Because, well, it's Florida.

Florida has a unique kind of insanity. It's the butt of many a political joke. The popular term "Florida Man" is applied to any newsworthy (and usually stupid) behavior. Even Fark has a special "Florida" tag to classify these stories.

Here's the newest entry into the Florida Man saga.



And the online article...

Somebody here once sent in a sample to an independent testing laboratory for analysis, it came back with "Your horse has Diabetes."

I never lie. Well, unless there's women, money, or alcohol involved...

There have been several worthwhile candidates this week. Using your pet alligator to announce the sex of your upcoming baby tops the list.

So saw this on a local news feed Friday, found it online too: Fla Lawn Mowing And here I've always heard it was a huge no-no to cut grass in the rain? Maybe this guy never heard that?

Yes that looks funny and you hear that up here in New England as well. My work is weather related and I end up working weekends and odd times so I've been where that guy is more than once and needed to cut my lawn, or should I say weeds, in bad weather too. Rain coat helps and you get a little wet but other than thunder/lightning or clumped up grass on real nice lawns, it's doable and you gotta do what needs doing. Personally I think for the most part people are such wimps when it rains. I think we had about 30 days of it in 34 days this spring and found it funny how things got done this year anyway. Same people who normally hide from the rain aren't big fans of foot high lawns either so when they're finally put in a position where it's one or the other, it gets cut wet. .

There's being cool, and then there's "catching tarpon from a unicorn pool float" cool.
