Boston's own Scooterdude to appear on Tokyo news show
Scooterdude, that guy you see sailing around Copley Square on a scooter and a sail made out of a plastic bag, reports a Tokyo news crew spent some time videoing him recently:
... Perfect weather, gusty winds, to catch the scooter-sailing on video and carry the images off to Japan. ...
Where'd Angry Running Guy go?
Callum Hanlon wonders what happened to the "angry gladiator-looking man" who would curse out anybody who dared look at him as he lumbered down Comm. Ave. by BU:
... I miss the way that you scream "Get the **** away from me," whenever I try to address you in any way, shape or form. I miss the way you wear those weights--especially that bullet-proof jacket looking thing--all over your extremely fit body ...

Morons can't leave poor Scooter Dude alone
He's the guy you see sailing around Copley Square on a skateboard with a plastic sail. He reports on his excursion late Saturday night:
I found it strange that there were more than the usual number of detractors and disbelievers, the ones who only have comments like, "Try getting a better sail! Ha!" or, "As if that's going to work, you idiot! You suck!"
I have a hard time understanding people who can so freely and readily speak out of ignorance.

Novel fundraising approach
Stand in Davis Square at 1 a.m. with a clipboard and yell at passersby: I AM NOT A CRIMINAL! I DO NOT HAVE ANY WEAPONS!"
A Spare Change Guy warning
He's not just some innocent, if annoying, crank, he's a scary and potentially violent sexual harasser, duffless2323 warns:
... I have personally been harrased by him on 2 different occasions, a few years apart. I also saw him say some very violent and sexually explicit things to another young woman who was by herself until I turned the corner, I then walked with her and he went back to the spare change routine. She was very relieved someone came along. ...
Also, he's discovered Somerville.
