According to this article in the Tallahassee Democrat, noted FLDS polygamist Warren Jeffs is supposedly in the Leesburg area for the possible purpose of acquiring property. :Puking Leesburg is near Orlando and is a couple hundred miles southeast of where I am.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I told you Florida is where all the freaks go to retire. There is a never-ending stream of weirdness that flows into and out of this state, as evidenced by, oh where to begin? The Mariel Boat Lift. The Elian Gonzales fiasco. The 2000 Presidential Election. Warren Jeffs builds his own little private DisneyWorld (WarrenWorld: has kind of a ring to it, doesn't it?). Fabulous. Where can I sign up?

Since there's a 10K bounty on his head for info leading to his arrest... If you all post some links to pictures of this guy, I'll go for a drive down to Jesusland (just down the street from Fantasyland, and Adventureland but is around the corner from Tomorrowland :rolleyes: ) and see if I can find him.

Now, everybody pray (or whatever) for a very carefully placed hurricane. :D

...Polygamyland has kind of a nice ring to it.

I just can't help but wonder what kind of rides you would put there. :rolleyes:

Everybody now..."It's a small bed afterall, it's a small bed afterall, it's a small bed afterall, I can't fit all my wives!"

:D

It really makes perfect sense for Jeffs to establish polygamyland in Florida. He can set a little community like the Polynesian Culural Center in Hawaii. He could call it the Polygamy Cultural Center and have little scenes of various wives in different activities such as making clothes, teaching children, circles of wives mending things and chit chatting with one another, gardening activities, on and on. Not sure how they would depict the procreation scenes, but I'm sure it wll all be hugh success in Florida.

From my favorite Tool song, "Some say a comet will fall from the sky. Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves. Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still. Followed by millions of dumbfounded dips**ts. Some say the end is near. Some say we'll see armageddon soon. I certainly hope we will cuz I sure could use a vacation from this Silly s**t, stupid s**t... One great big festering neon distraction, I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied. Learn to swim... Cuz I'm praying for rain and I'm praying for tidal waves I wanna see the ground give way. I wanna watch it all go down...."

It is all a part of the game of life, dogzilla. Such religions make the whole world go around and keep us focused on normalacy. We live in a colorful universe peopled with strange and bizarre people. That is the meaning of existence....to stay normal among the abnormal...sorry that you didn't want to be my fourth wife...you wouldn't have to wear a bikini like the first three and you could still be a vegetarian....but you will need to make six or so babies...but that should be no problem....oh and you can still be a wicca.... :D

Sorry, why me, I'm allergic to giving birth. :p

I still want to pull up a lawn chair and watch 'em all self-destruct.

Perhaps he is thinking of purchasing Splendid China. That compound might be big enough to house all his wives and build the BoM themepark. Unless the LDS church beats him to it. :duh

Hmm, I wonder who purchased it? Wouldn't it be wild if it was the Mormon church?

May 2005: Property has been purchased for redevelopment. Don't expect anything as splendid...

[dogzilla]

It would be wild, but I sincerely doubt it.

Many of the old roadside attractions here have been bought out. Some go out of business because people want a polished, packaged, well let's face it, "Disney-fied" vacation. Places like the mermaid show at Weeki Wachi springs (my spelling dubious) are struggling to remain open. Either the State purchased Splendid China, or Disney did, or someone else who wants to change it completely into a nightclub or something. There's no telling.

However, out here, a couple thousand miles from the morg corridor, we're pretty insulated from the long arm of the Church. It's not likely they're buying up chunks of rotting swampland. (Most of Florida = rotting swampland. Drained and overdeveloped, true, but still geologically just rotting swampland.)

And thank all the dogs for that. (Dyslexic: I meant "gods" but then decided the typo was more appropriate, so I left it that way.)

Oh really??:

A ranch five times larger than Orlando and playing a key role in solving Central Florida's growing thirst got approval Tuesday to use as much water as some cities consume.

But the Deseret Ranch of more than 300,000 acres of open range, wetlands and citrus groves that spread across parts of three counties was authorized to pump less than half as much water as it originally requested.

"We told them [they] need to do more work to show us why [they] need that much water," said Claire Muirhead, a hydrologist with the St. Johns River Water Management District.

The Deseret Ranch, owned by the Mormon church, has long had a permit for 6 million gallons drawn daily from nearly 200 wells scattered across thousands of acres of pastureland.

Crap.

Okay, you know what makes me REALLY mad about that?

On my gardening web site, there's a thread today about the St. John's Water Mgt. District and how they are about to impose another water-usage restriction on all residents within the 18-county area. Currently, you aren't allowed to water (as in, use sprinklers) between 10am - 4pm. Now they want to further impose restrictions and allow watering only two days per week. For many, many Florida gardeners, this means death to about half of your yard. You either have to install an extremely expensive irrigation system (like a drip system) or hand-water with a garden hose. Some plants, like orchids, bromeliads, colocasias and alocasias, require daily watering during the summer. Deep watering. I don't even have a quarter acre and it takes me about 3 hours to water by hand with a garden house. (If my soaker hose timer doesn't work -- and that's doing a sort of slap-dash job of it.) My friend in Jacksonville has a half acre and is a working artist: no money to install an irrigation system and he has a life and cannot stand outside holding a garden hose all day, every day. He's in a bit of a pickle, trying to figure out how to keep his garden going. And, since he's a painter, and tends to paint plants and landcapes... his garden is his muse. His livelihood depends on it.

And now it turns out these watering restrictions are due, in part, to ranches like this, who draw far more on the environment than they put back in. This is not really an environment condusive to ranching in the first place. It's why Florida isn't known for exporting livestock, ya know? These people have no business whatsoever down here, sucking up resources and not contributing jack.

Now, I'm just pissed. :mad:

I'm sure the cows don't care much for FL either. But the gators may miss the calves if they were to leave. :slap:

Hey just think, if the ranch over pumps the aquifer you might get a bunch of mini salt lakes all over FL from the infiltration of sea water! :duh

No birth control? Sounds like another retirement community to me.

That's ok, I have the answer for this- give Dogzilla a broken mop handle and set her loose looking for Jeffs.... :eek: :eek: :Crazy:
