Bush Man

The bush man of fisherman's wharf is one of the oddity items.

The guy sits on a small stool. Behind a piece of brush. Jumps out and startles people. Who then give him money.

What is odd? That he is not in jail? That he is there? That people give him money?

Being from the Bay Area I can say this: Nothing is at all strange about this scenario. We're talking about San Francisco, after all!

For some reason, I thought this thread was going to be about something else...

This guy may be gone from his "tree - branch and all" I certainly hope so. What a jerk!

There is that about it being San Francisco.

Sister Boom Boom (a guy) ran for the board of supervisors and lost on a city wide ballot by less than a hundred. As did another miscreant legally named Jesus Christ Satan.

The link to Boom Boom is http://www.lgbtran.org/Catalog.asp?T...KID=All&ID=118

Boom Boom was a member of a comedy act called the Sisters of perpetual indulgence. I heard him speak at a candidate night. He was the smartest of the bunch. Much better than Senator (Lady Di) Feinstein.

Then of course we had emperor Norton. Google Emperor Norton and all manner of links will come up. One thing :

He had two mongrel dogs. One named Lazarus died and 25 thousand attended the funeral. This was still in the 1800s and there were not all that many people in the city.

Lets face it - Must be the water or something in the air.

We are still a really fun place.

I am going to leave this one alone.

But did you notice the photo of the woman startled by him? Same link on the left in the thumbnails.

Maybe he could be used as a cure for the smoking habit.

Jumping out and scaring people is NOT funny. I wouldnt give him any money but I might give him a busted grille..

I may not have stated it, but I agree with you.

I do think that giving money to such a "talent" is encouraging such lame acts.

I think the old jackass may be mentally disturbed. But that doesnt give him an excuse for disturbing the peace of other people. He jumps out on an old country boy like me and he may wish that he was in jail, rather than the hospital!
