bums_are_boring gay gizmo Picture it, Berkeley, Telegraph Street. Its 3am on a thursday night. I'm outside, chillin on the stoop, smoking my last smoke. A bum walks by throwing a stick. Its the most amusing yet sadly boring thing I've ever seen. He's just throwing it ahead of himself, and then walking to it, picking it back up and starting it all over again. This strikes me as very odd. You'd think, for someone who sits on the streets all day long, with nothing to do. Someone with all the time in the world in their hands. You'd think they could come up with something a little better than throwing a stick and chasing it. For christ's sake, I wanted to run after him and least teach him how to twirl the stick. Maybe then he could progress and find a rod, and then twirl it around for money. Cause I would give money to a bum twirling a rod before I would give money to a bum chasing a stick. 021008 ... gay gizmo i always thought this was a good one, but no one pasted, let see if it was perhaps, slightly over looked :) 030202 ... farmfish hey! nice post. 030202 ... x who's to say what is a "good" use to time? who knows what he was getting out of that? 030202 ... a bum i was throwin' it to my invisible dog, but he's a little slow 030203 ... phil guess what I'll be doing tomorrow?

I'd have to agree that asses are really boring... i mean, you see one you've seen them all. But as far as the homeless bums are concerned.... they might tell some interesting stories, but then again.... you'd have to be able to get past the body odour in order to hear the stories... so I guess you're right... bums are boring at least to look at 030206 ... minnesota_chris I agree, they used to be the world's ultimate punk rockers, giving a big FUCK YOU to conventional behavior, but now they always stand at the same intersections, with the same handwritten cardboard signs, asking for money. If I was a bum, I'd chase people. Police would beat me for being so obnoxious. Sometimes I'd just be naked for the hell of it. My uncle was a bum, sort of. Sniffed a little too much glue as a kid. He could hitchike across the country in a day or two. Just like going to the corner store to you and me, he'd go anywhere. When he came to my dad's house, his back was covered in mosquito bites and he had bad bad diarrhea. 030206 ... minnesota_chris It is a good post. But, like most posts, it's complete in itself, and doesn't invite further discussion. 030206 ... Arwyn you know... in west des moines, the police pick bums up, give them $50 and a bus ticket to vegas so they can say we don't have a problem with homelessness.... 030206 ... phil that's sounds like a bunch of shit. 030210 ... bethany until you get em mad and give em knives 030210 ... nomme) a lot of 'bums' work their asses off 050706 ... akuma aoi i beg to differ hollywood_material_baby good_morning_senor 050707 ... andru235 CEOs are boring strippers are boring chancellors are boring calculus instructors are boring professional football players are boring blah blah blah, something about the something of a beholder... at least the bum's boringness is environmentally sustainable... 050714 ... andru235 ""hey everyone, i have a great idea! why don't we, we with our permanent houses, we with our metallic technologies, we with our superior, civilized thinking...why don't we pick on those who *don't* have such things? it'll be like in the old days, when we took out those fucking druids, those fucking pagan native americans, those fucking animist aborigines!"" i know this was probably started in jest. that's nice. i am jesting as well, of course. don't read "ishmael" by daniel quinn. you'll detest it.
