Subject: Man Protests Girlfriend
Local interesting tidbit from my town:
Local man Ralph Zimmerman has had enough. You can currently find him marching around the --------- square. Don't think you can spot him? He is the only one in a cowboy hat, carrying a large stick with a big sign attached. Ralph's sign is huge and white, with the one simple word scribbled on it in bold black letters: "WOMEN".
"I have had enough. I am not going to wait anymore." Ralph's girlfriend of four years has refused to marry him, or entertain any ideas of marriage. "So, if she ain't gonna listen to me, I'm gonna march and I am going to yodel 'cause I ain't stopping until she says yes."
This is an excerpt of the story from our paper.
Ok, folks this guy is in his 60's, he has overalls, cowboy boots and hat, and is marching around our town square with a HUGE sign. Occasionally he sits on a bench and rests, and mostly he is just yodelling (sp?). Our closest television news station picked up the story and the anchor couldn't keep from cracking up when they were reporting it and showing this elderly gentleman yodeling.
I swear I am living in some alternate universe..... ;D
Who says romance is dead? :D

Sounds like something I would do, even if I weren't old and desperate ;D
I do hope she says "yes"...not just for his sake, but for the health of your eardrums ;)

Thank goodness I live across town and don't have to hear that. My best friend came by a while ago and said he isn't out there anymore so maybe his galpal said yes, or he had a heart attack. :o The poor guy, he has really gone out on a limb for her. He is going to take a lot of sh*t for her over this. He wasn't drunk, and he was peacefully protesting so the police are leaving him alone...yeah, all five of them, haha.

This made me laugh out loud! First I don't think we even have a "town square" here where I live (what the heck IS that anyway?). Second I'd be surprised if anyone here could even yodel. Thirdly, I cannot even think of the last time I saw someone in overalls, boots and a cowboy hat. This guy sounds weird enough to come join us in LA LOL!!

I live in the midwest, Carrilynn, and believe me there are many men walking around in overalls, and boots are basically the staple of footwear. I don't think everyone yodels, I sure don't know how.
The easiest way to explain a town square is if you have seen
Back To The Future, the town Marty lives in has a town square. It is a square block in the middle of town that usually houses the city building. ;D Rumor around town is that the little gal accepted his proposal....

This isn't romance, it's obsession. Ralph should just give up on this woman and the yodeling. The IPD would have carried this bozo to the Marion County lock-up by now. ::)
