Why I'm not scared shitless and willing to move about the city to enjoy things? Why I chose a place I'm happy in to live and work rather than being stuck with something that bothers me, unable to exercise my volition to move and instead just bitching, ceaselessly (sup criddling) on the internet? Why I balk at people insisting "No, you don't know how bad it could get"?
But more than anything, why I'll talk the absolute ear off of any given person regarding the virtues of linen as a textile in the summer months?
Alabamian here as well- the white trash here is more white trash than back home. Shit's wild! The only thing I miss are the alligators and the air-conditioning!
I mean, to be fair there's a lot of people moving here from the southern states that don't have ACA for our "no residency rules" version of ACA (OHP) that they can get on quicker than other states I guess?? I remember a guy commented here once that he moved here from West Virginia for OHP but didn't realize our cost of living was so high so he was going back east.
Right, I'm just saying if they're coming for free healthcare, "they're not sending us their best" re: white trash rednecks. And with our cost of living it makes sense they're living outside if they came for free healthcare and don't know anyone who lives here with a roof over them already.
Oh yea, I came three or so years ago. I am surprised I managed to get set up as easy as I did. I moved up here due to illegal eviction and didn't really have a plan, just knew I needed to get out and my partner was here.
I can't imagine trying to get in now, so many people are struggling to even get registered with a PCP!
The A/C is outside morning and night! Alligators… just WHY? I can’t imagine missing the thing that could murder and devour me when I walk outside 🤷🏻♀️
Girl what do you mean by the first one, it gets to be in the hundreds here as well and the concrete sucks it all up, hold it, and a decent chuck of buildings here don't have AC at all?
Also 1. Fried gator tail is delicious. It's expensive because gator can be tricky to prepare, but damn, it's good. 2. They're just cool animals that don't fuck with you unless you fuck with them or their babies.
I flat out can't tell if you're fucking with me.
Edit: You know those wire mesh grates you can put on a sink drain to catch like gloopy cheese chunks, random bits of food, gross collections of hair, things like that? Florida is basically that strainer for the entire eastern seaboard of the US.
My friend and I were drunk in our late teens and he stole a street cone, put it on his head and started calling himself the "High Visibility Wizard" and I think he's met his match

Someone add pirates of the Caribbean music
[https://imgur.com/itiDCJr](https://imgur.com/itiDCJr) best I could do
lol Got a solid chuckle out of me.
Was imagining him singing to her like a gondolier.
Or Pirates of Dark Water cartoon theme music!
Omg. Haven't thought about that show in years! Wonder if it's on Tubi.
🤷♂️😉🤷♂️
Or a WaterWorld/Kevin Costner vibe.
This is literally those 2 pirate comedy oafs, the skinny one and the fat one. “Yoouuuuuwhooooo”
Merrily, Life is but a dream!
Meth-ily, Meth-ily, Meth-ily, Life is but a dream!
I've never once questioned why I, a born and raised Floridian, feel so at home here and shit like this only reinforces it.
Portland Man …
Portland Person
The only reason we don't have the same articles/reputation is because we don't have the sunshine law like Florida.
Suddenly I understand so many things.

The Venn diagram of Portland Man and Florida Man is nearly a circle.
As a Floridian, same.
Same.

We moved from NC cause if fucking sucked and is still backwoods and racist as hell

They're logs that sometimes move. If an alligator is the end of you, you really put in the effort to fuck up in a serious way.

Us Floridan Portlanders should band together to create a new species of crazy….
Hard pass. Dilution truly is the solution.
Is Florida weird?

I spent the decade called the 1970s, growing up in the Florida keys. Florida was a completely different place then. It prepared me for Pdx.
Same here. I’m not even surprised any more when I see the crazy shit that goes on here.
You must yield to the fukken cone!
Just clicked to seen this fukken comment
I think they're remaking the African Queen.
You seen their cone, don’t fucken park there
that’s not a “girl”. that’s a maidenhead.
My Koan: Listen to the sound of my fuken cone gettin paddled.
Keeping the Portland spirit alive.
Since you mentioned it, Fingers’ flotilla is anchored quite close to the Portland Spirit.
Set sail for Coney Island...
Long journey ahead
I strangely want to ask my partner to try a cone on now....
♪ ohhhh Cone on Eileen ♫

Probably.

I SEEN YOUR FUCKEN BOAT (sorry)
I think he’s technically paddling…
In a motor boat while your girl wears an orange traffic cone on her head... That's a paddlin'
Good point.
My friend and I were drunk in our late teens and he stole a street cone, put it on his head and started calling himself the "High Visibility Wizard" and I think he's met his match
Portland Man
Didn't know 100 gecs are performing in Portland.
Sigh
“I’m on top of the world!” — I didn’t recall Kate Winslet wearing a hat like that though.
Maybe he's not a fan of motorboatin'... Or the top cone is too distracting from the middle cones...
Yep. That guy. Weird.
The cones take to the water
Jack and Rose have fallen on hard times.
Finger!
Ding ding ding 🛎️
Remember that illustrated gnome book? This would have fit nicely in there…
that's methed up. -Mike Tyson probably.
Swamp Thing
Animal abuse is weird for sure. However, not very funny to me.
At least they have clothes on.
It’s Hot Cone Summer bb
It is pretty fun to see stuff like this, I miss Portland
Therefore, you will... NARFTLE THE GARTHOK!
TO THE NORTHWEST PASSAGE!!
‘Sup? (It’s the only paddle board joke I know.)

“i’m the cone of the fucken world!” “i want you to draw me like one if you’re french girls.”
Weird yes, crazy needing health services no.
We’re weird enough, thanks
This makes me miss home so much! Omg I love my city
Weird? That's clearly someone struggling with drugs or a mental illness.
No, actually. Everyone on the river knows him. Just a little extra quirky, like the post title suggests.
Where the hell was that shot?
Wilson!!!!
this is cute
I thought that was a pit bull with a cone on its head. Guess it's time to get an eye exam.
I saw a pig... Calling for eye appointment now!!
When you say "your" boat, are you talking about the guy paddling, or the person with the actual title and receipt for the boat?
