Tell me about those strange people that wander around the street in your city, that everybody knows and are kind of small legends. heres a couple from me In Copenhagen, theres a guy called "singer Søren" whos really something. He looks kind of retarded, and the way he sings is like alternating between a very nasal scream, and almost whispering. Its almost kind of poetic. Cigar mamma. In my local town theres a woman who drives around on a flat bicycle, and she constantly has a cigar in her mouth. And heres the funny thing, when she hasnt got a cigar in her mouth, she kinda form her mouth into an "o" anyway. Imagine this disgusting old lady, with a mouth like a fish. Yikes. |

does she smoke the cigar, or does she just like to keep a cigar there? |

Dancer: Wild looking, frizzy hair; Dirty combat jacket; Badly in need of a shave. Looks like Jack Nicholson after a two year drink bender. He just walks around the city centre, minding his own business, before suddenly spinning around and striking a pose, kinda Michael Jackson style. He does the occasional "Whoop!" as well. It's funny as fuck to watch it, I never fail to laugh. Briefly featured in 'Twin Town'. Teabag: Looks like Rob Zombie in 20 years: Long, matted dreads and beard, clothes made out of potato skins. Wanders around collecting rubbish which he puts in his sack. Allegedly decorates his house with newspapers and has over £1 million in the bank. Has his own t-shirts available at a Swansea website. Screamer: Short, furry looking man, white hair and beard. Decently dressed, usually in tartan. Likes to walk through the shopping centre and scream at young girls, usually "FACK CUNT SLAG!". |

In addition to that, me and my mate have christened a bunch of people from work with certain nicks: The Running Man: Runs absolutely everywhere, in his shirt and tie. On his lunch break, you can see him zooming around town. Has a fantastic combover, and once he got on my bus and ran on the spot! Shit-Eater: A respected group leader, on about £40,000 a year and well liked throughout the department got pissed at a works do and stunned everyone by saying he liked to eat prostitute's crap. Dallas: My boss. So called because his initials are JR, stutters every other word which unfortunately doesn't stop him being the most irritating and obnoxious bloke around. Without fail, interrupts every single sentance you will ever utter. There's loads more, I could go on for days... but I won't. |

We have a guy here in Bergen that goes by the name of "Smiley", because he always goes around with this silly grin on his face. I would guess that he's in his sixties, he's tall and skinny and wears and old coat. He hangs around bus-stops and asks people for money and a smoke and from time to time he hitches a free ride on the bus. He always ask the busdriver if it's ok and usually it is. I find him a bit annoying, even though I occasionally give him a few coins... |

Oh man! GOOD TOPIC! First off: "The Running Man: Runs absolutely everywhere, in his shirt and tie. On his lunch break, you can see him zooming around town. Has a fantastic combover, and once he got on my bus and ran on the spot! " YES! We have one of those guys at work! He's this ordinary african american type man with glasses in a suit with a suitcase. On my third day at work someone dragged me to the window and said "Check it out, man it's the running man!" apparently he runs EVERYWHERE. I've only seen him a few ties as my work is massive, but yeah he's been running every time i've seen him.. IN TOWN: I had a short skater mate in highschool called Reece. There was this legend that there was as nu in town that knew his name somehow and would show up when he was skating in town and sort of mutter "Hey...hey...HEY REECE!!!" at him. There was also a nasty story about a dude in my grade at highschool who got assraped by a bum in town. Which I would believe coz this kid was fucked up. But not like OH MAN HE'S CRAZY, just like .... you could tell that there was something that'd happened to him at some stage in his life... |

Hehe Xlnt topic =) Stockholm is packed with legendary weirdos that everybody knows about. Half Naked Dancing Greek. The Guy walks around all year round with a walkman and only wearing a pair of shoes and shorts and he is always dancing casualy with small momements. Considering this takes place in cold ass sweden the extent of his madness is mindblowing hahaha! Retard Selling Lotto Tickets at the central station He looks very strange (like a cartoon character ) and he says the same thing all day long with a bright weird monotonic voice "Bingo Lotto" Mentally Challenged Athlete This guy is pretty new too the "weirdo legend" scene , he started showing up last summer i think. He seriously think he is part of the olympics or something and is doing long jump and stuff in the middle of the town center , looking very focused. And he always win and jumps with joy after his performance hahahaha!! Christian Lady With Organ Everybody hates her and even if they don't say it out loud , hopes she will die soon. She sings christian psalms with a crappy voice and on a crappy out of tune organ on a pair of crappy speakers VERY LOUD!! EVERYDAY!! |

Another one from Bergen is.. i don't know what she's commonly called, but I call her "Fargekjærringen," which means something like "the color lady." She has one whole outfit of one single color, and she wears one color a day. Most noticeably is the bright green one. Maybe Co-Existense knows what she's called? |

detroit is tops when it comes to wierd street guys, they can be found on every corner. this is just a sampling of what detroit has to offer... 'Catfish' - lived in the old abandoned train station for years. legend has it he was a nice bloke who took any visitors to his palace on a tour and talked your ear off with countless stories and secrets. vandals tried to scare the poor guy away numerous times by setting fires and using the place as a shooting gallery. he died a few years ago. Jamaican Rastafarian Dude - don't know if he has a proper name, but he rocks! he's got dreads, tie-dye outfits, and aimlessly walks around town with an 80's style boombox on his shoulder. this guy is mellow as fuck and is just out to have a good time! 'Uncle Cliffy' - at least that's what i call him. he's got his own patch of grass next to one of detroit's beautiful freeway overpasses. he's got a lawn chair and clothesline set up between two trees, which is sometimes displaying his lovely paint by the number artwork for all to see. The Mutants From Del Rey - a polluted shithole right in the heart of detroit's industrial wasteland. the residents here are said to be so messed up that they're not even human. they get their water supply from this river that is so fucking stank and repulsive that the smell alone is enough to knock you out. the city did a test a few years back where they lowered some fish to see how long they would last...suckers died in less than a minute. while none of the mutants are actually documented, the place is just crawling with genetically fucked up weirdos. Crackhead Corner - basically a gas station on a street corner full of nondescript crackheads, prostitutes, junkies, or anyone looking to get a fuck for a buck or bag of rocks while you fill up the tank. |

haha i love this thread!! Coffee man: He has the exact face of Freddy Kreuger, no lie. He might be homeless. He has touettes so he is always swearing to himself and others. He mumbles. He walks all over town with this power stride. He gets free coffee because we all think he is homeless. That is all he does is go buy coffee 24/7. Seriously all different times of the day 10am-10pm just walking everywhere |

Yes I've seen her a lot... Everybody knows her! But I don't know what she's called... 'Fargekjærringen' is probably right, but a bit too negative imo. I think most people refer to her as 'Hun med fargene'... She's defenitely into yellow and pink, and she walks around the town centre all day collecting bottles... Makes me very curious about who you are, Drunken Mastah, 'cause Bergen is indeed a really small town... |

no one... except the group of hobos at the Alt Winmärik ("former wine market"), there is one with a bonnet and looks drunk 100% happy drunk all of the time, always screaming very loud and always looking for beer and alcohol (yeah, not very original : P - the other hobos are very quiet and they almost seem embarassed when seen with him sometimes!)... he also wears keys as a necklace, seems pretty heavy (i don't know what is the use he has for those keys!)... |

oh, i forgot last summer... we were in brittany and often passed through a very little village, and near the road there was an old lady in a tiny kind of house with a glass bay so everyone can see her, always sitting in her rockin chair looking at the road, doing nothing. she probably had nothing to do at all. it was pretty sick and sad. |

there's too many street people in denver to stand out, but... i had a gay bum hit on me once. i have a t-shirt that says "i love my credit union" and some girls asked me which bank i go to. there's this one guy i see alot and talk to sometimes and i call him "sleepy" because he looks like he just woke up and wants to go back to bed everytime i see him. we were driving downtown to do some drinking and some bum stumbled up to my truck and told us that he was an alcoholic, so we gave him one of our beers. and some guy needed the rubberband in my pocket so he could tie off his arm and shoot up. |

Oh yeah I forgot! Crazy violent lady There's a dude at work who's indian and apparently this old lady punched him in the face before I worked there and yelled some racist post 9/11 shit at him. Then this lady like elbowed me in the fuckign back when I was outside hungry jacks in town and swore at me. I was going to shout some shit at her but she's an old lady! I can't defend myself! Apparently some other people at my work have seen her punch other teens/early twenties type people for no apparent reason. |

We get these old guys at intersections who hold up signs claiming they're Vietnam vets & homeless. Some just want money for booze. This is why it's now illegal to give them money, but we can still give them food & stuff. |

There's a lot of folk like that in my town. There's one guy, forget his name, but he has to use one of those voice thingies on his neck to talk, because he lost his vocal chords. He just directs traffic and causes trouble. Pretty weird. |

Skullstick a man that walks around with a walking stick that he claims is his wife. If he ever talks his gobbledegook to you he will randomly stop and say "oh, ignore her" while indicating his 'wife'. There was a rumour going round that it was this kid we knew's dad. we all knew it wasn't true, but we used to say it was his dad anyway!!!! |

i dont live in a very large town, yet there are quite a few weird street people.. theres one really tall guy with long hair and a beard who dresses in this weird mideval outfit like someone from lord of the rings or something.. big brown capes, big boots and weird bits of armor, there are a few similar cape-clad guys also. there is a lady refered to as the 'happy wanderer' who walks around with a big smile on her face, but is often seen engaging in fierce arguments with telephone poles and thin air, she looks kinda shabby, but she allegedly has a house and a lot of money. there's a whole community of perpetual drunkards, one of the more notable ones is known as wobblin' bob because of his inability to walk or stand in a stable fashion, some people call him 'shaky piss' because he is often seen peeing in not-so-discreet public places, he also can't talk very well, he would say the same thing to me every time i would walk by him..but it took me over a year to figure out he was asking for a dollar. there was also a man nicknamed 'whylie' because he always walked around with a sign that said 'why lie, i need beer!' he was really social and actually had a few bars where they let him sit there with his sign and have people buy him beer. there was an odd religious character who often sat on the bench in front of my school and talked to kids on their smoking breaks, he often would go on spouting weird over-zealot christian rhetoric but in a very friendly mr. rogers type way. he once bought my friend a bag of candy. he wore a big wooden cross on a necklace, and rarely had shoes, but i dont think he was homeless. my friends used to work in a mr. bagel store right in the center of town, and a lot of the regulars were odd crazy types, the best was the woman who said 'potatopotatopotato' really fast in between sentances, and the guy who would ask for a glass of ice water and go into the bathroom for a really long time, and would eventually emerge with his face covered in soap suds. oh, and t |

oops oh, and there's also a weird old guy who can be seen playing the violin on the sidewalk sometimes, he'll stand there, pace around and mumble something like 'and now how about some star wars!' to himself and then play a little bit of the star wars theme, he has a whole selection of songs he announces and plays little fragments of. and there are plenty more people who arent really known for anything particular, or i just dont see often enough to remember. if you walk down the street after 1am, most of the people you see are drunk, insane, or both, and if they arent, they're usually patroling around with not-so wholesome intentions. |

at clubs: At HEAT we saw this dude having an animated discussion with the wall/mirror off to the side of the dancefloor. My girl and another firend or mine asked him what the fuck he was doing to which he apparently replied "EXCUSE ME I'm having a fuckign discussion!" Also; at a day rave, they had big pieces of black material (bigger than blankets) used to cover up the wondows of this place and they dragged along the floor a bit. My mate went to sit down on what he thoughs was a cushbion under the material and it was a person! It was moving around like it was either having a fit or masturbating. Another friend kicked it and the dude poked his head out and said soemthing like "Oi! Fuck off!" (and no it was not two people, ohnly one under there). Later on two girls went to sit down and I shouted to them "That's nto a seat, man, that's a fucking person!" Another of my friends went over to hasstle him latger on and asking him "What the FUCK are you doing down there?" to which he replied "What the FUCK are you doing up there?" |

All the raves ones are just dudes who had too many drugs at the raves so they're nto really liek "mental". but yeah it was funny. Funniest thing that I actually heard for myself at a big club even was one girl going to her bf "SO YOU THINK WE GOT THE RIGHT PLACE?" over a slamming grooverider set. I told heaps of people in the next few mins and everyone pissed themselves laughing. The girl was probably joking too, but it was fuckign funny. |

There used to be this guy called "The Walker" around the area (it was rural) who would take long walks with this tape recorder and he would play tapes of religious music talking about Jesus etc. He'd even stop and play it for cows or dogs who were standing close to the road in their little fields. My friend worked landscaping this persons yard and he said he would often come by and stand there playing the tape for him. There was also this guy who would hang out in the cafe my friend owned and would talk all the time and order coffee. One time he suddenly stood up and said "You can't catch me!" and ran out of the cafe. |

I shit you not: Once, when I was (maybe) five or six, my dad left me with the town hobo while he did some grocery shopping (which has since become my only proof of his EVER grocery shopping). He played a song on his quasi - tuned guitar, rambled a bit, and generally talked to me in a two - pack accent. (He was down with the streets, y'know...) Years later, I learn he's had a million$ US in the bank since before I was born. Why he abdicts (sp?) to poverty without at least feigning Buddhism is beyond me. Appearances can be VERY deceiving. |

this guy used to walk backwards. no reason why, since he didnt really converse with people. but ever so often you could see him around town walking backwards. he also hitch hiked, while walking backwards. which isnt so odd, but even when he wasnt hitch hiking he walked backwards. constantly. all the time. maybe practice? i dont know. |

Nei, jeg har ikke det :) Dersom profilen din er riktig - og du ER født i 1984 - vet jeg nok neppe hvem du er. Om ikke det var du som brente "Melodies from Mars" til meg på cd i våres en gang?!? Jeg er blitt en gammel mann og har det siste halve året for det meste hengt ut på Finnegans og til dels Baran. Nå har jeg imidlertid flyttet til Radøy og det er dødsfett!

Hey, i forgot some good ones. "Moses" Been on Tv. and shit. This guy seriusly look like the one with the curly hair from marx brothers. He calls himself moses, runs around and praises the lord, sometimes with many people following him. He drags around a cross... with wheels. hehe. Anyway, we dont se him anymore, because he starred in a celebrity version of big brother (i shit you not). In the show he admitted he was a pedophile. heres a pic http://www.watchman.dk/moses.htm On second thought, he might be a tad to famous/rational to really be a weirdo. "Harry" This man looks like santa clause from hell. And the sad thing is, i know it to be true that hes an old civil engineer, that contracted some strange disease from working in africa. He once shouted "Uhm Taht" to me, and that doesnt even mean anything in danish.. He usually wanders around with a wheelbarrow singing or talking the gibberish. Hes also one of those guys whos apparently wery rich, cause its a fact that he owns 7 houses!!! |
