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.

This is wonderful. #71: Canadian Football Pete #82: Stick-Legs McOhio #93: Ovid #127: Terri Gross #147: Jetho the Pagan ... but you can only listen to this for so long...

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!
