Perhaps You Might Try Stamp Collecting Next Time

Without skiing or bike racing as an outlet, he took to exposing himself in public. He is very matter-of-fact about it. “It’s the possibility of being caught or discovered, the thrill of doing something crazy,” Hoyt says, comparing the feeling to one he had many years ago, when he was skiing Utah’s Little Cottonwood Canyon and abruptly veered from the trail, flying off a 40-foot cliff for no reason. “I’ve raced motorcycles, raced bicycles, skied competitively. I’ve hit trees at 60 miles an hour. Been run over by a motorcycle. I’ve broken arms, broken my leg, tore cartilage in my knee.”

From “Onan the Vegetarian,” a piece on raw-foodist, breathatarian and subway pervert Dan Hoyt, caught in the act on a cell-phone camera and splashed (sorry) across the cover of the Daily News.

The Holla Back NYC team asks you to mark your calendars for April 18, when our boy will be sentenced for public lewdness.

I always thought the most disturbing thing about the photo was his right instep being curled up away from the floor, presumably as a result of his quadricep being tense with excitement/exertion.

Not surprisingly, Hoyt himself disapproves of such tactics. In his account, the perpetrator is Nguyen, who misread his intentions (he claims he was already mid-masturbation when she stepped onto the train) and then humiliated him by posting his picture on the Web.

*plays tiny violin for Hoyt*

Well of course! When we step onto trains or into other public areas, we must be diligent to not disturb those in engaged in the private pursuit of sexual pleasure. I mean, its a near orgy on the subway haven’t you noticed?

There is something very wrong with this guy. I mean, very wrong. Not only the public masturbation, but the other dangerous thrill-seeking. The matter-of-fact way he talks about breaking all those bones. Not normal. I wonder if he has some screwy hard-wiring or if the diet has done some damage. Whatever, his neurons are not firing in the right sequence.

Not to mention, he blamed the woman who took the picture because he had already been masturbating on the train when she walked on.

Sssssooooo…she interrupted his private moment?

And I agree, the R train is a bit weird. It’s where all my frottage incidents occurred.

Hoyt believes that if he and Nguyen had only met under different circumstances, she might really like him. “You know, she’d go, ‘That guy’s pretty cool. He’s got this restaurant, and he’s fun,’ ” Hoyt says. “She’d probably want to go out with me.”

Augh, augh, augh. I need to go shower in bleach.

Narcissistic and creepy. Augh. Ew. The thrill-seeking, the public masturbation, believing in breathatarianism… nutbar!

(Yes, I’m making judgements. Sue me.)

As my Civil Procedure prof used to say, “You can always sue… the question is, can you win?”

I think his diet deficiences have impacted him neurologically. Sort of a “scurvy of the brain” thing.

His excuse is such bullshit. According to Nguyen, he stared at her the entire time (of course). In the photo, you can clearly see that he’s staring at her intently. I do think it’s weird that he didn’t notice her taking a picture of him. I guess he was too intent on whatever sick fantasy he was imagining her in.

The guy’s a textbook narcissistic personality disorder. He can’t imagine anyone else having an emotional life that’s not focused on him and his surpassing coolness. Nor can he imagine that what suits him could repel anyone else. It’s that total obliviousness to other people that makes him so creepy.

For me, this fits right in with his raw foods obsession–most of us ordinary mortals just eat our food, his type uses every mouthful to trumpet his specialness to the world.

Good points, JimR.
