This may a bit off topic for a bodybuilding board such as this but it could turn out to be somewhat interestng for some GetBiggers.

Last week I was taking a five mile hike along the Strip and stopped mid-way to check out some new burger joint inside the Casino Royale Casino.

I think it was called Whte Castle.

So I placed my order and received a bag-full of little, shitty burgers and could only stomach one and continued my walk looking for a garbage can to dump the 5 or 6 little, shitty burgers that I had left.

But I passed a desperate street bum (we have a lot of them here in LV) so I stopped him and asked, "If you're hungry, here's a bag of burgers that I just got."

And it was like I gave him a illion dollars! He was overly thankful which really surprised me and made me realize that these 'bums' were really hungry.

So these past few days I have been passing out little burgers to street people who look pretty damn desperate and have been totally surprised by how they reacted and who they turned out to be.

Such as yesterday!

Yesterday I stopped an Indian guy who was definitely down on his luck and I asked him why was he was so fooked up.

It turned out that he was a vet who once served in the US Army 82nd airborne and also in the 101st Airborne Screaming Eagles.

At first I doubted his honesty but then he started naming the officers in the 101st whom I was familiar with and we proceeded to discuss our military mis-adventures for the next 30 minutes.

He showed me the messed up, combat damage to his arm which earned him a Purple Heart and total disability ..... before we departed with a curtious nd a promise to buy him a beer if we ever crossed paths again
salute.

And that was just one of the street bums who had an inteesting earlier lifetime that I had the opportunity to meet.

Another was a former CEO within a major Fortune 500 institution ...but that's a long story for a later time.

A lot of these street people live underground in the storm drain tunnels which was described in detail in a book that was written a few years back.

A lot of LV bums ask for a couple of bucks because their 'car ran out of gas', but many others are just plain damn hungry and really appreciae a couple of those shitty White Castle burgers.

Street people suck ass.

Either mentally fucked or addicts or a combination of both.

Either way, human garbage doing nothing but dirtying neighbourhoods, costing taxpayers and upping the crime quotient.

“Oh, poor guy ... “

Bunch of libcuck nonsense.

If Fortress ever gives one anything, it’ll be a kick to the balls.

Tramps are generally fucking shitbags who wholeheartedly deserve to be on the streets, the filthy cunts hang around in the big market at night harassing drunken students to buy them food from one of the several takeaways. Would sooner donate to acre’s collection scam than buy food for tramps who likley spent their dole money on drink and drugs

In NYC there are plenty of phony street people. Especially in Manhattan. They sit on a cardboard box begging for money. I wouldn't doubt if some of them are making more than $50 bucks an hour. The women that use little kids really clean up. They give the real homeless a bad name it goes without saying.

I've dealt with a lot of homeless people in NJ. They live in tents in the woods. Hang out in a library for the AC, heat, computers and bathrooms. They sleep in isolated chairs in the library. A church around the block from the library feeds the homeless. Many that I have talked to collect disability. It's the holy grail and they all talk about how to get it. Two guys that had side by side tents collected $1200 and $1000 a month. I asked them why don't they get a one room apartment and they were both against it. One said in another year he is going to buy a used car. They are not always rocket scientists. A rough guess is that half of them in the town I'm talking about Toms River, NJ are heroin addicts. Some of the homeless were scumbags but many weren't. I truly felt sorry for them. I saw one regular walking one day without shoes. She was bare foot. A girl about 30 years old. I asked her what happened and she said she was being used for sex in exchange for living in a drug infested hotel. The hotel was raided and she jumped out a window barefoot. I went to a shoe store with the intent of buying her some shoes explaining to the owner what I was doing. He gave me a pair of slippers for free. She wore them for a week before she got a pair of shoes. Sadly she over dosed a few months later. No one claimed the body.

Stunt sometimes I wonder if what you type is real or fiction? My son is Army Airborne. The 3rd Battalion, 509th infantry Airborne (Geronimo). He has jumped out of prop, helicopters and jets. He has jumped in the Arctic in freezing temperatures. When he came back from Afghanistan he surprised the wife and me while we were in the pool having a cocktail this summer. He joined the military when he was 17 with my signature and the Army took him on his 18th birthday. He actually grew two inches in the military. In Fort Benning we saw him graduate from Paratrooper school. We saw him running from a mile away with his parachute after a jump in 90 degree weather. He had such a big smile on his face seeing us.

I can't disagree with most of the adverse comments about street bums that have been made above ... and I sure as hell don't feel any remorse about them, but I do find it interesting that SOME of them have really been involved within a more sophisticated lifestyle than they are at present.

And I hate to throw food away!

OLDTIMER, Thanks for the intresting post regarding your son! I am going to send you a private message ASAP which you and your son will find to beof interest ... and then maybe you can answer on my behalf if I am "related" to Forest Gump .... or maybe closer to Gomer Pyle!

Stand by to stand by! And please salute your son on my behalf!

I've given to homeless, especially in DC and Los Angeles, but one thing you have to be aware of is that occasionally your social contact with a schizophrenic person, by giving them $, may prompt them into a conversation with you that you might wish never started.

stuntmovie · « **Reply #14 on:** October 23, 2018, 11:44:36 AM »

IRON, Regarding the Fortune 500 street guy!!

I assure you that it is true.

In fact OnlyMe used to know him as a street person until that street person passed away .... Only then did OnlyMe discover who this guy was because they wrote an article about him in a Honolulu newspaper.

If I can find that, I'll post it here.

KWON, Thanks! (I think.)

Stunt you should give White Castle another chance.

stuntmovie · « **Reply #16 on:** October 23, 2018, 12:00:37 PM »

MEGA, The only conversation regret that I ever started was a teephone conversation with a good friend.

It went something like this.

Me: How are you doing now? (He had just reently lost his right arm after an unsuccessful suicide attempt as a result of serious drug dependancy problem.)

Friend: Can you help me again.

Me: I can't! I already tried! And look what hapened.

Two months later a second suicide attempt was successful leaving befind a beautiful wife and a young son.

Anyone on this board have suicidal friends or associates? Or are possibly even considering doing so?

The Suicide Prevention/Crisis Line is very busy now-a-days whenever you place a call to any VA office.

Why is that? I've never considered asking that question before.

stuntmovie · « **Reply #17 on:** October 23, 2018, 12:09:49 PM »

OK, Dave, I will. But why do I find 6 of those litle burgers in a big bag when I only ordered one?

I always step into CASINO ROYAL for a cold $3 beer (cheapest beer on the Strip) and play one of the bar-top poker machines, so next trip ... I'll add a bag of White Castle burgers and give you a seond opinion.

(White Castle is inside Casino Royale now.)

But I am an In 'n Out fan and they have a new and fancy place beneath that big Ferris Wheel about a 5 minute walk fom White Castle ... so it's gonna be a tough decision.

Bullshit. For a person to be homeless it takes a series of bad life choices not one thing like a banking crash. Everyone else experienced the same economic conditions and we aren't homeless.

RJ, Thanks! I have to agree that I have had a more interesting life than 100% of my friends and associates.

And I can honestly tell you that everything I have written on this board is 98% accurate ... with only 1% being a very slight exaggeration and the other 1% due to long term forgetfullness!

It all started when my father told me to get out of the house and meet people.

The next morning I stold his car and drove to Los Angeles, snuck into a bar called The Lamp Lighter and had a beer with a guy by the name of Marlon Brando .... and he paid for it.

And that kind of 'stuff' still goes on.

And as of today, I feel that I have met everyone I've ever wanted to meet ... including the majrity of those individuals mentioned on this board.

I think I have already mentioned that a couple of us were planning to write a book .... but were told that we'd most likely be 'dy-ded' before we got it published.

I seriously doubt that, but we never did write it anyway.

My current interest is encouraging friends who have an interest in screen-writing.

one friend's work will be filmed by a major studio early next year.

Another friend has written one of the best "franchise"" scripts that I have ever read and has received 'inside' encouragentfom a Hollywood VIP which might mean that that script will see screen-time.

We frequently have bums holding signs at many interstate exits.

One day, I rolled my window down to talk to one of them. This guy's sign declared him a Nam vet. I didn't quiz the old fuck, but I did ask where he served.

He immediately started babbling about some incoherent shit, punctuating it all with a declaration that he was "also in World War 2."

I said something like, "Try harder next time, rummy," then went on my way.

I was stupid to do even that. Never again.
