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).

No. I'm normal. Everyone else is f**ked up. Never been a better reason for living on more than 2 1/2 acres, surrounded by trees, on top of a hill, next to large lots, in a big house that has everything, so I don't have to be with those kind of people.

Eccentric and proud of it! Of course, I think that all normal people are eccentric. Anyone who thinks that being eccentric is bad is trying to hide their eccentricies so that others will like them.

.....it's because you swim against the tide. Unlike so many other sleeping sheeple.

To the consternation of many, I frequently forget to remove my tinfoil hat when leaving home.
My old truck seems to embarass some in my family who wish I would spring for something newer. I won't.
The tune of the different drummer frequently irritates those dwelling deep in their aquisitive ruts. VRWC is me. It is several other freepers and I have come to call them friends.

Are you eccentric?
No, but that's what the voices in my power outlets keep asking, and it's pi$$ing me off.
To: Tumbleweed_Connection
Sounds great!!!!
To: ZOOKER
So I guess my answer is NO.If you don't think you are, just remember your mother and my mother are both mothers.

Um... I spend a lot of my time posting to various on-line discussion forums.... And that's 98% of my social life.
Let's see... what else?
I'm a Jewish Republican.
I wear my hair short and my beard long.
I listen to Celtic rock'n'reel.... And I also like bagpipes....
I occasionally howl. (That's OK; so does my father.)
Two words: I filk. Some prefer the howling.
I consume vast quantities of caffeine, sometimes chain-drinking Mountain Dew Code Red
I'm trying to get a novel published. (I don't consider that eccentric, but apparently some do.)
I haven't figured this one out though... I was a complete social outcast in H.S. I'm basically the same person, but my teenaged daughter and her group consider me one of the cool parents.... OK, so I raised no objection when she wanted to die her hair blue for Halloween and have none with regard to her wanting to keep in that way... I drink Code Red.... But I still try to make sure she studies....

Ahem.................lefties getting to you, eh??

I rarely wear underwear, but when I do it is usually something interesting.

Get those child-proofing plugs...it will muffle them (the voices) to where you won't notice. It worked for me.

Hey Xena....baby.....you
are eccentric. You go to conventions dressed like a warrior princess
and beat up men who call you sugar lips. My boss just says I'm an idiot, so you could have it worse.
To: 1 FELLOW FREEPER
I heard Rush today describing these morons bitching about people smoking in their homes 5 houses down the street! Nothing like being able to walk out in the back yard and fart.
To: Celtjew Libertarian
Oh, yeah... One more. I write 15-line responses in threads where other people are taking only 1-2 lines.
And I talk to myself.
To: BADJOE
It was clocking you at 40 mph on a Connecticut Avenue sidewalk (while sitting perfectly erect in your chair) that did it for me.
(P.S. Be certain the Moderators know I wasn't blowing smoke ... you'll see what I mean in a few days ... =)

My biggest problem is with politicians, they seem to hate direct questions especially when you insist on straight answers. I have noticed that they seem to cringe when I come to Q&A type meetings. One school board member will not speak to me because I pointed out she lied on her resume. My state rep (Texas-26; R) is upset because I asked why he is running for a 5th term when he swore he would only serve 4. Congressman DeLay wont sit by me at Rotary because I want to talk term limits.
Just love being ODD, though my children hate it.
