Florida Man!

Maybe it's because I've been reading all the back issues of Swamp Thing for the last few weeks, but this, to me, is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.

A blogger of my acquaintance regularly posts "Guess the State!" posts where he posts a headline and you have to guess Florida or Ohio.

(If it's weird crime, the answer is almost always Florida.)

What's he like? It's not important.

With the exception of the guy building the DeLorean hovercraft, California Man isn't looking so hot on the top Google News search results either.

and Nantucket Man .. well he's in poor shape indeed.

Florida Man and John Cusack would get along, I think.

Remind me of this little easter egg I made back when I worked for a newpaper. Sorta surprised nobody's noticed and taken it down yet...

It took me far longer than it should have to get this. For a second I actually thought there was some sad sack wannabe superhero out there that just couldn't catch a break. Perhaps I've been reading too much Something Positive.

That's excellent jacobian. You get a point. (Faint of Butt's in line for one too, but I'm sure he already has like a dozen.)

Simple, genius.

This reminds me of the fact that there's a REASON Fark has a "Florida" tag.

You just reminded me there is Fark.

Florida man wonders why he moved to Florida... sometime. But then, no snow.

I think my favorite is "Florida Man Disguises Himself As 'The Sun'". Not a bright idea.

Not sure if there are any other Uhh Yeah Dude listeners on MeFi but this is reminiscent of their old segment This Week In Florida.

This viral marketing for the new Jim White album sure is bizarre.

Oh, Florida. It's like every now and again somebody shakes the nation and all the crazy folks fall to the lower right corner.

Huh, that kind of explains staid, boring New England too.

Not only is that excellent, Kansas frightens the fuck out of me now.

I came here to post the exact same thing that strangely stunted trees did.

Oh, and I don't know the last thing that has made me laugh this hard.

Florida Man arrested again for butt injections. Sigh. Some habits are just dang hard to break. You tell yourself, "Not goin to do it, not goin to do it," and you reach for the cheese doodles instead. But then comes a moment when you let your guard down. And Wham! You're in the headlines again. And the sad truth is that it wasn't as good as the first time.

Apparently Florida Man is really just Indiana Man moonlighting:

Hat tip to my daughter Kelly.
