RIP Sailor Dan of Saskatoon
Slo-mo in San Diego.
We had also had Bush guy down at the pier, in San Francisco, but he died a few years back.
Come to think of it, I haven’t seen Slo-Mo in a while either. :/
We have Superman. Overweight guy that stands on the corner dressed as superman. Was not a problem until he started bothering ladies at Dairy Queen. The dairy queen was on the corner where he stood. He got banned from that lot. But he’s still around.
Well that doesn’t sound very super…
Philly has Vent Guy.
Lol, we had this guy in my hometown, except he didn’t wear a robe, he wore cowboy clothes with LEDs sewn into them. He was lit up like a Christmas tree.
Richmond had Dirtwoman (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donnie_Corker) until he passed away in 2017.
My town had “the cat guy” when I was growing up. A guy who would ride around town with his cat in a carrier strapped to the back of his bike. Everyone knew who he was.
St Louis has “keytar guy”. He sets up at random intersections in the city and jams out on his keyboard. He’s usually sporting a mullet and is shirtless with cutoff jean shorts. He’s pretty good and is entertaining as hell.
We also have/had the Bridge guy. Haven’t been around there in awhile, hope he’s doing fine
Ohio apparently has 2-3 separate “crazy bike ladies.” The one in dayton would generally roam around and yell obscenities at traffic. Apparently there’s one in the canton/Akron area as well as Columbus.
Not sure if he’s still around, but the laughing man of muirhouse in north Edinburgh, organic Jim in central Edinburgh, and the Swede in Bergen (Norway).
The Williamson Wizard
Wait, is this worth elaboration or am I better off not asking?
Red letter media has mentioned Milwaukee Wolverine during one of their Neil Breen videos.
We call ours “the artist”. Older gentleman who walks around downtown always dressed completely in white linen. Sometimes he goes in somewhere for a nonalcoholic drink. Mostly he just people watches.
Is he an Ancient Greek time traveller or something? I swear, that would make for a kickass movie. “You all know the guy. Or girl. That one person in your town, or one of those people if it’s a city, in the impossible urban legend. They’re weird, possibly nice, possibly just creepy, probably mentally damaged.” montage of the other examples “This is ours. We called him the artist. Pretty mild, he just sat in coffee shops and watched people walk by. One day, though, our perception of him would change. Not just in this town, but in this timeline. This… is what happens When Worlds Divide.”
This is a Lemmy post of a screenshot of a Reddit post of a screenshot of a Reddit post of a screenshot of a Twitter tweet.
Truly an instance of xkcd’s Digital Data comic. https://xkcd.com/1683/
Anyone remember Screen Muncher?
No, do tell 😂.
It was this screenshot app for BlackBerry back in the day that had these teeth with pink gums at the top and bottom of screenshots. Felt like it was in every screenshot at the time since most people I knew had a blackberry for the unlimited Internet.
I assumed someone plastered three different reddit things over it as a bit.
