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 used to buy white slip-on shoes so I could paint random abstract patterns on them. I got lots of attention from people that way. Why did I stop? I don't know. I guess you can't wear them in a wearhouse to work. BTW, if you do it, use acrylic paint. I also do the only white t-shirt thing. It allows for cheap shirts and you don't have to spend time choosing in the morning. And you can just throw them out when they shrink. » POSTED IN:
