Garbage Gut Sam Swamp-azz Jim Saggy Pants Phil Soot-faced Willie Flea-bitten Fred Limpin Gene Scroggins I like these! Especially Limpin Gene Scroggins, but I don't know why. Yes, Beerball is already a good hobo name. I wanted to include him, but didn't know how. I tried "Beerball the Nose Whistler (and everybody can hear it but him)" but it did not make the cut.

Chilly Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 How the fug did I get roped into this? Obviously because you're the most amorous of us all. I think Beerball's is more like: Beerball, 'nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Real bum names from the 70's: "Dirty Denny" Evans "Flash" McKelvey "Catcrusher" "Flash" did not get his name because he was fast. Leodis is actually a good bum name. "Flash" McKelvin? I think I have a mental problem, because I read a funny story about hobos and now I can't stop making up hobo names...
