QOTD: The Freakiest Asian?

[atlasien]

This forum is dead, dead dead on East Coast daytime... I'm going to start a Question of the Day.

Who is the freakiest Asian (besides yourself) that you have ever met and why? The crazy, flipped-out, possible use of substances for recreational or non-recreational purposes, messed-up, "OMFG I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY JUST DID THAT" kind of person?

I have a good one, but I will only describe them after several other people chip in.

Kenneth Eng?

[aelward]

Someone I haven't met: Bai Ling.

I don't think I can compete with the first two answers. Those two are nutty.

I met an asian stunt guy that was a great guy, but scary drunk. He would dash off to do Jackie-Chan like feats. As far as i know, he's still alive. I would kill to have the guy's reflexes.

Everyone else here has heard of this guy, but not atlasien. Dude was called yellow_peril on this very forum, and he was the second-highest poster while he was here (second only to me, naturally). It was shortly after we first launched in 04, and he was on day and night (he apparently bought and sold stuff on eBay). Dude had a good heart, but was so damn negative it was crazy.

A few of us actually met up with him in Toronto one day, and I have never been in the presence of a guy like this: PERMANENT raincloud over his head. He wasn't even down about anything in particular that day, it was just the way he was. He had like all the 44 Founders with him, speedball, a Taiwanese Night Market, and the greatest Chinese community (Markham) on the continent. And the dude just couldn't smile, had no sense of humor, and brought everyone down around. Naturally, Tojo could relate to him like crazy.

Also, he revealed to us that he once lived in a crab shack in Kaoshiung, Taiwan, for three months, during which he developed was able to develop another reason for being angry: the white nightclub owners who came and exploited the populace for quick money and left. He also apparently once punched the wall while having sex with a white girl.

Crazy motherfucker!

OK here's mine.

I used to live in an apartment complex near a major university. In the apartment above mine lived a seriously deranged young Chinese-American guy.

Most people in the complex fell into two categories: 1) doctors or academics who were very busy and didn't have a lot of time to spend at home 2) completely dysfunctional screwups whose families bought them small apartments so they wouldn't end up living on the street. He belonged to category number 2. His mother owned the apartment. He was a student who'd been in college for about 8 years but was close to graduating.

The guy was big... average height but extremely beefy. My husband and I used to see him in the parking lot, chainsmoking, making loud hawking and spitting noises, and flexing his biceps so he could examine and admire them in the car side mirrors. That was really weird. We complained a lot because he used to play really loud R&B music late at night, and his bedroom was right above ours. We thought we had a compromise where he would turn off the music or use headphones after 11PM at night.

Well, one night after he'd been breaking that rule on and off we tried going to bed around 11:30 and noticed the music was still playing. It was the R Kelly Ignition song on automatic repeat. My husband went out to ask him to turn it off but the guy had gone out for the night, leaving his stereo on at full blast. After lying in bed listening to "IT'S THE FREAKIN WEEKEND BABY I'M ABOUT TO HAVE ME SOME FUN" over and over over again my husband went nuts and started talking about breaking down the door with a crowbar. I tried talking him out of it. About 1:00 in the morning the guy came back. My husband threw on a pair of jeans and rushed up the stairs, I was in my nightdress and I ran after him. He rushed at the guy yelling at him to turn the music off, and I noticed the guy's hands were shaking and he was making these weird facial grimaces and "yo yo yo" noises. I ran up the stairs, grabbed the back of my husband's jeans and pulled him back down the stairs yelling "DON'T ARGUE NOW, THE GUY IS TWEAKING" Then my husband got free and charged back up the stairs again, I dragged him down, after several repeats of this we all went into our respective apartments, the guy turned off the music and had a screaming, crying, hitting-the-walls hour-long phone call in Chinese instead, I assume with his mother.

I told my own mother about the incident and she said "welcome to a long life of dragging men off other men, ha ha."

Well the next night he came to our apartment and apologized. He had a long talk with us. I realized he was a lumbering man-child. He couldn't keep eye contact or any coherent conversation. He told us that his older brothers were doctors and lawyers but he never did anything right and was the screwup of the family, he was failing his classes, he was "taking a vacation" from his waiter job because they said he was drinking too much... he looked at one of my husband's records with amazement and asked if he could see little grooves on the records if he used a microscope, talked about the pyramids and the Bermuda triangle. The next day his mother and brother flew in and collected him and took him back to California, probably straight to rehab.

I think he did end up graduating eventually, I saw him a year later and although he was still soft in the head he was no longer so aggressively incoherent... if it wasn't for his mother that guy would be in big trouble! But he'll probably have a good life.

Crazy motherfucker!

LOL, what the?!!

Too funny.

I think there are more crazy CCBs than anything

[DONKEY]

HAHA that was a good story atlasien. the guy sounds like he needs some more positive friends. i got better by eliminating the negative friends from my life and making more positive friends. still a work in progress though..
i dont do crazy stuff so much anymore since i have a job and already on "thin ice"
the craziest Asian person i know right now is this Khmer friend of mine. he makes a living by trading things. gets on freecycle.org and picks up free stuff everywhere to sell it. when he's not doing that he is doing other kinds of business. we get along pretty good since he respects my property and i don't diss his lifestyle. he lives in the cheapest apartments in town, down the street from me. the thing that makes him crazy is his aggression. not really aggressive in a mean way, just aggressive all around. when he is happy he will make sure everybody knows it. same thing if he is sad, angry, whatever.. of course this leads to trouble and ive had to grab him quickly before to tell him that we "need to leave right now!!"
sometimes when we are out running around we stop in his brother's apt for a break and his brother is the total opposite. real clean apt, clean cut, clean gf, clean life, going to college etc.

The freakiest asian? This guy in my hall so far. I haven't met many freaky people. He runs around naked and steals things. The things he steals are things like really big ice cream tubs from the cafeteria and foldable tables. He stole a car hood once.
Apparently, he had gotten into a bit of a dorm war. It involved people mooning our hall, then he stripped naked and plastered himself aginast the glass doors of the other hall. Then, he ran away. Other than the nakedness, he just blatantly steals things.

No one is crazier than me. You can ask Cattygurl. She has met me.

[cattygurl]

Le, you're a superfreak wonder. :D
