MyLifeIsAverage - Life is pretty normal today

Today, I saw a hobo with a sign that said "I just like holding cardboard." I'm glad there's at least one hobo out there who does what he loves for a living. MLIA

[ - ] DingledongleGood: 2Bad: 02 years, 6 months ago

Hobos are awesome! I have one on my street. He does an Irish jig if you give him a nickel.

[ - ] nitwitblubberoddmenttweakGood: 14Bad: 02 years, 6 months ago

Does he hold a sign that says 'Dignity for sale'?

[ - ] NataxChanGood: 1Bad: 02 years, 6 months ago

Our local Hobo will do the macarena for money. o-o

I know one that says' "Why lie? I just want a beer"

[ - ] dougie07Good: 1Bad: 02 years, 6 months ago

Haha, that's great :D

[ - ] monkeyseeGood: 12Bad: 02 years, 6 months ago

I wasn't aware that being a hobo was an occupation.

[ - ] supervacaneousGood: 15Bad: 02 years, 6 months ago

Oh, it is. It's on the grand master list of occupations... right under space cowboy. That's my occupation. Some people call me Maurice.

[ - ] liorasaurGood: 2Bad: 02 years, 6 months ago

Supervacaneous, you're perfect.

[ - ] monkeyseeGood: 4Bad: 02 years, 6 months ago

Hmm, perhaps I should look into this profession. *wonders if she can major in Hoboism*

[ - ] ChoppermanGood: 1Bad: 02 years, 6 months ago

I'm a Hobology major at Detroit Community College! Go, Fighting Destitute!

Hey! I saw that sign too but I saw mine on the internet! Wow, that person must live in your neighborhood!! Way cool! Moron.

[ - ] theworstpartinGood: 1Bad: 02 years, 6 months ago

hey, kiska. there's probably more than one hobo who likes holding cardboard in the english-speaking world.

[ - ] kiskaGood: 0Bad: 132 years, 6 months ago

Thank you for clarifying that genius.

[ - ] JustPlayDollsGood: 6Bad: 02 years, 6 months ago

I like the ones in Toronto who have signs that say "Will take verbal abuse for money". I give them coffee and muffins instead of verbal abuse or money though :/

[ - ] hehropreaseGood: 0Bad: 02 years, 6 months ago

LOL.

[ - ] NatureCallsGood: 1Bad: 02 years, 6 months ago

I want an awesome hobo. Why are there never any creative ones where I live?!

[ - ] theworstpartinGood: 13Bad: 02 years, 6 months ago

i'm just trying to point out you don't have to be so negative. why call this person a moron just because you saw it on the internet? maybe they saw it in real life as well. i thought MLIA was a place for entertainment and fun, but now that i've started reading the comments i don't like a lot of the people who post here.

[ - ] kiskaGood: 0Bad: 102 years, 6 months ago

leave?

[ - ] muzicluver411Good: 8Bad: 02 years, 6 months ago

naaah maybe kiska u should just shut the f up

[ - ] thewarnersisterGood: 9Bad: 02 years, 6 months ago

I agree, theworstpartin.... I thought this was a place to post average stories about everyday life. Maybe this person really saw a hobo like that. Maybe the hobo found out about another hobo doing something like that overhearing it on the street and decided to do that too?

[ - ] kiskaGood: 1Bad: 222 years, 6 months ago

Are you serious?!? LMFAO!

I think he was sarcastic.... but still funny! :)

[ - ] MomotheHeroGood: 1Bad: 02 years, 6 months ago

There's a hobo near my campus who alternates between signs reading: "Voldermort broke my wand", "Vader killed my parents. Need new lightsaber" and, since it's NYU I got to, "NYU tuition fund".

[ - ] GabyGraveGood: 0Bad: 02 years, 6 months ago

I'd hug him and shower him with money.

[ - ] HonorableVillainGood: 1Bad: 02 years, 6 months ago

Lawl. Love it. I need a creative hobo...

[ - ] GabyGraveGood: 1Bad: 02 years, 6 months ago

...My town has no hobos. C:

[ - ] RhethionGood: 0Bad: 12 years, 6 months ago

What kind of fucked up emoticon is that?

[ - ] CougarAllenGood: 1Bad: 02 years, 6 months ago

There seems to be some confusion about hobos and panhandlers. One person is even talking about a "local hobo." You can't have a local hobo, people.... There are dictionaries online. There are even websites dedicated to the hobo lifestyle, past and to some extent present -- there are still people living the hobo life. -Cougar :{)

[ - ] bewarethejabberwockGood: 0Bad: 02 years, 6 months ago

I want to do this one day. Sit holding a sign like this, I mean, while dressed up like a homeless person. But not with anything for people to put money in, because then I'd feel weird.
