Cute picture but Merriam-Webster seems to agree with Flyers999.

And yes, he is a Spanish Springs legend and icon. So is "Bob," and so are the couple who wear cowboy hats and matching outfits.

That's a gross misstatement of the facts.


The 4 or 5 times I've seen him, he was completely in a daze and unaware of anyone around him.

Another reason I rarely make the trip up to SS...

I'll go for the occasional show at the Sharon and dinner at Costa del Mar...

Mark is very intelligent, doesn't drink alcohol. He's high-functioning on the autism spectrum. A nice guy, full of energy and love, gives kick-ass hugs, and smells like patchouli.

Yuck!

So, mocking someone's medical condition is now cool?

True, but they should at least change the order they play them in! Let's see, if I go to the square when Rocky and the Elders are playing at 8:53:22 PM they will be playing the same song they played 6 years ago when we first heard them that night at 8:53:22 (+- 47 seconds) !!

The whole Rocky thing, baffles me. They're awful.

Marks a nice guy leave him alone.

I’m sure he’s a nice guy, but if he ever lets out one of his blood curdling screams unexpectedly right near you, you may not think his antics are so cute.

He may be a nice guy, but I prefer the paid entertainment.
