WHAT HAPPENED TO ORLANDO?

IT WAS A SLEEPY little town in central Florida known for oranges and bass fishing and being half way between both coasts. Then this guy named Walt put a little roads side attraction near Lake Buena Vista and it all started going to hell in a bucket.

Soon men who always had shoes that matched their belts and women in Moo-Moo's brought themselves down to "winter" and all their kids and grand kids would come and visit. These people would actually see their families more often in the winter, then in the summer when they lived a mile apart. Stately orange groves got replaced by tin cans all in a row and more bad plaid people brought their blue hair and store bought teeth to central Florida.

Soon others saw that Walt's little roadside attraction was something and they came and built their own. It was no longer good enough to watch girls pretend to be mermaids and s*** air from rubber hoses behind a rock. Now they need space thingies and animal thingies and more and more road side attractions got built. Soon Walt said, "D*MN, they are stealing my thunder" So Walt added on to his roadside attraction, then he did it again and again and again.

And the little tin cans got replaced by double-wide tin cans and everyone had a car and a golf cart in their carport. More and more orange groves fell to Orlando sprawl and more and more natural Florida wetlands became parking lots for Publix and Winn-Dixie, all those blue hairs got to feed the grand kids-right?

And then there was a great big freeze and the orange groves died and from Orlando to Ocala and maybe soon Chattanooga became one big Orlando suburb, filled with crooked little people whose rotten little children and grandchildren come down each winter to see a Mouse, an ocean and poke a stick at an Alligator.

Not only am I in pain from laughing my a$* off, your facts are 100% accurate. The only thing you left out was Benny Hinn. Thanks for the great laugh!

Too funny, you should be a writer and I would have to admit that I agree with your writings. By the way--where are the Orlando dates??

Now this monstrosity of a town is inching way to close to my own little paradise,
and all the little Orlando rich boys are crowding my beach, and getting on our waves.......

Stay out Orlando!!!

Sorry, I just came for the weather. I tried to go to the water, but nobody wanted to pay me to live by the water. I've heard from a pretty reliable source the 20th date is still on. Just a matter of time until its confirmed. However, I'm still fretting.

I'm Panickin too Duff - I much prefer staying right here at home than having to make a road trip to either South Florida or Tampa. I'm hoping that your source is right, but if so why didn't they announce it with the rest of the dates? Guess we'll have to wait until next week to see!
