There was that guy with his obsessive pet theory about the Egyptians using geysers to build pyramids. That was certainly odd. ---

The guy who started a union for homeless people. Apparently the had dues and meetings and stuff. One alchoholic was drinking the hand sanitizer He started a pretty out there thread about monkeys being used as prostitutes. I still feel a bit bad about him because I made a joke that he overreacted to that got him ban hammered. AND I am pretty sure he tracked my ass down and made a bizarre phone call/ threat… but only once so there was that. ---

I love that kind of oddity though. It’s a nice change-up from the typical trolls and bigots. ---

WTH is a “Mercotan”? All I get when I Google is some dummy on message boards. ---

What about that guy that had a username that sounded like a oriental fighting master…masterkay? masterfung? or something like that? That guy could tell some wild assed stories. ---
