    Competition for Florida Man

    There has been a Florida Man competition. Sounds a bit mild but it was a public event.

    https://apnews.com/article/florida-m...64109cd126b207

    "They rose up by the dozens from across Florida, caricatured competitors in tank tops and cutoff shorts, for a showdown that treats evading police and wrestling over beer like Olympic sports.

    Promoted as “the most insane athletic showdown on Earth,” the Florida Man Games poke fun at the state’s reputation for bizarre stories that involve brawling, drinking, gunfire, reptile wrangling and other antics carrying a risk of time in jail or intensive care.

    The games kicked off Saturday with the “Star Spangled Banner” played on electric guitar. Then spectators sipping canned beers behind metal barricades cheered and frequently shouted expletives as a dozen teams battled in contests inspired by real events from America’s most surreal state."

    Still rather drink their coffee than the toxic brown sludge sold by those pretentious Seattle shitbitds. At least at DD, I can order a large coffee without having to figure out if “venti” means “large”.

    I spent a couple years in DD’s home turf, but have been a customer since my early teens. I still remember their endless soup and fresh bread deal from the late 70s.

    Better and more consistent than the crap at Charbucks.

    Agreed, even since they quit making them in store and moved to a commissary model. The only exception I’ve seen is in Mass and South NH, because there are so damn many outlets the commissary system works. They’re at least tolerable there, but I’ll still take a good small bakery donut over DD hands down. The DD sourdough is great, though.

    Someone recently put in a DD/Baskin Robbins combo shop in our little slice of heaven. Thinking back to my junior high trips to DD on Sunday mornings after finishing my paper route to meet with a couple other kids I knew who had routes, I made a beeline for the place shortly after they opened.

    Big change. I won't be back as I'm not going to pay more for a convenience store donut than I pay for that donut at a convenience store.
    Adding nothing to the conversation since 2015....
