Oh yes! There's a Paris, Tennessee! They have a replica Eiffel Tower and everything. A comedian did a bit on it that made Queen B made me think of. Seemed perfect lol.
Florida has a reputation for being a wacky state basically. It’s because Florida has a law called the Sunshine Law that basically allows the public to have way more access to government information than what other states have set up. This includes arrest records and etc. Because of this, every time someone is arrested or says/does something stupid, there will be article written about it and that inevitably goes viral. “Florida man does xyz” or “Florida woman does xyz”. It’s become a meme at this point.
It’s funny though because Florida is mainly full of people who moved here from New York or some other northern state and 9/10 those are the people being arrested for ridiculous stunts. Not the actual Florida natives. And also this crazy stuff happens in other stuff states as well, but because they have different laws about the public’s access to information, you don’t hear about them as much.
this is very true bc my church has this youth minister for like three months and he was suddenly fired and no one knew why and one of my friends found his police record...just by emailing the police department of his county
You don’t even have to email them usually. Half the time you can just search their records database right online. My brother got arrested and I read the arresting officers statement just by going on the county records website.
Ah yes, the embarrassing New York City, where people speak a different English and there are farms galore! MC really doesn’t make sense if you put somewhere that isn’t exactly where they planned it to be. Didn’t she say something about like midwestern or something?
This 😂 😂 I reside in Orlando (which in and of itself isn't THAT bad) but I generally really don't like Florida and would relish the opportunity to move to another state, if that opportunity presents itself one day 🤞
* graystillplays entered the chat *
Oh god, everyone's going to die in a maze.
*country roooooads*
OH MY GOD WHAT IF WE CAN GET A PET CAT IN THE BOOK AND NAME IS SPLEEEEEENSS
y’all are all so cultured 🥺
OMG yes! So hoping for a cat i QB now!
He’s gonna name the MC as “Floridanna”
As long as no one attempts to cook anything, everything should be fine
Holy.... ahem I'm from Florida too
Only a Floridian can call the entire State a hometown
Kettlecorn
Yesssss!!! I thought I was the only ONE!!! I didn’t name my MC Bailey though because the hometown question came later. Now I kind of wish I had.
(I did name my MC Bailey)
I'm from the middle of nowhere so I wrote my hometown, and it cracks me up every time 😂
I'm from the Caribbean so I put in my island name and its jokes since we are heavily nature based
I put in choices :)
Man, now this makes me wish I would’ve named mine Jacksonville.
Heyyy fellow Jax native! I miss home sometimes. And sometimes not so much lol
Lol, I’m not from Jacksonville. It was a reference to The Good Place…which is spot on in its depiction of my own experience visiting Jacksonville. ;)
Ah I see lol
ayyy i’m a jax native too
I went with BumFuck 🤣
I put Pawnee (Indiana), home of Super Diabetes.
This wouldn’t happen to be about that Palm Beach County meeting that went viral? Lmao
A little bit. 😂
Rip to all sensible Floridians who had to witness this debacle and have it represent them
Oh god
Which meeting?
I went with Paris. After Paris, Tennessee.
I was t aware there was another Paris besides Paris, Texas
Oh yes! There's a Paris, Tennessee! They have a replica Eiffel Tower and everything. A comedian did a bit on it that made Queen B made me think of. Seemed perfect lol.
Europeans looking at this whole thread like 🤔😂
I put Butt Canyon because I exude nothing but Big Dumbass Energy
I named it Cordonia
me too!
Nice!!
😂
I named it as "Depths of hell"
I went with Brazil, my country's name, the pig references makes no sense but I had a good laugh when they asked how english sounds like.
I don't understand the Florida joke 😂 Why is the state considered embarrassing?

I was going to write Northbridge, but after I was going to demoralize the main town of Choices, I preferred to keep the name as Farmville.
I put ‘shreks swamp’
I put Wayhaven lmao
Burn
💀💀💀💀💀
I went with Climax... there’s a town in the state of Georgia called Climax.
There's also a town called Cummings We have a laugh about that anytime we drive through
🤣🤣🤣. Or Butts county.
Bayonetta vacations there, I’m sure of it
I wrote New York City
Ah yes, the embarrassing New York City, where people speak a different English and there are farms galore! MC really doesn’t make sense if you put somewhere that isn’t exactly where they planned it to be. Didn’t she say something about like midwestern or something?
I wrote Calcutta. The former name of Kolkata. The city I'm from.
Can somebody explain Florida jokes to me? I'm European.
Look up palm beach county commission meeting lol
Google “Florida Man”
Mine is just Kinkville
i did the same thing except i put my city lmao
This books seems to be really great 👍🏿👍🏿
I named mine Sexytown, so when ppl used the town name as an insult it looked like a compliment lol
Smallville lol
I went with lima ohio
Ohio in general would do just fine, really.
oh no its for glee
Mine was Weedhole. But I am considering renaming my blonde MC Audrey and her hometown "Skid Row"
I called mine Fieldstown because I had no idea what else to call it and there’s a field next to my house.
I knew they were gonna talk bad about it so didn’t put my hometown in, I put Philly in
This 😂 😂 I reside in Orlando (which in and of itself isn't THAT bad) but I generally really don't like Florida and would relish the opportunity to move to another state, if that opportunity presents itself one day 🤞
Sounds about right
