    Weird Periphery People

    There's a guy who rides his bike around the neighborhood my school is in. He wears a complete Army Ranger uniform he must have gotten from a surplus store, complete with a beret. He also duct-tapes the ankles of his pants to keep them from getting caught in the bike chain. He stops in at least once a month to watch class for about 5 minutes, then takes off. I call him Captain and he seems to like that.

    One side of my school is all open windows. In the summer, a lot of guys train with no shirts. There's a creepy guy who lives in the apts behind us. He used to stop and rub his nipples while watching people work out, but I asked him to leave, so now he just walks past about 20 times a night and sort of nonchalantly gets an eyefull.

    There is a gymnastics studio in the next building. One of the moms (fat) always parks in front of my school while her kids are in gymnastics and pretends not to watch us for an hour.

    In all seriousness, there are some bat sh**it crazy a**ss sick mofos in this world. Just make sure none of these "idiots" are dangerous or pose a threat to anyone in your school.

    paranoia, they destroy ya

    As I've mentioned before, I do some work in psychiatric emergency response. There are several fellow responders that we refer to as 'psych magnets'. They just seem to attract weird.

    Maybe you're a psych magnet, MK. That would explain a lot of things.

    Been there and done that as an EMT here in MA as well as being the same thing as a Bouncer.

    Have met some characters over the years.
    Mouth Boxers have not the testicular nor the spinal fortitude to be known.
    Hence they hide rather than be known as adults.

    That made me laugh for some reason.

    Reminds me of how in Big Bang Theory they call that one guy at the comic store "Captain sweat pants."

    Invite him in and have an advanced student beat the crap out of him, video tape the fight plus dragging the body out the back door ...

    Oh wait, someone did that already.

    I think Martial Arts are a "psych magnet" in general, and Kung-Fu especially.
    They like the weapons, fancy uniforms, mysterious animal forms, chi-gung,"sparklies," etc. It seems to attract not only "artistic types," but Trekkies, Ren Fairies,and Larpers.

    MK, I'll go you one better;
    This guy has been coming into my school every few years since I opened (1985-6)
    Fat black dude...about 6' 300 lbs or so..kinda slovenly.
    Anyway, he claims to have studied "Sha-lin Kong Foo from a monk," can't pronounce his name (he sez) mind you, this is way before guys like Shi Yan Ming et al, came to the US.
    Another year he comes in and says he learned Ninjitsu from Frank Dux.
    All the time he never realizes that I recognize him, and see through his bullsh1t stories.
    He always asks me what rank he'd be in my school. I always tell him, white belt.

    Takes all kinds.

    You could have capitalized on the nipple rubber though.
    As in, you could charge him for the peep show!
    Kung Fu is good for you.
