one little, two little, three little hobo’s (times two)

sue me, i decided to be lazy for a third sixer in a row and do pics people sent me…

…but hell, i added my own captions. and if you hadn’t seen ’em, they are kinda funny – the six best homeless signs (according to a dog groomer in seguin, texas – which i’m still trying to figure out how she got my email address…)

what’s sad is that DESPITE britt’s success (still blows me away her private school girl attire from the ‘hit me baby one more time’ video is placed in a display case next to hendrix’s monterrey outfit at the hard rock in vegas) there’s enough of a white trash element to the event that this guy MIGHT have actually been on the guest list. just sayin’. can’t rule it out.

the first of a few geeky homeless references – hey, at least they don’t ALL appeal to the lowest common denominator, right? my question is, if he ONLY needs the flux capacitor, why can’t he just pawn the delorean for a meal? (and yes, shane, i knew you’d appreciate seeing a dirty hippy on the street which is why i put this so high up in the countdown as this is being written on your birthday and all…)

the second geeky homeless reference – never heard about the tryst anakin skywalker had in that fucked up bar twenty years before luke met han solo there, did you? the night he and obi were doing shots? how do you think obi knew about the place? well, he made it out alive…and solo. anakin didn’t. meet luke and leia’s illegitimate half brother, larry skywalker. amazing how low you sink when people don’t just GIVE you the keys to an x-wing fighter and an R2 unit, huh?

i knew things might get ugly for this guy when they killed his character off so early in the ‘harry potter’ series, but jeesh! sad true story – i once saw a guy with a sign like this, so rather than give him beer MONEY i gave him a cold beer (i’d just left the store). a smithwick’s, to be precise. heard from a buddy a couple lights behind me that HE saw the cops writing the guy a ticket for panhandling (illegal in austin) AND an open container. oops. it’s the thought that counts, right?

if i saw this guy i’d have to give him TWO dollars – one for the creativity, and one ’cause yes, i did in fact read the sign and hence lost the bet…and did anyone notice the black flag bars tattoo on his left arm? shane wants that – might wanna re-think that plan, huh? oh well, henry rollins has ’em and he seems to be doing okay…

and finally…

maybe not the FUNNIEST on the list, but definitely the most accurate – and in more ways than one as the obamaconomy strangles us all. sure, he didn’t CREATE it, but i haven’t seen any of that dramatic change we were promised, which his proponents point out we’re still “a bit early in the presidency”. really? two years is early? what’s three? as my buddy’s mom says (and i feel i can quote her on this knowing she didn’t vote for the man since he’s one of those “n-word people” (meant as “Nasty liberals – not the other “n-word”)) – “want in one hand…” – eh, y’all know the rest of how that goes.
