Popular hobos!

[B4gle]

Around my neighborhood, there are 2 hobo's that EVERYONE knows. I don't know either of their real names, because everyone calls them nicknames.

The more popular hobo is some really ugly looking chick who is addicted to heroin and can be seen usually sitting outside a buy and sell shop in a downtown area. I've heard that her parents are rich and won't help her because she does drugs, but I don't know that for sure.

Next is Pylon Paul. I think this guy is really funny, he goes around and takes pylons and other traffic signal things and carries around with him in his shopping cart. I've only seen him once but a couple of my friends said they've seen him put down pylons in the middle of the road for no reason. He also has a Santa Claus beard. Obviously.

So does anyone else have well known hobo's like I do around where you live? I would love to hear stories.

I don't even have hobos in my town.

[Lost-Chances]

No hobos. There's too many snobbish people near where I live for there to be hobos.

When I was youngers I heard of a notorious hobo that used to live in the aria. I heard he used tos niff glue, was kins of creepy, he'd break car windows in the winter so he' get arrested and spend the night at the station to avoid freezing to death.

Than I heard he hung himself. Well apparently it was some auto erotic asphyxiation incident, I never actually saw him since he died my senior year in high school, but everyone seemed to know who this guy was. Sophomore year I learned that he was a cousin to my Sophomore English teacher... odd.

In my city (Wellington, New Zealand) there's this hobo called the blanket man. He's given that name because he wears nothing but underwear and a blanket he carries around everywhere. Sometimes though he isn't wearing the underwear and if he happens to adjust his blanket you'll see his dick, I haven't though luckily. Everyone knows him because anyone who's been around here more than a week will have seen him more than twice. He's also really friendly, he sits by himself and nods his head as if listening to music and as you walk past him if you look at him, he'll nod his head upwards in that "hello" sort of way.

He's really funny.

So we met up in London in January and there was this one guy who came along to us outside the Namco and he was all like "Can you rap?"

I believe that we christened him "BeatboxingHobo"

There is a hobo named Featherman that walks around downtown where I live.
He's called Featherman because he wears big ass bird feathers in his KC Chiefs hat.
My mom works at a bank downtown, and apparently there are enormous deposits made in this guy's name all the time.
I guess he's richer than rich, but just doesn't use it.
A bunch of the skater fags around my town made friends with him and he became a comedic staple of their shitty gay skater videos.

Over on the bad side of town(which is nearly all of it, mind you), there is man with dog who sells big issue and has a kickass mowhawk, there's guy with bugs bunny(full size) on the front of his bike and lastly there's rainbow trouser who likes to mutter to himself.

There is one popular hobo everyone loves here. He has a dog and a cat that he trained to walk on a leash. It's cute!

I laughed at the video, this guy is the funniest hobo in the thread so far. I'd like to see someone top this one.

When I worked at a department store we had one customer who at least smelled and looked like a hobo. We called him the leprechaun. He had gnarled fingers like roots, a whispy gray beard, wore an interesting cap. He emanated the smell of socks washed in pure sweat and left sitting for a month while you occasionally added feces.

It was horrendous.

[Echo-Konosko]

We have a hobo he steals our wood and patches of grass

[saltovergray]

There used to be a hobo who lived in the woods. He had and old desk and a broken printer for a home. I think he might have died in the winter.

Yes, we have a homeless man in Edinburgh who goes by the name of Beavertail. He received this moniker due to the long, beaver tail like hair he has. Basically, he has really long hair that has all matted together at the back. It's pretty funky. That's him below and yes, that really is hair.

I live in the ghetto, but I never see any hobos O_o
I mean, aren't there supposed to be hobos in the ghetto?
Wtf...

Well, I did see this one guy with a sign on the intersection.
