There’s nothing like a shovel and a coleman lantern to get the neighbors talking.

1. I do grow vegetables, though not in large quantities.
2. I live alone and yet have more than one computer in my house, and they are all networked together.
3. Not all of those computers run Windows.
4. I play with trains.
5. I find fixing beat-up old trains I got from eBay more fun than running trains.
6. I don’t even seem to care all that much if those trains look very real.
7. I come and go at all hours of the day and night. (That’s part of my job so I can’t help it, but it still looks weird.)
8. I root for the Kansas City Royals even though I live in St. Louis.
9. I actually put BBQ sauce on my BBQ.

In St. Louis, I think #8 and #9 are more than enough to put me over the top.

If you want to have credibility as "weird", you’ve got to do things people think are weird. One that REALLY qualifies you is to grow your own vegetables. Don’t ask me "why", or when it became regarded as weird, it just is. Seems to me that as a landholder with endless water "on tap", literally, having a vegetable garden and maybe fruit trees is natural; but then people think I’m weird too.

Oh, yes, you need rabbits and poultry too, but you can work up to that. Although just post-easter would probably be a good time to pick up some surplus stock from an animal shelter.
