i loled so hard hahaha lol
*Insert comment on how I don't like the music here. My opinion is THAT important!*
Also, that sounds like a fun waste of time. :P
Not recently, but once I was sitting outside in the smoking area outside of work, when this CLEARLY homeless man walks up, and sits on the bench across from me.
Anyway, he obviously had no business to be there, and someone needed to tell him to GTFO of store property, since he's scaring away customers who aren't hobos. But that person isn't me. I wasn't management, and had neither the authority nor the salary/wages to order possibly violent hobos to leave. Not worth it, not my job, so I just sat there finishing my cigarette, trying not to look at him.
So for a couple of minutes, I'm just trying to ignore him, and he's just sitting there across from me not saying anything. Then, out of nowhere, he says "I'm not funny".
And for about 7 seconds, I kept on ignoring him until I figured out how to reply. Then I figured that he was obviously talking to me (since there was no one else around) and that he might get mad if I continueto ignore him. And seeing as how I don't get paid enough or have the authority to anger hobos, I decided to acknowledge that he was speaking to me. So after about seven seconds of silence, I turned to him, and said, "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention. What was that you said?"
He then starts violently beating his fists on the bench and starts screaming "I'M NOT FUNNY! I'M NOT FUNNY!!"
Then he suddenly stopped acting belligerent, his eyes rolled back, and he totally just pissed in his pants.
At that point, I'm thinking, "okaaaay. The hell with my cigarette break, I'm out of here." So I just plain got up, and went back to work.
Anyway, about 4 hours later I went to take my second smoke break, thinking he was gone. But nope, he was still there, sitting in the exact same puddle of urine. Only now, he was holding a bag of Cheetos. Which implies one of two things. Either he sat in a puddle of piss for four ****ing hours and someone just happened to hand him a bag of Cheetos, or that he got up, went and got some Cheetos, and then decided to sit down in a puddle of his own urine.
Anyway, I've met my share of hobos in my lifetime, and most of them I can deal with. But this dude was CREEPY. On the list of the Top Five Creepiest Hobos I've Ever Met, this guy easily ranks at #2, at least. Definitely one of the top 3 contenders.
You might know this, but it's possible he suffers from a mental disability, and therefore acted strange.Not recently, but once I was sitting outside in the smoking area outside of work, when this CLEARLY homeless man walks up, and sits on the bench across from me.

Redneck? Nope not with a metal song. if it had been "Walk on By" he may be a redneck:lol:[QUOTE="hydralisk86"]You might know this, but it's possible he suffers from a mental disability, and therefore acted strange. MrGeezer
Yeah, no ****.
But how does that make his behavior any less disturbing?
Well, it would be more disturbing if it was a perfectly sane person making conscious, calculated choices to do all of that.
Nothing too crazy but a couple things that have happened in the last 2 months or so:
Saw an underage kid trying to purchase alcohol with a patently obvious fake ID in a chain supermarket. After the manager determined it was fake he tried to confiscate it and the kid grabbed the ID/beer and tried to run. The manager took off after him and tackled the kid and they ended up getting into a fistfight because the kid came up swinging. The kid was spitting rage and yelling about how his dad was a lawyer and he was going to sue. I started laughing from the stupidity of the kid and how spoiled teenagers always think that their father being a lawyer somehow is positive from a legal standpoint and allows them to get away with illegal or shady activity.
I ended up hanging out with these two crackheads after breaking up a scuffle at a strip club. I ended up trying to reform the one of the crackheads as a social experiment but he turned out to be a lunatic so I stopped taking his calls. A few weeks later I ran into him at a club and he headbutted me.
Was sitting at a blackjack table at the Borgata late on a Tuesday morning around 330 AM. Some drunk guy stumbles over to the table with his Mur Mur stamp on and was destroyed out of his mind on a combination of drugs/alcohol. He starts telling me how he got kicked out of Mur Mur earlier and now he can't find his friends because he lost his cell phone etc. He then asks me how rich I am even though I'm only betting $25 a circle because my buddy's in the room taking a shower and I have to kill 30 minutes. A minute later he pulls out a whole wad of cash and the dealer chips him out to around ~1100 and he puts it all in one circle. At this point the only other guy at the table has picked up and left because this guy is acting like a total wacko. Obviously the drunk dude puts the 1100 down in one shot and gets a 16 (I get an 18) and the dealer is showing a 2. The guy asks me whether or not he should hit or stay I tell him to stay because that is basic strategy. He tells me he has a bad feeling and he's going to "f***ing kill me" if he loses. He's a pretty big guy but we are in a casino and anything would be broken up quickly. The dealer flips two picture cards to bust and the guy goes crazy. Tips me $100 and the dealer $100 and gets up and leaves but slams into a cocktail waitress getting up and drinks fly everywhere. He's trying to tip her to make up for it but only has two pumpkins left so he can't really and walks away. I just gave the waitress the $100 he tipped me in the first place.
Wow, people are actually saying Pantera is bad? what has this world come to. that is pretty awesome, around here it's all a bunch of gigantic douchebags and society's waste rolling around in their riced out junkers playing HORRIFYING hip hop or club music. only a few (including meself) still love to blast old thrash metal out into EVERYWHEREGTR2addict
People see Pantera and think "god damn it they are responsible for all the nu metal bands" or "I hate groove metal" people. Or others just equate the band as a redneck band but then you are judging them on their fanbase.
They probably thought the song was too loud. :P And I can't think of a bizarre thing, atm.While circling around my little sister's kindergarten school. Everyone in the vicinity looked absolutely disturbed. :lol:

well, pantera in my books is a great band with an amazing drummer and a legendary guitarrist who primes in instrumentals, i don't look at the fans, i look at their music, and independently of what it spawned, it is awesome[QUOTE="MrGeezer"]Well, dammit...Now I need to know the story behind Creepy Hobo #1. Yeah that's what I was thinking. You can't just says that's only number 2 and then leave us hanging! Also nothing strange happens around here. Everything is ordinary all the time and nothing ever happens *crosses fingers*On the list of the Top Five Creepiest Hobos I've Ever Met, this guy easily ranks at #2, at least.

Especially The early 90's albums to me are fantastic. I too was surprised how many people disliked them but I understood their points and now it doesn't bother me. What does bother me is why Vinnie Paul is playing in Hell Yeah. That is a really sad band :lol: I'm happy that Rex and Phil are trying hard to make music that matters.
I would say rather that it was sad. and furthermore it sounds to me like he was suffering from (PTSD) Post Traumatic Stress Syndrom. What the previous generations called "shellshock" and there is nothing funny about that. I had friends who relived the war off and on in waking dreams much of their lives. Some of these "homeless" are vets and PTS sufferers and especially from the Vietnam era there were a goodly number that could never quite cope. Head injuries are frequent in veterans and not an obvious "disablilty" so they are hard to cover.There was a crazy vagrant I knew that used to think he was still in the army. He would have this busted radio and say "i'm going in" and run across the street making gun noises. Was hilarious.

The problem is soldiers of my country have never seen action since World War 2 unless of course that short coup could do that.

there are so many wars and "police actions" these days and in Kuwait/Iraq (I was at Kuwait in the first) both times there were many countries who were fighting with us as allies. It seemed natural to assume he could be a veteran...especially with "used to think he was still in the army" even without seeing action if he really had been in the military there is the possibility of an accident. If that is just a description of how he was acting then it it a moot point.[QUOTE="GTR2addict"]Wow, people are actually saying Pantera is bad? what has this world come to. that is pretty awesome, around here it's all a bunch of gigantic douchebags and society's waste rolling around in their riced out junkers playing HORRIFYING hip hop or club music. only a few (including meself) still love to blast old thrash metal out into EVERYWHERENifty_Shark

I don't think anyone associates Pantera with NuMetal in any way. How would that even be possible? They aren't groove metal either. :|Please Log In to post.
