Bums Hangout
FOUND by Joe
in Bakersfield, California
Found this on a door downtown. This is obviously a bum hangout.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Yes. By the trashcan is a much better spot, since chilling is unlikely to occur there. Good call.
As a downtown business owner, I've written this note a number of times, albeit in better form..
so it's ok to "chill" around this door, but not relieve ones self. but luckily they have provided a convenient trash can for all your relief needs(but do the mean "in" or "next" to it?)
reminds me of the "tradition" anti-peeing note from a month or so ago.
which makes me wonder, does this door have a longer tradition of chilling, or peeing?
(and is it possible to do both?)
*"do THEY mean..."
'Tis important to treat your spots properly. Or maybe that's promptly. Hmmmm.
Either way, good life lesson.
Where I live, I don't tend to run into urine anywhere so this note reminds me of my trip to San Francisco where I smelled urine all over the place.
Hate to be the word police but I have a problem with the word bum which I think of as as a child's term for ass. Could you use homeless? They usually are the ones without access to bathrooms and would be more liking to be using the chill place piss or shit.
Homeless=no home
Bum=asks for money, panhandler
Hobo=rides on trains, has a traveling lifestyle
I don't sleep in your bathroom, don't piss in my house.
Segregation of living space from shitting and pissing space is the most fundamental act of civilization. After that come fire, beer and religion -- in that order.
I thought all of Bakersfield is a shit spot.
In the trash can? Who will clean it out when it gets full?
Yuck. Find some dirt, dude. At least the shit/piss can be buried or get absorbed.
Gorgon, you forgot sex. The order should be fire, sex, beer, and religion
well, can I shit/piss in the "chill" spot if I bring my own bucket?
No, Lady Brandy! It's the chill spot, not the smell or watch you take a dump spot! Sheesh.
To pee, or not to pee: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to chill
by this spot of outrageous fortune,
Or to take aim against a sea of trash cans,
And by pissing, soil them?
Feeling: really good. I like it.
@Feeling that's hilarious! Wish I had thought of it first.
Gorgon, you forgot music. After learning "you don't shit where you eat" (or chill, as in this case), learn to make music, fire, and beer.. life is complete. What else does man really need? (the sex just comes about naturlly, I think. Not much learning required- although maybe.. initiation?)
Religion can be supplemented or supplanted with deep [or seemingly so] philosophical, rambling dialog, illuminated by the full moon and fueled by beer and psychotropic plants. so much the better.
Ahhh it all reminds me of my Homeless Summer.
Go for it.
Kamikaze.
Divine Wind.
Nothing to lose.
GO!
HAHA! When I first saw the title Bums Hangout, I immediatly thought of asses...a place for your ass to hang out (maybe a public toilet?). HAHA! Like, those really saggy paints that those high school boys wear, with their bums hanging out.
HAHAAHA (sometimes I crack myself up).
p.s. did the finder mean Bum's?
he did.
Holy shit!
Im from Bakersfield!
Weiirrddddd.
It's oddly poetic.
Well it's three days' ride from Bakersfield,
and I don't know why I came.
I guess I came to keep from paying dues.
So instead I got a bottle
and a girl who's just fourteen.
and a damn good case
of the Mexicali Blues.
Woah!
The trash can? Yeah, that'd be a welcome scent when I go to throw out my gum wrapper. Are there no toilets? Public restrooms?
I thought it said "chili" spot.
does the K at the end mean, "okay? Okay! Thanks!" or is it the note writer's initial?
Oh Dear Goldbelly, Please don't get them started on Chili. K? K! Thx.
First Bakersfield find I've seen! Almost makes me nostalgic for my good ol' hometown...
@Sammy Davis Jr: it's true.
"And this is also our cubby-corner where we smoke our CRACK!"
Go piss and shit in the *crack-pot*.
