His name is Leslie, and he runs for mayor ever year.
Leslie is a tranvestite male who wears high heals and a thong.
He campaigns out of a local burger king every year.
He came in 3rd in the Austin mayoral election last time.
Thats a picture of Leslie.
I know lots of interesting hobos, oddly enough.
There is this one hobo who lives in Nasa named Dancing Dave. I mean, litterally, he changed his name to Dancing Dave in the 1990's. He's an vietnam vet who screams when he talks. He always tells people that 1986 was the best year, because thats the year his wife left him.
He wears a cowboy hat, chaps, a belt with turn signals on it, a bleach-white vest, a small cape, cowboy boots, tons of gold chains, a small pink tutu, and a zorro mask every day.
there's a club near nasa called the hop. they only play music from the 1950's, and only old, old, old women go. Like, 70-80 year olds. He goes every night, at 5 (so he can avoid the cover charge) and dances all night long. By himself.
His catchphrase is "Everybody let's get dancing now!"

On topic there's a hobo by my school who has 2 shopping carts, and he pushes one shopping cart a block, walks back and pushes the other to catch up.

I'm almost totally convinced that if there is a devil, he was it.
A lot. I can't remember how many people ran, but I know he defeated a lot of people.
eccentric hobos shall inherit the earth, mark my words
There is, a hobo in Austin TX.
they call, the hobo, Leslie
he campaigns out of a local Burger King
and God bless, he's fun
I'll stop.
You don't know hobos until you know a battle hardened downtown LA hobo.
I once met a hobo who strongly felt that people with homes should in fact be in their homes and not outside walking around, because if he had a home, for example, he would occupy his entire day with eating, sleeping, watching TV and fucking.
He had a point.
Literally there was some homeless dude sitting on a bench for about 8 hours straight. I suppose he didn't have anything better to do, though.
Cops here found a hobo dead in the river that runs through campus.
jermaine and i stole things from this group of college students who were
"pretending to be homeless for a night in order to better sympathize with the homeless"
while they were inside a theater eating free popcorn and watching RENT
it was quite possibly the worst thing i had ever seen
D.C. hobos are just lazy and dangerous
Our hobos suck. They're either crazy, or they're a part of this weird, city-wide clique of trendy homeless people called the Drag Rats.
Drag Rats are really weird. Like, they'll follow you around for long periods of time asking to be your friend. Or they'll tell you that you can punch them in the face for $20.
last time i was in atlanta there was a female hobo crapping on the sidewalk
i was like, "oh, atlanta hobos"
Man, Baltimore has the highest percentage of mental illness among their homeless population than any other city. Or, at least, I've read as much.
PS: Hobos are train riders, not homeless people. You all suck.
There's a train that runs through austin. I'm more than sure that these hobos ride the train occasionally.
He'd walk around screaming anti-everything sentiment at top volume. Usually it was hilarious. One day, he walked up to the gas station I was in, screaming as usual. He stepped inside, calmly walked up to the attendant and purchased a pack of Marlboro reds. Then calmly walked back outside and continued on his tirade.
This was the last time Charles was seen. He may have been hit by an oil truck.
So everytime I ride Metro or the T, I'm a hobo? Sweet.
this one hobo walked along with us, claiming mick jagger probably had laryngitis and that he was a better singer now
then he began loudly singing a stones song (i believe it was honky tonk woman)
good times
On the DC Metro one day, a hobo was talking to himself in an angry voice. All of a sudden, he turns to a nearby mother holding an infant and starts yelling at the baby for a good two minutes. Baby starts crying, mother is just stunned into silence, and the metro police is called to our car, where he makes his hasty getaway, calling every person he sees racist as he exits. It was awesome.
Thats sad
was he black?
they don't have to ride trains
just as long as they travel and work they are considered "hobos"
but i'm pretty sure the culture is too dead to be arguing about it
Which political party was he?
National Socialist Workers Party
yes. The highlight, other than the baby crying, was seeing this huge suave black guy in a business suit that costs more than my car being physically restrained from going after the dude after his whole racist tirade. DC Metro: where the fun never stops.
But I thought the Nazis already control Texas (and the US).
I'm pretty sure you're wrong.
Other fun name for homeless:
Transients
What's yours?
Plus, Boston deals with the homeless problem by categorically ignoring it.
RE: Kinky Friedman of Texas.
That one... he's come to end us all.
He would put his hand in his shirt, like a sock puppet and say weird things to it.
One day I see him doing this and he is quite irate.
He is essentially talking very loudly and cursing out the shirt puppet.
I think I walked away swiftly and hid.
I hope that guy got some help.
Secret Satan
My parents gave us a lot of independence as kids so the three of us were walking around near Pike Place Market while our parents were off doing something else. My older brother and sister were with me and I'll never forget standing on a street corner waiting to cross when this very drunk guy that I remember being Native American and seemed to be 8 feet tall (again I was 12) walked up to us, reared his fist back like he was about to punch one of us, and loudly exclaimed to us as a group, "I'm tough!"
My brother, the second oldest, promptly scooted across the street while my sister and I just froze in shock as he repeated a few more times that he was tough, in case we didn't believe him the first time. Then, like most drunks, he lost interest and meandered off.
Also, I once met a hobo named Jesus Christ, who shouted awesome lines like "I EAT THE FOOD THAT MAKES ME POOP!"
