"the waver" he walks back and forth between carson city, and reno, waving at people.

"the kid with the eyepatch who skateboards near the mall" pretty much everyone in town, who spends any time near the mall knows him.

shit like that.

 

We have a homeless guy who supposedly lost his family in a car bombing in Montreal in the 80s. Drove him over the edge.

More likely: He's just schizophrenic.

 

theres a homeless man named elmo, who asks for his medicine. which is a bottle of vodka

 

There is this old guy who plays saxophone all night and day down by river street; he's always there, but you never see him come or go. Prolly a ghost oh well.

We have a few famous crackheads here too, who have invented exceptionally funny excuses to ask people for money. Then there is this black-dude possy who all sleep in Johnson Square by the statue on the benches.

There's a guy who delivers pizzas on a bicycle while wearing a cape.

There's the crazy homeless guy that stands at street corners facing the sidewalk.
You'll see him all over the city.

There used to be this homeless guy that wore a sombrero too, but I dunno what happened to him.

There's A Guy In My Town I See Quite Often..

Is About My Age..

Dresses Well..

Drives A Nice Looking Mercedes..

Owns A Large Farm On The Outskirts Of Town.

BUT..

Never Ever Wears Shoes..

Not Even Flips..

Even In The Winter When The Ground Is Covered In Frost And Snow..

Sigh......I Guess Every Town Has It's "Eccentric's"..



Cheers Glen.

 

Does he look just like you?

 

oh oh I forgot the headphones guy. He wears big headphones, and jams and dances wildly and plays air guitar and shit =D
He's actually a really cool dude too.
My girlfriend is scared of him though.
I don't think he ever lets his blood/alcohol level get too high...

This is our local Elvis impersonator. We have this big dumb town festival every year and he was performing the first year I was working at Dairy Queen and he came in and gave me an autograph. I didn't even ask for it, he just hands me this autographed picture, lol. Anyway, this particular visit is why I suspect he lip syncs. Because he got a grilled cheese sandwich and a milkshake, and that stuff makes your throat all clogged up with mucus and you can't sing like that. Pssh. My favorite line of the video is "The fine line between Smokey Binion and Elvis is slowly disappearing." Almost as good was him raving about the Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears. Haha.

 

is that the highlands?



in the town I moved to in August we have a homeless dude who goes by rick james. He's always hammered and always gets arrested. Supposedly been arrested over 1,000 times. The 1,00th even made the highlights on the Yahoo.com homepage.

 

I don't know they're names but there's two people ,both who SUPPOSEDLY had bad acid trips or something. ahhaa.

One is a lady who dresses up like shes famous and walks around the streets every day waving like a beauty queen and introducing herself to everyone and asking if we want autographs.....

and another is this guy who always wears headphones and sings chritian songs loudly. and tells us we're going to hell and Satan's coming for us if we don't join him..
yeah

 

Bigfoot.

 

I don't really know of many in my town except for a famous aboriginal football player that went insane and hung around the busy parts of town in a tight leotard. Haven't seen him for a few years. There is also a man that lives in the hills and owns an Animal Sanctuary. He kills feral cats and turns them into hats.

 

Nah.. not really.

Some of these people seem pretty interesting though..
