Is he holding a bowstaff? I can't make out the hockey blades. I like how the skinny one is standing back out of arm's reach...like he's the one dying to get away from the awkward conversation.

[amorak]

I don't think they know the definition of an awkward conversation

It could be worse... You could have Leslie as an icon in your city.

I ran into Southland Larry today. Did anyone mention that this dude is a religious nutcase in addition to just a general whackjob?

He was riding/driving this bicycle-pusher thing, it was a bike with a thing on the front of it, I cant really describe it. Anyways, hes got sporting equipment of all kinds attached to this thing any which way he could manage it.

I'm talking tennis and badminton rackets, hockey sticks, there was a massacred basketball hoop, you name it. He also substituted his usual double-bladed hockey stick for a hockey stick with a lacross basket on the other end.

And all of this frames his sign, which today was:

"Revelations 17: The Beast and the Whore."

Thats it, no explanation. Thats all. And he was standing on the road facing West and Zeig-Heiling, the whole motion too, not just the outstretched arm, he started at the chest, outward, then the arm flip up just like Hitler used to do.

So, in short summation, he managed to combine biking, sports equipment, the end of the world, public demonstration and Nazis into one awesome package of bat##### insanity.

Of course he was wearing shorts, but on a nice day like today that seemed like the least crazy part about him.

That is too funny, I was driving west on southland just before elbow when I saw that contraption. I didn't see Larry around but I knew he had something to do with it haha.

Was it the same guy?

I saw the sign today... you failed to mention the drawing of the foot and a half long vagina in the middle....

[monocle]

I saw him shoveling snow on Southland and Sacramento Dr about two weeks ago when it was 23 below. Yes, he was wearing shorts.

I was trying to get away while maintaing a safe striking distance from the hockey/lacrosse stick thingy.

Dude is weird on a good day but he was on the special drugs today.

Crazy people in the streets is like the business card of a major Metropolitan city, it feels nice to know we've finally made it!

[Jimmy Stang]

I don't often drive on Southland, but when I do, I actually look for this guy.

[Tron_fdc]

Crazy people fascinate me for some reason. I just can't figure out what makes them do the things they do, and I'm always super interested to hear their stories.

I travel to a lot of different cities, and a few of my favs:

- Downtown Seattle. Saw a guy (probably in his 70's) dressed in drag (TIGHT, low cut skirt), full makeup, standing with his "lover" who just happened to be a mannequin. He would arrange her every once in a while, hold her hand, hug her, dance with her, and when he finished with that, just stand on the side of the road with her. Never said a word, just hung out all day.

- The crazy guy who used to hang out front of the Ship (Carl?) emptied his pockets one night at the Night Gallery. THAT was interesting.......it was a glimpse into the mind of a loony, because what he pulled out was stuff that caught his attention.

- had a guy wander into the backpackers I worked at in Oz, that used to be the town hall. He started ranting, not realizing we were a bunch of backpackers who were probably all drunk or stoned, but quite entertained at his stance on the town, and how they screwed over him and his old lady.

I hope to maybe one day see Mr. Southland. I'm not on that road very often, but it would probably make my day.

Yeah, I saw him hauling out that 3-wheeled bike before I left for work this morning. I had to detour from my normal route as I didn't want to deal with anymore crazy. I'm surprised no one mentioned him on this board for a while as it seems like he's been doing something strange at that cul-de-sac almost daily.

I did see him do tricks on that bike several times. Not sure if that's something you'd tell your friends about. I mean, it's a tricycle.

Apparently 2 cop cars came by this afternoon and seized Larry's big green sign he had on his bike. Didn't see what was written on it but I guess someone was probably offended by it.

[Flames_Gimp]

and none of you thought to record a video of him?...you let me down CP!

[Huntingwhale]

Damn, next time l drive by i'm gonna try and capture it on film.

The two foot long Vagina probably did the trick....

FlamesGimp, I did take pics of his contraption, but it was with my BB on the other side of the road whilst trying to evade Larry, so they're not great.

That guy is pretty amazing, although I still believe the title of best crazy guy belongs to the Kelowna Jedi Guy

Yeah, I've seen him shoveling the median of Southland near Elbow for years.
