7 Reasons Florida is Better Than Georgia

So, I had my Georgia post nearly done, so I’m posting it before I post my NC post – sue me!

Anyhoo, the Florida-Georgia rivalry extends well beyond the football field, and despite the classless display by those dastardly Bulldogs in Jacksonville, whupping up on our beloved Gators then rubbing it in their faces like that, it’s pretty well-established that Florida is better than Georgia.

For instance:

  1. Oranges taste better than peaches.
  2. Georgia – Six Flags; Florida – Disney, Epcot, Universal, etc.
  3. Georgia was settled as a penal colony. Therefore, all Georgians are criminals.
  4. Georgia sucks. How do you think Florida stays attached to the mainland.
  5. Parts of Florida have been ruled under 7 flags. Parts of Georgia have been ruled under 6 flags. Therefore, Florida is more desirable.

7 Reasons Florida is Better Than New Hampshire

So, I’m thinking of starting a series of posts about why Florida is the best place in all of America. Today, I’ll start with a plce I know well from having spent a couple of formative years living there, New Hampshire. Without further ado, 7 Reasons Why Florida is Better Than New Hampshire:

  1. In Florida, if winter falls on a weekend, we have a festival. In NH, if summer falls on a weekend, they have a picnic.
  2. Floridians can swim comfortably year-round thanks to our swimming pools, beaches, and natural springs.
  3. If you don’t like the weather in Florida, wait 15 minutes and it will change. If you don’t like the weather in NH, wait 15 days.
  4. It is sufficient to say something is “Awesome” in Florida. We do not require “Wicked” to describe how awesome something is.
  5. Floridians don’t have to buy their booze from the state.
  6. Floridians have Key West (and Miami, and Ft. Lauderdale, and Palm Beach, and Clearwater, and Tampa, and St. Petersburg, and Jacksonville, and you get the picture). NH has Mt. Washington, home to the worst weather in the continental US.
  7. Today’s temperature in Jacksonville, FL: 74 degrees. Today’s temperature in Derry, NH: 45 degrees.

Duh-dum, duh-dum, duh-dum

Um, this wasn’t deep sea fishing – they caught this OFF THE DOCK!

A big catch that has neighbors talking!St. Petersburg, Florida — Last Summer, Frank Maloney and his friends got hooked on fishing off his dock. They never thought they would catch something this big.

Maloney called for help and his friends knew this was not just a normal catch.

It took three hours of reeling to bring in a 600 pound, 9 foot long bull shark. Neighbors started gathering to see the shark. Many were stunned to see such a big shark in someone’s backyard.

The shark will be mounted on Maloney’s wall. The fisherman used a six-pound Bonita for bait and an 80 pound test line to catch the shark.

My brother and several friends were lifeguards at the beach. They said they used to see sharks all the time from up in their chairs, and swimmers were never aware. They just watched to make sure the sharks didn’t move in – usually they were just passing by.

Think about that on your next trip to the beach.
