Another Reason Why Floridians Are None To Bright

[CASPERWAIT$]

OCALA, Fla. The family that runs an Ocala ice cream shop said it never meant to offend anyone.

The Ice Cream Family Corner and Sandwiches restaurant opened just three months ago at the busy intersection of South Pine Avenue and Southwest 17th Street.

A worker came across an old ice cream costume in a back closet of the building, and decided to have one of the employees wear the costume and stand on the street corner to advertise the business.

Server Jasmine Gonzalez said they noticed business had dropped off severely two weeks later.

Gonzalez said they soon learned rumors were flying around town, specifically on Facebook, that the ice cream cone costume resembled that of a Klu Klux Klan member.

The family that runs the ice cream shop is from Puerto Rico, and said it didn't even know what the Klu Klux Klan was until the controversy erupted.

The workers are no longer using the costume, and they said they want the community to know it was never intended to represent anything but an ice cream cone.

The controversy attracted plenty of media attention. During the lunch hour Tuesday, there were more reporters and cameras in the shop than there were customers.

"mommy can we stop for some ice cream?"

"fuck that they are in with the clan now they'll burn us alive!"

How that costume can be mistaken for a KKK outfit is beyond me.
Well if Floridians can confuse a baby killer with a mother of the year, I guess anything is possible.

It's still fresh enough for a Jay Leno monologue joke.

Casper swears by the Leno Criterion when developing new material.

Everything resembles something is this country.

 

[fiveteamer]

I guess you had to be there.

 

[Swarmy]

Christ, why does everyone on this freaking mudball think that their opinion is the one that should matter? The dude is an ice cream cone, anyone who sees the KKK in that is a racist scumbag who needs to laugh at life a little.

So how've you guys been?

 

[Cougar Bait]

Hold shit a Swarmy post.

Not bad, a little stressed from work, but winning at gambling and fucking like normal.

 

[Matty]

Hold shit

You first.

S'up Smarmy.

 

[roguejuror]

Hi Smarmy

 

[Tron]

Good to see you, Swarmster

 

[Swarmy]

sup fellers. Just coming out of hermit mode. decided to kick the interweb for a while and keep my thoughts to myself. Lately I've decided, fuck that, I've got a lot of insane shit in here that I've got to share.

 

[Cougar Bait]

Pretty hard to hold shit I guess.

Pretty hard to hold shit I guess.

Reminds me of a saying an old friend of mine always used to say:
"You can wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills up first."

Hola Swarmy. Nice to see you.

St. Petersburg woman charged with deliberately pinning four-year-old to tree with car
Charged with attempted murder




ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - A St. Petersburg woman deliberately drove her car toward a group of people, pinning a four-year-old boy to a tree, police said.

Nikki Caldwell was charged with attempted murder and booked into the Pinellas County Jail.

The four-year-old was walking down a sidewalk Tuesday evening with an adult man and woman when Caldwell drove up to them and began arguing with the man, police spokesman Mike Puetz said.

Caldwell told the threesome she would run them over if they did not move, said Puetz, and then drove at the three people, "pinning the four-year-old to the tree causing him to lose consciousness."

Accodring to police Caldwell then drove off and went to an auto body shop to buy new rims for her car wheels, to replace the rims damaged in the attack.

The little boy is expected to live, Puetz said.
