Florida is taking pride in what they’re good at

I guess that’s good, to put a positive spin on what you have a demonstrable skill in doing, even if it is something most of us would be embarrassed by. There’s a company putting on what they call Florida Man games, a series of competitions where Floridians can show off their unique talents.

For instance, there’s an “EVADING ARREST OBSTACLE COURSE” where

Floridians are chased by police after stealing copper pipes and catalytic converters. Find the frozen iguana and chuck a gator through a drive thru window to earn a victory, and your freedom.

Very good. These are all useful skill to have when living in a crumbling dystopian swamp that is slowly sinking beneath the sea. Sure. Polish Florida’s reputation while you’re at it.
