If ANY of these stories are true, then I've suddenly got a much better perspective of where Mr Tonka lives and the people he encounters...

number 16

Fakemike · 01-29-2018, 01:58 PM

I can remember #2 and #16 in the news.

RickFLM4 · 01-29-2018, 02:25 PM

I also remember #16 in the news. And in fairness I had already promised my cat I would take him to the strip club so surely you understand why I called 911.

Lucky John · 01-30-2018, 03:30 AM

That list is far from complete. No Florida wackadoodle list would be complete with at least one of the face eating events...
Either this one

or
http://miami.cbslocal.com/2012/05/26...1-dead-1-hurt/

Plus they had the meth head burning down the tree twice so there is room for at least one of these two.

Think the second story has to be added.

wrickem · 01-30-2018, 08:28 AM

What the hell kind of state doesn't allow cats in strip clubs???!!

Never_Enough · 01-30-2018, 09:33 AM

Would they allow dogs into the club, though?

P1 · 01-30-2018, 10:27 AM

Twenty five gallons of frying oil? Sorry, but no.

This is how you know it's never going to be a good story coming out of FL. If the article starts with..."A Florida man...", then it's always bad. When have you seen ..."has found a cure for cancer..." or ..."helped an old lady across the street..." Try it sometimes. It's actually pretty funny. Type in Google, "A Florida Man".

Yes, it is all true. In fact, it is actually much worse down here than you can even imagine. Please vacation all you want here, preferably for no longer than 5 to 7 days, but whatever you do, please for the love of Pete do NOT move here. I repeat, do NOT move to Florida. I cannot stress this enough.

Shredicus · 01-31-2018, 02:29 PM

Ah, my esteemed Home state. Never change you glorious, phallic peninsula; at least until you sink into the sea and become the next Atlantis.

I'm looking forward to telling people I come from The Lost City of Miami someday.

Here's the difference... the story about the guy drinking cooking oil was a spoof from WorldNet Daily, which is like The Onion.

Floridaman.com links to real news sites, with real news stories about real Florida Men.

Maestro · 01-31-2018, 07:03 PM

The local radio station does this Monday news highlights from the past week and they call it "Thinning the Herd," just another name for the Darwin Award. Most weeks it using has one if not two highlights from people in Florida who figure out new ways to remove themselves from the gene pool or get themselves locked up for a long time. You have to wonder what the hell is going on down there.

Can't blame the guy. Have you tried going out to the streets right now with all these new york and quebec fuckers running around? It's enough to make anyone try to kill themselves by drinking 25 gallons of oil.

Germanauto · 02-02-2018, 04:33 AM

Florida is the perfect place for trashy people - warm, sunny, low cost of living, full of NE and Midwest transplants, and it borders some of the worst states in the union. It all adds up to trashy people settling down there.

But jokes aside, if you have $$ Florida is one of the best states to live in the entire country.

ECSTuning · 02-02-2018, 01:11 PM

Yeah, none of those are all that shocking (I grew up in the Tampa area).

Ogdensburg in upstate NY. Have wandered into the FailMart there when going to pick up packages at the UPS store. It is like every post on that site rolled into one convenient shopping experience.
