I thought it was interesting.

I was in the car with my dad and sister. We were heading downtown(I live in Toronto) and we saw this person walking with a sign that said "Repent The End Is Near".

It just made me think of Walter with his "The End Is Nigh" sign.

Have any of you ever seen anyone with a similar kind of sign?

Why yes, they're called Jehovah's Witnesses. In NYC they do it in a much more fashionable way though, by handing out postcard-sized pamphlets and papers that APPEAR to be Christian or some deviation, but in fact when you read it, you realize what it really is.

No, but I had to take the Rorschach test for a job. And yes, I did say "a pretty butterfly", although when the shrink asked if I knew about the test beforehand, I lied, and even say "I heard there is some movie with superheroes and stuff, and one of those guys is named Rorschach. That's it" or something along those lines. Yeah, I know, but I had to appear normal guy or something.

Btw, I did get the job =D.

I think the correct word was denomination.

We get a lot of crazy hobos on the public transits to the college I go to. This one guy kept telling us to get out of his house and then asked me for a cigarette. I quickly moved to the back of the bus. I no like creepy hobos...

Deviation works there.

Judging by your avatar, you're probably this guy.

Or this oddly gentlemen looking type who for some reason also rides a horse. I guess crazy people had much more pinash back in the day.

That is a pretty snazzy scarf he has on.

Joking aside, I'm pretty sure I've seen the guy Raine Summerfly is talking about. I do recall often seeing a grim looking man with a big picket sign, with a bunch of doomsday speak, religious quotes, etc. It was probably him. Just one of the local characters you come across in the city.

Like Zanta:

Maybe he was the monster shouter.
