-The term ‘hobo’ came about in the northwest United States in the late 1800’s.
-Strictly speaking, a hobo is a homeless person that travels from place to place to find temporary work. The Spanish word for hobo is obrero temporal. In Arabic it is almutasharid.
-Hobos tended to avoid the South because they would be sent to forced-labor camps.
-The National Hobo Convention takes place every year in Britt, Iowa.
-Robert “Sidetrack” Silveria Jr. was a serial killer that admitted to killing 28 fellow hobos before he turned himself in. He is currently serving two life sentences in Wyoming.
-Famous individuals that lived the lifestyle for a period of time include Jack Dempsey, Louis L’Amour, Jack London, George Orwell, Robert Mitchum, William O. Douglas and of course, Woody Guthrie and Jack Kerouac.
-During the Great Depression it was estimated that as many as two million men resorted to ‘hobo-ing’.
-“Wild Boys of the Road”, a 1933 film about teenage boys forced to adopt the lifestyle due to financial pressure, has an 88% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
TO THE GAME!
Eagles/Niners:
-Here’s the Philly wr corpse-Ward, Hightower, Burnette, Fulgham and Butler. Aside from Ward they have 18 receptions this year. As well, Jason Peters was just put on IR and they only have 3 healthy corners.
-Deebo is back on a limited snap count and Kittles owners aren’t feeling as helpless as a kitten up a tree.
-Mullens threw for 343 and a TD last week without those weapons but it was the porous Giants so take that with a grain of something.
-Wentz has thrown two interceptions in each game this year-expect that to continue.
Have at it.
Remember, I started Nick Mullens over Wentz in part based on the wisdom of this crowd
But we’re all idiots!
Y’all don’t want to listen to my advice to never listen to our advice
That’s on you. Always do the opposite of us.
Buddy, if you have Nick Mullens and Carson Wentz on your team you are beyond help anyway.
Straight jacket?
The Blair Walsh Bowl
New season of SBSP looks different.
My bad, coach. (Part two)
Why did they play the first 3 quarters again? They clearly just needed this one.
Extended warmup.
Filler between truck, insurance, and piss-flavored water ads
Beat oven
Hippo judges this.
Beat hard down
Edit: Didn’t beat hard enough
Last week was the first time in a while since I saw a gif or jpeg of her, and after being sick of seeing her all over tumblr and elsewhere I’m onboard again.
Beat Harder!
Dammit
That’s better
But failed to penetrate the end zone on that conversion
The Kaepernick Curse rolls on.
Well, I guess Mullins will have to go back to his music career:

Guess it’s time for the Niners to sign Stavros Halkias to play QB.
Staavy baby
Ian Fidance knows how to stack nine men in the box.
Collin Kaepernick head explodes off screen in front of Congress

Beat Hard sighting!
good lord is there anything this woman can do and not look adorable AND hot at the same time?
Pfffft. More like the ’06rs
Holy shit. I forgot we still had BeatHard.
C J Beat hard !!!
BEAT HARD
I need some recovery here, pal.
Iggles going to win the east on a tie tie breaker?
That’s actually what happened after the famous McNabb tie
Mullenscepted!
That was ugly.
I would have made it the whole way on the Oregon Trail if those barrels of Fulghum hadn’t fallen out of the wagon when we crossed the river.
You won in the end by not making it to Oregon.
Seems like SF’s QB would like a …. Mulligan on that throw.
(puts on sunglasses)
I cannot hear variances of this joke enough. [mashes plus one, ruin mouse…. again]
Gonna be hilarious if the only team from the NFC West to lose to the East is the Santa Clara Forty Niners.
Wow, that oughtta do it.
THINKING ABOUT THE SUPER BOWL
Oh FFS

Aw, how disappointing that the NFC might not go winless this week
Not over yet.
Ok now it is
Since these are both NFC teams…..
I forgot the word ‘East’ although I guess you could say it’s implied
More blood for the blood god
NFC East! Catch the excite!
ok
My bad, coach.
I just left watching this game for 40 mins and came back to the same score. Didn’t miss a thing.
Jinxed it…..
Got back just in time, lol
Carson Wentz has put up 11 points on a 3rd-string defense and Cris is sucking his dick like it’s his job.
If the girls I went to high school with had the same standards that Cris apparently has then maybe ‘Captain of the Debate and Dungeons & Dragons clubs’ wouldn’t have been quite the dead end I found it to be.
Cris just loves sucking QB dick. Any QB dick will do
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:
if collinsworth sucked as many actual dicks as he does metaphorical ones, he’d make Asa Akira blush
I can see why, she seems very reserved.
Check out the facial expression of the hoodie dude
Stamp club and Chess club, for me.
Ah, the thinking man’s sport

I was in a lot of stuff, but my favorite one was the Get High in the Parking Lot Before School Club.
An interesting point about those insane plays he was making in that highlight reel they just showed is that he lost all those games. I kind of wonder if he’s becoming a headcase because he doesn’t really get rewarded with success when he does some superhero shit. Meanwhile, he has a team with a HIGHLY SUSPECT POSSIBLY TERRORISTIC training staff that at one point sort of lied to him about having a broken back and leaves him with like 30% of a team every season.
Can we just lock up everyone in the NFL except the players?
The NFL is keeping Hollywood Upstairs Medical School in business
Dungeons & Dragons & Debate? Reminds me of this:

She took some shit for posting that on Instagram, and when that news broke I thought it was weird too, but that I also thought ‘hey, you know what, I’ve never had a miscarriage so maybe I’ll sit this one the fuck out’ and I feel like that was the right choice.
Jason Whitlock, however, had other thoughts
He wanted to eat it?
If only he was just that stupid
He and I had the same thoughts about her posting the pictures from the ER/surgical room, but only one of us had the decency to realize we had no idea what she might have been feeling during such a loss, and while I am not used to being the decent one, I am here to tell you that out-decencing Jason Whitlock is a low, low, low bar.
That’s how I feel about it too.
My mom miscarried before she had me. It just happens, like you said.
I remember my mom having one when I was 7ish and I know it fucked her up, but she’s pretty fucked up anyway, so it’s hard to say how much because my mother is very fucked up as a baseline. They’re very common on my wife’s side of the family along with other pregnancy complications. It was a constant source of fear during her pregnancy with our son.
How sad for you both.
Apparently a lot of miscarriages happen so early that the woman may not even know that she’s pregnant yet. Wikipedia says that 30% -40% of fertilized eggs miscarry. It’s not unusual, it seems.
This is why I’m leading twbs through hell and you’re a nice guy that finds quality pics.
This ad for The Voice telling me that the full video is available on YouTube seems more like a threat than guidance.
All I could think of while watching that was last week’s brilliant Christy Tiegen joke.
Nuts. I missed that one.
They’re 44 mi from the location of these aerial shots.
I hate that shit

Oh, we’re not doing that anymore. My apologies.
They do the same thing for the Patriots. Always showing shots of Boston. Providence is closer to Foxboro and has some cool old buildings and nice places that would show well. Fuck, they haven’t been the BOSTON Patriots for half a century.
I think I’ve mentioned this before but I nearly started a brawl at a trivia contest when the guy running it claimed that Foxboro was in the Greater Boston area.
Justifiable homicide
Not to mention the teams/production crew all stay in Providence
This must be an exciting year for the practice squad dudes, they’re ALL gonna get to start before the end of the season
I’ve contacted my old college buddy to let drew rosenhaus know I’m available for when teams come calling
month of macabre continues…..
I always really like blair witch, and I’ve always resented the attitude towards it. it was a relatively novel concept that did a lot with very little.
maybe it’s my time hiking as a youth that made me all to aware of how quickly things can go bad when you’re out in the woods by yourself, but as missing person cases continue to happen into the new century, blair witch seemed more plausible than not.
like the reveal of Luke’s father in empire, it’s all but been ruined by parody
I liked that Blair Witch was shot in Maryland! I think it was ruined by the pre-release hype. People came in with really unrealistic expectations.
I think part of the problem is that it’s not very rewatchable. A lot of the enjoyment the first time comes from the tension of waiting for something to happen — someone to jump out of the bushes or whatever. The first time you watch it, the film gets a ton of mileage out of essentially no action scenes. But the second time you watch it, you know nothing’s going to happen until the end, and all the tension is gone.
When I first watched it I thought it was real. Blew my mind.
I had a similar experience to dunstan, a lot of hype and a lot of tension.
I don’t think I ever really thought it could be real, but the lack of an actual monster sighting made it scarily real
The sequel didn’t help any. Holy god was that awful.
I’m paraphrasing something I saw on twitter, but basically I don’t understand why the witch is the bad guy in Blair Witch. The kids came into her woods, knocked over her totems, and generally made asses of themselves. She moved to the woods and left signs up saying ‘fuck around and find out’ and they fucked around and found out.
That describes a lot of horror movies
The gold panties make that photo
That’s just paint
Even better!
I’ll need to go under cover to check
I stand corrected
For giggles, here’s the list of workers that are already exempt from AB 5:
So basically everyone?
I don’t see strippers there…
Unless they’re stripping at a certified motor club
Bullshit. You’re like that kid in ‘The Sixth Sense’: you see strippers everywhere.
This deserves a banner
You know who got fucked the hardest by this independent contractor stuff during the pandemic? Hairdressers, estheticians, tattooists, and manicurists.
Competition judge? For some reason, that one made me snortlaugh. Could be the weed(it’s the weed.)
Me. freelancing my way to fortune judging pulling contests at county fairs.
Yeah, I said “pulling contests”; do with that what you will, degenerates.
Do you give extra points for the “Stranger Danger”?
Meanwhile Uber drivers cannot do their job without the app, which makes their “independent” status a total fraud.
I’m guessing they’ll go to a franchise model if 22 doesn’t pass
That’s how service industry workers get screwed, and no one’s bothering to advocate for them
Speaking of Uber and Prop 22, I wonder if all the strippers in California moved to Nevada…
Oh that looks tasty
Thank you for your service.
pictures like this make me think society is too hard on those who would purchase a woman’s bathwater

She’s a gem. My brother did shoots with her years ago.
