    I dunno. Fifty cents so a guy can get some Steel Reserve; I don't really need that fifty cents as much as that guy. A dollar? Fuck you scumbag, 'fore I call the cops.

    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.

    Seriously, what is up with those guys. Before I came here I had never seen an emo hobo before. And they all have dogs

    That seriously is like the official drink of bums. That and Icehouse. There's a bum who has a discount card just so he can get icehouse beer for $1.46

    He also uses his foodstamp card to buy candy.

    Fuck that bum.

    Vancouver is hobo central.
    So many delightful blokes!
    Let's see, now.
    Closest to me would be the Robson @ Thurlow
    "Man in wheelchair with stuffed animals"
    He makes them perform scenes
    but only moves his mouth
    rarely talks
    and shakes the animals at everyone as they walk by

    then there's steve
    i have seen him for the 3, almost 4 years i've lived here
    always in the same spot
    doing the same thing
    in the same voice
    "sir ma'am can i have some change sir sir can i have some change ma'am sir"
    shifting from foot to foot, every half second
    i kid you not.

    my favourite hobo though is the street cleaning hobo
    his cart is full of brooms
    rags
    garbage bags
    the side of his cart has a sign,
    "cleaning up your streets for your change"

    commendable.

    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.

    It's a lot easier to attack me if you change "I don't want to hang around with hobos" to "all hobos are terrible people who have AIDS purely and directly as a result of their own personal moral failings. They are bad people in every possible sense."

    My first thought on seeing this guy was: There goes Carrot Top in about 10 years.


    Also, I recently had a guy come up to me and sadly declare that he had brain cancer and waved some disgustingly dirty papers in my face which he certainly knew I wasn't going to touch as medical papers 'proving' it. He then requested cash for toilet paper as he lives behind that pizza place over there and needs it cause he's shitting blood. I left before he tried to prove that.

    The Robson and Thurlow puppet show is usually the highlight of my afternoon. I love that guy. I'd really like to know what he's saying though.

    There's also a black dude named Dave who will break out a wicked freestyle for a couple bucks. ...But he's not too smart and doesn't ask for the money up front. I've seen Dave lose a lot of cash that way.

    And Spoonman, whom i see whenever I'm at the Loose Moose.

    On Sunday, I was waiting in line to get a Wii. I didn't get one, but that's beside the point.

    This homeless lady walked by. Boy, did she ever stink, like a combination of stale booze, urine, and several unidentifiable odors. It was a little breezy out, but the smell lingered for a while after she left. As she walked by the line, you could see people coughing and grabbing their noses a second or two after she passed them, like some nauseating version of "The Wave."

    Homeless or not, how hard is it to not piss all over yourself?

    We don't have homeless people here.

    Well, we do, but those daft enough to stick around past September freeze to death pretty quickly.

    Of course, we have a fairly decent council housing system in this country, so unless you're so mental that you can't go to the council and say "House please.", you can probably get a house.
