went to high school in houston and around 2005 to at least 2011 there was a guy that hung out around Upper Kirby who had matted flat hair that formed into one giant dreadlock. we affectionately referred to this individual as Beavertail.

When I was a kid, my town had 'Earless' (some dude that burned his ears off in a fire and rode around on a bicycle that only had rims), 'Big A' (this guy who was obviously retarded and didn't have much of a tongue because he chewed holes in it), and 'Boom Boom' (this homeless Vet who had PTSD from serving in tanks in WWII and could only really say, 'Boom, boom')


I grew up around shite like this. Now I live far away, and I try to tell my friends what it was like to grow up around so many characters, and they just don’t get it.

You had to be there.

Had one in my hometown nicknamed Slim. Bunch of dipshits even put him on the mayoral ticket and made banners for him and everything.

The guy was bat shite bonkers, regularly talk to himself, wore 6 layers of jackets, consistently smelled terrible. But he wouldnt accept money (only food) and he never harrassed anyone that I know of.

Cops ended up picking him up for his own welfare a few years ago and I'm pretty sure he died in the hospital

I legit call this one guy in New Orleans “Mr. Black Man.” Every time I roll up to him, I say “well hello Mr. Black Man” just out of habit. Is that racist?
