Meet $2 Guy

This guy resides Uptown Waterloo, wherever he feels like. He stumbles around with a shopping cart with that sign attached to it (usually drunk as fuck). I just thought I'd introduce you to a local celebrity...anyone have any famous bums in their areas?

 

That sounds kind of smart. If several people just think 'Oh, just two dollars' and gets a bunch, he can totally bank!

 

I bet that guy makes a killing.

I don't give to people with signs, and I only give food too others.

 

we had a local who walked around the farmlands here and highway trying to hitch/get $. he's known as "the guy with the orange hat" and also "that guy who got arrested and had $20k in his briefcase."

legend.

edit: it's bookbag not briefcase sorry
:sifone:

 

Thats odd, though i would totally give him a ride every day. I love picking people up.

 

we got a crackhead who i didnt even know was a crackhead... he always sits in front of this place and plays kickass music on hees guitar. oh theres also this guy who has a kennel built on his bike and him and his dog are always cruisin around..

and in my hometown theres Droop, he's been riding his bike eeverywhere. my mom punched his sister on the bus once when they were in high school. lol

 

theres a dude that used to sit outside of a mcdonald's downtown that used to ask for money for a "down payment on a double cheese burger"

he got busted when he was seen walking around the corner and getting into a Beamer

 

haha...thats fucked up

 

yeah, and it happens a lot in KC, it's weird

that's why i am usually pretty hesitant to give change from my car, but if i have it in my pocket i usually hand it out

i felt pretty bad ass by giving a handful of change from my ashtray to a bum on graduation night, ahah

 

yeah we've got this guy called moses of kingston, he looks almost exactly like purpbythepounds avatar, and always walks around in strange outfits, heres him trying to look like the cat in the hat:


a typical conversation with moses goes either like:

"you're a good looking boy, but be careful cos so's she you can't trust women, im a good looking guy, but no women, you have nice hair, i mean, you have a shit haircut...it looks good and everything, but its a shit haircut don't ever get it cut leave it like that. have a nice day" or a variation of this

or he'll be talking about how racist everything and everyone is, and telling you that, like him, you won't be able to get a job cos your black (regardless of whether you are or not)

he always wears these crazy outfits mixing up like american football stuff, horse riding gear, tartan stuff, full tuxedos with wellington boots and massive hats and changes them every day, he assigns new names to everyone he meets, and talks at length about their friend "bob" who no-one ever knows. weird thing about him, he can't be a tramp, cos hes been known to give out money to people in the street (mainly based on how good he thinks their hair is) so he must have some cash on him. first time i ever heard of him, he walked into the council office building and announced "thank you all!" they asked what for and he shouted "FOR SAVING THE WORLD!!" legend.

hes got an appreciation group on facebook for pics and moses-isms and that:

There's a crackhead thats always walking around and I see her everywhere. Like my city is pretty big and I've seen her in 4 different parts of it.

In my area, up the mountain, downtown, in the south end. It's really weird. We call her Stinky.

 

there's a guy living in austin named leslie cochran. ive seen him a few times when i rid the bus downtown.

i saw him the other day wearing a vest and ladie's panties with boots.



he has a wiki entry as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie_Cochran


seems like a cool guy. id smoke him out

 

That is too fucking funny.

 

Theres a bum by my Toys R Us store who wrote all of the Beatles' songs. They stole them from him. But he is one hell of a guitar player.

 

That's just too funny. :smilielol5:

 

i love interesting people

 

I lived in a bum-friendly part of California, so we had some really memorable ones. The "wizard" would stand out on corners shouting "the vegetables eat the minerals, we kill the animals" and pass out these hand written flyers with gibberish on them about how he discovered the secret was to eat the minerals in dirt just like the vegtetables.

We also had a guy named pirate with one eye. He'd do the trick where'd he smoke a cigarette out his eye and blow out the smoke from his mouth. I'm pretty sure he was just holding a hit in his lungs and pretending to smoke out of the eye, but I never was too sure.

Yeah, they're local celebrities.

 

Me and my friends used to hang out around Syracuse Uni a lot a few years back.
And one day we met this crazy dude named Randi Allen Hickman who thought he was an alien. He is not exactly famous except among me and my friends.

That is the video when we met him, he followed us around that day until we had to just go into a store and ditch him because he wouldn't leave us alone.

 

The Polish Pirate.. Pirate Steve(named waaaay before Steve the Pirate from dodgeball).. he can be caught walking around town at times with his hookah.. been doin it for decades..

 

theres a bum that pushes a cart full of bottles/cans that everyone knows as the can man.
