At least YOU didn't misspell "misspelled".  It never ceases to amuse me when the grammar police chastize people while commiting their own offenses. :cheersmate:

Vesta is what is often referred to as a character.  Unlike bobo though, she's authentic.

Yes, but authentic WHAT?  That's a question that's likely to forever remain unanswered.

Sparky, why did I have an idea my post would draw your attention? :lmao:

Oh come on.  I don't believe for a minute bobo is homeless.  This is just some liberal who invented bobo as an internet character, to bring "awareness" to the situation of the homeless.  The author just didn't think it all the way through.  The posting at any and all hours, the utter lack of description on how bobo fed herself that day, and all the other details of daily life.  Wouldn't she have all kinds of tales about dumpster-diving, getting chased out of the library bathroom, panhandling hits and misses, soup kitchen humiliations, run-ins with the law, close calls with other bums?  We've been watching her a long time.  Where are the true stories of the gritty street?

None of that.  Just calls for donations to buy billboard space to "increase awareness."  Just the sort of thing an idiot liberal would do. 

You forget she's livin' off our dime on a disability check. She had housing, but it wasn't up to her standards and the Super wouldn't bow to her every request, so she moved out! ( or got kicked out for bein such a twat! )

Oh my:  I just remembered another element of Bobo the Hobo's online legend.  The Super that drove her from her sub-standard (well, beneath Bobo's standards, anyway) apartment WAS JAPANESE!!!

Yep - I think it was a bunch of Buddhist monks. You can just imagine the stress all their chanting placed on our dear Bobo.

Ya spose she can stamp her feet that hard when she throws a fit? After all, Japan is on the opposite side of the globe!

If I may, I would like to say something in Vesta's defense. Sometimes her ramblings are pretty funny. However, my advice to Vesta, is too keep it short, sweet and try to stay on topic. After the first paragraph, I tend to lose focus. Vesta , however is very pleasant....
