I'm a big fan of the word 'retarded'.

Not in a derogatory make-fun-of-the-mentally-challenged 'retarded'.

More along the lines of the French word 'retard', meaning 'delayed' or 'lateness'.

Basically, something that is odd, or full of nonsense.

But I read somewhere on some blog the term 'touched in the head', and I love it.

I think I will begin using this term when discussing people who aren't playing with a full deck.

Like crazy needs-to-peel-off-stickers-on-the-bus guy, who occasionally rides my route.

I think he's touched in the head.

For the entire bus ride, he will sit there and completely pull off the announcement stickers, and then work dilligently to re-apply the sticker, and lovingly push all the air bubbles out.

The thing is, everytime he rides I say to myself, 'remember to sit in the back of the bus next time he rides'.

The problem is, he rides so infrequently, that it's not until his sticker fetish is underway, do I remember him.

People are freaks.
