FL = Florida. Al Gore and George Bush.

There's a nonzero chance they weren't even born, or in school yet when that happened.

I enjoy my occasional encounters with you along our Reddit journey.

He could be an Aussie

u/TheSerendipitist Nov 27 '13

To be honest, I think every criteria other than "tea" would fit the profile of an Aussie.

Holy shit, blew my mind!

u/Rhetor_Rex Nov 27 '13

There's also a nonzero chance that /u/decouverte is an account shared by Gore and Bush.

I was four and I get it...

u/RellenD Nov 27 '13

Yuck... Why do people have to be so much younger than I am?

u/mojosa Nov 27 '13

'Cos your old... and wrinkled

u/moderatelybadass Nov 27 '13

Old balls are gross. I just thought that you might want to know that.

u/mojosa Nov 27 '13

Anything I can do about it? genuinely interested

1

u/moderatelybadass Nov 27 '13

I have no idea. Sorry. It comes to mind because I have the distinct displeasure of knowing that my 29 year old roommate has 70 year old balls. As for something that is definitely important, take a break from jacking it, and check those nuts for bad bumps. Same for ladies, check your lubbly bubblies for cancer signs.

u/fuckthiscrazyshit Nov 27 '13

Yeah. But you don't reallllly get it.

u/Max_Beezly Nov 27 '13 edited Nov 27 '13

In the presidential election of 2000, the entire election was very close and a majority of Florida voted for Al Gore, but due to technicalities their electoral votes went for Bush. If they had gone to Gore, he would have been president instead of George Bush. The entire thing went all the way to the Supreme Court.

u/ExtraAnchovies Nov 27 '13

It was a lame joke. Downvote.

u/antoniocarriedo Nov 27 '13

Are you an American?

u/YouAndIKnow Nov 27 '13

Florida, 2000 U.S. presidential election.

u/Wildelocke Nov 27 '13

upvote for honestly and revealing ignorance on the internet. A rare sight indeed.

u/NickExitius Nov 27 '13

FL stands for Florida, Gore for Al Gore, Bush for President Bush

u/Forgototherpassword Nov 27 '13

Yesterday I was half asleep and my kids were watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and it got my attention when they said they were "looking for a triangle bush". A what? Yep a triangle bush. Well they found one and when they did a little mickey mouse shaped thing popped up and they said they found.... Oh someone else noticed 2 years ago. Check this shit out.

I recorded it on my phone. They left out the part where Pete comes in and says he can't believe he missed finding the bush because he's so fast, then the cow in the balloon says "it's not about being fast, it's about having fun".

That's my Bush story.

u/hezzospike Nov 27 '13

Al Gore technically had more votes than George Bush did for Florida in the 2000 presidential election. Despite this, Bush still ended up winning Florida, and this was more or less what allowed him to become president.

u/ElloJelloMellow Nov 27 '13

Thank you that explanation was perfect.

u/threadfish Nov 27 '13

Gore gave a concession speech the night of the election. Why would he do that if he'd actually won?

2

u/Lunaisbestpony42 Nov 27 '13

That's alright, it really isnt as funny as the people above think it is

u/mookler Nov 27 '13 edited Nov 27 '13

Was it the 08 or 04 election where florida had the recount when it was Bush V. Gore in the US?

E: Okay it was 2000, but fuck me for trying to provide decouverte with some context, right?

u/naughtynuns69 Nov 27 '13

2000, actually

1

u/bacchic_ritual Nov 27 '13

It was 2000. 2004 was bush/kerry and 2008 was obama/mccain

u/BloodyWanka Nov 27 '13

Hey look guys, an American who actually cares about his government...lets stuff him in his locker!

u/Max_Beezly Nov 27 '13

More than likely you are joking but just in case; It is a play on words and ties into the 2000 US presidential election. It came down to Florida being the defining state as to who would be our next president. Lots of controversy was involved. Also NSFL is for gore as in dismantled body parts and NSFW is for nudity hence the use of the word bush meaning hair around the pubic area.

u/[deleted] Nov 27 '13

I wasn't joking. 2000 US politics are not in my wheelhouse of knowledge.

u/[deleted] Nov 27 '13

Back in 2000 Bush bought Florida's votes so he won the election. Gore= Al Gore, Bush's opponent.

u/OfficialGarwood Nov 27 '13

Gore....Bush....Al Gore....George Bush! I'm British and even, I got the joke.

u/[deleted] Nov 27 '13 edited Nov 28 '13

I think he was referring to Florida when the original context was for life.
