[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;30345648]is he meant to look like jesus or dave grohl? I just can't tell here[/QUOTE]
To be honest I though he was somewhere between Jesus and Tim Curry.
There is this one homeless fellow who walks just about everywhere. I've seen him in the city to suburbs and where my school is. If he was scary looking I'd be scared.
There's this guy who thinks his car was raped (you heard me) and people are spying on him.
He once told me to eat onions because they help neutralize the stomach acid.

We have a guy called the Can Man, basically a hobo with a beard down to his feet that wheels around 2 shopping trollies full of empty tin cans, and they are empty every day which means he stashes them somewhere. Whenever he passes someone on the street he asks if they have any cans.

Are there, you know, any [i]can recycling centers[/i] nearby?
I used to see bums at the recycling place at the supermarket all the time, since they'd get a 5 cent refund for each can.
I wouldn't call them nutters, but yes, they are rather special.
I can't find any pictures of them, but I've seen all of them now and then.
[b]The window-washer[/b]
He's a man in his late 60's I believe, and he's a freelance window-washer (according to him). He'll usually bike around and tell people jokes and sing. He's always in a good mood, and I believe he's been on TV a couple of times.
[b]The bottle collector[/b]
He's a rather old man with saggy pants, and all the times I've seen him he's been walking around collecting bottles. Apparently he's rather rich, but doesn't like to spend money.
Couple of months since I last saw him though.
And the last person:
[b]The cat-man[/b]
He was very old, bald and with a big bushy beard. Didn't talk much, but he was extremely nice and polite when he did. He was always walking around with his cat (must have been very old as well) on a leash, and if you said things like "Good day" to him, he'd start a conversation with you, and he always liked to mention his cat and how nice she was. He apparently had never been married and nor did he have any kids.
Was sad when I got to know that he died a couple of years ago.
We've got The Bag Man.
He wanders round the city centre wearing a suit and tie, carrying about 10 bags. (suitcases, binbags, carrier bags etc) and they're all filled to the brim with stuff, no-one knows what.
There's an image of him on google actually:

Not for miles.
Eskilstuna, Sweden.
His name is Smugglar Kungen (Smugler King) people say that he went batshit crazy after the death of his mother. He walks around shouting at people, complaining and trying to hit people. He was shouting at me a year ago when I had long hair and he called me a girl. I have not seen him in a few months though. But oh well, here is the video of him(several on youtube)

Every day. Same guy, same outfit, same mall.[/QUOTE]Holy shit Ive seen him. Hangs around 16th street mall in downtown Denver, Colorado?
We have a FAMILY of fucking nutters the devil worshipers that lives in building 4 of our apt complex.
I nearly forgot the classic nutter back when i was a kid who lived with us in a place just outside of Bristol called Greenditch (google it) before it was developerped.
A couple in our block used to shout at each other 24/7 and at night they'd chase each other around the green with a hatchet and scream, the police turned up and they chased the coppers, they thought "fuck this!" and drove off and left them too it.

Why bother making stupid stuff up, like that?
We have Zalgo
I have a local pedo that stands in his window masturbating. Called the police a few times and he has been arrested a few aswell. He doesnt live there anymore due to him having a heart attack and dying now everyone misses our local pedo.
Actually just remembered the guy who lives down the road from me is a horder, his house is like pile high under old newpapers and just general crap. His house is so bad he comes out to his car to sit and read the newspaper & listen to the radio when he wants to relax.
[b]Pluto[/b]
He's going around town, giving out newspapers with his long-key chain which is 5 meters long.

He spends his time biking everywhere. Apparently he's not homeless, he has parents with a home, but the story is that he drowned when he was younger, revived too late, and suffered severe brain damage. If you ever acknowledge his existence, he talks about how it needs to rain so that there wont be a drought, and if you talk to him when it's raining, he talks about how great it is that it's raining.
He also collects small amounts of recycling for change.[/RELEASE]
There are lots of nutters in Vancouver, a result of drug addiction and the local mental institution shutting down years ago.
One of my favourites is a guy that walks around through the downtown core with a super agile cat on his shoulders like a parrot.
There's another guy that sits outside of the stadium waiting for people to leave the hockey game. He is in a wheelchair, and has a charcoal cat that he dresses up in a Canucks cape and ties a bandanna around it's head.
[QUOTE=geogzm;30281110]Here in Bournemouth we have Gordon the tramp.

Imagine if all these guys had dinner together one night.
There is an Aboriginal man who smokes and sniffs glue, he asks me for a cigarette and when I say I don't have any he goes fucking mad, he hates white people and he hates children, he also carries knife, I would take a photo of him but, he would probably stab me.
Mine are Cecil the alcoholic abbo and Stickboy.
[editline]11th June 2011[/editline]
Cecil is no more crazy than the rest of the local indigenous populace but he is most recognised since he has a weird name.
[editline]11th June 2011[/editline]
And stickboy (now stickMAN) directed traffic on a single street corner with a stick.

There's also a sad ass tale of zombie man.
Poor asshole was mangled in a bike accident, His face and basically his entire body is a mess and he has no arms. he walks around like a zombie. He just walks around everywhere. Probably because he has no arms and can't do a lot of stuff.
I'm probably the only guy who calls him that but every ones seen him.
We got this dude on our street nicknamed 'swagger man'.
He's like 60, swaggers around like some kinda G-pimp and says 'excuse me mate have you got the time' to everyone, day after day, forever. He walks up and down the street ALL DAY from about 7 in the morning till 7 at night and it's in a residential area with low pedestrian count..
We have "jesus-tanten" in Stockholm, Sweden.

Not really a nutter but there is this guy who lives across from my house. He is unemployed, always wears the same clothes, never talks to anyone and everyday he goes for a walk usually he is gone for a couple of hours but it is unbelievable how many times I see him when I'm away from home.
