LSL eye sores...

Lake Sumter Landing, for all you Village newbies..I've arrived at The villages five or six months ago, and have yet to see the repairs on the roped off lake pier, looks like a boat rammed the pier a while back..Villagers would like that spot, to do some fishing and feed a gator or two, if spotted..Also the navigational hazard of the sunken boat, needs to scraped, so other boats can dock there....

This is a joke thread, right? I can't tell. :confused:

[spring_chicken]

If it keeps people from breaking the law and feeding the gators, I hope it remains roped off.

:shrug:Maybe facetious, maybe uninformed. Who knows. And I agree.... sometimes you can't tell!:confused:

I think the OP is joking.

I have read all of his posts and I can't tell.

For eyesores, I recommend Visine eye drops.

These eyesores seem benign when compared to ladies wearing white shoes after Labor Day.

You think that's bad? I have decided to BE white after Labor Day. ;)

I'm pretty sure the OP was joking because he picked two activities that are not allowed, he needs to understand that when you are using satire on an internet message board you should include an emoticon such as the jester :jester: For feeding alligators, just consider that is off limits everywhere in Florida. For fishing in TV here are the rules:


All fishermen are required to comply with federal, state and local laws, statutes and ordinances while fishing within the boundaries of The Villages. (Licenses are required for those 16 years of age or older. No license is required for those over 65 with proof of age.) For licensing information visit Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (http://www.MyFWC.com). . Licensing can be purchases at your local Wal-Mart.
Fishermen may fish in any lake, canal or stream, whether natural or man made, which can be reached without crossing over or trespassing upon any privately owned property or golf courses.
Fishermen are prohibited to fish in Lake Sumter, Harmeswood or other areas with "No Fishing" signs posted.
Any person crossing into jurisdictional wetlands is in volition of state and federal law and may be prosecuted.

Don't overlook the fleets of ships that cannot dock.

I don't think people appreciate our lighthouse enough. No one ever mentions how much good it does, and how many large vessels would run into each other without it.

:beer3: Thank God. Who needs all those mariners with their salty language on the square?:swear:

[New Englander]

That's only at low tide.

I wish I could be as funny as all of you, but I'm not. I just enjoy and appreciate those who are.

OK, I'll "bite". OP, welcome to the Villages version of Disney World Imagineering. Sit down, take a deep breath, and listen carefully: The dock and sunken boat are FAKE! Actually, so is Lake Sumter as it's man made.

Aloha kiddo. What are you saying? Surely you jest.

[manaboutown]

Those eyesores must be sights for sore eyes.

She must be jesting! I sailed that wee ship into that very dock one dark night when the light at the "Light House" was not working. I though I was surely was going to die. The only thing that happened was the ships wheel was impaled in me crouch. Well, when I staggered over to City Fire for another pint of rum, one of the wenches at the outdoor bar asked "that must hurt!" "Arrrggghhh" I replied, "It's driving me nuts!":22yikes:

The only thing we're missing is the three elephants squirting water at you, and the hippos the come up out of the water. When they add those we will know we are at Disneyland West

[graciegirl]

Better than Disney. Has smart old-er people. Except for Spring Chicken. She isn't old.

I think lake Sumter was lowlands named Cherry lake, before the bulldozers when to work on it many years ago? :shrug:

I think you may have answered part of my question from another thread I started about the creation of Lake Sumter.

Gators are a problem but it's the Sharks hiding in the wreck that scare me.

Oh, yes indeed.. I often lay awake on those chilly heavy fog laden days and nights, listening to the forlorn LSL lighthouse fog horn..So reassuring, lonely, yet mysterious deep throated soundings, far off in the distance..Warning to those of the dangerous perils, of the treacherous Lake Sumter crossings...
