Wasn't Lynyrd Skynyrd from Northern Florida? Like, they were so embarrassed about it they pretended they were from loving Alabama.

I used to live in North Florida (Okaloosa county) and my first time hearing the "mullet festival" had me in hysterics. Seriously, the place is demon spawn. I'd rather go to prison than have to live there again.

Yeah, coming from the rural Midwest, going to north Florida is like visiting a warmer version of home with tons more poo poo to do. And feral chickens for us to gawk at. Seriously how do you let chickens go feral

Living there permanently is dreadful though, and I don't recommend it. e: And the proper term is Redneck Riviera.

Living there permanently is dreadful though, and I don't recommend it. Thats pretty much Florida, not just Pensacola. Anyone who has never been, this is how you Florida: Fly into OIA. Spend 4 days doing the Disney/Universal experience. Don't eat at any "local" resturants. Chain or starve because its sketchy once you venture off. Also, unless you are looking for hookers or coke, stay away from OBT. Once you have done that, rent a car, take 528 east. Drive till you hit water, back up 30 yards. Thats Cape Canaveral. Spend a couple nights there, one day at the beach, 2 hours doing the NASA thing at Kennedy. I would say a day, but lets face it, there ain't poo poo going down anymore to make going anywhere but the Visitor's Complex worth while. Spend the rest of the day at the beach getting your sunburn on. Drive back the next morning, fly out of OIA, and never go back again. Also, if you do this in the middle of July, lol.

Hell, unlike Pensacola PCB isn't even nice enough to visit, so it doesn't even have that going for it. I have no idea why that hellhole is a Spring Break hotspot.

I have FB friends that delight in posting weather reports for their location in Florida this time of year, in order to piss off us northerners. But honestly, how the hell can you stand your state in August? When you have 100% humidity, and the temperature's pushing 100F, and you blister just by venturing out to get the newspaper. All summer long. Forget it. I'll take the snow, thanks.

Anyone who had sub 70 temps, or what the rest of the world considers "reasonable weather" managed to catch winter on their vacation.

Also pretty much every interior space is air conditioned, so even though it's pushing 100 outside it's still 68 in your living room/the store/pretty much everywhere with four walls. Unless your parents are energy misers like mine were who keep it at 80.

I grew up in Houston and lived in Huntsville until I could afford to get the gently caress out and it was miserable every single loving day. Houston is 2 hours from the coast, Huntsville is 3 hours from the coast and both are 85-90% humidity ALL loving YEAR. December, January and February it still gets into the 80s with that bullshit humidity. I'll take the 2-3 weeks a year it gets cold as balls up here in Colorado compared to that poo poo. Hell it snowed for the last week here, but yesterday and today were back into the 50s. And 50 degrees without humidity is tshirt weather here. gently caress the Gulf Coast.

If you have the chance to see a rocket launch while you're in Florida, do it. It's loving awesome. The rest is pretty solid. Generally the only thing worth doing in the middle of the state is Orlando and maaaaybe Sebring International Raceway if LeMans is going on and you like cars. Otherwise, stick to the coast. Also, if you're in an area where there's lots of hotels, you're in a touristy part of town, and you can expect everything to be ludicrously expensive. If you piss money away on overpriced tourist poo poo, that's your own drat fault and whining about it just makes Floridians laugh at you. Then again we (maybe just me) tend to hate all tourists because they act like loving morons when they come down here. The only thing that makes tourists tolerable is tax dollars and seeing them burn themselves to a bright red because they have no idea how the sun works. grumplestiltzkin has a new favorite as of 00:23 on Jan 7, 2015 |

josiahgould posted:Nope, he means the Boggy Bayou Mullet Festival in Niceville. Imagine a redneck county fair that actually attracts big music groups. Who then get poo poo tossed at them. Yup! That's the one! And Crestview is horrible, I'd drown at that distillery. It's the Mos Eisley of cities, with a better chance of being jumped, mugged, or geeked out at by a random stranger than L.A. Or Chicago. Things I have seen/done in Florida you will not see anywhere else (maybe): Hurricane Parties are a real thing, and involve lots of drinking. Except when Ivan hit, that poo poo was brutal. Also people who run to the beach to surf in hurricane season because it's the only time there are swells. It will literally rain on one side of the road and not the other. Been pulled over and gotten a ticket by a Game Warden (for driving reasons) Bonfire parties only really get started when someone decides to jump through the blaze. Jumping off bridges into rivers is acceptable and normal behavior The best way to describe the heat and humidity is step into a Sauna right after taking a nice hot shower. That problem breathing you have is real, and no, you won't get used to it for years. If you've never seen a redneck family go to the beach, you're in for a treat. Went to the Crik a lot, went tubing and skim boarding despite poisonous snakes marking about. Someone get life flighted to the hospital because they got their rear end kicked for being gay (happened at my school) My school was k-12, graduating class under 20. You will inevitably be Eskimo brothers with someone you know, or Thats how you meet and become friends. Dipping in school was common place, and some kids would wear three shirts so that they could just open the bottom two and spit so the front one would be clean and no one the wiser. The is a church on every corner. Almost literally. gently caress yo pawn. That plant is goddamn horrible. Everyone thought they were some hard rear end gangster. There are some good things like the quiet, the stars at night, whippoorwills if they aren't outside your window, and touristy poo poo at redneck riviera like Destin. The Emerald coast is beautiful, but the people are toxic. Sorry for  of text.

I just knew that sometimes it was a little colder out than other times. Soulex posted:It will literally rain on one side of the road and not the other.
