This reminds me of a song by Naked Raygun called Only in America.

but...
While driving out to Shenandoah National Park last summer my friends and I saw a huge gun shop directly across the street from a huge church. Only in America. Joe Marshall was in the DC area that week and was on the camping trip with us and I believe he saw some American stereotypes by driving down south of DC into Virginia. The next best one was when we went to IHOP the next morning and there was an advertisement inside for an omelette stuffed with a full lunch of some kind and the text said "Have your breakfast STUFFED with lunch!". I believe he bought said omellete and proceeded to eat an American sized breakfast. Once again...only in America :D

No no no, you're missing the point. :) What you meant to say was this:

Hookers(and their pimps) are legal, polite, and easy to spot in every part of the city. Only in Nevada.

Only in Brighton could I ride to a party on a tandem dressed as a chicken while my passenger is dressed as a frog and passers by not bat an eyelid.

Also, only in Brighton could I randomly meet a man who'd wee'd on a friend of mine from back up North and make the connection.

[Mikefule]

Tut! You're being taken for a ride - or, more precisely, you're taking someone else for a ride!:eek:

A tandem doesn't have a passenger, it has a stoker. A steersman and a stoker. On a well-run tandem, the steersman does all the technical stuff, like pointing it away from cars and walls, and the stoker pedals twice as hard.

I used to be in the Tandem Club, so I know this stuff.:cool:

[MrBoogiejuice]

I thought the fella/fellette on the front was called a captain.

[saskatchewanian]

Only in the West Flat (Prince Albert) can you be dooing an arson investigation practical and see 30-40 used needles in a 100m stretch, talk to some little kids who are playing near by who can tell you where the fire started, that it was started with a lighter which was blue but not how it started.

Can't wait to get out of this city.

[ridethelobster2008]

Only in Nova Scotia does a guy test drive a new Accura, go to Canadian Tire, make a copy of the key, go back to the lot in the middle of the night, steal the Accura not knowing anything about automatic door locks, run into a deer in a downpour, throw the deer into the front seat and then lock himself out of the vehicle, stereo blaring, windshield wipes going like mad, and then,because he's tired, climb onto the hood where it is warm, And where the RCMP find him at first light.:eek:

[lpounds]

This one is probably not the only, but one of the only for sure!

I am juggling in the park while my friend is taking pictures on his new DSLR.

[1-wheeled-grape]

Only in Mount Prospect, Illinois will you meet Mr... R (I'd hate for him to google his own name and find this post...) who punishes children for eating a hard pretzel outside and giving other kids bottle caps...

[net_hippy]

In first year of University, there were lockable trays in the reception area of our student halls. Each had a letter, and you were given a key to the one with the first letter of your last name.

Only in West Sussex can your half-hour drive be doubled to an hour by multiple sets of temporary traffic lights, tractors that you get stuck behind on bendy roads too risky to overtake, and lorries going uphill at just 20mph in a 60mph zone.

The logo's gone all cool and modern now - reminds me of an old Shimano logo now rather than Girl Guides. The old "GG" one is still used though.
...And I'm with Boogie - most people call the front person a captain don't they?

Only in truckee will one out of every fifteen people you meet in person be a girl.
For some reason I read that as "people you meet in PRISON". Ooh, they have mixed prisons, how odd, I thought... then read it again.

Back on topic:
Only in Devon could all the north shore in the county be closed for maintenance at exactly the time you've promised to find some for BUC attendees to ride :mad:

Only in Colorado can you drive past a bus stop this time of year, and see a guy in a full parka/ski suit with hat, gloves and goggles, standing next to a guy in t-shirt, shorts and Tevas...and they are both comfortable and properly dressed for their day.

[wobbling bear]

only in Rome (Italy!)

[saskatchewanian]

Only in SK can you be fighting a fire in some fairly extreme fire weather one day and be rolling up 5 miles of frozen hose in 3 inches of snow the next.

After last tuesday it dropped 30˚C (54˚F) over night and things stayed frozen for a couple days. Not surprising there were no more big fires and prospects for overtime dwindled

[AEV D.]

only in "Craalse" you can eat "Horaffen" :rolleyes:

Bloody murder! That's crazy. And we complain about the weather here...

Only in my town (well, not really) do people have to wake up every morning to the smell of sulphuric-rotten-egg-farts and shake their fists in the direction of the pulp mills.

Only in my town (well, not really) do people have to wake up every morning to the smell of sulphuric-rotten-egg-farts and shake their fists in the direction of the pulp mills.

Where I grew up, we were happy to have the pulp mills, as they were the largest employer in town by far.

There's a million and one things I could post about "only in Santa Cruz"... but one of my favorites is "Umbrella Man". He's one of Santa Cruz's local celebrities... makes daily appearances downtown.

Yeah, the pulp mills are large employers here, too. I have a number of relatives who work at them. People still love to complain about them, though.

[Caterpillar with a hookah]

I should have said, only in my town do people complain miserably about one of their major sources of employment.

The Umbrella Guy and the purple cow are pretty funny. In the case of the Umbrella Guy, I don't know if I should laugh or be concerned.

Yes, he is a disturbingly eccentric individual.

Yesterday a kid sporting a massive mullet rides by with his trike which was obviously built around the massive guitar amp in the back blasting Metalica as he slowly pedals down the sidewalk.

Today it was Queen.

Only in Germany some wannabe GeStaPo agent will trie to sue you for "polluting" the forest with a wheelbarrow-load of twigs(!) when you dispose them there.

Happened to me about a year ago.

Only in Nevada the driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow. Also, only in Nevada you know all 4 seasons: Almost Winter, Winter, Still Winter, and Construction.

You sure you got that right? For the brief time I was in Nevada I thought that the roads were pretty decent, and you don't know real winter. There is still some snow in the bush here and last year at this time Angel still had the wheels on his plane parked on the lake.

[EoinC]

When drilling out in the bush, we came across the body of a 21 year old who'd been hung from a tree. When calling the closest rural Police Station, the on-duty policeman asked if it was OK if they didn't come out until after the footy (Football) was over.
Only in Western Australia...

well, i was at the bus stop today with a couple of friends, we saw a sign for a missing dog and took a look, it read
"Jake is an average sized border collie who has been neutered. he is always very playful and loves people, although he has a microchip for some reason we can't locate him. If anybody see's him there is a reward of £200 if you bring him back!
Also, he likes food."
