Do hobos still "hop trains"?

And I have to admit, this is some pretty real shit right here. I think I prefer rappers eating out of trashcans, than drinking Cristal.

yes we still do, its fun! u should try it


memedumpster - 2013-12-05

So, when you come across actual homeless people who aren't entitled poverty tourists, do you look them in the eye, or just LOL and move on?


Ursa_minor - 2013-12-05

Ah, entitled poverty tourists, who, despite being anarchists, have a very strict dress and conduct code.


lotsmoreorcs - 2013-12-05

we call them 'crust fund' kids, they get Westys from their parents every couple of weeks...i cant say im entirely innocent of being a poverty tourist myself but i make my own money (NOT prostituting as people seem t think would be my obvious vocation). its fun!

This is great. However, my question: if you're really not getting enough food all the time, how the hell do you stay fat? I understand that poor people get fat 'cause cheap food is usually unhealthy, plus the whole "food desert" concept (which is real and very common in big cities), but how are gutter punks getting fat? Pics of my uncle and his homeless punk friends in the 80s show them as being skinny as hell. I was skinny when I was flat broke. So why does 3 Stack look like Grimace? When did people start being Fat Broke?


memedumpster - 2013-12-05

Well, the song does talk a lot about street scarfing pets and stealing as much food as possible. I guess homeless isn't what it used to be. Last time I was on the street, for example, there weren't many green screens, stock footage, sound engineers, and computer generated music being thrown away, so perhaps buffets are too?


Oscar Wildcat - 2013-12-05

Same way everyone else is; by eating a largely corn based diet. Ask any pig farmer or rancher about how that works.


lotsmoreorcs - 2013-12-05

if you ask people for their leftover 6/10 will give you them, if i ask guys then its 10/10 :D


lotsmoreorcs - 2013-12-05

Tolkien claimed that Orcs were just Elves gone Bad, and judging by that piccy you're square in the center of that goodly man's land. Not at all what I was expecting.


EvilHomer - 2013-12-05

You're pretty much exactly what I expected.

In fact, I'm a little scared by how closely my mental picture of you matches up with the actual you... assuming you're the fetching blonde with the weird shit on her face, and not the chubby one or the eight year old child.



moar pix plz


Jet Bin Fever - 2013-12-05

I saw that picture when you posted it before and spent about half an hour trying to understand what the fuck the sign is for. I guess that's a website for sad street people that don't have any real reason to be homeless or something?


ashtar. - 2013-12-05

I thought you were a dude.


lotsmoreorcs - 2013-12-05

i am the fetching blonde :D!!! latfo is a great website that documents street kids traveling and makes fun of oogles or poser street kids. i wouldn't say i have no reason to be homeless, i have been to 29 states hitching and hopping so i see it as traveling, i think this is an amazing country and i have gotten to see some of the weirder parts along with getting the feel and flavor of many major cities. i was a bit of a homebum when i started, meaning i didnt travel and just looked at me and my street kid friends as taking direct action against mainstream society blah blah etc, but once i got into the traveling aspect and realized how different life can be when you don't think about money (although alot of kids obsess over how much money they can make spanging, flying signs etc...however its always been easy for me just panhandling with whatever road dogs im traveling with) you can experience a level of independence from mainstream day to day society that is incredibly liberating. this is all jsut imo lol. i'm not saying this is what im going to do for the rest of my life, but for right now in my ealry mid 20s i wouldnt have it any other way :D :D xD


lotsmoreorcs - 2013-12-05

and no i am not a dude i have always been a split tail throughout my entire poe career :D thats why i was serious when i demanded dick pics from jhmf!!! lol


EvilHomer - 2013-12-05

...

did he provide them?

And speaking of JHMF, I'm still working on that John Holmes Santa/ Boxxy thing. But I've got another painting I'm working on, too - A Hobo Christmas, done in the style of Thomas Kinkade. (it's pretty ambitious, and is probably beyond my meager skills... for now. I'm worried if it comes out looking less-than-spectacular, people might think I'm trying to be insincere and snarky)

lotsmoreorcs, would you be OK with it if I used you as one of the merry hobos, enjoying their Christmas feast in the toasty warm overpass tunnel? And if so, do you have any suggestions for things to add in, like an inside joke or peculiar iconography that crusties/oogles/gutterpunks would recognize?


Oscar Wildcat - 2013-12-05

"Why", thinks EvilHomer, hand cupped across face, lighting his cigarette against a persistant wet wind, "This could be the start of a dysfunctional relationship".


EvilHomer - 2013-12-05

Is there any other sort?


Jet Bin Fever - 2013-12-05

Remember orcs, travelling is only fun if you have a place to come home to. You gotta have an exit, or you're just spinning your wheels.
And thanks for explaining that latfo thing. I have no idea why someone would want to pose as a street person. I guess it's like the song Common People, all the real poor or dysfunctional people are thinking, "what the fuck?"


ashtar. - 2013-12-05

Ok, one of the people in my grad school class on Walden was featured on that tumblr. That's weird. She no longer has green hair, but that's definitely her.

She's wrong about Thoreau having a post-structuralist understanding of semantics.


Oscar Wildcat - 2013-12-05

Gawd, I hate it when those green haired bitches get my acorn eating, proto tea bagging, tax dodging Homie all ass backwards. Got to set them straight!


infinite zest - 2013-12-05

I'm pretty sure I know this guy. I lived with a rapper who goes by Professor Anarchy for a while and we'd sit around, her with her sign that says "will rap for food or four loko" and me just kind of sitting there, but they got into a pretty intense rap battle on the streets of Portland. Wonder if it's the same guy; never got his name, he just kind of walked away.


infinite zest - 2013-12-05

err.. "rap for $ or four loko." She was very honest :)


Miss Henson's 6th grade class - 2013-12-05

I looked at that site and now my browser cache smells weird.


Jet Bin Fever - 2013-12-05

Smells like B.O., cigarettes and cheap beer?


Old People - 2013-12-06

Man, one chick starts talking and these yahoos go apeshit. I love this place.


lotsmoreorcs - 2013-12-06

homer feel free to use the B X G X M X G symbol in this style, with the B on top G on bottom and M G on either side http://tinyurl.com/q2m93qs it stands for a train hopping crew i used to run with called Bird Gang Murder Gang


lotsmoreorcs - 2013-12-06

and make sure i get a copy!!! i love poe


lotsmoreorcs - 2013-12-07

and btw no jhmf never provided the pics :(


Jet Bin Fever - 2013-12-05

Neck tattoos are a fun way to show people that you are unemployable.


memedumpster - 2013-12-05

I'm never giving money to anyone homeless younger than me ever again. This has turned me 1/3 Republican.


Father Avalanche - 2013-12-05

I'm sure there is an emoticon that could properly portray my disdain, but fuck it.


memedumpster - 2013-12-05

Father Avalanche! Is it weird I sort of worried about you when you stopped posting? I guess that's weird.


Father Avalanche - 2013-12-06

It was an internet cleanse. I thought being without it for a few months I would stop being so fucking lazy. Turns out the lazy is inherent in my genetic code.


Jet Bin Fever - 2013-12-06

Welcome to the club. Sometimes I'm amazed my ancestors survived long enough to reproduce.


Chancho - 2013-12-05

This guy must be Canadian. I see lots of fat homeless people here.


BorrowedSolution - 2013-12-05

He definitely sounds Canadian, as well. I guess we should be proud that our country can even keep our homeless people fat?
