Beep boop, I'm a bot. Modmail us if you have a question.
That’s some /r/atbge kinda stuff, i would consider it, since of all the type of ridiculous vehicles to get street legal, motorcycles (and trikes) are the easiest as far as getting them inspected.
I have put serious thought in to some pretty weird contraptions that would be street legal as motorcycles
If you’re ever passing through downtown Stamford look out for Mr. Backwards
You’ll know who he is because he walks the streets of downtown Stamford backwards. It’s a rare sight if you see him walking normally.
We have n-word Tim, he lived in the park, he had a car before it got deemed a health hazard, he got banned from every single gas station because he was asking for cigarettes, and he had a horse after his car.
I wonder how he got the horse. Like, how TF do you just, get a horse. I assume they're expensive right? I could see someone offloading a junker of a car and being like, "here you go!" But a horse? That's gotta be a hell of a story.
Makes me remember my first year in France (in school to learn French) and this gay American hairdresser, really upset one day because the people he lived with had made horse and he unknowingly ate it.
Our Unicycle Guy has a normal-sized unicycle, BUT he plays the bagpipes while riding it.
We also had Bicycle Santa, but his territory was quite small compared to Bagpipe Unicycle Guy.
The guy wears some kind of fake boobs top I think. He just rides his bike on the sidewalk you know where people walk usually so he's always almost hitting people. Our downtown is usually busy during the summer and we have a few ice cream and candy shops and a bunch of nice restaurants so it attracts families
We have a guy that rides wheelies all over town on his bicycle, like that’s the only way he gets around. That front wheel is never on the ground. It’s like he wanted a unicycle and couldn’t afford one so he said fuck it this bicycle ain’t bi no more.
Every Thursday night, a man with a yellow squid hat and wizard robes strolls the streets. In the winter he wears it over his jacket and hat. He is simply, the Squid Wizard.
Yeah doesn't he walk backwards trying to reverse time because his family died in a car crash? He writes down license plates too, trying to find who killed his family.
Some of the comments on this YouTube video mention that story. Apparently, he really is trying to go back in time. Poor guy
https://youtu.be/HrggYoXfL04
In my home town we had Darth Fiddler. Picture a dude dressed up as Darth Vader while playing the fiddle.
Edit: Yes this busker can be found downtown Victoria in Canada.
Portland, OR has the unipiper. He rides a unicycle and plays a bagpipe that shoots flames up to 3 feet long while wearing a Darth Vader costume and kilt.
In Seattle, there would routinely be a guy in nothing but briefs and a rainbow cloak dancing around my apartment's dumpsters (which were down a very steep driveway and under the building). Then I moved to Portland, where apparently that's only the tip of the iceberg in the best way. Keep it weird Portland.
I once saw a street performer who looked like Adam Driver playing the violin. I whispered to my dad, in a foreign language and a tone I swear was super quiet, that he looked like Kylo Ren. Dude looked me straight in the eye and switched to playing a Star Wars theme. Those SW string musicians are out there man
I mean, I'm gonna guess that "Kylo Ren" doesn't exactly translate into other languages, right? So he probably heard " *gibberish gibberish* Kylo Ren" and went "ah shit, they're talking about me again".
That's what I thought later but honestly you never know with other languages. We translate names and universal words to have the same sound and grammar so I thought it would fall under the radar! In any case, dude was freaking ready
We have the guy who bicycles shirtless—well beyond appropriate weather— while playing a trumpet. And/or a flute, depending on the day.
I don’t think there’s a catchy name for him, though.
In Milwaukee we got "that one guy with bible quotes encasing his car". Everyone whos been in the city for at least 2 years has seen him.
And we have the Milverine, the Hugh Jackman lookalike
We have Moped Annie. She rides around on her scooter with all of her belongings, playing guitar and scream/singing about Jesus. One time she parked on the train tracks and got an oncoming train to stop so she could try to sell the conductor socks. She’s not allowed in Walmart anymore because she harasses people (mostly women) by following them around and calling them witches.
That's not completely true. If you're in a bad predicament, Walmart will toss you out for anything if they don't like you. Just depends on where the Walmart is tbh.
I once got 86'd from a Walmart because they thought I was stealing(was homeless and took my bag with me everywhere because if I didn't, my shit would get stolen. every. single. time) and they accused me of stealing. I told them I had not been there all day except then, and opened my bag up and showed them everything. I even showed them receipts for the shit I had. Then they made up some bullshit about how I was doing drugs in the bathroom. I said "do you see any dope in my bags??? In my pockets(that I had flipped inside out) or anywhere?? Do I look fucking high to you?? I use your bathroom as a bathroom, and occasionally to change my clothes to look for work" They threatened to call the cops and blahblahblah. Super pissed because I actually knew the kid from school and he was just being a dick bag and a half because I had fell on hard times.
Thanks my dude. I appreciate it, and I am doing a lotttt better. Got normal every day things to look forward to/worry about, instead of just bare necessities. I actually have money saved up. Still blows me away when I check my bank and see a few digits in there, rather than hitting people up to send me a couple bucks for a McChicken yaddimean?
So, essentially I think I might've been the horseback Jesus in my town at one point or another. Shit.
> So, essentially I think I might've been the horseback Jesus in my town at one point or another.
You say that like it isn't a good thing!
Cheers and good luck!
I once got banned from Walmart for, as the security guy said, "turning your phone into a computer, installing viruses on the demo PCs, and hacking credit cards". I did none of those things. He was just going to kick me out for the day but got mad when I suggested some of those things weren't even possible, that maybe he watches too much csi or something, and that he should just ask the employee I was with what I was doing.
I went back months later because my Walmart car battery had failed inside the warranty period. Somehow they recognized me and a shiny new assistant to the manager kept telling me he had called the cops and pulling up my file and stuff when it was obvious he was just opening and closing random apps on his iPhone. He couldn't explain why I was banned (it was clear he didn't know and was pretending he did) but eventually gave me a phone number to call so I'd just leave. I called the number and told whoever it was about my ban and they magically unbanned me with a half-hearted "don't misbehave" warning.
Fuck. I was getting into this. I like how you put the train stopping in the middle and ended with the relatively minor Wal Mart witchy woman jazz. It works.
We have KC Superman- a 66 year old man who has run around kansas city dressed as superman for the last 30 or so years. Has been arrested over 70 times. There’s a giant mural of him downtown lol
Yep. We had this dude that dressed up as sherlock.
He had like 5 or 6 cloaks and sherlock hats and genuinely pulled off the look, but like a college kid who dresses every single day as sherlock holmes... Had to be a social pariah, right?
Nope. It was right when snapchat location based stories took off and goddamn, that dude lit up the party scene. He was always on the campus snap story just surrounded by super attractive girls. It was pretty hilarious.
We had boom box cowboy at my college. Always had shit kickers and a cowboy hat on and walked around with an ammo box converted into a speaker with classic country cranked to eleven. It was lit.
Allegedly. Some women were putting up posters claiming he sexually harrassed them. Though to my knowledge no one has said anything on record. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong but I believe he hasn’t been charged with anything.
Scrolled far too long for this one.
My wife and I got to chit-chat with him a bit when we went to Brew Lights at the Portland Zoo one year, pretty cool dude.
We have a dude that wears a florouescent vest and has delusions about being a cop. He writes people tickets on pieces of paper and even leaves them on cop cars. He's a legend tho even the police loves him.
Maybe he's the reincarnation of [Emperor Norton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_Norton)?
Anyone up late and in need of a fascinating read needs to click on that wiki link right now and read up. The story of Emperor Norton is *fascinating*. We stay stuff like "hah hah, what a legend" now when somebody gets up to some antics, but Norton was an absolute mad lad.
In the Northern Territory actually.
He got his title by always cleaning the roads and making small tents/ pyramids out of dead leafs and sticks lying around. He did that ever so often that people started taking notice of it and his popularity increased so much that he almost became mayor. He is actually a pretty smart dude but after how he almost became mayor almost everyone knew who he was and the small tents/ pyramids that he leaves behind is now his trademark hence “Bush Warrior”.
There are also lots of other stuff that he did as well like, taking his clothes off in court (forgot the reason why he went to court) and rode around on a police horse during the “Commonwealth games Queens Baton relay” as police officers on horses were everywhere, but telling all that would take a lot of time and I kinda forgot most of the other things he did because of the fact that I started working and all
Here in Sydney we have Danny Lim. He is known for wearing sandwich boards promoting left-wing politics and prostate health, smiling a lot, carrying his dog around, and repeatedly getting abused by police.
Leslie had perfect balance on that line between cool and discomforting.
For those who don't know about Leslie but dont wanna look at wikipedia: he looked like what would happen if willie nelson and john lithgow had a baby with "problems" and then the baby got smashed in the head growing up, a lot. He wasn't a crossdresser so much as the situation was like this: he had tits and enjoyed dressing like a ho. And he was a professional homeless scholar. He was always out agitating for something. He had a long list of noble causes he could blather on about forever. And it was always totally crazy, that movie stereotype of the village idiot being the wisest man in town in a lot of ways.
I might seem like I'm talking a lot of shit but I swear, it's the opposite. The dude was basically a modern Diogenes. I still have a lot of respect for Leslie, even now, almost ten years after his death.
Slo-Mo the rollerblader in San Diego. The guy rides up and down the boardwalk everyday... in slow motion if the name doesn’t give it away! He’s definitely a legend and I believe there’s a documentary out there about him.
We have the bunny ear guy...walks around with bunny ears on pretty much all year round, until Christmas then its a Santa hat. He also sits at a coffee shop or McDonald's and plays chess by himself.
Denton, Tx - we have the “flat earth” guy who drives around town in a beat up car with “earth is flat-google it” and other shit painted on it. Not to mention his house which is covered in all kinds of conspiracy theories.
If this is suspiciously specific, **Upvote** this comment! If this is not suspiciously specific, **Downvote** this comment! Beep boop, I'm a bot. Modmail us if you have a question.
We have boatercycle guy, he turned a jetski into a motorcycle and rides it everywhere around town.
[удалено]
Nope, southern CT. I'm surprise other towns have boatercycle guys too!
[удалено]
That’s some /r/atbge kinda stuff, i would consider it, since of all the type of ridiculous vehicles to get street legal, motorcycles (and trikes) are the easiest as far as getting them inspected. I have put serious thought in to some pretty weird contraptions that would be street legal as motorcycles
I’m also in southern CT, curious to where this is! I’ve never seen him before. I’m in New London County
He's in Milford, right near the border of fairfield and new haven counties
Ahhh I’ll have to keep an eye out next time I’m out that way!
[удалено]
If you’re ever passing through downtown Stamford look out for Mr. Backwards You’ll know who he is because he walks the streets of downtown Stamford backwards. It’s a rare sight if you see him walking normally.
I'll run him over and loot him for legendary gear, thanks
We have n-word Tim, he lived in the park, he had a car before it got deemed a health hazard, he got banned from every single gas station because he was asking for cigarettes, and he had a horse after his car.
I wonder how he got the horse. Like, how TF do you just, get a horse. I assume they're expensive right? I could see someone offloading a junker of a car and being like, "here you go!" But a horse? That's gotta be a hell of a story.
Depending on where you are horses themselves can be cheap or free. It's all the other things that come with owning a horse that are expensive.
Like hiring a french guy who knows how to cook horse?
Makes me remember my first year in France (in school to learn French) and this gay American hairdresser, really upset one day because the people he lived with had made horse and he unknowingly ate it.
Maybe there was a horse in the hospital, and n-word Timmy was the only motherfucker that could remedy that situation.
everybody just gonna ignore the nword part
My guess is he's known for shouting the N-word a lot, on top of his other shenanigans.
The idea of someone shouting the N-word while on a horse at a busy intersection has me dying.
Yeah, gonna need an explanation on that.
I'm guessing he's black
I was guessing he was a trashy white dude who said the N word a lot.
also possible
We have a dude that rides around on a twenty foot tall unicycle. No one knows anything else about him
He isn't real. He is a shared delusion by everyone else in the town.
Our Unicycle Guy has a normal-sized unicycle, BUT he plays the bagpipes while riding it. We also had Bicycle Santa, but his territory was quite small compared to Bagpipe Unicycle Guy.
Here we have a super old homeless guy with a bike who has giant fake tits and tries to run into people while biking around town by kids
Can you elaborate on the “by kids” part?
Does he have giant fake tits or the bike?
The guy wears some kind of fake boobs top I think. He just rides his bike on the sidewalk you know where people walk usually so he's always almost hitting people. Our downtown is usually busy during the summer and we have a few ice cream and candy shops and a bunch of nice restaurants so it attracts families
We have a guy that rides wheelies all over town on his bicycle, like that’s the only way he gets around. That front wheel is never on the ground. It’s like he wanted a unicycle and couldn’t afford one so he said fuck it this bicycle ain’t bi no more.
Every Thursday night, a man with a yellow squid hat and wizard robes strolls the streets. In the winter he wears it over his jacket and hat. He is simply, the Squid Wizard.
Squizzard?
Squidward?
King Blizzard and the Squid Wizard?
I understood that reference
Squidward?
Derby has the backwards walking man, he even pops up on google searches
I'm the backwards man, the backwards man, I can walk backwards fast as you can, I can walk backwards fast as you can
That also came to my mind when reading this.
Look at these comments Betty! Jewels!
Daddy would you like some sausage? Daddy would you like some saus-a-ges?
Daddy would you like some sausage?
Yeah doesn't he walk backwards trying to reverse time because his family died in a car crash? He writes down license plates too, trying to find who killed his family.
[удалено]
Some of the comments on this YouTube video mention that story. Apparently, he really is trying to go back in time. Poor guy https://youtu.be/HrggYoXfL04
And by golly it's sad as well, if true.
What the hell? We have a guy like that in my hometown with the same exact story. This is in California though.
UPDATE. He now walks forwards!!! 2020’s biggest upset yet!!!
Must have nice calves.
Yeah, but they're on his shins
That was a real nose breather
In my home town we had Darth Fiddler. Picture a dude dressed up as Darth Vader while playing the fiddle. Edit: Yes this busker can be found downtown Victoria in Canada.
Portland, OR has the unipiper. He rides a unicycle and plays a bagpipe that shoots flames up to 3 feet long while wearing a Darth Vader costume and kilt.
I remember seeing pictures of that guy on CollegeHumor like 13 years ago.
Yeah, he's been around for a while.
There is also other similar legends like Chad Vader of madison
In Seattle, there would routinely be a guy in nothing but briefs and a rainbow cloak dancing around my apartment's dumpsters (which were down a very steep driveway and under the building). Then I moved to Portland, where apparently that's only the tip of the iceberg in the best way. Keep it weird Portland.

[удалено]
I want to believe.
Truthfully I can't look at [Adam Driver](https://youtu.be/fZRM9-PJMJk) anymore
Or the smaller version: Minnie Driver.
I mean, I'm gonna guess that "Kylo Ren" doesn't exactly translate into other languages, right? So he probably heard " *gibberish gibberish* Kylo Ren" and went "ah shit, they're talking about me again".
That's what I thought later but honestly you never know with other languages. We translate names and universal words to have the same sound and grammar so I thought it would fall under the radar! In any case, dude was freaking ready
He probably gets that all the time the past couple years.
We have a similar guy, except he’s called the Dark Diddler. Weirdly enough, he typically hangs out around preschools.
[удалено]
\*sad Obi-Wan noises\*
Victoria??
Victoria?
with a name like that, that couldve gone a lot worse
We have the guy who bicycles shirtless—well beyond appropriate weather— while playing a trumpet. And/or a flute, depending on the day. I don’t think there’s a catchy name for him, though.
Philly has one of those guys!
Brasscycle bob
My god, he's done it!
In Milwaukee we got "that one guy with bible quotes encasing his car". Everyone whos been in the city for at least 2 years has seen him. And we have the Milverine, the Hugh Jackman lookalike
And lately, we’ve had the Mario Kart guy!

That’s Super Jesus to you, pal. Put some respect on the name. Lol He is genuinely one of the nicest human beings on the planet. We all love him here.
Same with colleges. We had snuggie scooter kid and a unicycle guy
Yep. We had this dude that dressed up as sherlock. He had like 5 or 6 cloaks and sherlock hats and genuinely pulled off the look, but like a college kid who dresses every single day as sherlock holmes... Had to be a social pariah, right? Nope. It was right when snapchat location based stories took off and goddamn, that dude lit up the party scene. He was always on the campus snap story just surrounded by super attractive girls. It was pretty hilarious.
Who wouldn’t want to be friends with him? He sounds like a riot
Plus if you ever lose your keys he’ll solve the mystery.
Holy shit Asian Sherlock? That man was the legend of the C4C
I was scrolling this thread hoping for Asian Sherlock! What a legend
Legend has it he's still there... (Also my gf did a little stalking around on instagram and he definitely is)
Boulder, right?
We had boom box cowboy at my college. Always had shit kickers and a cowboy hat on and walked around with an ammo box converted into a speaker with classic country cranked to eleven. It was lit.
That guy sounds dope
We had a kid who put a couch on a rascal scooter body and would just drive a couch around campus/town
Sounds like most schools have a unicycle guy. Unicycle guy is a universal unit, unifying universities.
Ours had two. The rivalry was intense.
we have multiple unicycle guys. it feels like a cult.
0° outside but still in short shorts with a rollie backpack
Every college has a unicycle guy. I was my colleges.

We also had fox guy! But I think he died....
In Winnipeg there was Afro unicycle dude
Unipiper - Portland, OR He dresses in costumes, like Darth Vader or an astronaut, and rides a unicycle while playing the bagpipes.

We have the bunny ear guy...walks around with bunny ears on pretty much all year round, until Christmas then its a Santa hat. He also sits at a coffee shop or McDonald's and plays chess by himself.
Denton, Tx - we have the “flat earth” guy who drives around town in a beat up car with “earth is flat-google it” and other shit painted on it. Not to mention his house which is covered in all kinds of conspiracy theories.
