Well, on our trip to homecoming we stopped for fuel in Troy, IL... and apparently someone woke up on the wrong side of their car. The result of doing said act is to render yourself crazy in the face. So we all sat in awe as he preached fire and brimstone to us and I happily recorded it.
We didn't either... You never feed a crazy face with counters or anything that might upset his hunger for conspiracy. So I managed a few "Right Ons" and left it at that. We told people at Homecoming about this dude, and ended up having to show them the camera footage to believe us. It's just... *sigh* no wonder people think we are crazy.
Moral of the story: Never wake up on the wrong side of the car.
Well, that same day, in Bloomington, IL we stopped at a BP station to link up with X1 and there was a hotel right across from it. As I was meeting up with Erick and taking a break we were AGAIN ambushed by yet another "Crazy Face". At first I thought he was a Papa Johns Pizza Delivery guy. He was holding a box of pizza and oddly walking between the hotel rooms and the gas station in a zig zag pattern. He approached us and we what we saw was yet another intense crazy face.
His first ramble was about Avril Lavigne and how he was her Father. I kinda brushed it off thinking... Oh great, here we go again. But he kept making these dive bomber passes by us and throwing comments out. Finally I engaged in conversation after he said "Those are nice bikes. You know, I'm American, and you Sir, look like a member of the Prussian Regal Army." My eyebrow twitched and he went back to explaining his blood connection with Avril, then lifted his sleeve and said... "Look, here's the proof!"
He exposed his right bicep and a horrible tat that read "A V R I L SUM '41"
Becca and I just kinda looked at each other, we should have got the camera but this guy was buzzing around back and forth like a loon. So I declared Thursday "International Let Your Crazy Faces Out For A Walk Day."
The worst part was that I had just left Misery thinking all the crazies were behind me. Boy was I wrong. Too bad I didn't get any footage of him, would have made a great compilation video.
Ya know, we debated about this. If you look he had some facial hair, but he was clean. He had clean clothes on, and didn't seem to be off his rocker, until he opened his mouth. I didn't want to explain to him that every person with me was military. And we had almost every branch covered save Navy and Coast Guard. That probably would have sent him over the top. So I managed a few "Right Ons" and left it at that.
I hope this brings everyone a laugh, share it with friends, and rate it so more people can see it!
This makes me homesick for Illinois, the crazies here in Michigan just don't have the same style. I have always said that I have a weirdo magnet and it never disappoints in good ole Illinois.

P.S. I was kinda waiting for him to bait everyone with "I know this cause I used to fly them, just ask some time I'll tell you the story that Buells can fly".....
