49 Hobo Names
May 11, 2010
These hobo names were generated during the night of May 10, 2010, during a game of The Chef’s Border Town d20 Modern setting. One of the players rolled up a hobo character (who wields a machete and once a day may go into a drunken bum Rage), and so it could not be stopped.
This man was christened "Smilin’ Jack Cisco, The Hobo Prince of Arizona."
I have done my best to ensure that we have not stolen any of John Hodgman‘s precious 800 hobo names subliminally. I will, however, cop to stealing his shtick yet again, which I think has to do with the fact I listened to his Areas Of My Expertise audiobook a few weeks ago. I have not been the same since.
Anyway, given that he is the writer of an almanac of COMPLETE WORLD KNOWLEDGE, I suppose he already knows of these hobo names, as well as many more that will never be published.
