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 friend in high school was called the 'the Grand High Wizard' by everyone. Another friend and I were his disciples, and we would go around and bless things in his name, and continually pay homage to him. Whenever we said anything about him, we would raise our right hand and point up and say things like 'Ah, Yes' and 'Greetings' Had another friend that we called Butros Butros Julio Pedro Juan Ortega. his real name was Scott. for a while, i went by the name Psychic Commander Helio, the Undead Czar Dragon King of the Blaarg. » POSTED IN:
