress had made at the time.

Guess where Demi learned how to strip dance? In Tampa of course!

I remember seeing this in the theatre with family and it was AWKWARD.

The trailer for the film is disabled on You Tube, so enjoy Demi in this 13 year old clip from Late Night with David Letterman:

The picture above makes me think of something.....oh yeah STD's!

Which leads us to today's posting.....

Health workers in North Carolina have found that people are willing to get tested for sexually transmitted diseases in exchange for Wal-Mart gift cards.

These are tough times indeed. Scratchy, itchy, burny times.

People infected with syphilis in Forsyth County, NC has more than tripled from those infected just last year.

Experts say that the rise in STD's is in correlation with the bad economy.

So what's Paris' excuse then??

Jack Kerouac, legendary Beat writer of classic books, such as "On the Road" and "The Subterraneans" spent the later part of his life in beautiful West Coast Florida.

He died at St. Anthony's hospital in St. Petersburg, at the young age of 47, from complications arising from cirrhosis of the liver, a result of heavy drinking his whole life.

Just this past July, a judge in Pinellas County ruled that Jack's will had been forged, thus finally settling financial drama between Jack's relatives.

I read "On the Road" in my early teens and remember it playing like a movie in my head as my eyes moved quickly across the pages.

Read it if you haven't yet.

The judge found that the teen's exposure to hairspray at her hair salon job caused the device to detect alcohol, and thus, went off.

The girl was originally arrested for drunk driving. Her horrible decision to drive drunk caused her to run a stop sign and hit a tree, which tragically killed one of her passengers.

One soda lover from Ormond Beach was in for an extra special treat when he found a frog (or a toad) in his can of Diet Pepsi.

Lucky for me, I'm a Coca-Cola girl.

The FDA says a test confirms that the amphibian was in the soda can, but is not sure how it got in there.

A Pepsi spokesperson says Pepsi stands by its manufacturing process and that the speed of the lines that produce the soda cans make 1,250 cans a minute--a speed too fast for a foreign object to get inside.

The frog finder is certain that the animal was in the can before he opened it.

Something tells me this guy is a phony and wants to spend some Pepsi money!

This story makes me sad, not because it involves drunk driving, but because it involves wasted fast food!

A woman in Crestview was arrested after parking her car at the end of a Whataburger drive-thru lane and passing out over a half eaten burger and french fries.

Luckily cops arrived and charged her with her 5th DUI.

She's a freakin' idiot!

This would have NEVER happened at the In-N-Out drive thru because it's always busy and people would be honking at you something serious. You wouldn't have a chance to pass out!

Familiar with the saying "if it's too good to be true, it's probably not"?

Well that's exactly what happened at a Best Buy in Kissimmee when a bunch of shoppers showed up to buy a 52 inch high definition television for only $9.99!

The manager of the store told everyone waiting to get their hands on "cheap" TV that Best Buy was NOT honoring the online deal because it was a mistake.

That totally sucks because many businesses will give you the price a product is listed as, even if it's a mistake.

WTF Miami??

When the South Florida owner of "Geronimo", a beautiful brown and white horse, reported him missing, she didn't expect he would be found dead under a tree.

Apparently, 19 horses have been killed in Southeast Florida since January---and many believe they are being killed for their meat.

Although the police believe it is too premature to form a motive, a member of the SPCA believes that horses are being killed for their meat by people of different nationalities.

Miami is a melting pot of many, many cultures, and I guess in some of these cultures, eating meat is legal.

This is SO disgusting.

I hope Geronimo didn't die in vain, and that the awareness this story has brought will put an end to such a heinous crime.

The only thing the following story and "The Bridges of Madison County" have in common is a bridge.

No sexy National Geographic photographers. No Italian stay at home wives. No tense and rainy red lights.

A couple of sex offenders are suing Miami-Dade County because they want to overturn a law that keeps them 2,500 feet from anyplace children are usually at (schools, playgrounds, etc.).

This restriction has forced an estimated 70 sex offenders to live under a bridge on the Julia Tuttle Causeway.

The bridge is one of the very few places they can live outside of the restricted areas.

I can't say I feel sorry for them. It's one thing to be homeless because you lost your job or you have a serious mental illness.

You could say it's his fourth time if you count living in Florida as winning the lotto--because it is!

Or it can be. Depending what neighborhood you live in. And if there's a meth lab next door. And it explodes while you are at work. Because, unfortunately, that happens. Then, you're not so lucky.

Anyways, apparently he decided to buy a scratch-off ticket on his way to collecting his piece of the lottery pie and he won $1,000.

And back in 2007, he won $500,000 in another scratch-off game.
