apparently he likes driving his sports cars for fun and at some point discovered that it's even more fun and attention-grabbing to cruise around town in full cosplay. i guess people see him around Dallas all the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ljQJD3a404 Some real goony energy. Driving a purple Alfa legitimately owns though.

That joker guy reminds me of THE CLAW THE CLAW was a guy who would randomly appear around Pinellas county back in the 80's, he was a chubby goth guy who had some kind of animal claw hanging off his trench coat. You'd be driving somewhere and there he'd be, walking on the side of the highway, or you'd be in a 7-11 by the beach and there he'd fuckin be, and if he spotted you then you'd be in for a treat where he'd ask you repeatedly "have you ever been to Skyfeathers?"

We used to have a guy in town with a blonde mullet down to his rear end that drove an 80s cerulean blue camaro. We called him the phantom mullet after an old song. He always looked straight out of the 80s, in dress, too. One day, his mullet was gone, and he was just another dude with a bad mustache. Sad days.

There used to be a guy in our downtown we called Baby Man. I first ran into Baby Man when I was working for Greyhound (that job was pretty AUG). I was a baggage handler and when there weren't any buses we'd do basic janitorial and maintenance stuff. I was out in the loading area sweeping when I saw this guy watching one of the buses being washed. He was clearly mentally disturbed/homeless. NBD, you get that kind of stuff all the time around the bus station. But then I saw he was clutching something. It had a very distinctive shape. It was a baby. I was waiting for someone to start screaming about their missing child, so I casually wandered over to check on things. I got about 5 feet away when I realized it was a doll. I left Baby Man in peace. He hung out around the bus station a lot. We'd get upset people coming up to employees "there's a homeless man who's kidnapped a baby!" and we'd explain no, it's just Baby Man and please leave him alone if he isn't bothering anyone. I also worked a stint in the snack bar and he would come inside in the summer and ask for a cup of water for his baby. We'd always give him one. The cops knew him too, and in a rare show of non-bastardness left him alone when they got complaints. They'd just check to make sure he was OK and go. Other characters included a guy in a wheelchair with one leg, who got around by pushing himself backwards. He had one of those tall pennant flags you'd attach to your bicycle in like the 70s, and wore an old-fashioned kicker's helmet with the single bar across the face. He also did not give a gently caress and would just go careening into intersections regardless of what color the light was, and a guy who wore a full Darth Vader helmet everywhere. So glad I live in the city, you don't see this kind of poo poo in the suburbs.

Milwaukee has The Milverine, who is often seen power-walking shirtless around town. He says he has no interest in ever leaving the city, and will haunt us all forever when he dies. (He’s not AUG himself — I envy the pure simplicity of his life — but the way people stalk him in town and the Vice documentary trying desperately to make him appeal to the Vice audience is p. aug.)

- In my town growing up, we used to have an old man who would ride his bike around and wave. Usually in either a Batman or baseball player outfit. - here in the town I’m in now, there’s a gang of alcoholics who just kind of exist and are colloquially known as The A Team. If you have a Mariestads…and no one else can finish it….and if you can find them in the middle of Fristadstorget hammered on a Thursday afternoon…maybe you can give it to…The A Team. - and where in work in Stockholm there’s a TON, including: Russel Brand Flasher Lotto man Opera man Screaming lady Small Michael Jackson Army of Street Preachers who don’t even bother trying with me And Ernesto Guerra who is actually a street artist! I’ve never seen him but I’ve seen his signs. The wiki is in Swedish, but in short, he has autism and schizophrenia. He puts up signs, usually of his name or a longer piece, to feel better. There’s a short documentary on him I’ve been meaning to watch. https://sv.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernesto_Guerra

Growing up we had Deadly Dave who was sure the government was after him. He used to chase me and my mates trying to hit us with tennis rackets because we didn't want to play a few sets. Then I grew up, went into the military and eventaully came back. Deadly Dave was still at it and was warey of me but knew I sold radios and set top boxes so thought I was in on getting the secret army transmissions out so would buy all sorts of poo poo from me to get the transmissions. We did gently caress with him a few times with that sending random old war-reel audio over channel 40 near his house.

Untreated mental health problems are pretty AUG. Used to know a welder in Vancouver in his 40s named Holice (sp?). Was work friends with my room-mate and was a totally functional member of society beyond thinking that the CIA was tracking him. The CIA would listen in on him with radio waves as he could sometimes hear the signals, what he described sounded very much like tinnitus to me and I was curious about it. He alluded to "things he'd done" in the past the justify the attention but never went into details. He told me the next time he was over that he couldn't discuss it again because if he did then the CIA hurt him with high power signals. He lived on a farm property on the outskirts of the city and had a lead lined basement apparently, he was convinced that all his neighbours were paid off to harass him which would lead to insane situations and also the local kids loving with him a bunch. He described one time how he was coming home and a neighbour was suspiciously close to his property. To teach him a lesson he wildly swerved his truck off the road and accelerated at him, making sure to wait until the last possible moment before swerving back.

There's the elusive Renate Bauer. She's a trained fine artist, and sells paintings in galleries sometimes. She's also been posting photocopied rants with drawings on poster boards around Stockholm city and Southern Stockholm since at least the early 90s. The text is largely illegible, but she sort of had a catchprase with "mongoloid schizoid fel i huvudet", but now it seems to be mostly about Covid and 5G and cops. Few pictures of her photocopy art online, this one is for ants.

I saw her once in at the library at Odenplan, in 1994 or so. She was making copies and underlining things with highlighter. It was like seeing something rare and shy, like a white moose.

There was a really cool man in my town who went by Reverend Larry Love who rollerbladed around in a Sergeant Pepper-style uniform. I still have some copies of his zine somewhere. He was not awkward, ugly, or gross, but he was distinctive and delightful.

The real AUG is the decaying weather stripping, missing licenses plate light and the multi ball hitch left on year round. Also they should have totally gone with “Clitford (clitchevy in their case I guess) the big red ho”
