I'm thinking of driving downtown...
    #5764331 - 06/18/06 01:26 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

..and looking for all those dudes that hang around with cardboard signs at intersections, so I can switch their signs with some that I will have pre-designed and have with me at the handy. :grin:

Some ideas of mine include..

"Don't watch me, watch the damn road"

"unemployed: But I think I'll just kick it here with this sign."

"Lost my job holding the $5.99 pizza special sign."

"Cool sign huh? Now gimme some scrilla."

"They can't fire me here!"

:lol: Anyone have any more sign ideas?

Yeah that's kind of the basic package ain't it? :lol:

I'm still wondering how the Republicans talked God into getting into their little display case...

I'm sure the hobos are out today... I could take a walk with my camera to get some examples.

some of the bums around here have been interviewed by my school newspaper. Several made more money than I do, like $200-400 per day. It's sad to compare to myself when I read where they live, what they drive and what they "do". Most here actually do have cars and normal homes and do massive amounts of drugs. I was jealous when I read the interview.

I'll try to find a link

Oh I think some of my signs could actually make them a small fortune if the hand would be played right..

Oh BTW: Don't think for a minute those dickheads aren't raking in mad loots. I mean after all, it's a zillion bums out working in the heat, there's one on nearly every corner, the pay must be pretty darned good. :stoned:

It may be a good idea to scout killer panhandling locations, provide clever signs for bums, and shuttle them around the city to take post at those sites.

Then you could take 25% of each bum's earnings at the end of the day when you pick them up and drive them back to their home.


BTW...Nashbar...I'd love to read that article if you can find the link. :thumbup:

here's the most recent interviews...

the guy I always see and "chatted" with once is Edgar. He writes fast, drinks beer, smokes pot, crack and meth. He's taken mushrooms, acid and E, I asked about those. He wrote about the others. He lives in an apartment about a block from the corner of 35W and University, pretty close to my place.

http://www.mndaily.com/articles/2006/03/28/67724

if you search that website enough, there's more interviews that go back 5-7 years. Edgar is famous, there's a couple others that are known by name. From the sounds of it, they are pretty territorial.

Except that they'll hide most all of the bigger denomination bills anytime you're not standing directly overtop of them and watching them like a chickenhawk,  and so your 25% will end up being like $4.73 for your tank of gas. :lol:

You'd need some sort of plan to compensate loyal workers generously to have any sort of a shot at pulling it off.

Organize them into a motel room that they won't wanna give up through disloyalties etc. etc.

I'd lose...

The hobos here stand on the corner smoking cigarettes with a six pack and a sign.

I'll see what I can do, it's a sunday, there might not be anyone on the corner.

Each bum will deposit his earnings in a lockbox he'll keep with him. He WILL be shaken down at the end of the day and if he's caught hiding any dollars he'll be beaten to the tune of 1 wip per stolen dollar. JK.

I think I'll start a legit business...one which I don't have to deal with bums.
