I've lived in Florida since I was 19, and I’m 35 now, so I've seen more than my fair share of "Florida Man" stunts. Some impressive, some stupid, and most of them are both.
But the one I heard about earlier takes the cake for this week, at least.
In Tallahassee, Chuck E. Cheese was arrested in the middle of a birthday party. The officials caught the mouse red-handed, handcuffed him, and took him outside in full costume. (I guess they didn’t want to ruin the illusion for the kids?)
Turns out the giant rodent was wanted for credit card theft and fraud.
Sounds like that’s one birthday party the guests won’t forget anytime soon.
I’ve linked the New York Post article in case you want to check it out. In the meantime, has anyone checked on @moffittjc? Sounds like something he'd do. :P

If I was going to commit a crime like that, I'd do it in a Mickey Mouse costume, not a Chuck E. Cheese costume!

@thislittlepennyearns And probably easier to get a job at Chuck E. Cheese than at Disney World.

Well, I'm sure the Chuck costumes are much cheaper. LOL.

@moffittjc I would imagine.
Lol.
I don't know I haven't been to either in years.
You heard the Chuck E Cheeses are being turned into places more like Dave and Busters.

We also have giant pythons as well. Sometimes the pythons eat the alligators, and sometimes the alligators eat the pythons. And every now and then, someone's pet dog disappears....

@id_peace I just saw a video the other day of a man who was walking along a body of water, stopped for a second and looked at the water, and then dove in and came back up to the surface with a very large python in his hands.

I guess he wasn't making enough cheddar as the mouse?
