What Could It Mean?

April 6, 2009 by Lloyd 22 Comments

I found our first Hobo Sign in front of our house today. Unfortunately, I do not read hobo, and it does not appear to be any of the documented symbols. Anyone have an idea?

It might be upside down.

    It looks like a combination of “keep away” and “get out fast”. Do you think it is a reference to your hard brownies and sugarless cookies?

      Yes, That makes more sense than mine. I was thinking something like, “It is diabolically difficult to transcribe perpendicular lines inside circles here.”

    I thought it was an incomplete exclamation point bunny. Anybody remember those?

    I was thinking “turn right here”, “turn left here”, “get out fast”.

    Clearly they have heard there is no heat for warmth at the Sommerer’s house.

    Sly cat (closed eyes – can’t see them) with small smirk looking out window at me from this house. Beware!

    Comin’ out of left field here, but I think one of the neighbor kids took advantage of a little sunshine to do some sidewalk art.

      Boy, that is out of left field. Things must be pretty bad in Washington if you have neighbor kids who have turned to the hobo creed.

      Is there some sort of assistance program that could help them?

        Heck, yes! Here in Washington, we have programs for EVERYTHING! And you schmucks in Nebraska get to PAY FOR THEM!

        Well, and we schmucks in Maryland get to pay for them, too.

    This is what one of the neighbor kids thinks Lloyd will look like once he cuts his hair and trims his beard.

    I’m pretty certain it says “thank you Lauren for sending the soap nuts to Lark Gurganious.”

      You flew your Noah all the way to Seward just to write thank you on the sidewalk. Genius.

    I think it means, ‘I had to plunge this toilet when I used it today…move on to the next house’

    Looks like a snowman to me. Someone doesn’t want winter to end.
