Dear Hobo Lobbyists

How does one become a hobo. Some days the idea is actually quite appealing.

First you need a sack.

Does a sack of medical bills count?

Or a large kerchief tied to the end of a stick.

And songs. You need stuff to sing while sitting around the campfire, cooking baked beans in a can and roasting hot dogs.

I will not allow the death of the hobo-stabbing joke. There must be someone within the Hobos Of Basic Origin Society (aka, HOBOS) that is willing to discuss this matter.

yummy♥

thank you Miss C.

we all good now.

sincerely,
hobos

:laugh:

You need both a sack and a large kerchief tied to the end of the stick. But a true hobo never shows his sack in public, 'cause then he'd be a bum.

Also a mental illness is a handy item to have. Diagnosed or undiagnosed.
And a good hat.

Some of my best friends are hobos.

Iowa is not just the First In the Nation for presidential caucus(es), we are also the host to the National Hobo Convention, conveniently held the second weekend of every August. Come and get your HOBO on in Britt, Iowa

Oh... Please don't come for stabbing events.

I believe some of the presidential candidates might also like to come to the National Hobo convention.

My ex-wife calls me a "lazy bum"...does that qualify me? If it does, put the effing knife down...thank you.

Hobos and Bums are two different things. Hobos smoke cigars, bums ask for money from people who smoke cigars.

This guy gets it.

I was always under the impression that hobos ride the rails through the countryside in empty boxcars...

Pardon me. I may have gotten lost on my way to the meeting of the International Association of Pine Cone Bird Feeder Manufacturers. Perhaps our organizations can work together?

I learned today (on MFP.com no doubt) that rodents like peanut butter. When is your organization going to stop ignoring this important issue? Birds and rodents getting married? It is written, birds and bees, not birds and rodents. Please respond to this important issue!

Your objection to groups intermarrying did not rhyme, so I cannot take it seriously. Returning to the topic, ahem, perhaps I could get a tax break to employ hobos in the manufacture of pine cone bird feeders, thereby benefiting both organizations and their constituencies.

While I completely understand that,
(and I slightly suspect you're a cat):
my lack of ability to make this plea rhyme
Doesn't mean I don't deserve the time.

Pine cone feeders are for the birds,
And on the ground they leave turds;
Rodents want the peanut butter,
The risk result makes me shutter.

Birds were meant to be with bees,
You join with Hobos with such ease;
The atrocity before us is so real,
Those Hobos lie, cheat and steal.

It is time for all the feeders,
to stop the cross-species breeders;
Keep the rodents from the fowl,
Make a feeder that stops them now!

This could be funny if people weren't actually stabbing hobos and videoing it. It's happened in Russia and I think UK that I've heard of.

Don't mind him. He's a hobo.

Pine cone hobo-feeder instructions, s'il vous plait. Not for use as bait, mind you. Strictly altruistic.

This was hilarious... thanks for the laugh.

Me, too. We need to make a commerical with Sarah McLachlan holding a dead hobo-stabbing joke while a sad, sad song plays in the bakeground. Or maybe she should be holding a dead sense of humor.

I love you

First they came to stab the hobos, but since I was not a hobo, I did not speak out....



Just saying... if we're gonna enforce the guidelines:

No ... endorsement of violence against any person or group, even if couched in humor, will be permitted

then we've gotta enforce them evenhandedly.

Silly as it may seem, I'd prefer to maintain my credibility when someone posts a rape "joke" post (yes, they exist from time to time) and then says "but I was only kidding."

I'd much rather be seen as a silly hand-wringer in the case of moderating this thread, than lacking authority later when truly needed.

SO.... clang <snick>
