Homeless in Westwood

Anybody who uses “Mr.” before speaking or writing the name of a famous person is a small-time thinker and an old-time Charlie. (Photo snapped in Westwood within the last 24 to 36 hours by Jeffrey Ressner, formerly of Time and Politico.)

  1. Just a sad, sad sign. I wish I ran across this guy. I love chatting with street folk who have an interesting story to tell, even if it’s total bullshit. They’re far more interesting than the stories of ninety percent of people who have beds to sleep in.

    And for the record, when invoking the name of Sinatra, *everybody* should prefix it with “Mr.”.

  2. that makes me sad… I know a lot of street folks, they’re really nice people who found themselves in fucked up situations.

  3. Wrecktum, yeah, I was gonna mention Jeff’s insult to another man’s injury, but then I realized that he’s not unique in this. Nobody gives a fuck about homeless people. That’s just the cold, indifferent world we live in.

  4. Look on the bright side. If he stays homeless long enough he won’t have to worry about Jeff calling him a fatty.

  5. That’s sad…the man is obviously down and out, and the only thing our host can do is ridicule him.

    To atone, perhaps Mr. Wells can offer him some Dean & Deluca cake fresh out of his pocket should he ever run into this person.

  6. Someone could put together a pretty damned good comedy book made up entirely of Wells’ insane broad generalizations.

  7. Off-topic, but does anyone know if Eric Bana will be at the premiere of “Love The Beast” on Wednesday? I just bought tickets and I bastarding hope he shows up. He’s at the Apple Store tomorrow so hopefully he’ll stick around for the premiere of his film the following day.

  8. It’s authority loving peasant speak: “Mr. Red Buttons, I want to thank you for the years of entertainment that you have brought to me and my family.”

  9. that makes me sad… I know a lot of street folks, they’re really nice people who found themselves in fucked up situations.

  10. Wells is a few weeks shy of being out on the streets himself assuming his advertising dries up on this thing

    Can only imagine how pronounced his ravings might be with torn socks, wet clothes and an empty belly

  11. [Deleted for exhibiting signs of psychotic hostility. The poster, whose e-mail is "rbquill@yahoo.com," is hereby banned for life.]

  12. I’ve noticed that professional athletes, especially when they’ve just been drafted (like in the NFL draft the other day) refer to the owners of their teams this way.

  13. I think that nice post. Nice information, valuable and excellent design, as share good stuff with good ideas and concepts, lots of great information and inspiration, both of which we all need, thanks for all the enthusiasm to offer such helpful information here.
