A bum to me today:

[FuSoYa]

As I'm walking past:

Bum: "You ought to get married soon!"

Me: "Huh?"

Bum: "You look like Michael J. Fox. You should get married!"

Me: "Haha!"

Bum: "It's not a bad thing. You're a good looking guy. Move to Hollywood!"

 

[azal]

I bet you don't make cocktails as good as Michael J. Fox does.

 

[xfer]

I bet you have less shaky handwriting.

 

[azal]

this I think is a new high in my posting career, because I am now making Parkinson's jokes, a disease from which two of my grandparents have died.

give me da trophy.

 

[xfer]

there is nothing funnier than family tragedy, especially your own.

 

[xfer]

by "your" i mean there is nothing funnier than azal's family tragedy.

 

[azal]

true.

 

[azal]

Michael J. Fox is great at cleaning the designs off an Etch A Sketch.

 

[Stultus]

He can also probably serve as an acurate seismograph.

 

[FuSoYa]

All of a sudden I realize what the appropriate response would have been to this bum.

to give him a quarter and then kick him in the teeth and get it back.

what is this, grand theft auto?

 

[chupe666]

what is this, grand theft auto?

this is one of the first video game references i've gotten, since i downloaded a demo of this the other day. although it took me 4 times playing before i figured out shooting people was an integral part of the fun.

 

[The Dope]

Shooting people on the street and/or throwing grenades at them from atop a building is essential.

 

[VangelicSurgeon]

I disagree...I think tossing molotov cocktails is much more essential than throwing grenades.

 

[The Dope]

That too. Seeing people running around on fire is more rewarding than simply blowing them to pieces.

 

[Stultus]

Bazooka + Rooftop + Police Cars/Helicopter

 

[xfer]

you talking about tel aviv, stultus?

I am imagining that "Haha!" was of the forced, slightly nervous, don't-touch-me-you-dirty-hobo variety.
