    I can not accept this as an answer. I can only believe some skinny, mullet wearing Floridian in a muscle shirt spit a watermelon seed into a tree and that seed was then germinated by that mullet wearing guys saliva, only to sprout and inject itself into that host tree, wrap its vine around it and drain it of its nutrients and life force to grow that mutant watermelon we see hanging in that video. Florida, man.....

    Florida Man Wanted For Taking Part In Capitol Riots Arrested At Inauguration

    Miami (CBSMiami/CNN) — A Florida man who was part of the US Capitol riots and knew he was wanted by authorities, returned to Washington, DC anyway to attend the inauguration, the Justice Department said in a court filing Thursday.

    Authorities say they tried to arrest Samuel Camargo at his Deerfield Beach home on Tuesday, January 19 but he wasn’t there. He was found in D.C. the next day, which was Inauguration Day.

    Camargo reportedly told investigators he knew he was wanted by the Justice Department but still tried to attend the inauguration. :eek:

    Camargo faces four charges related to the January 6 riots that include civil disorder; knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority; knowingly engaging in disorderly or disruptive conduct in any restricted building or grounds; and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, according to the criminal complaint.

    Florida Man did something crazy on your birthday

    There is a website that when you put in your birth date, will give you an outrageous "Florida man" news story, about some kind of insane crime a male in the Sunshine State committed on your special day. Type just the month and day into floridamanbirthdaychallenge.com and voila! Nut-jobbery abounds. On my September birthday a naked Florida man ran around a Chik-fil-a parking lot, swearing and telling everyone to look at his genitals. See? It's fun!

    Here's another "Florida man" rabbit hole for you to go down: Type in "Florida man" in the BoingBoing search and enjoy. There's tons of entertaining tales of lecherous and absurd acts.

    In fact, these stories are so popular that recently someone fabricated this fake report and made it look like CBS News posted it:

    [​IMG]

    This is a fake tweet. According to Fact Check: "The mugshot featured in the fake CBS News tweet shows a man who was arrested in March 2016 for burglarizing a Louisiana church, according to a Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office news release."

    CBS News never posted that yet it spread like wildfire on social media, because if you say "Florida man" everyone will believe whatever is written after–especially when using a guy with as striking a mug as above.

    In my estimation it seems to have all started with the face-eating bath salts guy story in 2012. That still seems like the granddaddy of them all. Face-eating bath salts guy captured national attention with its sheer horror, and as the media is wont to do, a flurry of Florida man stories followed and soon Florida went from lovely vacation spot to court jester.
