Hobo Games

n. Triennial international sporting event involving homeless folks, people between income sources, and non-professional athletes. Opening soupcans with a rock, starting a fire from scratch, outrunning authorities, constructing shelters and clothing from sticks and plastic sheeting are but some of the featured events. Corporate and government sponsorship are, of course, prohibited, and betting is mandatory. Red Deer, Canada, is the permanent site for the HG.

Wanna head over to Red Deer for the Hobo Games? We could pick up some well-sorted gravel while we are there and maybe look for dinosaur bones in the creek, or Hobo bones, which are more plentiful.

No. I think I’ll pass. Again.
