Tramps, burn-outs and the homeless insane all go to making life that little bit more interesting.
Gather around the burning oil-drum and tell us your hobo-tales.

Once, long ago, if a person was wandering down the street talking to noone visible, it was a surefire sign of mental disorder rather than a surefire sign of someone who wants to look amazingly important with a bluetooth device.
So there had used to be a high correlation between talking to the air and homelessness.
I happened to be following a tramp down the street; he was deep in conversation with noone that was visible to the rest of the world, but I could hear at least his side of the dialogue.
"... and then we drowned him, and it still didn't kill him. So we cut off his head, and we still couldn't kill him..."
A whole quarter of a century later, I'm still fascinated by the scenario being described. Who was this indestructible being, and why was he subject to such determined annihilation attempts by the homeless and helpless of North Staffordshire?

That sounds like the basis of a good story there... A gang of homeless drunks and dropouts, who saved their town from terrible monster maybe even losing a couple of the gang on the way only never to recieve recognition for their brave actions....
