"Setting a good example for children takes all the fun out of middle age." - William Feather
Speak of setting a good example.
I come from Flushing, NY. Known home to the 2nd largest Asian population in the country (I think. I remember reading that somewhere but I forgot where), It's bustling with authentic Chinese and Korean restaurants, shops, banks, and more.
But there's more to Flushing than just the Asians. No town would be complete without the town crazies. Flushing is the proud home of crazies such as:
Normally seen around Downtown Flushing, the Main St. Pimp can be seen strutting his stuff walking with the flyest matching clothes and brandishing his pimp cane. He is, however, broke off his ass and homeless.
Rumor has it he died recently. I actually cannot confirm this but if you or someone you know can confirm it and has evidence of this, let me know. Leave a comment or email me. I'll post it up.
The story of the Main St. Pimp goes a lot deeper than just a crazy man who kicks game to young girls, waves his cane at onlookers, and demands discounts on clothes in women's clothing stores. His story is one of the American Dream.
How? Think about it. This is a man who is broke as all hell, yet still manages to dress fly and clean (though he smells rancid). Spotless clothes, fly shoes, pimp hats (or turbans sometimes), and no pimp is complete without his pimp cane.
No other town loco gets the publicity this guy does. He's so weird everyone actually loves him. What other crazy do you know that people love to take pictures with?
Flushing is proud to be your home, Main St. Pimp. Now take a shower.

- the Nickel Man
- Crazy Joe (the Roosevelt Avenue crackhead)
- Big Bird (the local ugly hooker)
- the Crazy Parade Clown (complete with multicolored beard)
- and who could forget.. The Main St. Pimp aka The Flushing Pimp
