Sigh. I miss the Little Gray Book lectures. (Although not enough to move back to NY.) Thanks for this, tristeza.

I almost fell down at "hobo zero" but "Sweet Daddy Champagne" and "James Finnimore Cooper" were great too.

I preordered this book on Amazon months ago, hope it's funnier than this piece...

There is no such thing as a "hobo" name.

If there's no such thing as a hobo name, how do you explain those SEVEN HUNDRED hobo names, huh? That's like saying there's no such thing as a Jedi name! Of course there's such a thing as a Jedi name! I got a Jedi name! Nyah! I even got my own cyborg name!
