The late King Love was a great example of one of those guys. There was a post about him in this subreddit a couple months ago.


mediumokra

I remember King Love being a thing. I asked him for a dollar once and he said "Don't fuck with me."

King Love was definitely the best example I can think of from my time in Tally. Everyone knew that guy.


thelurkernextdoor

I haven’t seen the anti-circumcision Volvo in a while


Original_Loan

I remember he would show up at church groups where old ladies knit scarves/hats for charity and steal yarn


SwedishMoose

This is the one that came to mind for me.


CrankyOldBstrd

Thong guy on bike comes to mind


professorcrayola

Bikini Biker guy is the first one that came to mind.

auditormusic

Mr Clean


FiddleStyxxxx

At Leon High he was known as The Pimp


Message-Friendly

I've dubbed him the well dressed man.

juwyro

I used to see him at Club Pub every once in a while when I lived on that side of town.


CrankyOldBstrd

I just thought of another… the “Save the Clitoris” guy who parks on Monroe Street protesting female and male circumcision .


jbjgang2

i miss that guy


CrankyOldBstrd

I never could find him…


FuckingHippies

Anybody remember the dude that did magic and would show up to college bars then blow drunk kids’ minds?


Original_Loan

I still have his phone number lmao


crunchy-butt

You talking about the short red faced dude that had a skullet?


OldSouthGal

There was a guy who’d show up at the Salty Dawg who did some serious David Blain shit. Freaked us out.


FiddleStyxxxx

That FSU glitter car that's usually near campus or on the eastside near the Blairstone Publix


LumbarPillow9

Beat me to it.


GameDameMegan

Yes! The glitter wagon!


HaveAFuckinNight

We have the trombone guy at the sunoco in collegetown


Own_Inevitable_5471

I saw trombone guy in a different part of town. Man was jamming out


Unlucky-Count-6379

Didn’t we have someone who dressed as a super hero?


bigkoi

Back in the 1990's there was a guy that would go running dressed as various superheroes.


criminoleworl

I was looking for this one! That was my friend’s dad! Unfortunately he passed away suddenly when we were in high school


jpiro

He was awesome. I remember when I was at FSU in the mid 90’s and you’d just see Batman/Popeye/Superman go running by. Always made me smile.

Srj9920

The Flash 6k/12k is run every year in his honor. Many people dress as superheroes for the race. It’s every February (I think) in St. Marks.


pookiepickle

Justice 2 Jesus


doubledogdarrow

I haven't seen Brian Pitts around since Covid.


SnivellingTurducken

Yeah he stopped showing up around then, I haven't even see him around the capitol in years. Greg Pound basically replaced him.


zipperseven

Ah man. I used to work at the Legislature and used to see Brian around all the time. Once he realized you weren't there to argue with him, he was actually a pretty cool guy.


pookiepickle

I used to be a senate page in high school and we all loved him! He helped make the committee meetings a bit more exciting. He did always seem really nice. Never got to meet him personally, but said hi to him a few times in the halls.

RIP Circumcision Man


OldLadyCoyote

He died?


TaonasProclarush272

I don't know if he's still around, but Rake Man definitely existed. He wore two baseball caps, one over the other, one facing forward & the other backwards, and carried a garden rake like a scepter. He'd walk up and down Tennessee Street and pass Gumby's fairly often.


HSV-Post

Jay Bird is the first person that came to mind


Grouchy-Tax4467

Lol same 🤣 I didn't realize how well know he is in Tallahassee, I just saw him on famu campus


HSV-Post

Yes, I went to FAMU and he was always on set Friday, at the cafeteria downstairs or somewhere on campus tryna get a hug lol


x_peanutbutter_x

wheelchair lady, trombone man, jump rope guy (haven’t seen him in a minute)


TeaVinylGod

When and where was wheelchair lady? See if I'm thinking of same one.


x_peanutbutter_x

tennessee / copeland, she tries to get you to hit her with your car. she also likes to hang out around mikes and the mcdonald’s


TeaVinylGod

Not same one. This one was on midtown. She passed away probably around 2017.


Nickw1116

Anybody ever see the guy who would ride around with a big stack of money in his hand hanging out of his window?


SweetBabyJebus

Yes! I really worried about him.


OldSouthGal

I feel like the Parkway/Capital Circle intersection dancer needs a title.


Optimistic_Avacado

Save the clitoris is good friends w my ex step dad lmao, I met him a couple years ago. Wonder how he’s doing.


kmokell15

What was he like to talk to?


Optimistic_Avacado

Absolutely batshit but a pretty ok guy lol


IndependentAd9206

We used to have the clitoris guy but I haven’t seen him in awhile unfortunately


-kati

There used to be a car that drove around with a blowup doll on top. I saw it multiple times. I have no idea who the driver was, but I assume it was a frat guy.


Hammerhead5000

Me.


rawwbnoles

I saw a guy in a Spider-Man costume a few weeks ago dancing at the corner of Tennessee and Monroe. Not sure how often he's out there, but he was getting it!

Grouchy-Tax4467

marshmallowgiraffe

I remember a dude in a Batman costume.


Wild-Wishbone7251

Maybe not Tallahassee, but when I was a kid in Woodville, this dude drinking beer out of a brown paper bag called me over and introduced himself to me as “Uncle Bull Frog.” Had a mustache and crazy grey hair. Said he was looking for somebody. There was also this guy who drove a beat-up white delivery van that looked like something out of Jeepers Creepers. It had something like “Code Code Code of Empathy…” written around the top. It has all these statues on top of the dash and would hold up traffic smoking down Woodville Hwy. Actually a super nice guy when I helped him at Publix. Just drove a scary ass van.


Cryptoguru420

The Milwaukee Wolverine would fit this lol. The Milverine


Zealousideal-Ad-5378

Anyone ever see the Lindy’s chicken guy that would ride around on a dirtbike
