Audio: 700 Hobo Names

This is an audio file created by John Hodgman, author and compiler of the book The Areas of My Expertise. The book covers a wide range of subjects, but must be bought to explore them further. Thankfully the author has deigned to read his compiled list of 700 hobo names to the tune of The Big Rock Candy Mountain, a hobo ballad.

Here are a few gems from the hobo names (although they all have a incomparable genius of description):

1. Stewbuilder Dennis
3. Holden the Expert Dreamtwister
25. Normal-Faced Olaf
108. Cthulu Carl
145. Robert IsHeAnElf, (One of the Seven Silt Brothers -all named Robert- known for their small stature and predictable bitterness)
189. Skywise the Sexual Elf
299. The Scroll-Keeper
304. Blind Buck and Bluesy, the Invisible Seeing-Eye Dog
307. Fake-Cockney-Accent Allen Strip
311. Sir Francis Drank
396. Not-Only-but-Also-Pete
437. Pontius Cornsilkheart
464. Lee Burned-Beyond-Recognition
547 .Myron Biscuitspear, the Dumpster Archeologist
635. Tailstuck Gunther, the Vestigial Man

Everyone feels the need to be distinctive; I can only imagine that need is more pronounced living a transient and needful life.
And hopefully this post has contributed a bit to their memetic afterlife.
