Oh I wish I’d have thought of this. It’s just perfect. The bum’s hand.
MarquisdeJolie- please clarify any inaccuracies portrayed in this video. (He used to be homeless and has instructional videos on how to pick a good shopping cart).
Last week I wrote about our new hoverboard and gave you some tips to find the best one for the least money. Now that I’ve had a chance to acclimate myself to it, I thought it would be a good chance to read the owner’s manual. Typically I don’t notice owner’s manuals until I find…
My damned “expedited” Chumby is stuck in Anchorage (see UPS). For four days. You Chumby folks will get some good videos out of this if you send a couple extra ones. Stupid Anchorage. Her reply came from Anchorage, Alaska. It’s been over two years now my old friend. I took time out to write to…
I’m a bit late on my online-video predictions for 2010 (unless you count this December post). The landscape continues to change, and it seems the world has been slow to catch up with my 2008 and 2009 predictions. Heck I even made a video in 2006 predicting 2007. Here’s what I’m seeing in Online Video…
Isn’t it true that the hard videos are never as popular as the easy ones. This video of Rusty and Triscuit (pets of babysitter of nalts) was viewed nearly 700,000 times on Yahoo Video. But my more recent video, “Confessions” was far more complicated, and has been seen 25K views. Well congratulations, sweet Rusty. You…
This is a real Google Chrome operating system promotion created by engineers and posted on YouTube. The good news? They set a low bar for consumers to create their own YouTube commercials. And maybe that thankless job of being a Google marketer will improve, as the product and engineer-driven company may finally recognize marketing as…
Try not to cry. I dare you. A girl in North Carolina asks Santa for her dad’s return from Iraq. Santa removes his beard and she gets her wish.

Hahaha! Ah, this reminds me of the good old days on the nickel. (“On the nickel” is street jargon for a skid row area of downtown Los Angeles where the shelter and food mission was….Fifth and Los Angeles Street)
“Shootin’ the squares” (shocking the homefuls by purposely trying to disgust them with our snot or whatever was at hand) was what some of us homeless people did for entertainment.
Is there a link to a story about you being homeless that I can read?
Same place as the WTF video…you might have to dig through my archives. I have a series written WHILE I was driving callgirls, WHILE I was homeless, WHILE I was living on and off in a crack motel, WHILE I was living in an RV behind a gas station and WHILE I was living in a homeless veterans shelter.
An overview: http://marquisdejolie.blogspot.com/2006/07/homeless-and-wired.html
Why do homeless people call people who have homes “homefuls.” How about hommies? How about homebos?
There is much antipathy towards homefuls from the homeless and for good reasons. The ‘full’ in ‘homeful’ has a connotation of ‘full of it’ We tried ‘homeshits’ and ‘homeasses’, but those monikers were just tacky. Homefuls were ALWAYS causing us trouble and pain. The LAST thing we would dream of calling them was ‘hommies’!
Do you know why homeless people are generally a little crazy? You try changing your mailing address every 72 hours forever and ever as required by law when you’re homeless.
Did you know that a homeless person can have his car impounded if he sleeps in it between 10 pm and 6 am in many Los Angeles suburbs? Did you know that YOUR car can be impounded if YOU sleep in it between 10 pm and 6 am in many Los Angeles suburbs? Did you know that it is a crime to be homeless, punishable by 40 hours of community service. Did you know that it is a crime to impersonate a homeless person in parts of L.A.?
