I’m a little skeptical of “hobo” as a chosen way of life. Even before today’s electrified railyard fences and bulls authorized to use deadly force there was at least work to be found at the end of the line. Those guys didn’t do it for love of freedom. They were looking for work, or running from the law, or a pregnant wife. These pictures are lovely but I can’t make them add up.

  • Firstly some of these are the fattest homeless people I’ve ever seen. Those possum cleaning skills are a mess, so I’m going to guess that possum isn’t what’s usually on the menu. All I’m saying is there must be a few missing shipments of Little Debbie’s Snacks out there.
  • Love the shanty, but isn’t that door a little too spectacular to be found in a dumpster? That’s like a $400 dollar door. They pull it off a nearby house? When was the last time you saw a door, or a window now that we’re on it, at the dump?
  • Where did they land that full bottle of Mad Dog? Let me tell you something, if there is one thing that you will never find in a dumpster, it’s a full bottle of fortified wine. Correct me if I’m wrong, but there are only two possible resting places for the last few swallows of surplus fortified wine (that don’t include warming some poor bastard’s guts): A) poured dramatically down the sink drain of a man in the pit of self loathing, or B) spilled in the ally gutter after a blood soaked hobo duel.
  • But there’s several bottles in that booze locker there. No one but a confirmed alcoholic could choke down more than a few swallows of MD 20/20 but here’s the funny part. An alcoholic won’t have any more that one bottle of booze at a time. And a group of communal alcoholics wouldn’t be so lovey dovey as this bunch, and they definitely wouldn’t keep all their booze together.

I could go on and on. I love the spirit of this sort of thing but this simply reeks of fakeness… and urine… fakeness and urine….

German Toilets

Amazing! I’ve got a few friends from Germany and I am shocked and appalled. If your entire nationality uses toilets designed with a turd observation platform and all your men sit down and pee, that needs to come up as you exchange niceties with the uninitiated… because thats WACK! Kudos for having toilets though… still better off than those mouth breathers in France. Ha ha… I kid the french!

I had pair of elderly men stop at my house today. They were Christians of some kind (probably non-denominational) I could tell the way they introduced themselves by reading a passage in the bible. These people are always trying to sell more than just the scripture, so I told them I didn’t want them to waste their time on me, and I’m not interested, and I don’t believe we have an immortal soul, and I don’t believe in God, and I respect whatever they’re doing, and that I wish them luck, etc. etc… I smiled and tried to be polite as possible about it but it didn’t matter; as they were walking off I heard one of them say “Have fun in hell.” under his breath.
Thats my main complaint with religious people. The ones who think they’re totally square with “the lord” are, nine times out of ten, total douchebags. That is the real appeal for these assholes, they get their rocks off believing that everyone else is going to burn. I’m sorry, but that is evil.
The fucking duplicity of the whole institution make me sick. It isn’t just that the “creation theory” is a pile of shit and everyone, even the pope knows it but pretends otherwise; or how every religion is a crooked business that squeezes money from the faithful; its that religion -any religion- externalizes all of the things that make people “good”. People do things the right way, not for themselves, but for fear of some kind of holy retribution. It just makes for bad people. People who only act nice on the outside because they’re trying to score “God points”. And these people are bewildered by the concept that one could do good for it’s own sake, without being forced to do good by an omnipotent judge leering over them.
I had a friend who is a devout baptist and he would stand flat-footed to your face and tell you that without Jesus everyone is doomed to damnation… and then he would add he could kill somebody and still go to heaven because he’s accepted Jesus Christ as his savior.
I’ve got another buddy and we get along famously, but he is super religious so we usually end up having little disagreements over the nature of the universe. I can be pretty convincing sometimes and once he had to fall back on the old “but we NEED God to give us order” argument. He’s like “If science could prove that there is no God then I’ll leave my family and start doing drugs and having lots of sex with prostitutes etc etc…” and I told him that was the basis for my hatred of religion. That instead of doing right for the sake of goodness, or for the betterment of their brother man, religion gives an unnecessary foundation for all morality and that foundation is a house of cards. Wake up people! You don’t need God to be decent to eachother.

This is so true. The notion of building a tree-house has been haunting me since childhood… even more than Raoul from summer camp… standing there tan and smiling with the sun on him,,, like some kind of greek god… Oh Raoul… the world wasn’t ready for us…
