No no no... lets get this Wobble proper.

Your on foot (love that btw), with your family, holding a apple pie, going to Walmart to buy a American Flag for your porch, because you have had it up before the neighbors and the terrorist attacks, and it's dang near worn out from flying it so often as a kung-fu fighting American.

Then a bum, not frail at all, pry a weight lifter strung out on steroids, stricken with warts, aids, and hepatitis C, attacks your family out of the blue, because he has a keen sense of who wants him electrocuted for being homeless.

He grabs your arm, while thinking about reaching for a LONG bladed folding knife, and you tear off your shirt all sweaty and quickly consult your vast knowledge of Arizona assault laws, somewhat confused. Unfortunately for him, being reactionary is not taught in schools, or Yale, and the superior manly bum fighting genes kick in and you knock him unconscious. Saving not only your wife, who is on foot (the horse was sick?) but losing his felon grip on your arm, and getting statements from the crowd who agree he had ‘bad intent’.

You left out what kind of car you drive. A 120mph pickup would be sweet.

That would be a great Law and Order episode.

Creamo...I think you are confusing a certain Northwestern-state dwelling, aircraft manufacturing employee with a certain shirtless, sweatly, 4x4 driving, pepper spray can shooting Texan in your above story.

Geesh....this BBS really needs TheWobble back.

A good majority of them are mentally ill people,who end up on the street after getting turned down treatment from mental institutions.

Steve,be sure to tell your hockey playing cop friends that if you ever become critically injured and declared brain dead..That under NO circumstances should you be placed in the ROBO-COP program...You were obviously severely traumatised by a street bum and you might have flashbacks and malfunction in the line of duty.

That's one of the things that made it so inspiring! Somehow, Creamo managed to take three unique characters with three disparate stories and carefully weave them into a single breathtaking portrait of heroism; completing in its wake a veritable trifecta of hoopty-stick macho vigilantism - Aces High BBS style. A remarkable and stunning piece of literature.

Wish I had a buck for every laugh I've gotten out of these bbs. Man I'll miss my Internet when I move.

I'm moving to Mendocino County, located on the North Coast of California in the heart of the Redwood Empire. Where I'll most likely be the only phone service I'll have is my cell phone and they're a few years away from cable television. I'll have Internet access at work (good news) but I won't have access to the computer at work (bad news).

We had one escrow that fell through, but with luck our place should sell in the next couple of weeks. Once we enter escrow I'll be up there during the week working and home on weekends. I lost a major account here in Sacramento and my daughter is off to college in the Fall so there's really no reason to stay here any longer.

Grim, of course you're right about not all bums are lazy losers but I have no idea how to discern one group from the other. So it's hard to have compassion for the truly unfortunate... you know.. how do you tell?
as for my death penalty text .. well it sort of served a dual purpose. I was happy to see left wing whackos like Sirloin, SOB and Creamo rise to the chum.
Really though, it's metaphorical. What I mean is.. panhandlers are a blight, but what to do with them is a conundrum. You can't fine them for panhandling, they have no attachable assets. Imprisoning them means they get 3 hots and a cot.. not really punishment, considering their existence. I'd like to see some suitable punishment for panhandling that would serve as an effective deterrent. Maybe have them sit in a room for a few hours w/ Creamo and Sirloin.. I know that would drive me to the brink.
