Florida Man Friday: Crossdresser Robs Bank, Steals Cop Car

Has another week of heavy news and vitriolic politics left you exhausted? Then here comes Florida Man to the rescue, with his inexhaustible energy for low-rent hijinks.

So ignore that Facebook newsfeed, close those Drudge and HuffPo browser tabs, mix yourself a margarita, and join me — won’t you — on another thrilling…

Florida Man Friday!

Let us begin, as we always do with…

I try not to get too judgey on Florida Man Friday, but seriously, who does that?

Oh, right — Florida Man does that.

And Florida Woman Does THIS

Fake ceiling, real desperation.

He was off duty, and clearly not… what was I saying?

If you’re anything like me, you’re eagerly awaiting the day that Florida Man discovers bitcoin, and then somehow ends up buying Venezuela in a digital meth deal gone wrong.

Rolling zombies getting set to invade Key West.

Details:

Don’t be surprised if you’re visiting Key West later this month and you stumble upon thousands of zombies roaming the island’s historic streets like a tropical scene straight out of AMC’s “The Walking Dead” series.

They’ll be in town Oct. 20 for the city’s annual quirky “Zombie Bike Ride,’’ which draws more than 6,000 visitors dressed as the living dead.

Men, women and children (and probably some pets) don scary white paint and zombie wear as they pedal around the island city in this pre-Halloween event. Expect zombie clowns, brides and skeletal-looking minions scaring folks along a 4-mile route.

If you’ve ever spent any time in Key West, this is pretty much the least-weird thing you’ll ever see there.

(Yes, I’ve used this punchline before about Key West, and I’ll probably use it as the punchline for every Key West story. Because I know — and love — Key West.)

I bet before this time next year, I could do a Best of Florida Man column consisting of nothing but stories where Florida Man or Woman ends up stealing a cop car.

Guess what Vero Beach woman kept in her keister?

Because of course it was a crack pipe.
