the Free Masons don't hide anything

As a lifelong Florida resident, I've got a thing against carpetbaggers.

I can understand that, but then again, half the state falls in that category, including me!

I blame Jimmy Buffett. That is what got me here. For the first couple of years I lived here, I didn't meet anybody that was born here, I was beginning to wonder if anybody was born here. Now, I am married to a local girl and we have two kids, so I am an official Floridian.

You actually fall under the "transplant" category, then. Compare to "low-level/high-level" in anti-Masonry.

If you are going to mention 'transplant' and 'high-level' Masonry in one sentence then we should probably hold a CHiP program.

I call dibs on network's liver.

It's not like he's using it, right? Then again, too much sweet tea probably leads to type 2 diabetes, so maybe you don't want it after all...

Damn him and his excess sugar intake.

I will put your name on the list for my liver Augustus. It would be nice for it to get a work out. I assume you would exercise it well?

I would call claim on something, but I don't need some sugar soaked body part.

I would turn it into a super-fund site.

We were talking about transplanting livers, not brains.

I want something that will benefit me though. I don't know if I could stand playing with coloring books for the rest of my life.

for you, I will leave my tear soaked keyboard. The tears are from all the cruel sweet tea jokes I have endured over the years. //sniff// shame on your Augustus.

I'm right there with you. And these young guys don't even brew it themselves, they just buy the gallons of sweet tea at Publix. At least when I was in the South I showed up an hour early and brewed a Gatorade cooler full of sweet and unsweet tea. Nowadays we get Lipton bottles or Red Diamond. It's not the same, and it sure ain't beer!

They are a vast upgrade from your pop-up books.

Thankfully I have no conscience so guilt has little to no effect on me.

I have a confession to make. I love Arizona Sweet Tea. I love McDonalds Sweet Tea. Don't be hatin'. Just sayin'.

You're in Florida. See, now there's the trouble.

Yep. No alcohol, not even before or after lodge, not even on the premises, not even if we rent the place out to a wedding. No alcohol, no exceptions! I blame the Shriners. They don't want any competition.

I was referring to the fact that you differentiate between Florida and the South. People come down "for a change" and immediately set about turning it into the same thing they were leaving.

Florida is a safe zone of sorts. The south ends at the GA line.
We do take our tea seriously here. My wife keeps telling me that it's what's causing my kidney stones, but I think it's my lack of beer. Everyone knows that if you see a doctor the very first thing he is going to tell you is to drink more fluids and exercise. Given the choices, I think beer would be better than tea.

Does this mean there will be no Easter Egg Hunt this year?
