An oldie but a goodie

Cameron Park: A cautionary tale (June 2007)

Let me preface this by saying I love Cameron Park.

No, love is too weak a word for what I feel, I lurve Cameron Park (obscure Woody Allen reference). Unfortunately, Cameron Park is trying to spook the crap out of me.

A couple of weeks ago, on a puddled and damp Saturday morning, I wandered into the the park trails, only to be followed in by Creepy McGross guy. Creepy caught up with me and tried to carry on a conversation, using the very best of his broken English. Along the way, he removed his shirt and kept trying to grab my hand.

My creep radar was going off like a town-wide tornado siren, so I turned around to head out of the trails. And ol’ Creepy followed, pausing only once when he turned toward the bushes and said, “I make pee-pee now.”

I picked up the pace and tried to put some distance between us, to no avail. Creepy caught up and told me he needed a cell phone to call his sister because he had this problem, see?

Oh yes, I saw his problem. I really wish he would have kept his “problem” in his pants.

I took off, hopped in my car and found the park ranger and eventually gave a statement to the police. I guess I should have been scared, or felt lucky that was all that happened. But the truth is that I was amused (and humor is the way I deal with everything).

I don’t claim to know the psychology behind flashers, but, if you’re going to show yourself wouldn’t you talk up yourself, like “look how great I am”?

How lame do you have to be to expose yourself, while saying, “hey, my penis is diseased, I need some ointment.” Talk about having no game .

I’m just saying …

Did the cops ever arrest the perv?

As I understand it, the reaction flashers most desire is shock. If you’re feeling brave, laugh at how small it is to crush their ego. The warning on that is it can make some violent depending on where they are on the skeezy - violent scale.
