Ask a (formerly) homeless (pseudo-)bum anything

Dear Homeless Bum,

Did you notice the hatred for Facebook (and twitter) posted recently? I personally find it strange that we are using a internet based forum to bitch about an internet forum. There are very large and very real differences between these two.

1. Facebook requires you to post actually identity. (Largest turn off for me.)

2. It is possible to be anti-social, as many of us are, but still interact using Off-Topic due to its lack of identity.

3. Facebook is wide open to the world, even if you think your privacy settings strict. Employers now scrutinize social media for better or worse (worse, diffidently worse) We post photos and private information. Things that use to be kept to a select few.

4. Off-Topic has allowed me to find kindred spirits around the world that I need not know every last detail of their lives. I can choose to read or to not read their posts. I can choose or not to reply. But I am drawn to several with similar sense of humor. That I find is the most important factor in friendship. Even at work, I am drawn to and interact more with those that share my humor. Plenty of others share my other interests, but I have no want to spend time with them.

So my question is...,

Spoiler
Is it warm where you are. Its totally fucking miserable here!
Have you heard of an underground fight club called "bum fights"?

Would you ever consider participating in such an exploitation of others suffering for a profit?

If so, do you have any representation?

Has the sport of Crack Baby Basketball encroached on the amateur leagues of bum fighting?

Dear homeless bum

How does your typical daily routine look like? And BTW what state are you from because I forgot? Have you thought about starting a guide to being homeless blog for some adsense pennies?
Be ready. You're not paranoid, you're PREPARED.

I quit this game every few months and so should you to continue playing it in the future.

The device is believed to have been dropped

This question is for Chris.

Now that Scrotie is homeless, might be a good time to offer him a job in NZ with GGG. He has solid ideas and a great understanding on the current game systems.

Seems like a no-brainer to me.

HIRE SCROTIE! Do it!

I reside in/near sunny El Paso, Texas.

Also: don't be such a noob. You don't have to put your real name in the blanks; I could sign up for Facebook right now using the name Scrotie McBoogerballs and the original airdate of the corresponding South Park episode as day of birth (probably would use a different year). You create one real Facebook for official use and viewing, and pseudonym Facebooks as necessary to brag about your drug/fetish behavior as appropriate. Ain't rocket surgery.

I've heard of it, but I don't think they operate in my area. You'd probably have to go somewhere further north, where the severely addicted bums get colder and thus more desperate, for the proper level of... enthusiasm.

Nevertheless, I'm actually far more intrigued in participation than I probably should be. I am an Army veteran after all, and the prospect of fighting a lineup of malnourished, strung-out strawmen is my kind of odds. That, and my inner Tyler Durden doesn't mind losing a fight now and then. I could easily serve as my own agent.

Like frog baseball, crack baby basketball is just an ill-conceived sport. Gooey things which splat all over pavement/bats don't make good sporting goods.

I don't really have a routine. I make big use of the Calendar app onthe phone to juggle the highly variable things I'm up to, so I guess my routine is continuously updating my Calendar so it can remind me what to do next. I don't know how I'd function without it, or without my car charger.

I'd rather get some real PoE content up for AdSense money, but that's in a month or two when I'm back to being normal.
When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.
