They don’t call it the Wild, Wild West for nothing.

This year, San Antonio racked up a bevy of truly bizarre headlines, including a naked bike ride that wasn’t, demonic Christmas portals, aquatic Edgars and multiple UFO sightings.

To be sure, it was a weird year for Texas in general thanks to breaking news about gay porn-actor pastors, testicle festivals, toddlers chugging beer and a man busted for making sweet love to a horse on more than one occasion. Even traveling by plane to the Lone Star State was fraught with flatulence.

What’s going on here?

Maybe it was the eclipse. Or maybe there really is something in the water.

The “Florida man” is a much-discussed trope in pop culture, but if he’s wrestling a gator, Texas man is roping an armadillo in his underwear.

Buckle up for some of our weirdest headlines of the year.
