OMG Katy, i'm getting such a hobo buzz off this Schlitz cause I haven't eaten a thing since that hot dog 8 hours ago. We better hurry so we don't miss the box car to Memphis. Hey look, it's poop!

it’s like a drunk bum on the street… fucked up and talking shit, mainly to themselves . Think shadow boxing alone with his shadow
