Florida's Mascot...

[Butch103]

I can see it now...the first NDI meeting someone from Florida runs up to someone from Ontario and say " Hi there I am a "conch" diver.......show me your beaver".................

 

[scubanole]

I am not in FL now, but I was born and raised there.(Bob I was raised in Bartow, my Mom and brother still live there). I am close now less than 20 miles. I like the Florida Conchs. Since I am no longer in FL I will not vote

 

[Bob]

Scubanole,
I go through Bartow on my way to West Palm. Bartow is like Plant City and Lakeland, it's not a sleepy little town any more! Give me a call next time you're home and we'll try to dive somewhere. :tree: Bob.

 

[The Chairman]

She graduated from the class of '70... not that I am THAT old... :tease:

 

[scubanole]

Bob, next time I am down I will get up with you. You are right, it is no longer a sleepy town.

 

[scubanole]

Doc, I grad in 85.

 

[Divesherpa]

How about Pops the Procambarus Erythrops?

That's indigenous to Florida, well, to about a 3 county area.

Makes us sound more intelligent, since we can't count and all.

 

[The Chairman]

I forgot to crown the winner...

The noble,

The persistent,

The beautiful,

Florida Conch...

No matter the fancy exteriors, deep down inside all of us are slugs at heart!
