What? That's madder than being attacked by old ladies! What do they expect you to do? Fly?

Lordy.

Nero wore a toga, not a trenchcoat!

He scandalized Rome by going to Greece to recite poetry and act in plays.

I've had "What are you doing out, it's not Hallowe'en yet", which I found quite amusing

Nero as in Keanu Reeves in the Matrix films.
I don't think the bloke in question had a classical education.

But his name was not Nero. It was Neo.

Oooops!

Proves

a) It's been a while since I saw the film.
b) Loud rock music is bad for your hearing!

or

That I'm paranoid and only thought he was shouting Neo/Nero at me.

I can see the resemblance to Neo. That's not a bad thing to be called either. I'd say it's rather flattering.

Check the photo gallery for some musings in the "ring".

I can't think of a specifc insult (apart from the obvious like "goth" and "ooooh i love black" and "witch"), but the best reaction I've ever had was last Halloween when i was in the off licence. A young couple came in with a child who started screaming when he saw me and had to be taken outside by his father. His mother said "don't worry, she doesn't always look like that dear", the thing was I hadn't even dressed up for Halloween..........

Me too!
I've never understand how it's meant to be hurtful (except hurtful on my ears.)

I was wearing a black trenchcoat, which appears to have been enough!

Dancing 'round the funeral pyre playing a violin?

"Some people will do anything to get noticed".

Strange thread. Never got called anything really - might have to do with the fact I'm 6ft2 and look out of place anyway.

Isn't it funny how you picture people? I always imagined you to be a short arse..........Dunoo why. Oh well!!

Heh. Dutch are generally tall - too many dairy products.

Nope. Moved here 5 years ago - and never looked back.

Oh, well that's another cleared up.......cheers

Yeah, me too. But I've been around students most of my life so I probably don't look out of place. And the height definitely helps.

Oooh yes. These pint size nut jobbies dressing in crazy outfits. Whaddayado!

Why do some of them have to be so terribly, terribly loud?

WHEN spoken too please.

I recently moved from a big town to a tiny village where everybody knows everybody and the appearance of a new neighbour is quite a big event.
So I was hanging my newly washed Sisters T-shirt and some (black) underwear in the garden a few days ago, when a teenage neighbour saw me and said "WOW. You've got a pentagram on your t-shirt" and ran away. Then the next day as I was going down the road two kids whispered and giggled as they passed me.
And there's these coloured lenses I wear. And the homeless cats that come to my garden for food. And the (black) baby goat I picked as my pet. And the loud music with the weird howling vocals coming out of the car as I pull over by the shop. That, all added, plus the fact that I didn't go to the local church on Easter, resulted in a funny incident. 2 nights ago the old neglected shed near my house was on fire. It wasn't a huge fire, but big enough for the proper firefighter brigade to come with their equipment to put it out.
So, all the local residents gathered to watch the show and to talk about the possible causes. Everybody agreed that it must have been an arson, and amongst the voices I heard: "It must've been the new ones, apparently the music they listen to is called black metal and they worship Satan."

Should I laugh or cry?

I hope you haven't seen the Witchfinder General hangig out in town. I reckon you're likely to float......
