I love pirates. Sometimes I fancy myself as one. But pretty soon searching for pirate booty will be replaced by a yearning for the freedom of the rails. And every one will want to be a hobo.

Don't believe me?

It's starting to appear every where thanks to John Hodgeman's book and his reading of 700 hobo names. Soon there'll be a hobo day and it'll seep into the blogosphere memes. You'll be wanting to know what your hobo name is.

I'm just feeling it because of watching Sullivan's Travels last night. Good movie. Veronica Lake is short. Yet, it made me want to be a hobo too. Or at least a bum.
