There's this dude in the parking lot

[TDK]

Outside my window, down in the parking lot, there is a man in a white robe walking calmly yet determinedly through the parking lot carrying a naginata and a bokken.

I think he's going to exact some STREET JUSTICE. Maybe take revenge on the drug dealers who killed his family.


Thread: Discuss the weird things and people you have seen just like, on the street or whatever (and how it might seem like the weirdest goddamn thing in the world, but there is always, from their perspective, a reason for it.)

Edit: In retrospect, this kinda would've been more awesome if he was wearing like, jeans and a t-shirt rather than a martial arts robe.

Not really up to par with that, but there's this guy in my area who's, like, everywhere. Seriously, I see him probably at least once a week, and it's not just in my normal stomping grounds. I'll see him close to my house at the supermarket one day and across town near Best Buy the next. It would be different if I could say "well, he's just one of those guys that looks like everybody and I can't be sure," but he's got this really goofy-looking face that's impossible to mistake and the kid shows up in the most random places. Best part is that he seems to walk everywhere or maybe take a bike, because he never is heading to or from a motor vehicle and is often strutting or half-dancing alongside the road in teenaged "young and invincible" fashion.

I dunno, my brother noticed him, too. He's a goofy little character, so he's hard to miss, but he also sure as heck gets around. XD

If you are everywhere he is as well, there may be a correlation.

Why do YOU get from one place to the opposite place, if not to follow him? Hmmmm? It makes just as little sense that you would be moving such strange gaps of distance as he.

Weirdest event(s) I've ever had like this was when I saw "myself" (no less than three times in the course of a month) getting out of/into my car in various areas where I used to frequent (when I lived in Miami). Obviously, it wasn't really me, but there was this guy with the same hair, build, and look, wore the same sunglasses, had the same leather jacket, had the same model car (pewter 90's Volvo), the same jeans, and shirt as I did. I honestly couldn't say that he was my clone or doppleganger or whatever, because the sunglasses hid the eyes, but my eyebrows and lips are pretty thick and unusual in a guy with skin as pale as mine (a gift from my "Native American" heritage). The kind of frustrating part was that I was never in a place that I could slow down or stop - I seriously always only saw him in passing. We always were wearing the same shirt that day and pants. And he was always entering or leaving his vehicle (I was in mine) when I passed him. It was always so weird. Then I moved four hours away.

Pretty much everyone in my city knows Feather Hat Guy, but nobody really knows anything about him. He is a mysterious old man who always wears a hat with feathers in it. And it's not just one hat either, he has a few of them.

That reminds me of all those people on Hey Arnold.

If Hey Arnold has taught me anything, you must befriend this guy because he's just a cool dude recluse who saves pigeons' lives.

Go back. Find him. Challenge him to mortal combat.

I saw Batman walking through town the other day. That's not even a lie.

Sounds like an Uesegi soldier.
Go find out if he's looking for Takeda.

Let him know he's not blending in and should maybe find a group of monks to walk with or something.
