Many of the posters here live outside the US. Surely, most of you know about our little national treasure, Florida. Some of you are probably familiar with the game "Florida or Germany?". And others have likely read this thread. And there is also a fellow here named "Spanky". He is from Florida. No more needs to be said.

I am curious to know how other lands handle their folk who "just ain't right". Does your country concentrate them in one area, as we have done here? Are they spread all about, evenly?

Please enlighten the rest of the world about your own nation's approach to the "Differently Sane".


In Sweden they're pretty much spread out all over - but a shockingly large amount of them will show up if you play some dansbands music.

And then there's Norway, obviously...


What magical place do you live in, Mr. Lumberg?

I live in Santa Cruz, CA. Sunny, crazy people, naked people, hippies, etc.

That's a good kind of weird.


In Chile:

Easter Island for the crazy. It's the closest thing we have to something kind of tropical (we got the short end of the stick climate wise. We're the only country in all of Latin America that doesn't have at least one bit of tropical climate) and has a lot of huge stone heads. Crazy people dig that.

And then there is Juan Fernandez Island, for the fist-fighting-man-eating-giant-lobsters-crazy. Or treasure hunters who also fist-fight lobsters.


Well, Bavarians are a little bit weird as a rule, and the guys along the banks of the rivers Rhine and Main (broadly speaking) need a yearly festival to have fun, but otherwise Germany is like Sweden.

I always liked the old saying about Florida, "The further North you go the further South you are."

It's just and amusing saying. I've Never been nor ever met someone from there. Likely Florida is just a place with other humans in it like Chile, Vietnam, France or any place else on Earth. Some "crazy" folks, some "sane" folks and lots in between.

Why, I live in the Garden State where bountiful harvests are guaranteed. The secret is that the soil is richly-fertilized by the corpses of dead mafioso.

In all seriousness, the tomatoes and corn grown here are fantastic. And our ever-so-humble governor wants it to be known that dead mobsters are only to be found buried in about 30 percent of the state.

How often do you here about cannibalism AND cockroach-eating contests in Chile, Vietnam or France?


I suppose you've all heard of Florida Man. He's nothing but trouble!


Surfers Paradise - Gold Coast - Sunshine Coast..

We call it Gods waiting room... where old people go to die.

Its in Queensland - Queensland is Texas and Florida mixed together.

I grew up in Ballina a tourist town about an hour and half south of Surfers.

Wacky shit happens there all the time.

I had this sales guy a couple years ago; he kept saying "It's called the garden state for a reason!!!"

Haven't seen him in a while; maybe somebody fertilized with him.....he was pretty full of crap.


Florida is a flying dream and a sex dream at the same time.

You are all demented.


And there are orange people there, but they're from jersey. I call them dire oompa loompas.


Sharks living on a golf course.

Couldn't have said it better.

For about three months, culminating in February, Germanies stranger citizens tend to gather in the Rhineland (with some enclaves in other cities), otherwise I would agree that the Bavarians are a bit weird most of the times...
