Hey bub, you trying to horn in on my weird news gig? 😛

Can't help but think of this every time I hear "Florida man [insert random, outrageous crime here]". I like the idea of personifying all those headlines to one derranged "super hero".

I love checking the FloridaMan reddit whenever I need a laugh.

It's to the point for me where almost any story regardless of how crazy it sounds becomes instantly believable if the word "Florida" is in it.
