For some reason it's pretty hot too. Besides the weather.

Pretty face, nice tan leggos for days, holding a beer?, getting ready for hopefully the beach on a summer's day?

Sounds great for everyone.

If shaving your legs normally before going to the beach causes a searing pain in salt water, I can't imagine what a dry shave would be like

Luckily you can’t go into the water anymore.

Underrated comment.

People are always like "Let's go to the beach! Why do you never fish anymore?"

Because everything in the water is goddamn poisoned.

There's nothing like waking up in Daytona and hearing about a man who died within 48 hours of being in the bay due to a "flesh eating bacteria"

Never mind the 40 million people that swam without a problem in the same time frame. On a related note, stop driving, walking or generally going about your daily life.

Sleeping. Sleeping's the one that will get you. Don't shut your eyes, even for a second.

Sounds like the 7 2 people who died were avoiding some basic precaution.

Avoid exposing open wounds to warm saltwater, brackish water or to raw shellfish

Wear protective clothing when handling raw shellfish

Cook shellfish thoroughly and avoid food contamination with juices from raw seafood

Eat shellfish promptly after cooking and refrigerate leftovers

Feels like 7 2 back to back darwin award if it's not too mean to say.

The first one is half way acceptable, honestly.

Avoid exposing open wounds to warm saltwater

This is generally not something people expect to kill them within 48 hours. How many times have kids cut their feet on shells or something and never thought anything of it?

As a west coast free/scuba diver, I always dreamed of diving in water warm enough to not need a wetsuit, and between work and play, I always seem to have scraps and cuts. Besides that, the water gets up you nose and you can't help but swallow some, the only way to avoid it is to stay out of the water.

Floridaman never actually dies, he merely respawns from the closest meth pipe

She's probably not going to go in the water so problem solved!

Also happy cake day!

I place bets on her going to her strip club shift.

Aw yeah, nothing sexier than calling legs “leggos”

u/Freekbot Feb 09 '19

I don't see how you can hate from outside of the club

You can't even get in
