sadly, there’s no pics for this sixer (and i’m too drunk to taste this chicken)

i remember somebody talking about the economy when it first went shithouse…

…that the poorer folk (which i took to mean the homeless) would rise up and “conquer” (or, at the very least, start some shit). i think that may be happening – i’ve seen some things. strange things. and i think it could be…

six signs of the revolution to come:

1. it’s a joke – humor has long been a way for the vagrant-folk to get more dough. but to see a guy panhandling in a shirt from a chinese restaurant that says, “me so hungry – me love you long time” just says to me “i know this will be behind me…SOON”.

2. where’d they go – i went ALL day yesterday, running around a bit, with ZERO homeless sightings. none. was there a meeting? i mean, TECHNICALLY panhandling is illegal in austin, which speaking of…

3. …the big crackdown! – it’s one thing to be homeless. its’ another thing to be homeless AND handicapped (and to reiterate the first point the one-legged homeless lady uses a sign that says “on my last leg”). but to see her actually get BUSTED on the panhandling law on her one leg? that’s just fucked up…

4. all the young vets…- that was supposed to be a bowie reference, but i don’t think it reads that way. anywho, i have noticed a lot of guys with “desert storm vet” on their signs lately. “nam vet” gets no sympathy from me…there was a DRAFT then. it was either ‘nam or live in mexico. but desert storm? those guys are MY age (or younger). talk about there but for the grace…

5. number five was given to the guy in the “me love you long time” shirt

6. sleepless in mcdonald’s – this freaked me out. it took a moment for me to figure out what was up, but essentially there was a guy hitting up a woman INSIDE a mcdonald’s, who WAS trying to give him food and bottled water, to let him sleep in her fucking car for two hours. are you serious? sleep in my fucking car for a couple hours? a big mac and some dasani ain’t enough? you wanna snore (and most likely piss) all over my auto upholstery? if they’re getting THAT brazen the revolution MUST be near…’cause that’s a straight up G.F.Y. moment…
