As an American, I’ve alway thought of Australia as the world’s Texas.

I don't think Australians have a reputation for being obnoxious cowboys.

I mean, what is Florida Man going to bring to the fight? His pet alligator?

Can't impress a bogan with that who's seen saltwater crocodiles.

A firearm. Florida Man is an American after all.

Have you ever seen Crocodile Dundee? That's not an obnoxious cowboy?

I remember a story from a few years ago. An Australian man was surfing and got attacked by a shark, which grabbed hold of his leg and wouldn't let go. So the man climbed out of the water, with the shark still attached, made his way to his car, where he kept a gun. He shot the shark dead, but couldn't get the jaws off his leg. So he got in his car and drove to the nearest town to find a hospital.

I'll put my money on the Australian.

Not the first time, either. Aron Ralston had his hand pinned in a similar way, when coming down after a climb in Utah. After 5 days he ended up breaking his own arm and then amputating it, with a pocket knife, then hiked out for help. A movie has been made about it.

I don't really understand what we are rating them on, but it doesn't matter; for there is no creature more self-defeating the Florida Man. Ultimately he must lose any competition even if he's the only one in it.
