Florida Log

Post by Shrapnel »

Captains Log, Stardate Saturday Night

Hey-ho, Denzians!

So, today is the first day (well, tomorrow, technically) of my Flo-ri-da vacation, and since I know I am a source of great interest to all of you, I shall (attempt) to keep a log of my travels.

For now, I am currently at the house of the friend who is taking me to Florida as her guest. Tomorrow, at around sometime in the morning, I will be wisked away by a plane to a magical kingdom inhabited by fairies and enchanted congressmen wearing tutus whatever nickname Florida is called.

And then a series of vaguely connected chains of cause and effect will occur and convalesce into a nifty thing called "time".

I'm kinda high right now.

More to follow, maybe.

Wish me luck, folks!

I think they are the sunshine state.

Just remember, Florida is a land of deep economic disparity. You are probably going to to the touristy part, where everything costs at least ten times what it should, and people are constantly going to gouge you. You might want to leave the touristy part to save your money, but don't do this. You pretty much hit Deliverance with absolutely no forewarning.

Also, stirges are real and live in Florida. It's an awful place and everywhere smells like crotch sweat.

Well, apparently Alan Grayson lives here, or something. According to my friend, this is a good thing.

And Ted, two things: Love the new avatar, and secondly, it so totally does smell like crotch-sweat.

Captain's Log, Stardate... whenever


Well, today concludes the first official day in Florida.

The place still smells, and the bugs are bigger than Alan Greenspan's sixth wife's gazongas.

Not much was done; the house we are staying at is fucking huge. It's owned by a fleshling known as "Mark", a pretty cool dude who owns a company that does IT stuff for SEC and Wall Street or something. The guy is loaded. Anyway, despite the fact that he is super conservative, he's really nice. He let's his employees use the house for free and shit.

But he believes some crazy shit.

Anyway, not much was done (did I already say that?). We went swimming in the pool (Jaime, the friend who took me, said that the pool water was really cold. The water was like eighty degrees. Wuss.) And then I ate some chips.

However, sometime this week, I hope to go to LEGOLAND, which is only 2 1/2 hours away from where we are.

People, please let these fine folks know, via the Den, that LEGOLAND is totally worth a 2 1/2 hour drive.

Anywhose, that's all for now. By the way, I'm posting from my iPad! Cool, huh?

Hello Denners! Today is Thursday, which means it's roast beef time!


Florida is shitballs boring, and I have yet to see a crocogator (part croc, part gator, and two-thirds Pat Robertson).

I'm still truckin', though. Today, we may or may not go to the beach, and the entire house we are staying at smells like mustard gas.

On the other hand, there's only two more days of this hell. And then... I was going somewhere with this, dammit.

Last thing: if a friend invites you to Florida, RUN.

I have no idea whether or not this is a euphemism.

It is. For masturbation. It clarifies in the article.

Alas, I have not met this strange yet wonderful man.

I did see a dolphin, though. I named it Ecco.

I was gonna post something in response to that, but Mr. Hands is from my state, so... Yeah.

And then I read that Brenner attended Evergreen. So... Double yeah.

Count should court a dolphin. After all the failures he's had with his own species, he might have more luck with a marine mammal. They're higher life forms compared to most human women I myself have met.

Dolphins tend to be rape-y. I have experienced more than enough of that.

Dolphin fun aside, today is the last day that I am in this hellpit. Good riddance, I say. All the water at the house we're staying at smells like sulfur.

Anyway, we ride at 11, and I should be back in the other hellpit that I call home sometime around 1-ish to 2-ish.

I'm trying to think of something clever to say, but I just can't think of anything.

Yeah, that's the recycled water. Most people just use it to water the grass.

I swear, whenever I think of Florida from now on, I'll only remember the sulfur.

Stupid Florida.

Southern MD has the same problem. Your two options are sulfur or chlorine.

One casting every six seconds at CL9 gives you a bit more than 40 liters per second, which is comparable to the flow rates of some small, but serious, rocket engines. Six items running at full blast through a well-engineered engine will put you, and something like 50 tons of cargo, into space. Alternatively, if you thrust sideways, you will briefly be a fireball screaming across the sky at mach 14 before you melt from atmospheric friction.
