The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported on Tuesday that Seth Kellen is also likely to be sentenced to 30 days in jail after admitting to fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct stemming from a March 2012 incident in which he digitally penetrated a teammate on the Browerville High School basketball team. He was also accused of pulling his pants down in an elevator in front of teammates and an 11-year-old and a 12-year-old student managers, then hitting his teammates in the back with his penis.
Kellen and another former Browerville High athlete, Connor S. Burns, were accused in July 2012 of attacking at least six fellow students. Burns struck a 5-year probation deal similar to Kellens that November.

(43,155 posts)Read any Carl Hiaasen or Tim Dorsey novel, hilarious as can be. There's a self-deprecating quality when it comes to be a Floridian.
But if only citizens of other states realize that their shit does stink pretty awful.

(4,833 posts)It is the incredible contortions that some go through in an attempt to make a Florida joke that, at times, become more than a bit grating.
And what is truly fascinating is that the biggest bozos in the news nearly always turn out to be recent arrivals from somewhere else in the Lower 48. Locations on the I-95 and I-75 corridors - NY, NJ, PA, OH, IL being the most prevalent.

(43,155 posts)Indeed, we are crazy.
It's just that everyone else is pretty much just as crazy.
We're just the only ones honest about it, that's all.

I haven't had a drink in several days. Perhaps I need to rectify that oversight.
To Ashling - Peace.
