Words of Freedom from the hobo king

[Anonymous]

Sound like the lifestyle of Bill Gates, or Donald Trump?, well
hundreds of folks live that kind of life every day, in fact that kind
of life/culture has been going on since just after Americas' Civil
War. A lifestyle/culture so sweet, so addictive, so seductive, so
intoxicating, that those of us who retire after 20, 30, even 40 years
of are never really free of it. Because Lady Freedom has gotten too
far in our blood to gotten rid of her completely. Freedom, complete
freedom, and the ability to pursue that ultimate free life, and the
vehicle to propel you ion such a quest, and a constitutionally base
right to free movement. It's truly a drug, a greasy steely drug that
once it gets in your blood it's there for good, and no matte how
you've retired, no matter how much you deny it, you'll never be free
of it. Whenever you hear a train whistle, whenever you see a moving
train, or just train cars, or even train tracks, that longing in your
heart will tug at you so tight you'll realize that you're addicted for
life!

And due to the drivel that this alleged person constantly exudes, do we really care?

I get the same freedoms by owning my own company, living a responsible life, living within my budget, and planning for the future. And my ride comes with air conditioning, heat, fridge, reclining seats, and tunes. And safety.

I submit that a person that works their job and lives within their means is much more free than a stinking hobo who must freeload from others in order to survive (note that I did not say 'live').

Ya know. Ive never seen a hobo in Brunswick. I don't think their harvested around here...

Seriously, I use my freedom to legally enjoy trains, from a safe distance (Sometimes a litle less safe then usual) at the edge of public property. Its exciting, its fun, its LEGAL, its free...and I don't have to give up any time more than I want to sit by the tracks...

and by the way....I got a better view of the trains from trackside then I would from on the train! [:D][8D][}:)]

[dharmon]

To the tune of "King of the Road".....

....theft of service from the railroad
....it's my right to freeload
....it's all part of my code, cause
...I'm king of hobos

.....can't afford to pay or rent
....there's a can, another five cents
...I'm the pride of my parents, cause
...I'm king of hobos

....endangering others and me
....to preserve my colorful history
...completely disregarding legality, cause
...I'm king of hobos

....my contribution is minimal
...cause basically I'm a criminal
...things I do are unethical, but
..I'm king of hobos...

ALL TOGETHER NOW.....

...Rape, murder and sodomy
..I don't care as long as it's free
..This is the lifestyle for me, cause
..I'm king of hobos

Man,
You should take that on the road, do like a 10 city tour....
You could get Larry to play back up, I can do the bass, and my former helper was the drummer for the Edgar Winter Group....
Mookie and Paula as the female vocals, with the Big Z as the production manager...
You'd make millions...[:D]

A history is lost on those that forget it(or was that another post)but last I knew a Hobo was someone that was also a migrant worker.(dont make me get the big book of real railroad history out)and some 'bos would rather die than work but lets not lump them all together.Thats like saying all Irish drink beer( I prefer the Irish Coffee[}:)]) Come on this guy is trainfinder22 for one and two hes kinda a trip.Let him have his fun it might be therapy for him. Hell I run into toys r us and if I see a tickle me elmo I scream at the top of my lungs"TICKLE ME ELMO!COME ON TICKLE ME YOU LITTLE FREAK!"Then comment that it is defective to the first store employee I can find[}:)][(-D] Of course I usually get this[#dots] Have fun guys laugh at yourselves.
