Okay, folks in Florida, which of you are going to compete?

First ever Florida Man games will feature beer belly wrestling and 'evading arrest' obstacle course

It ain’t the Olympics, but a group of Floridians plan to host competitions themed according to the collective antics of the beer-loving, gator-possessing, rap-sheet heavy, mullet-wearing social media phenomenon known as “Florida Man.”

There has to be a number of you competing!

The part about "Evading Arrest Obstacle Course in which contestants jump over fences and through yards while being chased by real police officers" sounds like a real hoot.

I mean that is fine practice. But it has been well established in order to officially become Florida man, you name must be in the news with "A Florida man..." preceding it.

Florida crew checking in..

This sounds more fun...
“Florida Man Fire Bombs Garage That Impounded His Car, Hits His Own Vehicle”

Than this excercising part..
"Evading Arrest Obstacle Course in which contestants jump over fences and through yards while being chased by real police officers"

Perhaps being chased by popo in lawn tractor (in a controlled track environment of course for safety's sake)


Tier 1 Florida Man would just crash the contest and dominate with Florida Man shennanigans. I am not that man anymore.

The Chairmanatee will opt out. Heck, I wasn't even born here! (sez just about everyone).

 

[Ghost95]

Sounds interesting.

Do they provide the alcohol and explosives or do I have to bring my own?

Might have to bring "extra" explosives just in case all they have is weak ass black cats and sparkers...

Do they provide the alcohol and explosives or do I have to bring my own?

A true Florida man always brings his own.

I was logged onto a law enforcement site reading about a contest like this coincidentally taking place at the same time and location called “Shooting Unarmed Suspects Evading Arrest in an Obstacle Course.”
Afterwards, people can wander out to Jacksonville Beach and commiserate with the grounded sailboat guy with no insurance stuck in the sand by the public pier until the city of Jacksonville Beach eats his unsalvageable wreck.
It ain’t called Floriduh for nuthin’ folks.
