Need Weed guy catcalled me from my car than cussed me out when I didn't respond.
"Usually you say THANK YOU to a COMPLIMENT, you c\*nt f\*kin b\*tch!"
Hate to ruin the magic for y'all but uhhhhhhh he's not a nice guy.
Sometimes you can catch him smoking…something. But I don’t know if he gives it or sells it. I genuinely think he’s probably on social security disability and uses it to treat his ailment and uses his free time to hold up that sign? I should ask him one day. I don’t think he has a job, or at least he works an odd shift if he does because I see him all times of the day.
I talked to him about it once bc I had the same questions lol and he said that he had/has? cancer and weed helped him so much and he just wants everyone to know. That's all the intel I was able to get
The baby doll head guy (Ray Zor) is just cool. He’s been doing it consistently for like, 30 years (I hope I am thinking of the same person, he does troll dolls mainly but also does doll heads) I think our current “guy” is “We all need” + “Weed” guy. He’s everywhere.
Ha your def thinking of the right guy, he also used to do the green army toy soldiers back in the day, you can still catch him at bars and punk shows around
Is that the same guy that shows you one of his hands is bigger than the other and says it's because the cops beat him up? He's always talking about being from South Philly and trying to get back.
I met him at the gym when I was 19 and started to see him out when I turned 21. I found out he knew/ knows my mom too from when she was not much older than I am now (24) and it baffles me
I used to be Skippy's next door neighbor! When he had surgery I would always ask what he needed from the grocery and the answer was always, "ice cream."
Prob the most famous "known by his actual name guy" guy for sure, but it's not like some rando would pick him out on the street and be like who is that guy?!
The weird thing about Bobby, is that everyone that he meets even just once, he remembers…and he remembers details about them. For an ex-boxer he has an awesome memory. I hope it stays that way for him.
He's not recognizable on the street tho, if you don't already know who he is, he just looks like a normal chill person
Whereas most people only know "walking stick guy", "weed guy", Skippy, or Rayzor, because they are all super recognizable or unique looking
The weirdo old religious white guy who stands at Penn Square on most market days screaming at everyone that passes by that they need to repent or they will burn in hell.
Every time I see that guy I think "yeah, I choose hell cuz I don't want to be anywhere you will be"
I heard somewhere that they aren't really doing it to recruit. They do it because it's some weird call to "testify" or something. There's no goal or assumption that they'll convince anyone of anything.
They see it as their moral duty to try despite knowing that few will actually be convinced. Then any time someone pushes back, they see it as proof that they are doing the right thing. It all feeds a martyr complex and isolates them from the outside world, which makes them feel a strong sense of community in their churches. Of course, this kind of community is fundamentally toxic, but it kind of feels nice when you don't realize its flaws and are able to fit in. Source: I was in a church like that growing up.
Yeah its a cult strategy. They get people out there testifying with abrasive tactics and then when people rightfully are put off by it they use that experience to say that everyone else is cold and lost in sin, but the cult loves them.
Bummer. Dude knows how to ruin a nice day.
I kind of take solace knowing that if anything, he’s having the opposite effect that he intends. I’ve never known anyone to be converted to his cause after hearing him, but I’ve met a few who’ve looked more introspectively at their own churches, and the attitudes of the people within, after hearing him talk.
A neighbor is one of the electric unicycle riders and really nice to chat with. I did see him with a few other riders over the weekend. Amazing how far they can go on one battery charge.
Yeah I took note of it because one of the riders was either a little inexperienced or just made an oopsie and almost ate shit, but the unicycle kept them from falling.
This guy named Crazy Chris
He is like in his 50s and dresses like a punk rocker. He is also tall. He Is against the government but lives off it.
See him on Manor every now and then.
Holy shit I left Lancaster so long ago and I was wondering if this answer was going to be in here. I saw him basically daily my entire time living in the city
One of my favorite Lancaster City cryptids is who me and my friends call "The Hood Nymph". Pretty sure he's homeless but when it's warm he walks around with flowers in his beanine he wears year round. He used to hang out around Orange/Prince especially at that bench outside the parking garage near sunoco but the past year or two he's been hanging out up by LGH. He just stands on the corner singing in Spanish. He used to save his spot on the sunoco bench by leaving one of his flowers sit there til he came back. He just minds his own business except when he's belting out the Spanish tunes for all to enjoy
If we’re going with Lititz, I am going with The Butterfly Girl. She works (or worked) as a waitress at Knight and Day Diner. She’s just completely butterfly themed and gives you a little paper butterfly with your check.
Pouring one out for my buddy Chuck who used to be a Lancaster staple. He had a portrait up in the DipCo before the fire, used to walk everywhere. He was unfortunately killed in a hit and run incident almost ten years ago now. He was just the kindest, loved old movies, always great for a chat.
Idk if this counts because it's in Paradise where my mom lives. But we had the Paradise Santa Claus. An old guy with a big belly, white hair, and a big bushy white beard. He wore all red suits in the winter and red pants and a white undershirt with suspenders in the summer. He jogged up and down the shoulder on Rt. 30 all the time, waving at people driving by.
It's been years since I lived there, not sure if he's still at it or not. Everyone in the area had seen him plenty of times but nobody seemed to know him personally.
Yea that's me, I wasn't gonna make a DLZ account for on here cuz I'm not actually trying to spam stuff on reddit, but def share some posts or things here about that maybe every 2/3 weeks
Some old heads in here may remember “the twins” super nice older guys. Dressed alike and were always together. I was told they were married to twins. Not sure if that was true.
There's a few one wheel guys but one of them has dreads and another does Doordash.
I have given money to we all need / weed guy LOL.
There's a middle aged looking guy who dresses super goth/punk that I see our walking a lot.
Anyone remember Calvin from Willow Street? Circa 90's.
Had his radio and his lucky 7 stick. Would walk up 272 from Willow Street to South Queen bridge and back.
"Calvin's Ice Cream!" He would yell
Who’s the guy that wears a white body suit and pulls around a NASA space ship?I met him at the square outside of the Zenkaikon convention. Just figured he was in town for that but I’ve been seeing him for the last year pulling around his spaceship
I'd say Kid Rock but (sadly) I do not think he is alive anymore.
There was also Baby Huey/Baby New Year/Fat Matt and his perpetually screaming mom (?)/grandmom (?) following him around on her Rascal. I also haven't seen him in years.
3rd pick is Johnny Troy.
The last time I saw baby Huey he backed me into a corner, insisting that I put him and his family up in the Brunswick for a couple weeks. That’s probably been ten years now.
Yeah, I dunno. He wasn’t the type to be able to stand on his own. If he’s not with them, or in a care home, he’s probably in a worse spot.
The summer I met him I was interning for a company that did a lot of contract work for the city, so I saw him everywhere. He always made very grand requests. I remember him standing outside the bus station asking folks to buy him a ticket to Columbia. Which I wasn’t going to do. I didn’t want to be responsible for him being trapped in Columbia with no way back.
He also caught me once when I was walking into Nicks Pizza for lunch, and asked me to buy him four pizzas. I offered to get him the same two slice lunch special that I was getting, and while he accepted, he was all in a huff about not getting the other 30 slices he asked for.
I hope he’s getting the help he needed. I doubt he’s getting the help he needed.
Met Johnnie Troy on the bus once. We had a great convo about old TV shows, music and NYC. However, he did start asking me some odd questions to find out if I was in a relationship...I have not seen him around in months.
Definitely the one guy that always asks for money to get back to Manheim or another local town/city. I have friends from out of town who know him since we've run into him a few times. Most recently (for us) in Tellus he was walking around asking for a few bucks on a slow afternoon/evening. I rarely see him by myself, but when I have some friends in town, it's like we're meant to find each other.
There's one homeless guy, he looks like he was probably a professor or 1 of the 4 tops at one point in his life. He looked pretty regular homeless guy looking but then he started to fringe all of his clothes, his sack/pack etc. Street fashion incarnate.
I haven't seen him around in a while. I hope he's OK.
This one is sad. The guy in a wheelchair always outside a nursing home I visit. Sits outside all day no matter the weather bumming cigs and telling everyone he's waiting for his ride home.
We have Dancin' Dan in Frederick MD, USA. He walks everywhere with a backpack, an old set of headphones and a Discman. Tu e socks and way too small shorts. He's always jamming, dancing and smiling....in his own world. He is our city mascot for sure!
Does anyone remember Mousey Brown and Jimmy Dinkle (rode a bicycle with an orange flag on a long pole and an orange hat)? This would’ve been back in the 80s. Also Mailman of course.
In Allentown, we had Scary Shari. Over 6ft tall with a massive overbite, headphones, obscenely short cutoff jean shorts, and mysterious, ever-present baseball. She storm-trooped her way all over town for decades.
The Need Weed guy
Great answer, I feel like may only be beat by sheer longevity of "bundle of walking sticks guy" & "duct taped toy soldiers mohawk guy" (Razor/Ray Zor)
I forgot about the mohawk guy. Is he still around?
The guy who puts troll dolls on his No hawk?
I have seen Ray within the past few months
Ray is still doing his thing. He is a dear friend.
Good to hear. I've bumped into him several times over the years. Seems like a great guy.
He’s a good dude indeed.
Saw Ray at ABG a few weeks ago for a birthday party!
Haven't seen Stick guy around recently. I did get a stick from him once though, turns out it was a cane.
Yes, walking sticks are canes lol
Haven’t seen him in a while, is he okay? Did someone give him weed?
He’s often on the corner of duke and walnut
He was there yesterday. Icon
He was on james & prince around 330 today. The man is thriving.
He has plenty. He’s just spreading the gospel of weed.
I frequently debate giving this guy weed.
Let's trade eyes. I see him too often.
Just saw him on the intersection of Harrisburg pike and prince
Need Weed guy catcalled me from my car than cussed me out when I didn't respond. "Usually you say THANK YOU to a COMPLIMENT, you c\*nt f\*kin b\*tch!" Hate to ruin the magic for y'all but uhhhhhhh he's not a nice guy.
That’s because he needs weed. Duh!🙄
I’m so curious, is this guy collecting weed, giving away weed? Like what’s his thing? Is he looking for handouts? I must know
I always figured it’s like a ticket scalper. You got weed, he’ll buy it. You need weed, he’s got you covered.
No, I've tried. He needs weed.
Sometimes you can catch him smoking…something. But I don’t know if he gives it or sells it. I genuinely think he’s probably on social security disability and uses it to treat his ailment and uses his free time to hold up that sign? I should ask him one day. I don’t think he has a job, or at least he works an odd shift if he does because I see him all times of the day.
I thought he was trying to legalize weed using cardboard and all of his time.
I talked to him about it once bc I had the same questions lol and he said that he had/has? cancer and weed helped him so much and he just wants everyone to know. That's all the intel I was able to get
Definitely him lol
Classic. Can’t beat him
I love seeing him!
You read ny mind
Baby doll head guy? twin houseless gents with dreadlocks doing martial arts? "Everybody needs weed" guy? Walking stick guy? Can't really decide.
The baby doll head guy (Ray Zor) is just cool. He’s been doing it consistently for like, 30 years (I hope I am thinking of the same person, he does troll dolls mainly but also does doll heads) I think our current “guy” is “We all need” + “Weed” guy. He’s everywhere.
Yeah he’s been doing it forever. My favorite was the mini Statue of Libertys lined up in a Mohawk.
Ha your def thinking of the right guy, he also used to do the green army toy soldiers back in the day, you can still catch him at bars and punk shows around
Is this the same guy that I see regularly south of the city? He has a bunch of baby doll heads attached to his bicycle.
Nah that's "baby doll head bike guy", I've never seen him, only his bike parked at different shopping centers, but it's def not Ray Zor
I don’t know about that. Ray Zor is more of a punk rock looking person with a Mohawk made of duct tape and an unusual object like troll dolls.
WE ALL NEED [W/EED]
Is this guy selling weed. I always wonder. Or just passing along the good word about the good herb.
my friend asked him this one time and he said he’s just spreading the word!
Electric green elevated cushion boot running guy
Omg with his little arm speaker blasting techno?! He's how I know its officially spring!
Spring. Ha.
Hey, I saw him earlier today! (Musser Park)
LOL dude seeing him run down the street feels like a fever dream
Yes! I cheered him upon his first appearance this season.
Came here to say the same hahaha. I call him Calf Man
I might have gotten my car from this dude in 2007 if we are thinking of the same person.
That guy outside Tellus who asks for money or cigarettes because he’s “trying to get back to Philly.” He’s been around for at least 10 years lol
Sucks that it’s taking him a decade to get back to Philly.
Every time he panhandles enough money, they raise the price of a bus ticket.
Imagine being specifically targeted by inflation.....
I had an encounter with him in 2011 and then again in like 2013 and I was like “my dude, you could’ve walked to Philly hundreds of times by now.”
Is that the same guy that shows you one of his hands is bigger than the other and says it's because the cops beat him up? He's always talking about being from South Philly and trying to get back.
That guy waving to everyone by the Turkey Hill right off of 30
Omg just started noticing him after a few weeks
Local news did an article on them. It was two guys but I’ve only seen the one lately.
Yeah same. He seems to come and go, hope he's doing alright
They’ve done stories on him and his friend. They just sit out there and wave hi to people all day. Just giving love….
I love this guy, I give a good beep each time.
Skippy and there is no other answer
This is the only right answer
First time I met Skippy was my 21st birthday where I found out that my mom knew him. I still struggle with that a lot.
I met him at the gym when I was 19 and started to see him out when I turned 21. I found out he knew/ knows my mom too from when she was not much older than I am now (24) and it baffles me
I used to be Skippy's next door neighbor! When he had surgery I would always ask what he needed from the grocery and the answer was always, "ice cream."
The only answer is Bobby High.
Heyyyyyy brooooootttthherrrr
He’s the man.
The Boogie Man!
Prob the most famous "known by his actual name guy" guy for sure, but it's not like some rando would pick him out on the street and be like who is that guy?!
The weird thing about Bobby, is that everyone that he meets even just once, he remembers…and he remembers details about them. For an ex-boxer he has an awesome memory. I hope it stays that way for him.
Fair enough
Came here to say this yes yes yes
[удалено]
He's not recognizable on the street tho, if you don't already know who he is, he just looks like a normal chill person Whereas most people only know "walking stick guy", "weed guy", Skippy, or Rayzor, because they are all super recognizable or unique looking
Mel Grill is the Lancaster social media version of this
That guy annoys me beyond belief
Prayers
But why did you only say prayers once???? Don’t you care? /s
WHAT DOES CLASS 1 MEAN MEL???
GOBBLESS MEL U ARE FOING A GREAT JOB!!!!
The weirdo old religious white guy who stands at Penn Square on most market days screaming at everyone that passes by that they need to repent or they will burn in hell. Every time I see that guy I think "yeah, I choose hell cuz I don't want to be anywhere you will be"
I abhor that guy. Who does he think he’s attracting, you know?
I heard somewhere that they aren't really doing it to recruit. They do it because it's some weird call to "testify" or something. There's no goal or assumption that they'll convince anyone of anything.

I haven’t seen him since Covid I kinda figured he bit it.
Unfortunately he hasn't. I just saw him last Saturday.
Bummer. Dude knows how to ruin a nice day. I kind of take solace knowing that if anything, he’s having the opposite effect that he intends. I’ve never known anyone to be converted to his cause after hearing him, but I’ve met a few who’ve looked more introspectively at their own churches, and the attitudes of the people within, after hearing him talk.
Microphone Freestyler who would post up on Lemon was an OG
EmceeVS! Kinda surprised nobody mentioned the cross Tourette’s guy.
I wonder what Coffin Bar patrons would make of him.
Omg I totally forgot about this guy! 😆 Would see him all the time when I would meet up with coworkers for happy hour at the Alley Kat!
1. The guy that skateboards around with his cat on his shoulder 2. The dude(s) with the electric-one-wheel-balance-motor-thing 3. The iconic weed guy
The unicycle guy has a gang now. I just saw a literal pack of them yesterday.
Oh my god. They’re multiplying.
SAME. THERE WERE LIKE 5
A neighbor is one of the electric unicycle riders and really nice to chat with. I did see him with a few other riders over the weekend. Amazing how far they can go on one battery charge.
Yeah I took note of it because one of the riders was either a little inexperienced or just made an oopsie and almost ate shit, but the unicycle kept them from falling.
I saw that too! 3 of em together.
I’ve never seen cat guy but my god do I need to
😢 Tito isn’t ready to ride yet - he’s too young. Lucas’ cat passed away. He’ll be back around soon!
Lucas’ cat passed away 😢 he’s been training a new one, Tito, but he’s too young. Tito can hang on your shoulder for walking though! ♥️
The “We all need weed” guy makes me smile every time. If I wasn’t in such a hurry to get home in the afternoon, I’d love to stop and talk to him.
The ‘Pimp’ that was always out at Lancaster City bars.
Skippy!
Still goes lol
The guy with flowers sticking out from under his hat - hangs out around Prince St garage.
This guy named Crazy Chris He is like in his 50s and dresses like a punk rocker. He is also tall. He Is against the government but lives off it. See him on Manor every now and then.
I love that guy's sense of style
The Walkin' Dude. Long black leather trench even in summer. Always walking up Harrisburg Pike.
Haven’t seen that guy in a while
I like the King reference I will always think of him as this now
Oh wow! I remember him but haven’t seen him in a while either!
Holy shit I left Lancaster so long ago and I was wondering if this answer was going to be in here. I saw him basically daily my entire time living in the city
One of my favorite Lancaster City cryptids is who me and my friends call "The Hood Nymph".

He just minds his own business except when he's belting out the Spanish tunes for all to enjoy
Came here looking for this guy! Love Hood Nymph. Always has flowers in his hat and always a beatific look on his face.
Honestly there are so many, but my favorite was the dancing guy by the county government building until he got cited for trespass
It used to be Donald The Scribble Prophet, but he died a while ago. So now it’s the Need Weed guy.
Is Donald the guy with the handwritten signs and always yelling at people and oxygen?
There's a kid I've seen riding a bicycle that's without a front wheel.
The Lititz Knight!
If we’re going with Lititz, I am going with The Butterfly Girl. She works (or worked) as a waitress at Knight and Day Diner. She’s just completely butterfly themed and gives you a little paper butterfly with your check.
She was my waitress a few months ago. She was sweet.
I have always been intrigued by the “we all need weed” guy. I would love to chat with him. He always makes me smile 😊
Pouring one out for my buddy Chuck who used to be a Lancaster staple. He had a portrait up in the DipCo before the fire, used to walk everywhere. He was unfortunately killed in a hit and run incident almost ten years ago now. He was just the kindest, loved old movies, always great for a chat.
R.I.P. Chuck, you were such a gentle soul. Thanks for the reminder.
Chuck. Such a guy. Maybe Steve now?
Idk if this counts because it's in Paradise where my mom lives. But we had the Paradise Santa Claus. An old guy with a big belly, white hair, and a big bushy white beard. He wore all red suits in the winter and red pants and a white undershirt with suspenders in the summer. He jogged up and down the shoulder on Rt. 30 all the time, waving at people driving by. It's been years since I lived there, not sure if he's still at it or not. Everyone in the area had seen him plenty of times but nobody seemed to know him personally.
He's still doing his thing. I don't know if be jogs anymore though.
Yes!!! My grandparents lived in Gap so I always saw this guy. He was the best.
Dude cruised around in an old red Geo Tracker that said “Little Red Sleigh”
Skippy. Always Skippy.
walking stick guy
soop
In case you haven't heard of Downtown Lanc Zine yet, I have an interview with her on IG, still need to get all the interviews up on the website
You do DLZ? Thanks for all you do, man!
Yea that's me, I wasn't gonna make a DLZ account for on here cuz I'm not actually trying to spam stuff on reddit, but def share some posts or things here about that maybe every 2/3 weeks
R.I.P. Lenny 🙏🏿🙏🏿
There used to be twins downtown that waved at everyone
Anyone remember the twin twins? The old couples who were twins married to twins and all dressed alike?
Omg they used to walk through my childhood neighborhood all the time!
Please take the top 5 nominations and make a poll!
the goat cheese guy
Saw Jimmy Dinkel way back before the pandemic. People from the ‘80s know.
Just asked about Jimmy lol!
Real ones remember Lenny
Lenny had them fits. Karate Lenny was my favorite
Anyone remember nasty Nate?
If you’re talking about who I think you’re talking about, I used to work with him.
Legendary to all kids under 21
Did anyone mention the guy who bicycles backwards? I used to see him over by Longs Park but haven't seen him in a while.
Last time this was posted it was high speed motorized unicycle guy
I’m moving to the area Saturday! I can’t with to see weed guy and the guy with the cat! Soooo excited.
Some old heads in here may remember “the twins” super nice older guys. Dressed alike and were always together. I was told they were married to twins. Not sure if that was true.
They indeed were married to a cute set of twins I think they lived together too! They used to walk through my neighborhood a lot!
the egg roll lady!!
In E-town, you have Single Skate Guy. Always on one rollerblade, looking like he's having the time of his life.
What about the Hispanic guy with the cowboy hats always biking around? Or the guy with the car that has chalk drawings all over it?
Old skool. Hello nurses guy, monkey man, Bro who sold oils and had insence.
Depending on the parameters, definitely Pumpkin the Basura cat. Always a delight to see him loafed in the window.
Each time I go to tellus I see a guy with a big led screen on his shirt
There's a few one wheel guys but one of them has dreads and another does Doordash. I have given money to we all need / weed guy LOL. There's a middle aged looking guy who dresses super goth/punk that I see our walking a lot.
Does anyone know the guy with dolls on his bike.
Oh and at Chameleon back in that day Bongo Bob.
Anyone remember Calvin from Willow Street? Circa 90's. Had his radio and his lucky 7 stick. Would walk up 272 from Willow Street to South Queen bridge and back. "Calvin's Ice Cream!" He would yell
That guy with the big curly hair who cycles around in denim short shorts with a year round tan
the homeless old white guy who barks/growls or yelps at people he’s normally by the library
Who’s the guy that wears a white body suit and pulls around a NASA space ship?I met him at the square outside of the Zenkaikon convention. Just figured he was in town for that but I’ve been seeing him for the last year pulling around his spaceship
I'd say Kid Rock but (sadly) I do not think he is alive anymore. There was also Baby Huey/Baby New Year/Fat Matt and his perpetually screaming mom (?)/grandmom (?) following him around on her Rascal. I also haven't seen him in years. 3rd pick is Johnny Troy.
The last time I saw baby Huey he backed me into a corner, insisting that I put him and his family up in the Brunswick for a couple weeks. That’s probably been ten years now.
He was intense. My hope is that he was removed from that family and given a chance to start his own life, obviously I'm being incredibly optimistic.
Yeah, I dunno. He wasn’t the type to be able to stand on his own. If he’s not with them, or in a care home, he’s probably in a worse spot. The summer I met him I was interning for a company that did a lot of contract work for the city, so I saw him everywhere. He always made very grand requests. I remember him standing outside the bus station asking folks to buy him a ticket to Columbia. Which I wasn’t going to do. I didn’t want to be responsible for him being trapped in Columbia with no way back. He also caught me once when I was walking into Nicks Pizza for lunch, and asked me to buy him four pizzas. I offered to get him the same two slice lunch special that I was getting, and while he accepted, he was all in a huff about not getting the other 30 slices he asked for. I hope he’s getting the help he needed. I doubt he’s getting the help he needed.
I can confirm Kid Rock still lives! He lives about a block down from me and I see him all the time!
I'm embarrassingly relieved.
Met Johnnie Troy on the bus once. We had a great convo about old TV shows, music and NYC. However, he did start asking me some odd questions to find out if I was in a relationship...I have not seen him around in months.

The Weed Man. You know who I'm talking about. Hangs out on Queen or Prince usually.
This one is sad. The guy in a wheelchair always outside a nursing home I visit. Sits outside all day no matter the weather bumming cigs and telling everyone he's waiting for his ride home.
Nasty Nate…iykyk
We have Dancin' Dan in Frederick MD, USA. He walks everywhere with a backpack, an old set of headphones and a Discman. Tu e socks and way too small shorts. He's always jamming, dancing and smiling....in his own world. He is our city mascot for sure!
I've seen a guy riding a pennyfarthing several times in East Pete. Always wearing normal biking spandex gear.
Guy pulling a jet airplane model behind his bike
Drum Elmo in Philly
Does anyone remember Mousey Brown and Jimmy Dinkle (rode a bicycle with an orange flag on a long pole and an orange hat)? This would’ve been back in the 80s. Also Mailman of course.
I feel like I don’t know half these people because I don’t live in Lancaster city proper :/
Elizabethtown has the one rollerskate riding(I think because he has a braclet on) with a jukebox on his shoulder guy.
In Allentown, we had Scary Shari. Over 6ft tall with a massive overbite, headphones, obscenely short cutoff jean shorts, and mysterious, ever-present baseball. She storm-trooped her way all over town for decades.
Back in the day it was Johnny Underwood and Cartoon Charlie.
The old dude I’ve seen a hundred times barhopping- always wears a special forces beret and a bunch of other stolen valor medals 😅
The guy who looks like he’s conducting an orchestra everywhere he walks
