Chicago, IL-In his soft shuffle to the ever widening
aperture of madness, Roddy McDoubter, pulls from his encyclopedic knowledge of
old films to communicate in social situations. While attending the 'Flash
Mixer' at the Greater Chicago Rotary Club, McDoubter was seen conversing almost
entirely with movie quotes. As he approached a loose collection of likeminded
individuals, an anonymous member of the group asked him “How’s it going today?”
McDoubter retorted with “I’m the king of the world” to the wet slickness of
much eye rolling. Un-phased acquaintance
Marabella Ronches asked “How is your Mom? Is she still in the hospital?” The response
was not well received as McDoubter spoke in a poor cockney accent “Don’t bury me,
I’m not dead yet!” An uncomfortable and possibly psychotic laugh followed.
A psychiatrist and eavesdropping ‘Flash Mixer’ attendee
commented that he had never seen such behavior but likened the condition to a classic
social fallback. “Roddy may be using horribly clichéd movie lines as some may
use humor in a defense mechanism, but Roddy isn’t funny or entertaining. It’s
kinda just sad.” The unnamed psychiatrist
then grimaced as he heard McDoubter exclaim “You had me at hello.” McDoubter’s
face looked as if he as just eaten a sour candy or lemon.
Marabella Ronches stated later, after excusing herself from
the group McDoubder had parasitically attached, “When I first met McDoubter I
thought he was just a big movie buff.
Now that I think about it, he may have had a stroke or aneurysm
that, like, deleted all his conversational ability.”
One close friend to McDoubter said “I asked him about the
way he talked, and I told him he should see a doctor because what if he had a
condition or something.” The friend
looked around and an emotional moistness betrayed his visage. “He said ‘It’s
not a tuma, It’s not a tuma at all’ in this, like, horrible Austrian accent. I mean,
if he is gonna’ quote something does it have to be Kindergarten Cop.”
