It's probably only really funny if you saw the Daily Show segment with Ed Helms about this. Oh, wait, no. It's funny even if you haven't.

11. Oops. The CooterFest on the DS was in Florida, I think.

Sorry. My mistake.

12. Yes

Cooters thrive in the salt/fresh water marsh of coastal South Carolina. Often some or one would become trapped in my crab traps and drown. Poor little Cooters.

But there a Cooter is just a Cooter. Nothing more.

10. Yes, but it's fun to watch!

9. Florida. Of course.

Have you ever been to fark.com? They parody and make fun of news stories, and they have these little labels that they attach to stories, like "AMUSING", "STUPID", etc. And they have one that just says "FLORIDA", which I think says it all.

13. I'm going!

What the hell, it'll beat the Chittlin Strut in Salley. Besides, it's not that far and on my B-day, what could be fina? Might even enter the race........but I'll leave before the Gospel concert.

Point of Information: the word cooter is derived from cuta, a widely used West African word for turtle.

Edit: we also call them sliders, food for thought!
