Ahhh the naked roller blading cowboy that plays guitar…
No I’m not kidding. Bonus points if you can name the city
Portland, OR?
Nah, Portland’s guy is the unipiper!
To far south, and a time zone over
Coeur d’Alene? Edit: just saw your name, I’m way off.
Calgary?
So fucking close. Next city you’d think of after Calgary
Edmonton then.
Ding ding ding! We have a winner
Austin used to have Leslie. He was frequently seen riding around Town Lake on his bike, sporting naught but his hot pants or brightly colored thong. RIP
What happened to Leslie?
Kitten Guy.
Dude was a little strange, but otherwise a good person. He just kept taking in strays, and if he had kittens in need, they went everywhere with him. Most of them ended up at new homes, but he had a few who stuck around. Wasn’t unusual for him to be feeding two or three kittens and have two more sitting on his shoulders.
It was an extremely small town, so he stuck out like a sore thumb. They went everywhere with him. Never caused any trouble.
Aww… I’m glad there are people like him, those kittens were probably doomed otherwise unless there was a local animal shelter and even then finding homes for animals tends to be difficult.
That’s awesome, sounds like a cool dude!
A bit strange… but yeah, if he isn’t doing any harm 🤷.
Ass-man of Szeged, in Hungarian ‘Szegedi Picsaember’. He wears very-very tight jean shorts. Even during winter.
Here is an article about him: https://444.hu/2013/05/03/holgyeink-es-uraink-a-szegedi-picsaember
Those are the tightest shorts I’ve ever seen. He does have amazing legs though.
He is pulling it off.
He gives dean from community energy
My hometown’s got the yellow man. Some random dude who’s wearing nothing but yellow clothes, riding a yellow bicycle around the place. I wonder what his favourite colour might be…
Does he by chance have a small, rather curious monkey with him?
I’m afraid I don’t know the reference. Care to explain?
Curious George’s “friend” is a dude who wears exclusively all yellow.
Brooklyn has artist Elizabeth Sweetheart, the Green Lady. I met her in the subway once and told her I’d seen her interview on Youtube, and it brought me joy to know of someone just loving a color so much and expressing it so fantastically. She gave me a hug :) Genuinely lovely human!
That’s very wholesome. Thank you for sharing.
Is it red?
Nymphia Wind was just practicing.
We have a yellow lady in Montréal.
I either live in the right part of the world, or the wrong part, because I’ve never seen this stuff.
IDK, we have a few legends like that around here, I presumed every place has at least one.
Pallet guy. Very few know his face, but we all know his tiny car and stack of 10 pallets on top speeding down the interstate.
Are you a trucker? Or is this a meme? If it’s the former, I’m impressed and worried that that’s common enough to be recognizable.

There is a man that wears chainmail armor made out of soda can pop tabs that is famous in both Tucson and Phoenix areas of Arizona. His name is Chicago, and you can catch him on the bus or at random punk and metal shows around AZ, if you are lucky.
F-ing A! Props to him, it’s a very unique look and most people can’t seem to work up the courage to do more than follow trends.
I had a dude who would dress up like Britney Spears, and he went by “Britney Girl-Dale”. I never interacted with him, but I had friends who did who said he was HELLA nice, but always high. Which lead me to defending him anytime my judgemental parents had anything nasty to say.
Unfortunately, last I heard he had “found Jesus” and went massively fundie/evangelical. 😮💨
My city has a bunch: The spoon lady, miniature horse guy, topless fat lady, the guy that rides his Harley around pulling a trailer with a pig in it, Johnny sax, blunt man, and guitar hero are all the ones I can think of off the top of my head. I live in a weird city.
You sure no one’s dropped some uranium in the vascinity or something?
Frankie! He’d stand on the street and clap at cars. He’d draw money and try to use it, too. Some places accepted the smaller bills because he was actually pretty good at it.
Did they accept them out of respect for his artistic skill, or were they genuinely fooled?
The former. They weren’t that good.

My city has The Walker, a very gentle man who walks everywhere, has long chopped hair and at one point (maybe still) wore a Power Puff Girl keychain as a necklace. Some say his family was killed in a car accident, hence the walking. We also had “The Silver Fox” legendary “Mullet Man” who creeped around all the local bars but died relatively recently.
If he lost a kid who liked that show, that certainly would explain it. His story sounds so sad, if true, I can’t imagine what that would be like…
Richmond had Dirtwoman (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donnie_Corker) until he passed away in 2017.
