Just aggressively peculiar in a way that isn't actually that exciting unless you're a massive dork.

Very true. In a social situation it could be a way to find out if you want to talk to somebody or not. Like at a party...

"I was just thinking about Robert Fripp and his twin sister who is a motivational speaker."

"Who? What?"

"I just remembered. I gotta go and feed the meter."

"I overheard you saying you took the subway."

"Yeah. But I still gotta go and feed the meter."
