Not long ago, my boss's boss joined a decent-sized crowd of people who deem me eccentric. I'd like to know why other FReepers are considered idiosyncratic (if you don't mind sharing).

[B4Ranch]

Eccentric doesn't fit you Darlin'. Determined and cute is what you are. I'm just determined. LOL

[SCalGal]

I qualify.... I have a 4 wheel drive in the city and know how to use it.... and I talk to myself while I drive (radio broke about 60,000 miles ago).

[Revolting cat!]

NO, seriously (at last), I have always thought it was spelled etcentric and that is where the etc came from?! Any English professors or experts out there? (Well, Latin or Greek scholars might do!)

Look at my profile and tell me if people don't think I'm eccentric...

[DouglasKC]

I'm a Federal government employee. Okay, there are two million of us, so that's not too unusual. I'm a diehard conservative, but so are millions of others. Hardly qualifies as unusual.

I would think that this combination would do it..

I am a conservative, white, Theravada Buddhist who's from West Texas. Actually I am THE conservative, white, Theravada Buddhist from West Texas. And that's just for starters.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I'm paranoiac
And why are you staring at me like that?

[Snow Bunny]

LOL.....heh heh ha ha ho ho...........

And I thought you were eccentric because you're a conservative and you LOOOOVE New Mexico. I lived in Las Vegas; couldn't make it a year. It wasn't that I was worried about hantavirus and the plague (much), It was when someone said in a bar,"We kicked your a$$ at the Alamo!" that I knew it was time to go back to Texas.

And why are you staring at me like that?

We've never seen that shade of red before...

[Dixielander]

No, I'm not eccentric; just neurotic, inflexible, pedantic and intolerant. Examples follow.

I don't shop at stores such as Albertson's and Walgreens that broadcast obnoxious vocal "music". If I must get gas at a station that airs that junk "music" I wear headphones while I pump gas.

I believe with all my heart that the Clintons are evil.

DemocRATS disgust me.

Hey, do they sell hockey jerseys for that Satan player? If so, I want one!

[MissAmericanPie]

Am I eccentric? Naw, these combat boots are a fashion statement.

Frankly, I have no idea why, but they tell me it has been clinically documented in a court of law by a couple of total fools.

If you are rich, you are eccentric. If not, you're crazy.

Aw, spit! You beat me to it!

Are you eccentric?

No, but that's what the voices in my power outlets keep asking, and it's pi$$ing me off.

You have to buy a bunch of extension cords, Sabe. You plug one end into an outlet, and the other one into the single (uncoupled) end of another one. You have to make sure that there are NO loose ends; otherwise the voices will get out. The only downside, is that all the unreleased voices might overheat your wires. Using some surge protectors should protect you against that danger.
