Last week, something absolutely unthinkable happened.

John — yes, John, the writer of It Happens in Florida and proud creator of our beloved Florida Friday blogs — forgot to write one.

Now, you’d think this would be a minor blip, a small oversight in the grand timeline of “Florida Weirdness.” But no. The cast and crew didn’t take it lightly. You see, when you build your entire week around Florida Friday chaos and then the blog doesn’t appear… well, things unravel. Fast.

First, the cameraman showed up to set dressed as an alligator. Not in a costume. No, he had duct-taped pool noodles to his arms, painted his face green, and insisted on being called “Gator Steve.” The sound guy refused to record him, claiming, “We don’t mic reptiles.”

Then, one of the extras hijacked the snack table, declaring it an independent nation called “Snackistan,” with Doritos as its official currency. Negotiations quickly broke down when John (still blogless) attempted to pay for a cookie with a granola bar.

Meanwhile, the director was spotted trying to wrestle a plastic flamingo off the roof of a van because “if John’s not working, someone’s gotta keep the spirit of Florida alive.” We’re not sure if she won.

By the time Friday actually rolled around, the entire crew had staged a mutiny. Their demands? More dog treats, an inflatable kiddie pool in the office, and a legally binding promise from John never to forget a Florida Friday again.

So, lesson learned: if the blog doesn’t get written, the crew will descend into Florida-level madness. And trust us, no one wants to see what happens when the snack table officially secedes again.

Stay tuned — John swears he’s back on track… unless he gets distracted by a gator in the Publix parking lot.
