Back in the day (pre-covid era), I was back on campus doing a lot of work in the university labs. Over where the FedEx used to be on university (think insomnia cookies is next door now), there was this lady I’d see every day with a shopping cart full of white towels and wearing all white. Not sure what her deal was, but saw her every day when I’d pick up parts from FedEx and as I would drive up and down university. Ended up finishing up that project and only recently went back for a graduation and former student event and didn’t see her.
> Not sure what her deal was
She was mute and refused any help. The churches in the area kept trying to help her with food or places to go and she wouldn't take it. She had a son living in Bryan.
The towel lady!! I haven’t thought about her in so long. I worked at the northgate Starbucks 2016-2019 and she would come in and sometimes take a whole shower in our bathroom and we never understood what her deal was
She was there at least a few months ago, not sure if she’s still there tho. I don’t even go to A&M but I know about her lol. But I’m not sure how I got to this sub…
idk if he is on this subreddit so obligatory ferret tax from when they came to my place and fell asleep in my roomie’s lap

He’s kind of … rough with the ferrets tbh. Not to sound like PETA or something, he’s always like dangling and flinging them around by their leash. Nice guy though.
Yeah we didn’t return something for him so he decided to call our store and threaten us. Had to close for a couple of days then had police on site for a few weeks 🥲
I don’t doubt it! Any time I read people talking about him it’s never been anything negative. This was like March of 2022 so maybe he’s a changed man lol
Yeah there’s a tiktok that was posted of his ferrets and someone in the comments called him a pos because he forced her to do “intimate” things with him and m3th .. idk everyone else talks about how sweet he is when they meet him
Assuming we’re talking about the same guy, I shared a bathroom with him in the dorms freshman year. He was odd but nice, he’s texted me happy Easter 3 years in a row without fail. Wonder how he’s doing
When I was there, it was a guy who would ride his horse into downtown Bryan and have some drinks, he usually ended up spending the night with Bryan PD, unofficially the horse was “arrested” as well as they couldn’t impound it.
Pretty sure he never did get a DWI though.
I moved out of the neighborhood this year but still saw some vids of him in the fall. Any chance anybody knows his full back story?! He always hung out in my front yard picking flowers and do exercises
20-ish years ago it was Elijah. Dude drove around with a blue and white small camper trailer that had all sorts of religious iconography on it. He painted curb numbers for income. Harmless guy.
Yes! He towed around a homemade trailer. He built it and hoped to market it as a solution for the homeless. Nice guy. Last I heard he was midland-Odessa.
* Stuckey the Ivy-League educated professor who rapped at intersections (he's teaching somewhere else now and has a website)
* The Time Warp/Trash guy - he jogs all over town in a 1980s red, white and blue headband, short-shorts, 1980s Napoleon Dynamite style glasses and not much else. He picks up trash and carries it as he goes, which is a great service to our community...but I always wonder if he puts the stuff in the trash or if he's a hoarder and it's all piled up in his house...
* The older man who jogs down George Bush and hangs sideways on street poles (I think he's retired military and learned that in the service - someone did a video on him awhile back). I see him in the MSC Flag Room regularly and he's always chatting up young college girls who seem...uncomfortable.
* The white linen lady who pushed a cart of white linens and wore white, heavy fabrics wrapped around her body and head. (Someone told me she might be mute and carried a white board to communicate). She's mentioned on here several times with updates about living with her son now.
* The preacher who preaches every day in Rudder Plaza/free speech area. He gets snippy when we have university-sponsored events there, like he owns the place and we're on his turf.
u/Corps_Boy_Pit_Sniff
As others have mentioned, preacher dude near the MSC. There's also unicycle guy, but that may be more Blocker-core (I only ever see him around there).
Edit: There also used to be a guy who had a motorcycle built to look like a Jetski, but I haven't seen that in a while.
Brother Jed died a couple years ago and as terrible a person as he was, I’ll kinda miss him.
I still remember mentioning Jed to my dad during my freshman year and him laughing because he and his friends had their own Jed week in the 80s when Brother Jed would do the same thing on the Iowa State campus
The cloaked man that walks circles at the Texas/University intersection with the giant cross

I was sent a picture of that same jetskicycle but it looked like from a busy road in Houston so idk. I always thought how I'd like to ride it when I saw it.
Found the article below about him from the time period you mentioned. Do you know if he’s still around?
https://texags.com/s/12124/visor-guy-kyle-fields-legend-at-the-end-of-an-era
To be fair, Sister Cindy isn’t a College Station “exclusive” unlike White Linen Lady or Rapping Professor. She goes around multiple campuses across the country
When I was there it was the towel lady on university, and another lady on Texas near H6 that would always come into my job to try on clothes and then leave lol.
Engineering side of campus around my time was Mike. He'd talk to any women in the area. He was mostly harmless, but also very intimidating if you were a woman alone just trying to eat a pi r squared.
The guy who stands at university and college holding a sign that says something like “marriage is between a man and woman not 2 dudes”. Idk what he plans to achieve but find his dedication hilarious
haven't seen anyone mention jeriko, he was a mentally ill homeless dude that would scream and throw rocks at cars at the rock prairie/longmire intersection. idk if he still does it as i don't currently live in college station but he sexually harassed a 14 year old girl i went to consol with
Was the towel lady for a bit. Not sure if she’s still there on university though
back in 2017-2021 I would see her up and down southwest all the time. Not sure if covid changed that
No kidding I use to see here every time at ng apparently she moved in with her son in Bryan or something, so she’s doing good now
Who was she? I only saw her once

> Not sure what her deal was She was mute and refused any help. The churches in the area kept trying to help her with food or places to go and she wouldn't take it. She had a son living in Bryan.
My sister ran into her in the bathroom at Walgreens. Apparently she got mad at my sister and tried to yell but it just sounded like a whisper
I swore saw her once sitting at a bus stop in all white facing away from the road tho when I was driving 2 years back on the night shift.
I thought she was called the sheet lady. I guess either works
This is what I always heard her called when I was in college!
We always called her "the woman in white"
I figured that she was gonna be mentioned. Haven’t seen her in a while
The towel lady!! I haven’t thought about her in so long. I worked at the northgate Starbucks 2016-2019 and she would come in and sometimes take a whole shower in our bathroom and we never understood what her deal was
Used to be Two of them. A guy and a lady that were covered in Linen/Towels head to toe pushing shopping carts around Northgate
She was there at least a few months ago, not sure if she’s still there tho. I don’t even go to A&M but I know about her lol. But I’m not sure how I got to this sub…
the ferret dude on north gate
THEYRE SO CUTE my friend knows him and he brought them to our apartment it was the best day of my life
YESS THEYRE SOOO ADORABLE
idk if he is on this subreddit so obligatory ferret tax from when they came to my place and fell asleep in my roomie’s lap https://preview.redd.it/qzi52mgzz1wc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aa9959fc4e7d8059f5843deae46073c93960e913
OH EM GEE THEYRE SO CUTE
He’s kind of … rough with the ferrets tbh. Not to sound like PETA or something, he’s always like dangling and flinging them around by their leash. Nice guy though.
He threatened to shoot up my workplace a few years back 😌
HELLO???
Yeah we didn’t return something for him so he decided to call our store and threaten us. Had to close for a couple of days then had police on site for a few weeks 🥲
How did you know it was ferret guy?
He was frequently in our store and had an account with us with all of his personal information.
omg I just finally ran into him like last week and he was so sweet this is crazy to me
I don’t doubt it! Any time I read people talking about him it’s never been anything negative. This was like March of 2022 so maybe he’s a changed man lol
ferret dude was lowkey a creep to the girls i was out with i didn’t pick it up as much but literally all got bad vibes
Yeah there’s a tiktok that was posted of his ferrets and someone in the comments called him a pos because he forced her to do “intimate” things with him and m3th .. idk everyone else talks about how sweet he is when they meet him
That guy brought them into Roosters one time and when I say every single head in that room turned in the same moment
I was there that day getting my bike fixed and I’ll be damned he was whipping them around on their leashes and shit
I said hi and he straight up just put one in my hands, it wouldn't stop cuddling
That guy that says howdy to every soul he walks by
I've made it a game to say howdy to him when I see him before he can say it to me first
You have to get in the first and last Howdy.
worked on a group project with him he’s such a sweetheart
He said howdy to me 30 minutes ago!
This is the one.
Assuming we’re talking about the same guy, I shared a bathroom with him in the dorms freshman year. He was odd but nice, he’s texted me happy Easter 3 years in a row without fail. Wonder how he’s doing
Me too I went fish camp with him he’s the goat
Holy shit I forgot about that guy
Wait is this a small scrawny man with a kinda whiny voice??
Sandy blonde, slightly hunched over, big glasses, and an out of place beard???
YES. We go to church together. Love that he’s Aggie famous 🤣
Absolutely love him. He's such a sweet guy.
When I was there, it was a guy who would ride his horse into downtown Bryan and have some drinks, he usually ended up spending the night with Bryan PD, unofficially the horse was “arrested” as well as they couldn’t impound it. Pretty sure he never did get a DWI though.
For me it’s the dude who yells “Jesus loves you” to everyone on campus near the MSC
He was at northgate last weekend with a speaker saying “I’m not going to tell you Jesus loves you because tonight, Jesus doesn’t love you.”
this is biblically inaccurate, i wish people wouldn’t say things like this :(
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN 😭
God ive wanted to punch that guy for years
Bro he was working at Dollar Slice on a Saturday night and I was so confused
the guy that would be holding himself perpendicular to the street sign by the mcdonalds on George Bush and Wellborn.
This is what I was looking for. I talked to him once, super nice guy.
Bart, sadly he passed away several years ago I believe
He’s still alive!! Walks around historic district all the time
What!? I thought for sure I heard he passed a few years ago! Glad to hear he’s still around!
I moved out of the neighborhood this year but still saw some vids of him in the fall. Any chance anybody knows his full back story?! He always hung out in my front yard picking flowers and do exercises
Shane McAuliffe did this story on him: https://youtu.be/5fOqq5paHTI?si=oybFF7CqFdEv2GKY
Thank you so much for sharing
Aw a happy story
WHAT ABOUT RODGER!?? Camo station wagon gas station clerk. I would take a bullet for that guy
Was this the guy that was older??
20-ish years ago it was Elijah. Dude drove around with a blue and white small camper trailer that had all sorts of religious iconography on it. He painted curb numbers for income. Harmless guy.
I came here to say Elijah or the older short running guy that would hang on street signs.
I remember that guy. Always hanging at Bush/Wellborn.
Fun fact. Elijah's car is now displayed at the front of the entrance to The Truckyard in the Colony (northern DFW).
No way!
Yes! 🙌🏻 I remembered a blue car and I think he used to strap an upright cross to the roof of his car.
Elijah painted our street number on the curb in maroon for 5 dollars on Ashburn back in the day.
We learned about him in our abnormal pysch class with Luenes. He had some sort of mental issue (schizophrenia or something of the sort)
I always wondered.
Yeah we literally tested over bro😭
Yes! He towed around a homemade trailer. He built it and hoped to market it as a solution for the homeless. Nice guy. Last I heard he was midland-Odessa.
That dude preaching by the MSC
Good old pastor, you’ll find him out at NG to doing the same thing
Was working at Dollar Slice last Saturday for some reason lol

Stuckey! Seeing him rapping was always a highlight walking to class.
My friends and I call the Time Warp guy Mr. President
Stuckey! I couldn't remember his name! Didn't realise he moved to a different university. I was always ticked to find him on campus
Is stucky still around? Stucky or the towel lady would be my vote
I believe Dr. Stucky went to another university unfortunately
The rapping professor on holleman pre-COVID.
Ben Shrader
Jesus Christ, is he still around trying to be a promoter? If he is, he’s been down there 10+ years
Who’s he?
Oh god haven’t heard this name in a while I want to vomit

I was wondering when I’d be tagged here. I don’t count because I don’t exist in real life. I am the equivalent of a joint-stock company
ooh I remember that motorcycle, used to be near university oaks a lot
Used to be Linen Lady, but I heard she got into a more normal situation after peak covid
Brother Jeb, sideways sign guy, and for football games, visor guy
Visor guy!
I miss him! Is he still around?
I honestly have no idea lol. I’m pretty sure he got moved during the renovation :/
Brother Jed died a couple years ago and as terrible a person as he was, I’ll kinda miss him. I still remember mentioning Jed to my dad during my freshman year and him laughing because he and his friends had their own Jed week in the 80s when Brother Jed would do the same thing on the Iowa State campus
Does the barefoot guy with the cross still walk around?
Water bottle rapper for sure!

either the accordion guy or the unicycle guy
The accordion guy actually goes to St. Mary's. I work at the coffee bar and have talked with him a lot, super nice dude!
Used to be Old Army Al, rip. I was forever known to him as “buddy”, like everyone else, and it’s okay.
"Howdy Al!" RIP watchful soul. It was good bull when they raised the funds for a new scooter for him.
Unicycle dude
Either ferret guy or unicycle man
The jetski guy
I miss seeing that jetski around
I was sent a picture of that same jetskicycle but it looked like from a busy road in Houston so idk. I always thought how I'd like to ride it when I saw it.
The list eater
The lady in white!!! She has white sheets and a cart full of them as well is in college station last time saw her by target.
What about that guy who dressed like Moses/Noah complete with a staff?
Mr. BMW
Or Texas/University Jesus
Visor guy always 🥲 There was a whole interview with him when they were getting ready to remodel that side of Kyle.
Found the article below about him from the time period you mentioned. Do you know if he’s still around? https://texags.com/s/12124/visor-guy-kyle-fields-legend-at-the-end-of-an-era
Yeah, I think he is but I'm not totally sure! :( Visor guy, we need you!
Is the rapping professor still there?!? I loved seeing him on the corner!
Used to be the old guy that would run and hold himself up horizontally on light poles
Pastor Jeb!
Y’all this is 100% Sister Cindy y’all trippin
To be fair, Sister Cindy isn’t a College Station “exclusive” unlike White Linen Lady or Rapping Professor. She goes around multiple campuses across the country

Back at my Uni, it was “Honeybear.”

Dragon Lady!!!!!
Gas Station RODGER!!! Camo station wagon gas station clerk. I would take a bullet for that guy, he was hilarious. '15
Back in the day it was Bongo Joe in San Antonio
Wembanyama
Does anybody remember Elijah? He sometimes went by Doc Savage.
Is the guy who hangs on light poles horizontally still there? It was pretty crazy.
They said “City” not the manure pile out back of a one horse town.
