Probably axle grease and peppermint oil. Kids are calling it Green Christmas.

I like how we’re not putting “Florida Man” in the headline anymore.

Like, you don’t even need to, everything else about the headline tells you.

I will cop to it that my job occasionally involves physically restraining men, some of whom are rather slippery, and many of whom are wearing fewer clothes than is preferable. But I wear gloves when doing so, and find myself criticizing the officers’ approach.

I’m the age of Fentanyl and opioids, meth has really fallen out of public awareness. But not for everyone.

C’mon, you can’t just leave that there without elaboration.

I’m assuming “massage therapist”, but maybe not. Maybe “slippery naked guy wrangling” is actually a recognized profession. Possibly only in Florida, though.

Not surprisingly, the excellent scene in which Tom Hardy’s Bronson forces the prison librarian to grease him up in anticipation of wrestling multiple guards is not on YouTube. Below is just the lead-in.

Interesting that they just kinda touch him with bare hands. Whenever I see German police arrest anyone these days (on TV!) they seem to be wearing either leather or disposable gloves.
