He was standing in the road pretending to be a policeman.trying to direct traffic whilst nearly getting run over all the time. then when I went to the petrol staion at the bottom of ecclesall road he was inside the shop going through all the crisps and he asked to see my identification because he said im from the police. carrying an empty safeways bag in one hand and was kinda trembling. I was fascinated.this was at 1.45 this morning, wonder if hes in the loony bin yet. WIp

That's nothing, I live right by an asylum...and a (normal) hospital, a specialist hospital for weird tropical diseases and a young offender's institute. This isn't news to me...

my fiance is a psychologist and deals with this day in and day out for 10 hours a day. you should here some stories. one guy shoved a bar of soap up his ass...she asked him why he did this...his response "I was horny and my penis was cracked". Apparently he masturbates so much that his penis is raw.

The mad kid walked left-side south-side towards me. He was about 7. His mother was a cleaning lady. She had a large black dog and the mad kid said: "Gimme the lead! Gimme the lead! Gimme the lead!". I'd just walked past the alcoholics' dry-out house. The lawn was littered with cans of Barbican. There was a feminist's Austin Maxi parked outside with anti-nicotine anti-nuclear stickers on the side, on the inside and they didn't even smoke.

Anyway, two weeks before the mad kid had said to me "I'll take both of you on, I'll take both of you on". Then he seemed the young one. He had a parka on and a black cardboard Archbishop's hat with a green- fuzz skull and crossbones. He'd just got back from the backward kids' party. Anyway, then he seemed the young one but now he looked like the victim of a pogrom.

ten months pass...

random revival. . .

There used to be this lady who lived on the streets surrounding my University. If a black person drove by she would run out into the street screaming and throwing things at them.

Working midnights at a gas station I've seen much worse. Though the soap bar one would be odd. My personal favorite was the woman who thought she was giving birth. When she finally saw the cops I've never seen someone run so fast in bare feet. Too bad shes doped up cause we should have put her in the olympics.

What is it with crazy people and directing traffic? It's like the most stereotypical thing for them to do. Doesn't the chick in Benny and Joon do it? Do you think they do it because at some level at the back of their mind they're thinking "Oh, I'm crazy. Crazy people are supposed to go out and direct traffic.", or is it somehow related to the other mentalist staple "I am Jesus/Napolean/God/the president/the king/etc." in that, you know, they're acting out all their frustrated control issues?

Woe unto you unbelievers.......they are Jesus/Napolean/God/the president/the king/etc. That's right, all of them.
