Slog - Comments on Beware the Eyeball Man http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/beware_the_eyeball_man This week's Last Days features the following item: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23 In lighter news, today brings a report of "a little weirdness at Southcenter Mall" courtesy of Hot Tipper Desiree: "I was on the lower level, buckling my little girl into her stroller when a woman walked by, pointed her finger at a man, and yelled 'Stay away from me!' The man was just standing there, seemingly unaware of why the woman was freaking out. Then he turned to me and said, 'She must have seen me do this a couple weeks ago,' after which he placed his pinkies...

Do I have the balls to try that? I think I do. I'm going to try it. Hmmm. No. I don't have the balls to try that.

She ended up being okay, but it scared the shit out of all of us for a few days.

I'm no eye doctor, but I'm pretty sure this is a bad idea.

I had to get an injection of steroids in my eyeball. But, the thing is, your eyeball doesn't absorb all the fluid right away, so there was this large bubble of fluid hanging off the eyeball and resting on my lower lid. It looked like my eyeball was liquifying and oozing out of the socket. I actually couldn't close my eye. Fun times...

I was walking downtown and this dude came up to me and asked me if I knew if there was a drug store around. I looked at him and one of his eyeballs was all poking out like that and with big red veins around the edges. I was so freaked out I was just like 'uh, yeah, there's a Rite Aid that way...' To this day I've been seriously disturbed by that. I would feel a LOT better if I knew it was just some sort of joke. Maybe I'll just tell myself it was the same Eyeball Man.

Then he used it as a level to pop his eye out and back in repeatedly.

A fucking spork.

She was my childhood boogeyman...I saw someone do this on TV a few years ago and literally shrieked out loud. Embarassing. I don't know *what* I'd do if I actually saw it in person! No good, no good.

He was out walking his pug, and the guy came up to him and said, "I can look like your dog!" and popped his eyes out. Ugh.

Guess he's got a built-in Halloween costume...

He came up to us and said "Have you ever seen someone do this?" before putting his fingers behind his eyeballs. He got super excited when we didn't freak out and stood there for a few minutes repeating the show.

It was close to closing and I was so tired that I didn't react at all. I was just like "So, no Americano, then?"

Is this the same guy? Is that his schtick?

He'll come into our store and do this to customers. It's gross but also hilarious.
