We have two Beadle is a large old man who wears sunglasses, and a dark blue hat and coat. He almost always carries some kind of case thing. Talks to people about random shit.

He has a bucket and just picks up change off the street. Kids roll pennies down the high street and watch him chase them. Once I was counting out my change and my friend knocked my money out of my hand sending it everywhere and he rushed round the corner to pick it up, we got it all though.

We have a few, but I think they're all semi-fictional. One of them just left school, and he used to just walk around the school campus all day long. There was a compulsive liar who told us he went to America. I still he see him to this day. He also wrote on our school toilet wall... In shit. He wrote: BE WARE Exactly like that.
Oh hell yes, best thread ever! We have one simply known as "The Wizard Man" (sometimes with the suffix "of Sutton") - a man who is always dressed in a purple/red robe, with his dog by his side and his cat on his shoulders. We've always just seen him wondering about the high-street (or rather, the pub) and around the borough. He's actually a pretty cool guy if you get the chance to talk to him.

The cat's fine though, so don't worry about that. :)
[url]http://www.experienceproject.com/stories/Think-Women-Should-Be-Allowed-To-Go-Topless-As-Men-Do/673768[/url] Among the many batshits insane people around is this one, Linda Meyers, whos made the news several times. TLDR: that news link tells that this old decreped lady finally got city council to allow females to go topless in public. You'd think that'd be a good thing, but no. she's old. and she's the only one who ever does it. She's caused a few accidents from biking on highways topless and if you google her name, some sites praise her as a downtrodden activist. [img]http://www.tera.ca/Images/Linda.jpg[/img] Here she is before the city concil decision to allow her topless, pictured wearing a T-shirt [i]of her own chest[/i] The city's name is Maple Ridge, yet the shirt gives the caption of [i]Nipple Ridge[/i], a terribly thought out media slang term. [editline]6th June 2011[/editline] Apparently, she's sitting by "The Wizard Man" of Sutton...
in my old neighborhood there was a tall (regular sized but tall for an old woman) old woman, very skinny, who wore an old fashioned black dress, the kind where the area around the legs sort of looks like a half dome because it's all pushed out around her waist. she walked around the neighborhood with a black umbrella screaming at everyone all the time. we never saw her enter or exit her house. what's odd is that i lived/live in arizona and she would do all this business while it was 110 degrees outside, wearing a big heavy dress that was all black. i used to skateboard around the neighborhood with my friends, and we'd sometimes pass her and she'd stop and stare at us, or shout things saying that we're evil and she hopes that we die. one night (and i know 50% of you won't believe me, but it's true), everyone in my house was woken up by a big bang and sirens in the middle of the night. we walked outside and looked down the street toward her house, and saw that her whole house was on fire. i ended up staying up all night to watch the commotion till the end. they ended up putting out the fire but i never saw them pulling out a body, and yet after the burning, we never saw her again. so ever since then we've wondered what happened to her. it ended up being that there was a huge hole in her roof, probably the size of a car
We have plenty, I live just down the road from the housing estate for the local mental patients so we've got a few who walk along like Mr Burns out of the simpsons shuffling in the middle of the road, the cars have learnt to drive around them. Then you've got mumbler who is a homeless guy in the city nearest to me who doesn't speak, I've got it on good word from another homeless guy who I'm friends with that he lost is family in a car accident quite a few years ago and so doesn't talk or act properly, he's harmless just near impossible to understand. A more logical answer is that he's deaf or has a speech problem but I don't know.
Considering I live in a small town with a fairly large mental institute, I've experienced my fair share of nutters. Including a vet that's been in Afghanistan and brews his own Baileys, and some other guy who can only say [I]rat[/I] or [I]mouse[/I] and also constantly chases those.
Name: Bearded Lady of Guildford Location: Guildford, Surrey, UK [img]http://s3.hubimg.com/u/549706_f520.jpg[/img] Commonly seen in McDonalds, waiting for buses and walking round talking to itself. [img]http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ldumbzG4rP1qagy4lo1_250.jpg[/img] Rumours say she was once in the circus, renowned for her giant scraggly beared. But seriously these days she has a bigger beard than she does hair.

We got this one guy that was give a scooter for free since he pawns so many bottles.

Shit would be so sad for him+a lot of other people if it died. :love:

There is a guy who wanders around my old high school who calls himself James Bond and he takes pictures of the campus and calls the school once a day "just to talk" I have awkwardly walked past him a few times and he seems pretty normal. A few friends of mine once saw some hobos bringing a ton of cold medication into an abandoned building. One of them saw them and suddenly bout 5 were following. They nearly had them surrounded and asked if they were cops. Being 16 year old kids, they believed them when they said no. Dont mess with meth hobos.
In my old town there was a guy we called Kramer. He had dirty long white hair, and crazy looking eyes. He would walk around town with his hands behind his back, swaying back and forth. I think he actually had a house, though
My great uncle was the local nutter for some time. He was an associate professor at the University of Mississippi, I believe, doing very well in their psychology department. Then he just sort of snapped, from what I can gather. He joined the military and then managed to get himself kicked out. After a series of tragically hilarious events, including stealing a sports car from a Birmingham car lot to "Out run the FBI," my grandfather and other great uncle took him to an institution in Jackson. Twice. The first time, he tricked my grandad into giving him his car keys so he could grab his coat from the car. He then proceeded to haul ass to Atlanta. The second time, he stayed for a time. The sad part is, he was being cared for by the same people he was teaching at one point. He moved to Anniston, Alabama after some years, where he had a bad habit of posing as a day laborer, then snooping through the houses he was working in, looking for bugged objects and hidden cameras. He'd always give the money back they gave him upfront, saying "I'm just doing my part for the American people." From what I hear, he's a lot better now.
Gotta be my manic depressive lesbian aunt. Nobody can top that crazy bitch.
There's a Diary Queen right down the block from my school and sometimes I stop by to grab a bite. There is this guy that comes in, orders nothing, and sits down with a two liter bottle of grape soda. He sits there and says nothing and drinks the soda out of the bottle. When he's done, he leaves. I'm not sure if he's crazy or not but he does this every time I come in so I would assume that he does this every day.
Shoobidy bop bop bidooy who is this insane old lady who picks up every penny she sees even ones you throw at her also hagrid who is this huge woman that looks like hagrid beard and all.
Theres a dude in my town who thinks he's a glass of Orange Juice and if you push him a little he'll try to catch the juice thats falling out of him. Dont do drugs kids.
I know a guy who drives around in a van with a collection of stuffed animals and lights on the roof. You can find him at the park.
I've got a guy who used to live across the street from me. Fat black guy. He would sit outside on the porch every day. Drink 40's and break them on the ground. Then he would walk around screaming and yelling at people. Some days he'll pretend to play basketball or fight with someone invisible. Some times he'll just sit on the bench and let grunts that I can hear across the street in my room if the windows open. I'm not sure if he's mentally Ill, or if he's just a drunkard. He looks like he's in his late thirties.
Biloxi, MS we've got a guy who's dresses like Elvis and prances around the town, and has done so for the past 60 years.
There's this old homeless fellow here people call Bigfoot. He wanders about town and he constantly says stuff about Bin Laden. I remember first time i met him, he was talking about the weather and how it "changed like Bin Laden". Real nice old guy though.
I live near a registered pedophile. He waves the Confederate flag above the US flag in his front yard. The twist is, that the US flag is smaller than the Confederate flag. It's much larger.
There's Earth Dog, he's a burn victim with a disfigured face, walks around town all the time. May or may not be homeless. Nobody knows when he showed up or where he came from. He tried to steal money from the marina I work at one day and almost got his throat ripped out by a good Samaritan stray dog that happened to be hanging out around there. Creepy fucker.

The across the street is spazzing out as I type this, he must be high.
all of these people are poor. just goes to show if you lose your mind you'll end up sleeping on the street and begging for real food while you eat shit acorns and cigarettes until you die of malnourishment.
I remember this one guy the local store called "Crazy Carl". He never had a shirt on and he'd wander around about a square mile and nowhere else, and occasionally he would walk into stores and insult the food items, mumble some things, and walk out. But most times he'd just go around picking up cigarette butts and I really don't know what he did with those.
