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.

[Celtjew Libertarian]

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....

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

A Freeper and an eccentric. Go to the head of the class.

[DainBramage]

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.

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

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 won’t sit by me at Rotary because I want to talk term limits.

Just love being ODD, though my children hate it.

[FITZ]

Isn't being called eccentric a compliment?

[Alberta's Child]

Rintense posts a Daily Dose of President Bush every day. Try to explain that to someone in a typical workplace.

I, on the other hand, am completely normal. Except that I get out of bed before the crack of dawn as much as possible to spend two hours on in-line skates shooting hockey pucks at an outdoor rink near my home.

LOL!

[IronJack]

Are you eccentric?

No, we're schizophrenic.
Speak for yourself.
Oh, here we go again. Nag, nag, nag.

[Revolting cat!]

I used to be ex-entric, but I'm not any more.

>I'd like to know why other FReepers are considered idiosyncratic

Sidney: You're CRAZY, both of you!

Stu: Actually we prefer the term “PSYCHOTIC.”

I also post a photo on my profile page of a hockey player named Clymer getting the crap beat out of him. That just about does it, I guess.

[Brian Allen]

I'm dead-set nuts. Does that help?

[Ditter]

Yes, I'm odd. I am not impressed with material things. I hate new clothes, I avoid large gatherings but somehow I seem to have a lot of friends. But my BEST friends have hair & 4 legs. I have been married to the same man for 44 years (thats really strange). I paint pictures of other peoples dogs & cats & refuse to take any money for it (its a labor of love). I spend alot of time at a place called Freerepublic. I am VERY happy with my life.

This reminds me:

suicide right on stage,
would it be enough for your teenage lust,
would it help to ease the pain? Ease your brain?"

Like a boxcar full of camshafts, buddy!

[EODGUY]

Warrior Princess, just thinking about this from a phonetic pronounciation standpoint, is an eccentric actually a former centric???

Do you have to be a centric prior to becoming an eccentric?

WOW, the question you posed on this thread is a tough one......at least there's no math involved.:-)
