On Wednesday, a crazy man interrupted a Sarasota, FL (always my home state!) city council meeting to expose Stephen King as “the worst criminal ever harbored by Florida” who is “scaring all the celebrities away from Sarasota.” Okay, yes, of course this is clearly a crazy man, but where do crazy men get such fascinatingly random conspiracy theories? And why is everyone picking on Stephen King?:

“He’s not suing me. My van says it all over the place.” Well, then! Poor “Uncle Stevie.” That millionaire can’t catch a break this week.

    Did anyone else get the “Knobs, Hinges, and More” ad before this played?

  2. yes. yes i did.

    and it made me want to go to there.

  3. Did a little research and apparently this guy also claims to have been held hostage in an S&M dungeon by the jonas brothers.

  4. um first of all, didn’t Mark Gormley put Florida on the map?? how much celebrity cache do you people need!? Here in Wisconsin, we’re excited just to say celebrities were BORN here…I’m sure you’ve all heard of Laura Ingalls Wilder? (take THAT steven king)

    Anyway Florida, stop being so greedy…maybe you should be more concerned with your crazy people cache!

  5. ‘where’s the show’? dude, you ARE the show. also: you just knew it was going to be great when he opened up with ‘do you have a projector screen.’ get this man to congress.

  6. I actually met this guy. He was making photocopies of his “Stephen King Killed John Lennon” pamphlet at a copy shop on 85th and Amsterdam in New York. I still have it.

  7. Did he just make a vague threat to set Florida on fire at the end (2:29-34)?

  8. It is weird that you are so open about your boyfriend’s issues, Lindsay. I would think you might want to keep this sort of thing between the two of you.

  9. He was telling the same story on the U.C. Berkeley campus in the 80′s. (I am old.) I thought he was mocking all the other earnest pamphleteers at the time…

  10. Gordons younger brother was never able to cope with his older brothers success

  11. I can’t believe they didn’t want to hear him out. You would think with all the boring business they listen to they’d want some crazy talk for a bit of a break.
    (great comments btw)

  12. Oh my. Why does all the crazy have to be in Florida? I’d like to move back there some day.
    Mark Gormley could heal this man’s brain and revive John Lennon with one soul-soothing ballad, but mankind is not ready yet…

  13. I love that he has a website.
    The internet is like the grocery store. Everyone goes there.
