Hobo Central
Here?s a site you can waste hours clicking through: Hobo.com. It?s no joke (like, say, the World Rock Papers Scissors Society), but rather a functional and educational gathering point for all things hobo. For instance, there?s an essay attempting to define just what is a hobo, a list of hobo kings and queens, and (my favorite), the 1894 Hobo Code of the Open Road. From the latter:
1.-Decide your own life, don't let another person run or rule you.
2.-When in town, always respect the local law and officials, and try to be a gentleman at all times.
4.-Always try to find work, even if temporary, and always seek out jobs nobody wants. By doing so you not only help a business along, but insure employment should you return to that town again.
