Going hobo/going Calandale

[Buxton]

Buxton, I think you're an idiot.

Too far mannn, too farrr.

 

[Cleaning agent]

Any self respecting non-retard knows that being homeless isn't great.

I think he knows that. It's just for a week, not forever. It'll help him get a perspective on things, and it'll be with friends, so it's more like an adventure than an ordeal.

 

[Sir Timothi]

Comparing giving yourself a permanent cancer and pretending to be homeless?

Go bloody camping then, jeez.

 

[Llew2]

Camping gets old. Besides, it's not that much of an adventure. You always have food and a bed.

 

[Yeyinde]

Interesting to see the arguments for and against my... Adventure.

I bet I could do fairly well on the finding food front. Lots of Rabbits here in Saskatchewan, and some farmers will pay to have their infestation exterminated. Nothing better than getting payed to eat.

 

[Yeyinde]

AND kill stuff.

That's where it's at.

Who said anything about permanent? Just have it for a few weeks until it's boring, it'll really give you a new perspective on cancer patients. You could just get a cold, but then there's no risk of dying and you don't get to have people worry about you.

Rarely is Cancer temporary. But I guess I see what you mean.

 

[Yeyinde]

I'd really, really like to have very serious cancer for a week, if it wouldn't kill me, and disappeared completely after the week.

Just to see what it's like.

But then again, I'd also like to light myself on fire, and put a nail through my hand and into a wall, and have both my legs broken, so they bent the wrong way.

Not at once though, and the reason I won't do those things, is because they'd give me permanent damages/handicaps, and could kill me.

 

[Redcoat-Mic]

So basically you lack the ability to think what things would be like without actually doing them.

 

[Yeyinde]

Partially, I guess.

I just would like to try and grab a hammer and a nail, palm against the wall, and then put the nail right through the center of my hand, just to stand and stare at it, and wonder "Why the hell did I do that?"

 

[Sir Timothi]

Between the sobs of pain and spurts of blood, you mean?

This all comes down to my first point, doesn't it.

 

[kurczak]

He is fifteen and want to live......I did the same things when I was his age...

Maxmilian: don't fraternise with dealers or obvious junkies, that could get really nasty. And don't accept any suspicious offers like "you can sleep at my box" or something like that. Treat hobos like your equals, don't despise them and don't try to be a messiah who "has deep feeling for the unfortunate ones" or any other sissy pseudointellectual crap. When approached this way cruhing majority of hobos is just fine, they like to talk, especially after being given a cigarette or something

 

[Yeyinde]

@ Kurczak:

That was exactly my plans/thoughts.

But thanks

 

[ttsec]

And every hobo is armed with at least a knife. Always remember that.

 

[gamerwiz09]

Keep a journal and then share it with us once you're done. I wanna see how it went.

 

[Sir Timothi]

And make sure you don't accidentally sleep in someone's corner. There's a whole Hobo hierarchy that your not aware of.
