Seem like each town has at least one person that dances to their own beat... here's our http://www.connecttristates.com/news/story.aspx?id=616420&sms_ss=facebook&at_xt=4dcc9aa3ad91e868,1

We also have the old running guy, and the crazy hat lady... What are some of the ones that you have in your home town?

    That's funny! We have a man who rides his horse everywhere, and I mean EVERYWHERE. He has been spotted with his horse tied up in front of Peet's or Starbucks or even riding crossing the the overpass for the freeway. We also have another man who walks everywhere, rain or shine, in short polyester shorts, a tank top, sweat headband and socks pulled up to his knees. The thing is, he is always carrying a pet carrier (the size you use for a cat) however it is always empty. Yep...we have some odd ducks!

    Ours is also a running man. You can see him most any time of the day running with an american flag and that black stuff under his eyes like a football player.

    We have 'Roger the crazy festival dude' who goes to EVERY festival. Everybody knows him and he hardly has to pay for his drinks since everyone buys him drinks when they see him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWipZWTpU9g

    And since we still don't have a government after more than 330 days after the elections, we have a lot of protests (well, had, the country is bored of being frustrated about politicians not making any decisions and it takes to long. Eventually nobody cares anymore. Especially since yesterday everything escalated AGAIN). Anyway, there is this guy who went to every gathering protest actions dressed in a Belgian flag, written all texts in our three official languages (Duth, French and German) promoting "l'union fait la force". He's nice, but I can't find a picture.

    We have one particular homeless man who wanders around on a bicycle tweeting like a bird. You wouldn't even know it was him if you didn't see him doing it.

    And we have, uh, me. Look out for that chick with the cow purse.

    We have a guy in his 50s or so who runs in the breakdown lane alongside the highway which leads out to my house. Speed limit is 55, most people are doing 65-70. I couldn't imagine running alongside that stretch of road. He waves whenever my husband or I drive past him, probably because we always give him a wide berth.

    I live in a small market town that got voted the 10th funkiest town in the world a few years ago in an in-flight mag. Some days its like we only have excentrics living in the town. Nothing, and I mean nothing raises eyebrows round here.:laugh:

    We have the bird lady. She is skinny as a stick and walks all over town with her bird on her shoulder. (yes it is a live bird)


    We also have the a complete nut job. Her house has big pieces of plywood in front so no one can see into her yard. She also hangs garlic all over her chain link fence.
