	+ ------ + ''2009-10-05 21:15:20'' [[nbsp]] Is Walking Man the same guy as the one I'm talking about? I don't think so? He always hangs out in the Art Lounge (every time I've gone except maybe at odd night times, he's been there), wears a black jacket (although I'm pretty sure I've never seen him with cowboy boots or a cowboy hat on), has a liter of soda, and has sudoku or puzzles or the newspaper with him? I think sometimes he goes through the garbage for food. The last time I saw him he was cutting things out (coupons?) and kept muttering "damnit. Damnit!" --["Users/AlisaKim"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-07-30 17:58:37'' [[nbsp]] Maybe Walking Man (2005 comments) is the guy I know as Stomping Man, who lived for a long time at the Motel 6 in south Davis after he was evicted from Cambridge Glen. Long, stringy grey-brown hair, all black clothes. Kicks dogs and mutters nasty things to women and children. His raison d'etre is stomping around town muttering and kicking. Saw him out stomping in Woodland once, too - that man does love to stomp around. --["Users/calvin2"]

However, it's not quite a "resident of Davis", but more a role played by a ["RobRoy" person] who is a resident. Would ["Joe Sherman" Mr. Herman] count? He's not a real person (like the KKK), but rather a part played by a local person as a satire (again, like the KKK). I am not against the idea of roles and personas up there - I just think that the person should be linked directly (see ["The Homeless Professor"] for an example - it now links directly to him). How's the modification I made up above seem to you?'' -- ["JabberWokky"] - * ''Re Criteria for this Page: Perhaps this page could be combined with Davis Mount Rushmore to create a "Who's Who" in Davis.

Town characters should be regulars that one will probably see if one walks through the streets or on campus. Interesting people if you get my meaning. Mysterious people, like visor lady. --["GeorgeLewis"] - ------ - Well - the Davis Baby for Peace might not just be a one time thing, unfortunately. I've heard that there is an epidemic of bullying and racial prejudice at the Davis high schools and junior highs. If there's another incident of vandalism or harassment, the Davis Baby could well show up again. I'd recommend that people here read Agnes Johnson's book Failing our Children - it deals with these issues. Perhaps the cultural groups on our campus could reach out somehow to the high schools. And the baby takes away the stigma of this page to an extent - there's nothing disgraceful about being a sweet little child. Aww. -- ["CristinaDeptula"] - ------ - ''2005-04-21 01:38:44'' [[nbsp]] I think we should organize a protest for the baby's right not to be used as an unwitting political tool.

Some people just ARE characters, whereas others are playing occassional roles. I think the latter should be a bigger deal in order to count, but I think both are valid. --["JaimeRaba"] - * I agree. That sounds like a good idea. --["GeorgeLewis"] - ------ - [[nbsp]] How about a page for moon-shine man? He walks around baskin robbins and starbucks while carrying a bottle of what appears to be alcohol. He stumbles around and talks to people.

The aggie's mentioned it countless of times, he's quoted in it a reasonable amount, the Hypertext mag did a column about it, his name props up a lot. And a lot of people know the name. I'm sure facebook also helps. Once you see him, you'll always notice him. His hairs pretty distinctive alone, but the most distinctive feature that makes him stand out even more then his pseudo-celebrity status is camera he always has slung around a shoulder hanging off his back. I've seen (more then just a few times) people actually whisper and point him out, especially if he's outside the CoHo bakery in the MU. I do think this local celeb counts as a town character. In addition, I think Rob Roy counts as a character without the Ku Klux Clown thing. I never heard of that until I saw the page here, but I did know Rob from the Pirate Ship, word of mouth, Delta, Ben & Jerrys, his run for senate, robot media, etc. He's very well known for a number of reasons. --["EdwinSaada"] - Oh, okay, I see now.

The aggie's mentioned it countless of times, he's quoted in it a reasonable amount, the Hypertext mag did a column about it, his name props up a lot. And a lot of people know the name. I'm sure facebook also helps. Once you see him, you'll always notice him. His hairs pretty distinctive alone, but the most distinctive feature that makes him stand out even more then his pseudo-celebrity status is camera he always has slung around a shoulder hanging off his back. I've seen (more then just a few times) people actually whisper and point him out, especially if he's outside the CoHo bakery in the MU. I do think this local celeb counts as a town character. In addition, I think Rob Roy counts as a character without the Ku Klux Clown thing. I never heard of that until I saw the page here, but I did know Rob from the Pirate Ship, word of mouth, Delta, Ben & Jerrys, his run for senate, robot media, etc. He's very well known for a number of reasons. --["EdwinSaada"]

I don't think he has a job. I've seen him walking by Albertsons, South Davis Safeway, University Mall. He always wears a black shirt, cowboy boots and cowboy hat. He's tall and thin and proably about 60. I don't think this is the same person as moon-shine man, as Walking Man never appears drunk.

	+ + Well - the Davis Baby for Peace might not just be a one time thing, unfortunately. I've heard that there is an epidemic of bullying and racial prejudice at the Davis high schools and junior highs. If there's another incident of vandalism or harassment, the Davis Baby could well show up again. I'd recommend that people here read Agnes Johnson's book Failing our Children - it deals with these issues. Perhaps the cultural groups on our campus could reach out somehow to the high schools. And the baby takes away the stigma of this page to an extent - there's nothing disgraceful about being a sweet little child. Aww. -- ["CristinaDeptula"]
