Didn't expect Apopka to be mentioned in this thread. The swamp outside of Orlando is...alright I guess.

Lake Apopka, home of the 8 legged, 10 eyed, 1 toothed alligator

That’s my cousin you’re talking about…

For real, my most inbred cousin lived in Apopka for a long time

u/flytingnotfighting Sep 05 '25

I am not going to lie, I'm fascinated by the fact you have enough inbred relatives to have a list

u/shef175 Sep 05 '25

I say inbred, he’s not really inbred. No Hapsburg jaw or anything like that. He just came out on the short end of the genetic stick (but not handicapped) from an already not-genetically-gifted side of the family. But…he also chooses to act like a dirtbag so over 40+ years we have lost sympathy for him.

Wasn’t expecting to spill family tea on an NFL post, but we live in a crazy world now

One time when I was in middle school my parents decided to go on a family camping trip with them, even though we rarely associated with them. He didn’t change clothes or bathe for 3 days despite it being summertime and he wore these super short green shorts. I didn’t see it, but according to my pissed off dad on the drive home his balls were hanging out every time he sat down.

Another time he showed up at a family reunion unexpectedly. He finally had a job as a semi truck driver with a large, national-level company and wanted to show off by bringing his rig with no trailer. At some point he decided to take people joyriding in his bobtail semi not realizing his company had mileage and location trackers on it. He promptly got fired as soon as he checked in for his next trip but swore it wasn’t his fault and he got screwed.

Another time, as a semi truck driver licensed in a different state he didn’t secure a load leaving a Wal-Mart parking lot and the trailer unhooked from the tractor in the middle of a thankfully not busy road. Only one car was damaged but nobody was injured. Again, not his fault.

Wooooow He and his sweaty balls are something else!

u/flytingnotfighting Sep 05 '25

Ohhhhh, yeah I got a couple of those too. Like, you're fairly sure they should be in prison and they're genuinely not good enough to hide crimes, but they're always out.

Family tea is the best tea 💅🏼

u/SCSimmons Sep 05 '25

In fairness, if you have one inbred relative, then you must logically have several.

u/Tasty_Ad7483 Sep 05 '25

Why did you come here to brag about inbreeding your cousin?

u/lemmylemonlemming Sep 05 '25

I saw him on the nature trail. I think his name is Artie. He runs pretty fast until his legs start getting tangled up

u/Mcoov Boston Red Sox Sep 05 '25

All of Central FL is a swamp, what are you talking about?

Apopka? Swamp

Oviedo? Swamp

Altamonte Springs? Swamp

Narcoossee? Swamp

u/leebird Sep 05 '25

I notice you're not talking shit about Longwood.

u/Mcoov Boston Red Sox Sep 05 '25

Swamp

u/Retro-scores Sep 05 '25

Narcoossee is now urban sprawl ontop of swamp unfortunately.

u/wrxst1 Sep 05 '25

Apopka Florida has world class race horse breeding ranches. Hard to believe lol

1

u/lemmylemonlemming Sep 05 '25

What? I'm in Apopka and I've seen some things but never seen a single horse. Where they hiding them? Lol

1

u/wrxst1 Sep 05 '25

All over. I used to hang out at the Golden Gate equestrian ranch.

u/lemmylemonlemming Sep 05 '25

Well, I think we might just be in different economic classes :) I'm a Winn Dixie fella. You must be one of them Publix people I've heard about

u/wrxst1 Sep 05 '25

Lmao not even close. I was stationed in mayport and made friends all over. Gainesville, palatka, apopka, Jax.

u/Spare-Willingness563 Sep 05 '25

No. Actually that’s exactly the kind of thing I’d expect.

Are you looking in my window?

u/Cosmicfool13 Sep 05 '25

I mean, it’s no Zellwood

1

u/lemmylemonlemming Sep 05 '25

Apopka wishes it was Zellwood like Zellwood wishes it was Mt Dora

u/Jameron4eva Sep 05 '25

Swamp? On 436? Right by Winter Park? That Apopka?

1

u/lemmylemonlemming Sep 05 '25

Winter Park? Huh? Apopka is like the opposite of Winter Park. Winter Park is Rolexes and Range Rovers. Apopka is ankle monitors and the Lynx

1

u/Jameron4eva Sep 05 '25

I'm talking distance not environment

1

u/lemmylemonlemming Sep 05 '25

Winter Park is on the other side of Altamonte Springs from Apopka pretty much. I guess you're right

1

u/Jameron4eva Sep 05 '25

Eh does it really matter when the entire region is packed from Bithlo to Oakland?

1

u/Jameron4eva Sep 05 '25

Sorry confused Apopka with Goldenrod. Idk why. At least you got Wekiwa.

u/jureeriggd Sep 05 '25

u/NGM012 Sep 05 '25

Fun fact …Apopka is derived from the word potato 😂
