-The term ‘hobo’ came about in the northwest United States in the late 1800’s.
-Strictly speaking, a hobo is a homeless person that travels from place to place to find temporary work. The Spanish word for hobo is obrero temporal. In Arabic it is almutasharid.
-Hobos tended to avoid the South because they would be sent to forced-labor camps.
-The National Hobo Convention takes place every year in Britt, Iowa.
-Robert “Sidetrack” Silveria Jr. was a serial killer that admitted to killing 28 fellow hobos before he turned himself in. He is currently serving two life sentences in Wyoming.
-Famous individuals that lived the lifestyle for a period of time include Jack Dempsey, Louis L’Amour, Jack London, George Orwell, Robert Mitchum, William O. Douglas and of course, Woody Guthrie and Jack Kerouac.
-During the Great Depression it was estimated that as many as two million men resorted to ‘hobo-ing’.
-“Wild Boys of the Road”, a 1933 film about teenage boys forced to adopt the lifestyle due to financial pressure, has an 88% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
TO THE GAME!
Eagles/Niners:
-Here’s the Philly wr corpse-Ward, Hightower, Burnette, Fulgham and Butler. Aside from Ward they have 18 receptions this year. As well, Jason Peters was just put on IR and they only have 3 healthy corners.
-Deebo is back on a limited snap count and Kittles owners aren’t feeling as helpless as a kitten up a tree.
-Mullens threw for 343 and a TD last week without those weapons but it was the porous Giants so take that with a grain of something.
-Wentz has thrown two interceptions in each game this year-expect that to continue.
Have at it.
Ok, that Iggle drive was more in line with expectation
Nice. A series without fake crowd noise
Aiyuk’s hurdle was much higher than all the ones the medical staff at Walter Reed have failed at in treating the President so far.
I should have become an orthopaedic surgeon, that’s clearly where the big money is
WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT STAB THAT MOTHERFUCKER
/scotchy gets erect
Neighbor’s dog, which is smaller than a football, just tried the whole Scrappy Doo, I’ll-kick-your-ass routine on me. Yappy little fuck — I’ve had shits bigger than you. I mean, it wasn’t fun or anything, but I got through it.
I like dogs, but that kind I could do without.
Slay update: Slain
That there is some good tacklin!
CUM DOWN
Oh fuck that’s gonna be a gif
That’s more like it!
and an excellent vault – somebody’s gonna be on sportscenter tonight
Fuck it. Just run Wildcat the rest of the night
The safest thing for our troops is not to be deployed to quagmire wars
Wow. Wentz got in there untouched. Nick Bosa’s off punching his wall and hastily re-hanging the MAGA poster that fell off
DakotaJeezusdown!
There goes the shutout
Need that KSK video of a Rivers fade with Float On playing for that pass
I decided that I earned a bonus pill, by attempting to stay awake through this. For the sake of the morning column
Hartford Athletic scores to take a 2-0 lead against Red Bulls 2, all but clinching first place in their group and cementing a home game in the USF(?)* play-offs.

There are more words in that opening sentence than there are people in the stands for this game.
*Whatever they call the league one step below MLS and one step above Special Olympics.
It’s the USL and Hartford is my club!
When you’re technically a professional footballer, but still not good enough for MLS??
Announcers are implying that some of them have commitments to local colleges, which seems like a violation by one or both parties.
I saw that. They were up 3-1 at the time. my solution would have been to run that lead up to 6 or 7-1, then start fights on the field but then, I’ve never been one for the high road.
Very happy Landon Donovan did that. It was a superb move.
Hello again, you wonderful fucks.
‘Wonderful seems a stretch”
-My wife, probably
I feel like the despair-filled eyes in tonight’s entries are more honest than the usual sexy fodder I see on here
Matt Patricia canned tomorrow?
I certainly hope they do it soon. I don’t even want to think of what that useless sack of meat would smell like if left out long enough to spoil.
Would single-handedly revive the steel industry, too
Speaking of, would seem that neither Auburn nor LSU is any good this season. Just have the fuckers play the assdicks from Clemson already.
“As Jesus intended” – D. Sweeney
Would they do it in Wichita?
Both these “offenses” would do well to consider the quick kick.
Browns dropped at least 30 picks today and Wentz has a linebacker make a diving fingertip catch on one. Love the football.
At some point, I am going to forget to put the sound on, and keep reading my book. Like some kind of homer sexual smh.
That looks like an interception, but since the NFL is ‘Schroedinger’s Catch’ on all of these replays, who can say for sure?
I had the TV on mute for the Bills game. Did they ever explain why that John Brown catch wasn’t a td?
He was uppity about it.
/why it took like 7 minutes to determine same?
She’s seen some shit.
Charges extra for it, though.

Mother of God, our air quality index is 213. The statement says it’s unhealthy to an emergency level. I ain’t gonna be able to walk for weeks at this rate. Fucking hell.

You guys just missed a kind of funny Simpsons
Blind squirrels find a nut very once in a while.
I suspect that the percentage of Simpsons episodes I have seen has now dropped below 50. I’m not one of those “everything after season X sucks” people, but I just kind of stopped watching and haven’t missed it. But I like the idea that I’ve got like ten years of “new to me” episodes to binge watch someday.
Gonna have to get Herman Cain’s team an account on here for these posthumous Seamus posts
Well, OK, but I’m gonna want change.
This is gonna be a shitshow
This is gon’ be as ugly as a 5 dollar whore
MICHAELS AND COLLINSWORTH WEARING MASKS? STICK TO SPROTS!1!
Fuck Trump. The asshole went on a vanity ride in the presidential limo to go see and wave at his fuckhead supporters. The car is hermetically sealed, which means the Secret Service agents in the car have been exposed, and now need to quarantine.
That is reckless endangerment at best.
/political rant
That could also be his campaign slogan
At least none of the supporters were wearing masks and can ship off to Valhalla with him
You have to be willing to fight to get into Valhalla, so I don’t see Trumpkins making the cut.
Trump Supporters: “Of course the cops had to shoot that guy in the back fifty times! He had a marijuana possession conviction on his record, and was walking in the direction of a Sur La Table, where they sell knives! BLUE LIVES MATTER!”
Also Trump Supporters: “Who gives a fuck if Trump endangered his Secret Service detail? THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WERE SIGNING UP FOR!”
Do they have Carrie Underwood record that “the ___ and the ____ in a prime time showdown” line like 20 different times? Or more, depending on flex games? Or do they dub it in somehow? I am strangely curious about this.
It sounds like they recorded the original and punch in the custom lines each week.
To be fair, nothing is popular in Philadelphia, except misery and angst.
Gritty slumps away sadly, as the “Incredible Hulk” TV sad piano music starts to play.
Scrapple, pork roll, wooder ice
Fun fact: I have to focus every time I say the word “water” or everyone will look at me like I’m a fucking moron.
Cheez whiz sad-wiches?
BOOING SANTA CLAUS AND THROWING BATTERIES AT JD DREW BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH
Rocky.
I’m getting the feeling that “Hey, Tom Brady’s initials are the same as Tampa Bay’s!” is the new “Ryan Fitzgerald went to Harvard” or “Jerome Bettis is from Detroit!”
Don’t forget the classic “Jimmy Graham played basketball!”
WAIT WHAT?
How much coke is THE OL’ DOUBLE J rage-snorting tonight?
Hope he brought enough for his consolation hookers.
He’s absolutely going to kill a hooker tonight.
Somehow ended up +$10 in DFS today. PRAISE GAMBLOR!
drinks on sharky tonight, wooooooooooo
I guess we’ll see for T.O. for the Cowboys/Bengals game.
NXT is apparently having a thing tonight and has a title match featuring two people I’ve never heard of named Santos Escobar and Isaiah Scott. Anyway, here’s Shane Strickland as Killshot vs. El Hijo De Fantasmo as King Cuerno from Lucha Underground.

Zero reason TO couldn’t start for the Eagles tonight
Ah, simpler times, when our Diva Wide Receivers would undermine their quartered backs and call them gay, and then take their shirts off in public in front of a bunch of sweaty guys instead of murdering hookers or whatever Antonio Brown ended up doing.
Outside of his problematic shit with Garcia, TO’s gotta be one of the cleanest “locker room cancer” types, right? I always empathized with him because his childhood was completely fucked and it always surprised me he didn’t end up becoming a serial killer or some shit.
This could also be the Jeff Garcia bowl.
I was expecting more killin’ in my Sunday Night Hobo Stew…
Nice hobo info sheet there. Cool hobo movies might well be considered as a future post topic.
SALT! Take it with a grain of SALT!
