Conspiratorially creating a hobo-language for paranoids. And you thought your warchalking card was geek chic. Now the paranoids can join in the fun. Also, for the thrifters: Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie: An Effective, Low-Cost Solution To Combating Mind-Control.

Long before this, real hobos used symbols to communicate with each other, as a means of helping each other survive.

(of course, please forgive me if that was redundant)

Ignore paranoids at your own risk.

They're rather smarter than most Metafilter posters, I think.

Hey, I'm both paranoid and a metafilter poster.

Does that make me smarter than *everyone*?

Or does it, paradoxically, make me smarter than myself?

Now wait a minute, did you come up with that statement to purposefully confuse me and get my mind running in circles!?

You're all against me! I *knew* it!
