It's been far too long since we've played Germany or Florida. From time to time I find and bookmark suitable news items, and then they sit in my “ideas for blog posts” file. And sit, and sit, dying the slow sad death of the unpublished blog post.
Not today, dammit!
Today is going to be different! Today, my life will have meaning! Today, I will use all those Germany or Florida stories!
Let's get started.
I will give you a list of news items with a brief description of each. You guess whether the story comes from Germany or Florida. On Tuesday or Wednesday I'll publish the original stories, and whichever lucky reader gets the most correct answers will get nothing and like it. No, wait, that doesn't sound right. Here, how's this: whoever gets the most correct answers will have the satisfaction of knowing he or she is the most discerning of SRC readers. I might even send the winner my award-winning recipe for pruno.

Great game! I can see why it takes you some time to collect the material for it though.
I love Germany or Florida, back when I used to listen to Adam and the doc.
My guesses (selected so I don't go all-Monkerstein):
Florida: 3, 6, 7, 8, 12
Germany: 1, 2, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, 13
Florida: 1,2,5,7,9,10,11,13
Germany: 3,4,6,8,12
yeahhh finally I was wondering when the next installment would be okay here are my choices
Florida: 1,4,5,6,8,10,11
Germany: 2,3,7,9,12,13
Germany:2,3,4,7,12
Florida: 1,5,6,8,9,10,11,13. Unless any of them were wearing lederhosen at the time, then I'd have to say this a trick quiz and they're all from Florida.
I was going to be lazy and just say Florida, Germany, repeat, but seeing as all these good people made an effort, here goes:
Florida - 1,5,6,10,11,12
Germany - 2,3,4,7,8,9,13
too damned easy... they're ALL Florida. I live here. I read the papers. I know.
Florida- 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13
Germany- 1, 2, 6, 8
Great game. I suspect all are Florida except for six which I read in the paper or something.
Germany - 4,7,8,9
Florida - 1,2,3,5,6,10,11,12,13
For no apparent reason, my word verification is "yemood"
Hell, I don't want the terrorists to win!
Florida: 1,2,4,5,8,11,12,13
Germany: 3,6,7,9,10,
