    PLeas tell me if I am doing anything stupid

    You see, the issue you have here, is that you're ending up in Iowa. Why Iowa?

    drunk hitchhiking

    Yo, I always get the best rides hitching from ramps drunk. Was dancing my ass off, wasted, at a ramp right outside of Richmond, Virginia. Was trying to catch a ride to Fredericksburg to get a bus ticket from there, at a badass day center they have, going to New Orleans and hopefully make it...

    What are your experiences with couchsurfing?

    I can imagine it wouldn't be all that hard if you spent quite a bit of time looking into where open couches are, planning trips around where you can stay, and keeping in contact with the people with the couches. I've never couchsurfed from websites or Facebook groups, too much work for me; just...

    So does anyone have any jokes??

    What's the difference between a garbanzo bean and a chick pea? I wouldn't pay 40 bucks to have a garbanzo bean on my face.

    Would anyone be interested in volunteering for a free place to stay in New Orleans?

    I'm in the 8th ward right now, and may be here as late as September. If you are going to have this started before then, let me know and I'd be down to volunteer full time. I'm a carpenter, and I have tools here, as well.

    Anyone have project or website ideas?

    Make a hitchhiking app please. :) Like Uber for scumfucks, plus a map that hitch hikers can add themselves as waypoints, and nice people can view exactly where they're at. Clicking on the point, you could make a screen pop up with a short bio, a picture of them and a few fun facts like, "Pets?:"...

    Places to shower

    Gyms, community centers. College campuses. Truck stops - especially Pilot and Flying J, ask a trucker if he has an extra shower on his card, and he will usually get you a shower for free.

    Travel superstitions?

    I think that getting rides definitely has more to it than "If they would stop, they will stop." I've used shitty signs, just black sharpie and a destination written on it and stood there for hours; then changing it up to a niiiiice fuchsia with a black outline, big smug smiley face and a glowing...

    You are NOT a crusty.

    So what would you call the crusties that don't want to be considered punk? Name it. I'm simply here to learn. :)

    You are NOT a crusty.

    Whoa - long thread. After a brief overview, from someone that has never been thoroughly immersed in the culture: Crusty ideology and crust punk ideology is definitely two different things, no?

    Anyone ever try living/ traveling by canoe on the river?

    You sound adventurous. I have an old canoe at my aunts house. It has a few holes in it, but if we took turns bucketing out water, I'm sure we could make it to the Horn of Africa by next month. Holler if you're keen!

    What constitutes a "good town"?

    I like towns that aren't excessively ghetto, where you don't get harassed by law enforcement for simply trying to exist, plenty people out and enjoying themselves, not terribly blown up by traveler kids or homebums, Basically, as long as I can get my essentials (beer, smokes, food, showers)...

    Practice bum run 'round town..

    I've been caught aggressively panhandling by a few aunts and uncles in New Orleans on a few occasions. I usually get the whole, "You were such a nice boy, get a job and get back on your feet" lecture. I still am a nice boy, and I've never been happier. :) Where are you at currently?

    Staying safe in New Orleans

    S'up bromeo! Welcome to the site. I'm digging the badass stance that you have on gutterpunks causing trouble throughout New Orleans. I've lived there, working and living uptown with the yuppies, and running with that tough crowd on the other side: proprietors of the squatting zoo! Those straws...

    Missed bus.

    Touching on the tying your pack to you thing, if you have nice shoes and you're sleeping on the streets in a shitty area, a tip I got my first day traveling: Watch out for people stealing them right off your feet. Take them off and hold them, keep them in your pack, or lace them up tight. Also...

    Missed bus.

    Good times, I've done most of those. Lost a leather jacket that I had for years when it flew out of the back of a pick up truck with 160 dollars in it, stashed my pack in the woods while evading police then froze my ass off because I couldn't re-find my pack until morning, didn't "Just Say No"...

    Possible Serial Killer Christian Older Couple Shooting Street Kids

    This thread is almost good enough to travel clear across the country to try and get kidnapped by a 73 year old serial killer Christian to find out the outcome. Maybe I'm just drunk.

    The Dance with The Eternal Mother

    From how the story was going, I expected organs being harvested and her taking off the mask, "I am... JOHN CENA!" before the end. Any pics? Edit: Oh, organs have already been discussed. Great minds think alike.

    Craziest places you've slept for the night?

    As far as Ive heard, for it to be burglary there has to be: Entry without permission, and attempt to exit with stolen property. Although that is to a residence and could be different for commercial burglary.

    Do you think it even matters if you're high?

    Always felt like drugs like Adderall make you go out and get shit done and change, you know, everything. Can be a bit of a spiritual awakening. Meth gets me overstimmed to the point of being high and worthless. Opiates, too costly and being a regular user could drag you down. Marijuana, it...

    Sexless

    I think we are all inclined to want sex. I mean, can't help but to: every action of every living entity ever is driven by the need to procreate and propagate life. No one is sexless in that aspect. We can choose to not procreate, of course, but that doesnt change our psychology. Since we are...
