- Hugging Guy often shows up at ["Woodstock's Pizza"] where he does his normal rounds of hugs around the joint.. Does he ever buy anything? I see him eating but I think it's just the hug-ees feeding him. Quite a few people I know have played air hockey with him in the ["MU Games Area"] on numerous occasions. Oh man, and during ["Picnic Day Battle Of The Bands"] 2005, he was the jitteriest dude at ["Lake Spafford"].. dancin while hugging... oodles of fun! -["BenjaminCatabas"] - This is mean.

- "Huggy Bear"'s real name is Tharren (sp?). I went to high school with him at JFK in Sacramento. He just turned 30 years old. I have heard (not verified) that his condition is due to severe physical abuse as a child. He is actually very friendly, although he does seem to hug girls more than guys. Hmm, maybe smarter than he seems. Anyhow, don't mind the hugging. Just tell him you love him and it will make him happier than you can imagine. --["JeffSpeckles"]	+ "Huggy Bear"'s real name is Tharren (sp?). I went to high school with him at JFK in Sacramento.

- He's definitely smarter than he seems, he has a fantastic memory too! I promised him cupcakes for his birthday and he held me to it, reminding me just about every day until his birthday. Plus whenever I see him at the pub, he'll grab a random guy standing next to me and tell him to "buy the lady a drink!", so he knows what's up! Sometimes the hugs last a little too long but all in all, Tharren's fun and totally nice, I'm glad everyone else has nothing but nice things to say as well. -["IzzaSwiech"] - "promised him cupcakes for his birthday."?

- Tharren is totally radical. I used to run Karaoke at G Street and he'd come in every Monday to sing some songs. I can't remember which ones were his favorite except one - Night Shift by The Commodores. He'd ask me to sing with him and we'd tear the place up.

He once stayed at our place on 3rd street, because as you may have guessed he doesnt have a home in davis. He does have a place to stay at some sort of 'half-way home' in sacramento but he purposely misses his bus and to stay in Davis and hangout with all the college kids. Often he sleeps on the street. Indeed he is 'harmless' as you have stated however, dont buy the man a drink, he dosent need one! And for the record, he is better than you think at Karaoke and has a legit 3-point shot!

Plus whenever I see him at the pub, he'll grab a random guy standing next to me and tell him to "buy the lady a drink!", so he knows what's up! Sometimes the hugs last a little too long but all in all, Tharren's fun and totally nice, I'm glad everyone else has nothing but nice things to say as well.	+ He's definitely smarter than he seems, he has a fantastic memory too!

I have heard (not verified) that his condition is due to severe physical abuse as a child. He is actually very friendly, although he does seem to hug girls more than guys. Hmm, maybe smarter than he seems. Anyhow, don't mind the hugging. Just tell him you love him and it will make him happier than you can imagine. (JeffSpeckles)
