  I’m guessing not only did he owe money, they took his private stash…That sucks!

  I get e-mails like that all the time (I work for an online newspaper). Its either the Feds, The CIA, Castro or the voice(s) in their head. Strange but amusing.

  Our Dog & Crazy People

  While Wifey and I were walking our one-eyed wonder-dog this morning at 7am in the cold and wet miserable darkness of Tuesday morning I realised something. Oh shit, I’m going to have to do this all winter. Up to now,…

  Thank you for posting this. I walked past it a few days ago and took a picture of it with my cell. Unfortunately it came out really blurry. This has got to be the most surreal act since “Kenneth, What’s the frequency?” Is there a story behind this?

  Any chance you have a picture of the first message that he put out? It implicated the feds in fllowing him around, sitting in his 98 Chevy and injecting him with a new chemical around his heart. Signed, of course, Willie Caldwell.

  I saw him yesterday - Willie Caldwell…he had a similar sign and was standing at the corner of State and Lake. I was waiting for a friend to have lunch at Potbelly’s. I walked over to this guy who was preparing to hang a sign around his neck and asked him for the time, he said he didn’t have it (in a nasty tone) and then said, “Look!” as he pointed to the Marshall Field’s Clock and said, “It’s five to twelve, ” and i thanked him and walked a couple paces away. Then he put the sign around his neck and i had asked him what the sign meant…here was the dialog:

  Me: Hi, what does that mean?

  WC: Maam, not in front of the sign, don’t stand in front of the sign…

  Me: I moved out of the way and asked, “What does it mean?”

  WC: Did you read it?

  Me: Yes

  WC: Well, if you don’t understand it that’s your problem.

  Me: But-

  WC: Maam, have a nice day…look it’s 12, you’re now running late.

  Me: You’re really mean.

  WC: I like your hair though…

  Me: Uh-uh - You’re really mean.

  And then my friend showed up and we went to eat.

  Jean, I’ve been walking past this guy for months and yesterday I also stopped to talk to him. It was about 9:00 pm, our discussion was brief:

  Me: I’ve been walking past you for months, what’s your story?

  WC: (Trying to look mean/hard) None of your business…

  Me: Well, you’re advertising, you’ve got a sign… you’re not trying to get attention?

  WC: (Still looking hard) Look man, you asked and I answered.

  Me: Fine, I don’t care then.

  Seems kind of odd to me… this guy’s been wearing sandwich boards since… I guess october at least, and it’s “None of my business.” Appearantly, it’s nobody’s business unless you’re working at Channel 7, which begs the question: why doesn’t he just write them a letter? Exactly what is he trying to accomplish?

  I’m going to carefully hassle him again next time I see him.
