It's like having Kidney Stones

When the Doctor tells you they'll pass - eventually - you really don't feel better, do you... 


That's very north Florida.

I can't imagine what it's like to be that rich



Bill Gates is leaving Microsoft’s board, the company announced on Friday. 

Microsoft announced on Friday that Bill Gates is leaving the board, effective Friday. Gates is also stepping down from his position on the board of Berkshire Hathaway.

“I have made the decision to step down from both of the public boards on which I serve – Microsoft and Berkshire Hathaway – to dedicate more time to philanthropic priorities including global health and development, education, and my increasing engagement in tackling climate change,” Gates said on LinkedIn. “The leadership at the Berkshire companies and Microsoft has never been stronger, so the time is right to take this step.”

That's a GREAT idea.

Thank god for clearer heads.


Do ya REALLY wanna piss off 100,00 bikers? 

The Leesburg Partnership announced Friday that it has no current plans to cancel or postpone the Leesburg Bikefest, addressing concerns that the event may be impacted by coronavirus precautions.

The annual festival, which is scheduled for nearly three weeks beyond currently planned cancellations, was the source of concern for many on Facebook in the wake of multiple Lake County cities and organizations canceling their events through the end of March as well as comments by Leesburg Commissioner Dan Robuck suggesting it could happen.



“With the date still weeks away we feel strongly that it is too early to make a final decision,” Joe Shipes, CEO of the Leesburg Partnership, said in a release provided to the Daily Commercial. “We are monitoring the situation closely along with national, state and local health agencies. If the decision to cancel the event occurs, an announcement will be made with ample time for you to cancel any travel or accommodation reservations.”

Leesburg Bikefest, an annual event drawing thousands to the city for a weekend of concerts and festivities, is currently scheduled for April 24-26. 

Bikefest is the third largest gathering of it's kind in the US after Daytona Bike Week (going on right now) and some thing some guys do somewhere in the Black Mountain Hills somewheres.

Ya know, I've said this too many times that it's now starting to sound cliched, but it's probably truer now than it's ever been. You have to be VERY careful about where and how you get your news. Case in point?


Four different news outlets, four completely different slants on the same topic (more or less). If you were to only read one of them, how much would you actually know about the subject matter?

Anybody recognize this dude? That's his High School Senior yearbook pic. Some do, huh?

Great composition, simple subject.

If yer gonna be bat-shit crazy, ya might as well 
look good while yer doin' it.


Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., suggested Thursday that the Federal Reserve, through its response to the coronavirus, proved the U.S. government could shoulder the burden of student loan debt relief.

Her tweet came after the stock market saw one of its steepest drops in decades amid fears surrounding the pandemic. The Federal Reserve responded by pledging to inject $1.5 trillion of temporary liquidity. Ocasio-Cortez appeared to hint that Republicans or the U.S. government was hypocritical in its bias toward Wall Street.

"FYI, the amount that the Fed just injected almost covers all student loan debt in the US," she tweeted. "There is absolutely NO excuse for not pausing student debt collections, planning for mortgage &rent relief, etc. We need to care for working people as much as we care for the stock market."

I hate to admit it, but I think (when she's not talking) she's kinda cute.

... 


AOC's gonna teach herself howta belly board.
... 

... 

I'm not picking on her, I swear. 
She just cracks me up. 
What a sock puppet.


“I think one thing that isn’t being talked about is the rampant voter suppression in this country. Where we had that rally, those kids were waiting three hours in line to vote in Michigan,” said Ocasio-Cortez.

“Just to be clear, you’re saying that you think that voters didn’t get to vote who wanted to vote in Michigan,” pressed the Fox News host.

“Absolutely,” responded the Congresswoman.

TAMPA — The Yankees don’t know when the coronavirus will loosen its chokehold on the world enough for big league baseball to resume.

What they do understand is this: When the season reboots, the Yankees want to be ready to take the initial step toward winning the organization’s first World Series since 2009.

At a meeting at George M. Steinbrenner Field on Friday, the Yankees could have voted to go home, go to New York or stay in Tampa.

“They gave us the option of what we wanted to do. We decided as a team we wanted to stay here and continue working out and getting ready for whenever the season is,’’ Zack Britton said while standing in the parking lot. “It was unanimous, everyone wants to stay here and get ready to go for when the season starts back.’’

Getting even 10 men to agree on anything is an upset. Egos, agendas and politics get in the way. Yet the Yankees found a way for 50 players to agree that it was important to remain together and believe it was safe in a time when the world has been smothered by the virus.

Did you hear about this? This is some scary crazy shit:

Scientists Discover Scorching Planet 
Where It Rains Molten Iron 


Some scientists say they have observed a planet 640 light years away where it's so hot it rains scalding iron. I don't reckon I'll be paying a visit any time soon.

If molten iron rain isn't quite brutal enough, the planet - named Wasp-76b - also has 10,000mph winds and has temperatures of more than 2,400°C during the day, hot enough to vaporise metals.

At night the temperature drops by 1,000°C meaning the metals on the planet condense and rain out, the BBC reports.

Honest to god the thing is (640 Light Years =
3.7623202 x 10 to the 15th power Miles for fuck sake) away. How exactly the fuck can they possibly know this shit?

Wasp-76b, which is twice as wide as Jupiter, was spotted by scientists from Switzerland who have recently published their findings in the academic journal Nature.

That kind of spewing makes my brain hurt.

Idiots of the world UNITE!


Bare store shelves in The Villages have been abundant as fear has been spreading much faster than COVID-19.

Shoppers on Friday afternoon at Target at Rolling Acres Plaza in The Villages pounced when a pallet of Bounty paper products was put on the store floor. Within two minutes, all of the merchandise had been carted away by shoppers.
... 

... 

... 

This is just plain brilliant.


Get it - you won't regret it. 
Buncha great ideas in this book:

... 


This is the Legion Post here in the Villages. By membership, it's the singlest largest post in the world. Impressed? Don't be. 

These pussies just shut the place down until April because of this fuckin' corona shit. War fighters? Nah - just plain old pussies. Place is run by a buncha geriatric jerkoffs who don't like us - Viet-era vets.

Fuck 'em. Let 'em stay home and watch The Price Is Right.
... 


I wonder what this shoot was for. There is NOTHING in the pic that doesn't appeal to me on a coupla levels.
... 

Forget 'Florida Man'.
'Flroida Woman' is much more batshit crazy.


Deputies: Facing DUI charges, Florida couple has sex in patrol car

Deputies said the woman, 35-year-old Megan Lynn Mondanaro, grew violent as deputies moved her to a different vehicle.

Of course, this happened on Friday the 13th... A Florida couple was arrested in Nassau County on suspicion of cycling under the influence. Once in the patrol car, they proceeded to shed their clothes and started having sex in the back of the officer’s car. When deputies opened the car door to intervene, the naked man knocked a deputy to the ground and took off running into the night. You just can’t make this stuff up.

Florida woman brings meth into court, 
tells deputy it’s makeup 


She's a real looker, huh?

A woman in Flagler County was arrested after she entered the courthouse with methamphetamine in her pocket, according to FCSO. Officials said she told a deputy it was makeup used for skin treatment. Detectives tested the substance and it tested positive for methamphetamine and weighed 1.44 grams, according to the FCSO.
... 

... 

... 

And then there's this. God help us all.


This Florida woman was arrested for drug possession. She attempted to chew the meth hidden in her buttocks after being strip searched when taken to jail.


That's the same woman - holy shit!

Summer Nicole Adamson, 30, was arrested June 29 — hours after her birthday — on multiple drug-related charges in addition to smuggling the drugs into the jail and trying to consume them.

Adamson is being held on bond at the Collier County Jail in Naples and will have her first court date in about two weeks.
... 

Let's not forget Emily...


Emily Stallard is 37 years old women from Florida, who arrested after allegedly making a bomb inside of a Walmart. 

She used a mason jar with fuel denatured alcohol and wire brad nails inside. She then used a shoelace as a wick and attempted to light the shoelace with a lighter before the off-duty officer and security guard stopped her. They then detained Stallard until deputies arrived. Emily multiple felony charges, including firebombing, attempted arson and child abuse.

I think I'm done here. 
Here's a coupla cuter Florida babes to consider:

Afraid of catching her Corona Virus? 
Run outta masks?
Everyone around you infected with something?
Self-quarentining? 
Run out of hand sanitizer?
Need diapers?

No worries - you can order everything

to your door disease free.
