You might think that Florida Man enjoyed a little downtime this week, after doing all that prep-work for the Cat 5 hurricane that never came.
I’m kidding, of course — you would never think that, because Florida Man knows no rest, he needs no breaks, he will give zero F’s, and take no days off. Not while there are still alligators to wrestle, comically petty crimes to commit, and bath salts to eat.
Or do you smoke bath salts? Vape them? I’ll ask Florida Man and get back to you on that one.
In the meantime, join me now on another…
Florida Man Friday!
Won’t you?

Florida Man Breaks Into Home, Cooks Breakfast, Tells Resident to ‘Go Back to Sleep’
This is far from the first time we’ve heard news of Florida Man breaking into people’s houses to make himself a meal, which made wonder if there’s something in the water down there. Then I read the part where “the suspect may have been under the influence of alcohol,” and suddenly everything snapped into place. If Florida Man starts doing this stuff sober, then there will be no stopping him.
Wow, Just Wow

I think the ad saying, “Closed course. Professional driver. Fake supercar.” was kind of a giveaway.
When Florida Man and Playstation Collide
I know the print is tiny, so it says you unlock an achievement in Borderlands 3 called “Florida Man” by blowing yourself up.
Real Florida Man does that in real life, not in videogames.

Florida woman sentenced to prison for $1.6 million family curse scam.
Details:
A Florida woman who claimed to be a fortune teller has been sentenced to three years and four months in prison for taking $1.6 million from a Texas woman to remove a curse from her family.
Sherry Tina Uwanawich, 28, was sentenced last week, according to the Associated Press.
Investigators said she met the victim in Houston in 2007. After gaining the victim’s trust, Uwanawich told her there was a curse on her family.
Let those among us who have not posed as a fake fortune teller in order to scam someone out of nearly two million dollars to remove a non-existent family curse cast the first stone.

By this time next week, we can only hope to hear news that Florida Man and Florida Woman used an even bigger alligator to catch a shark riding an ATV through a mosquito-infested swamp during a hurricane.
We will wait here until then on the next…
Florida Man Friday!
