Terabith Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 The man who spends all summer walking around in a ninja outfit and carrying a big stick (usually with his arm extended fully from his body) is back! 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyoffive Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 You live in the craziest neighborhood. All I have are dogs fighting at 4am, neighbors who make it super hard to pull out of my driveway, and neighbors who party outside all summer.

barnwife Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 *checks forum guidelines* Yup, this is the kind of post that requires pictures. It's in the super teeny print in forum guidelines. You reaaaaalllllly have to squint to find it, but it's there. Also, how often does he walk? Is it purposeful (as in, picking children up from camp)? Do other ninjas ever join him? Questions, I have them. My neighborhood doesn't offer anything this interesting. We are the young family around here. There is another family with almost adult kids, but everyone else is older. 4 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faith-manor Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Your neighborhood is my personal, whacky sitcom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do other ninjas ever join him? Questions, I have them. My neighborhood doesn't offer anything this interesting. We are the young family around here. There is another family with almost adult kids, but everyone else is older. In the summer, he walks pretty much all day every day. Neighborhood is kind of a stretch. It's the main street that's just outside of our neighborhood. So, like, not my block, but like a five minute walk from my block? I am not sure that it is purposeful walking, but I'm not entirely sure that it's not. I actually think he might be homeless? Today he had a wagon with stuff in it that he dragged behind him with the other hand, but that's new. In previous years, he had a backpack. For a long time, I assumed he was an Appalachian Trail hiker, since we have an entrance just off that road, but then my kids pointed out that he couldn't be an AT hiker since he's always walking up and down the road. He has amazing arms though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocolate-chip chooky Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 In my pocket of our city, we have The Pumpkin Man. He walks the streets pushing a wagon of pumpkins. He's been doing this for a very very long time. I've been seeing him regularly for 15+ yrs. No idea where he sources his pumpkins, or where he's taking them, but he moves very purposefully. And goodness, he must be in great shape. A wagon of pumpkins up and down hills! Everyone knows of The Pumpkin Man. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 We have the "bushwhacker". He carries a big stick and whacks at bushes. I have no idea why. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmandaVT Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 We had American Flag Man at our old house. He would ride up and down our road on his lawnmower wearing nothing but American flag shorts and carrying a beer. For hours... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 We used to see a Samurai in Sedona. Black Samurai outfit, sword on his back. We’d see him everywhere, just all the time, he seemed to pop up. He lived at a campground, or so the local lore about him said. But, you know, Sedona … 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopmom Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 We have an American flag runner. He runs the whole town carrying a flag on a pole. He looks ex military- esque, but I don’t know the story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
