The year's 20 weirdest stories from Florida, America's weirdest state
23 hrs ago
At the intersection of the absurd, the unbelievable, the SMH and the WTF you’ll find Florida. It might be the water, it might be the humidity, it might be the hurricanes or the constant threat of death by gator, but chances are, if you are reading about some really cray cray s**t, there is a strong likelihood it took place in Florida. Welcome to the Sunshine State, a place where fantastical things happen with clockwork regularity, and where weird is a way of life. Above are a selection of images that encapsulates the magical strangeness of 27th state, the best of the Year in Florida. You can read more via the links below, ranked in order of gallery appearance.

and I live there

Me too. Gainesville. Mike's from somewhere around Ocala.



but I can't believe no one conmented on the Finnish rock band, or is it like way too yesterday?

[O Really]

Yep. Went to law school at the U - lived in FL for 25 years. Very little that's "weird" that can't be found there, nor that would be unbelievable in a story. I've often said without Florida, Texas, and California, the US would be a pretty tame place. You guys remember the old state promotional slogan, "the rules are different here?" Or for that matter when the licence plates said "arrive alive?" Or when a total idiot bought the governor's job? Oh wait...that was recent.

The best part is knowing that Florida is sinking despite the Gulf and Atlantic keeps trying to regurgitate it.

"Sweet Home Ollabomma". Someone posted this long ago in the T/N forums.
It was funny then; someone even commented on the Marge Simpson
wannabees doing the jerk in time to the music. Not funny any more. Sorry.

Hope this qualifies as funny..... some really great slight of hand.

Yann Frisch is a superb fresh magical talent with a great career ahead of him. His routine was a FISM award winner.

'No survivors' as Syria-bound Russian jet crashes

A Syria-bound Russian military plane crashed into the Black Sea Sunday, with no sign of survivors among the 92 on board, including Red Army Choir members travelling to celebrate New Year with troops....

Among the plane's 84 passengers were Russian servicemen as well as 64 members of the Alexandrov Ensemble, the army's official musical group also known as the Red Army Choir, and its conductor Valery Khalilov.

They were headed to Syria to participate in New Year celebrations at the air base.

There were also nine journalists and eight crew onboard.

Mourners laid flowers and candles throughout the day in front of the Moscow concert hall where the Red Army Choir usually performs in the Russian capital....

RIP

Performances with more meaning now:



Leningrad Cowboys (and the Red Army Choir). "Those were the days"




Leningrad Cowboys / Red Army Choir. 1993/2003 mash. (Stairway to Heaven)
Cool A/V technique: "Couldn't decide which one was best so I decided to merge them together for an interesting effect. If you're listening in stereo, the 93 concert is on the right channel, and the 03 on the left. but they are in sync. (after a LOAD of work)."
