Heathcote, are you a parody of an English person? I don't mean to be a dickhead or anything mind.

Heathcote is an English parody of jordanmichael.

There's an old man in town who is sort of a folk hero.  Anyone will tell you all they know baout him with a smile on their face.  Tonight at a Highschool basketball game against our rival school, he was there, as he always is...walking up and down the bleechers passing out candy to all us kids.  I took it and tasted its firey goodness in spite of all those elementary school warnings, because this guy is the man.

[WhereTheSlimeLive]

btw the team is doing really well too.  Record streak of 9-0 right now.

Old men folk heroes are great. Ours is somewhat creepier.

There was a man in my hometown whom everyone knew as "Bicycle Man." He was old, heavily bearded, and would wander the town pushing, not riding, his bike, distributing poems to people, and taking pictures of teenage girls. I used to joke that my future job would be to take his place, and become the new Bicycle Man. He died, recently; the headline explicitly called him Bicycle Man. I can't even remember his real name.

Members of my church have been excitedly telling me the news, how now is my chance to take his bicycle and his place. I can't disappoint them.

[WhereTheSlimeLive]

did he dress up as santa every year?

[Swimmy]

No, he was more of a creepy-hobo-who's-not-really-a-hobo-because-he-has-an-apartment than a beloved community figure who interacted with people in any socially normal way. He was my hero, though.

[WhereTheSlimeLive]

A more objectionable me would say your guys sounds cooler.

In the town where I grew up, there was a guy who was, I guess one might say, mentally handicapped.  His name was Bob, and Bob's thing was to go up to everyone in town when he saw them and yell YOU'RE FIRED! loudly, but in a sort of gregarious way that was really charming.  I guess the great thing about Bob was that he didn't really have any visible means of support, and everyone in town sort of helped him out; he got free lunch at the local restaurant, things like that.  Also, he was like the great equalizer--he didn't care who were, he would still fire you.

Right next to Rockford (my city) there's a smaller city called Loves Park.  In Loves Park, there's a guy who has a used car dealership.  He also has tourette's syndrome--the kind that makes him bark like a dog randomly and cuss a lot.  He also says "ILOVEYOU" really loud and fast in the middle of talking a lot.  He calls himself "The Barker From The Park."  It's even on the sign of his car dealership.

I'M GOING TO CONNECTICUT!

Wait, are you excited about this?

That's so confusing to me.

[jebreject]

My time spent in Conneticut, albeit very breif, was not particularly pleasant.

Hello to you, Swimmy!

In my hometown of Manchester, there was a guy named Jimmy Katsekas who called himself The Flash.  He wandered the downtown area, racing cars (while he was on foot, mind you) and doing exercises.  Truly, he was a hero among men.

He died about a year or so ago.  Everyone I know got really sad about that.

My time in Connecticut was the happiest of my life. Oh those three days.


And yes hello Swimmy. Anyone who ends their name in a 'y' is okay by me.

You're all giving Heathcote a complex.

Heath, I understood every word of your post, and we hate the British.

This was a joke - and this disclaimer hints that it was a bad one, but really let up on the poor kid

" i'm English "

" i'm American "

First of all, it's perfectly okay to give Heathcote a complex because the Brits are hogging up all the cute on the board.

And secondly, shouldn't those smileys be the other way around?

[Good Intentions]

Dude, those smilies are Heathcote cutting through layers of nationalist bullshit like a guillotine through a toffee apple.
