Someone who will stop you as you walk and tell you:
a) You look
good, son. Naw, naw don'
t leave, I jus wanna talk ta ya...
b) I will take verbal abuse for change
among many other statements. They will often smoke weed or crack right on the street, and the cops don'
t care. They have an 'ignore the bums' policy.
These bums will often wander onto campus to have enlightening conversations about the bible, only to pass out in the middle of a pathway.
They are generally nice
people, some even have advanced degrees, but somewhere along the line (around 1967-1975) they just fucked up and couldn'
t recover. Most of the sleep in
people's park.
Paco: Yo G, you see that Berkeley
bum?
Jaime: Yeah, how'd he get all the way down to Stockton?
Paco: Shit if I know, but he taught me about the space-time continuum, I feel like I might go back to school.
Jaime: Yeah, they are pretty smart, but yet they don'
t do shit with their lives 'cept create elaborate radio mixing equipment next to Top Dog.
