...Oh great, he's wanting to stop over at the signpost there. Rusty! Come on.... Oh, OK. Hopefully they aren't too anal about that 'heel your dog' thing around here. God knows the bums pee by the T station all the time. Hmm. I really hope Wordsworth has Programming Perl. I really need to get the Perl 5 edition...

...Most of the other kidderoos here are strictly weekend beggars, but I'm a pro. I was a first round draft pick for Team Heroin, straight off the bench at Hardup U., and for you fans out there, it's lookin' a bit grim, but we might pull up in the final quarter. Heh. Wonder if Jimbo's over by the Ow Bone Pain...he might have a little something for me...

...Walking, walking, walking. Hi people, hi, hello, how's it going, hey, what's up, hi hi hi hi hi. Woof! Uh oh, gotta pee, gotta pee, gotta pee, stop. Peeing, peeing, peeing. Ahhh. Walk walk walk *sniff sniff* walk walk walk walk...

...I been drummin for a good long while, and there seems to be more kids around. My hands are hurtin christ-awful though, so I knock off for a while an let Georgy at it while I drink me some coffee. The cup warms up my hands a little bit, but it ain't gonna help the big gash I got workin' at the lumberyard yesterday.  

Georgy is drummin to peel the paint off the walls. I like the kid, but he ain't NEARLY as good as me. We was in a band awhile in high school, but I had to quit cause I was joinin up. By the time Uncle Sam got his hands offa me, no more band...
