AskMe: How to become an eccentric (or just look like one)
Merlin Mann | Jul 13 2006
Suggest eccentricities for me to adopt | Ask MetaFilter From a fun AskMe thread:
This reminds me of that stage where teenage girls randomly start to affect a terrible british accent, or when college freshmen suddenly stop wearing shoes and take up raw foods and the shakuhachi. Of course, this is not to say that I haven't had ideas of my own. ’Fess up: what was your goofiest affectation and what made you stop it? Clarification (2006-07-15 10:20:20): The "In my quest..." portion above is a quotation from the link that is referenced; it's not actually me asking for help to (God forbid) become more eccentric. This confused some people, and, well, I regret your confusion if you have any and hope this clarification helps. -- The Management 98 Comments

I do the t-shirt and shorts thing too... only wear pants for special occasions (funerals/weddings/etc), or as a halloween costume. I'm on my 11th year now I think haha! Its mainly for comfort. "When asked, he says the J is for ‘justice’." That is the coolest thing I've ever heard. I used to randomly give thumbs-up signs and loudly announce, "THUMBS UP... FOR JUSTICE!". I ain't that cool tho. Nowadays though, I just try to speak to people in a limited vocabulary consisting of variations of "I did/do/don't" and words with "man" in them (Mandalay Bay is a favorite). I like the black bars in pictures thing though. That sounds man. » POSTED IN:
