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

My wife knew a German girl who kept a peach pit (stone) in her mouth at all times. The same one. All the time. Last we saw her she was on her third, having lost the previous two accidentally. I can't recall if she had swallowed them or spit them out by accident, but quite different eccentric, I believe. » POSTED IN:
