Mentally ill is right.

These are the kind of people who go out onto public and then say, "What are you looking at?"

Everyone thinks they’re an expert yet most people don’t know what they’re talking about.

Have you checked the mirror lately, Mr. Mousepuke?

From the comments, I'd say someone needs a nap.

On a totally different note, of all the documentaries and articles I've ever seen on folks like this, the one thing that's always struck me as very oddest is how that Cat fellow is often wearing a tiger t-shirt in those documentaries ... no idea why but that makes me giggle - "Boy, it's a lucky thing that guy with the black & orange stripes and the whiskers and pointed teeth and claws and bifurcated lip had that tiger t-shirt on or I -never- would've picked up on the theme he was going for ... "

I personally know one of the above listed top ten. He is a friend, he is an incredibly stable individual, and he is doing what he loves to do. These folk at the least are doing what they want with their lives- perceived maybe as irresponsible sure...but *loving* it. Because you cannot understand it doesn't make their actions immediately wrong or something for you to be so rightious to judge. These reporters came to THEM to display - they did not seek them out for your attention.

Yet that is exactly what you do in the sentence right before that one. Make up your mind.

What is to say that the other people have no reason for what they have done? Just because you don't know their reason doesn't mean that they don't have a reason.

Attention seeking? Yeah, because there are no other, easier ways, to seek attention than to spend tousands of dollars, countless hours and quite a bit of pain and discomfort? Top Leppard who you mention for instance lives really remote and only really goes into society once a week or so to pick up groceries. That's attention seeking if I ever saw it, whoa!

Is it so hard to think before opening your mouth, or in this case pushing keys on your keyboard?

I've seen him in the theatre over town ("over town" means off the island), and the most notable thing about him was his groupies. There were about half a dozen semi-furries, with some sort of cat decoration:
ear headband, tail hanging from belt, painted face, etc. Dennis was like the head cat. It was very surreal, and kind of sad.

Far be it from me to judge what other people do, but it seems that the only one of the ten that has any sense is Julia Gnuse; she's at least got a reason behind getting tattooed.

One has to wonder whether the Leapord guy scampers about on all fours when nobody is around. I doubt it.
