Beer Gollum

 

Hanging outside the Quickie Mart drinking beer and eating funyuns is something that only happens to two types of people; teenagers in bad 80’s films as they talk about girls or to serious drinkers who buy their beer 40oz at a time and don’t want to be more than 10 steps from their next big beer gulp.  If Icees came in beer flavor this man would give the spigot a hummer till brain freeze incapacitated him.

Written by Wayne   
Monday, 12 May 2008
Image The past twelve months have brought us into contact with a varied assortment of street people from the hustlers in New Orleans who descended on the city to mooch of the aid offered to the victims of the hurricane to the ones we discovered in North Carolina that are celebrated by an annual event on local college campuses. Although we found some unique street people, some who shared secret knowledge of the bum code of the road, only one street person stood out this year. What makes someone qualified to be street person of the year? Read, learn, and aspire because our 2008 Street Person has big dreams fueled by big bottles of whiskey.

The BoxmanYou will find them in nearly every city:  the homeless, the disenfranchised, panhandlers, hobos and bums.  Street people.  They will ask you for absolutely anything:  spare change, a cigarette, a light, the time of day.  They may even tell you an elaborate story about their plight involving a broken down car and a pregnant wife.

Every time you walk down the street, you are almost certain to be accosted by a street person begging for something, and each encounter raises a personal dilemma: "Is this a scam, or is this person truly needy?"

Street-People.com was created to chronicle the stories of the homeless and raise awareness of the continuing problem of homelessness through the use of humor. Here they are entertainment, like creatures in an online petting zoo without the urine smell.
