PS: Hobos are train riders, not homeless people. You all suck.
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
I'm pretty sure you're wrong.

Look, I have nothing vested in this argument so I can say with perfect honesty that I can be a fair and impartial judge. Callius, PM me a picture of your erect wang. Mackingtheknife, PM me a picture of your naked chest, full booby shot. The winner of this PM contest will win the argument.

With over a thousand homeless people in Vancouver, I've met a whole bunch. Two really fun ones come to mind. One day me and some friends were walking around downtown and this guy wearing a tuxedo comes up and introduces himself. His name is Magic, and he claims the tuxedo was 50 years old. After he proceeds to show us a few tricks, he cons my friend into giving him 20 dollars to show him how a trick worked, then he ran away. Another guy that i've seeen a few times on the bus I actually think is insane. He puts a piece of cardboard on his ear and pretends it's a bluetooth headset and screams random shit not even close to a real conversation. Every time I've seen him he's dripping wet and I'm pretty sure he's always on heroin. Fun times =]

This would be a good place for me to type out the 700 hobo names in "The Areas of My Expertise." But I'm not going to.
Also, the homeless around me at least try to work for their money. Like do a little dance, or give you a rose or orange or newspaper. Some sell pies on the side of the road.
When I was in vegas a homeless guy came up to me and was trying to convince me to give him money. He wanted like $40 to buy a work permit or something like that, so he could support his family.
I told him I lost all my money playing blackjack, and that I was drunk. He tried to convince me to find an ATM (not hard to do in vegas).
I was drunk, but I actually had just won about $300 playing poker at the tropicana. He finally left me alone by telling me "this is what I get for helping somebody with directions, I guess my only option is suicide."

Do you know anything about the modern hobo community or the crust-punk community?
why yes, callius, i do
incidentally my only cousin was a gutterpunk
and i know many rules among the homeless community
i.e. don't fall asleep with your shoes on
Baltimore hobos are fun. Give them a cig and they regale you with awesome stories.
D.C. hobos are just lazy and dangerous
Liar. I know a homeless man named Joel who yells rediculious things at people from outside of Starbucks. Things like "You are under arrest for impersonating a federal agent" and (To someone wearing bunny ears) "That's not a bunny, that's a bunny replica"
Yes Defender, all hobos and crust-punks are horrible people.
He didn't say that Cal, he just asked why he'd want to know about or be around them. I would agree with him for the most part. They're free to do their thing but I'm not obligated to learn more about the hobo culture or hang out with them, nor do I want to. This applies to plenty of other cultures that are welcome to do their thing but that I'm not interested in getting involved in.

There is a homeless guy here in Santa Cruz that everyone calls pinky. Over time pinkys shtick has evolved. It started out that pinky would just walk really really slowly. Like one foot exactly in front of the next slowly, except when he gets to crosswalks, then he walks normally. But immediatly goes back to slow when he gets to the other side. When he started he just wore a hawaiian shirt and jeans. Then he got an umbrella with foil underneath it. Then he started wearing a dress. Then he started wearing ridiculusly heavy make up. Now he wears a pink dress, pink scarf heavy make up and he has a pink sun umbrella. Also he is always smiling, always. It's a really weird smile though, kinda creepy.
Leslie is a fixture of Austin. they even make like souvenirs out of him somewhere here in town that sell quite well.
I once saw Leslie in a leotard verbally throw down with one of our resident doomsday preachers.
It was...weird to say the least. In a cool way though.
WTF? Do they use his shed skin? Locks of his hair? Or did you just roll a critical failure on your syntax?
I wish it was a critical failure of my syntax, but I'm afraid it's just a normal failure.. They do sell quite well, so I don't know who it speaks worse of. I remember a guy bought one of his old leotards for pretty expensive.

My favorite hobo was the old dude who used to rollerskate around downtown wearing a pink tutu, smoking a pipe. Most of them around here just sit on the bridge and drink, because the cops leave them alone.

There aren't really any interesting homeless people I've seen in Bloomington. I occasionally give them change because I feel sorry for them. Especially this guy with a beard that will talk to himself in a high pitched gravelly voice.
There used to be a bum that hung around Pasadena. We weren't sure of his name, other than he went by "The Crazy Old Man of Pasadena," among the circles I hung out around. He would always wear the most distrubing things possible, mostly because they put his genitals on display. As a rule, he'd always wear a leotard, a tutu, and see through stockings. Apparently he made some computer chip for Parsons or something.
I will only give a bum money if he is doing something to earn it. I do not care if he can play that guitar or not, only if he is willing to put the effort forth to look like an asshole in public.

he was very fucked up on nitrus and acid
he was screaming naked about he was the cheetah and how much he hated "niggers"
when the cops came they slammed his face in the ground and he was eating dirt
he spit on this sexy lady cop and she slammed his face into the ground and called him a "stupid asshole"
oh crazies, they're all the time being crazy

I don't remember inviting you to my home.
Why would anyone want to know anything about hobos? Other than, of course, how to avoid being near any goddamn fucking hobos?
You are a miserable disappointment, madam.

my dad did this once with a car when he had to pick it up from repairs

Sounds reasonable to me.

Bums are just unemployed crazy people.
Bums are awesome.
they are all high school tweakers that make loads of money from selling every drug they can get their hands on

He's off to work.
You're so quaint.
I think he's dead now.
Like the rest of the working world.
