Of theme songs and full moons...

      If you happened to be in the downtown Bremerton area last Thursday afternoon, you MIGHT have seen a carful of hobos, minus Joe. Perhaps the absence of Joe only fuels our weirdness, but for some reason or another, we are ALWAYS crazier on days that Joe does not attend. This day was no different. Every good sitcom needs a theme song, and yesterday we finally found ours. Of COURSE I am the main character in the song. This ALWAYS happens... so the song. would you like to hear it?? WELL TOO BAD!! because We only sing it on nights when the sky is clear and the moon is full and we are all safely huddled in our cardboard box with an open bag of pork jerky. ONLY THEN, if you were listening, would you hear the faint strains of our stupendous theme song. The tune is a popular tune that we stole from some dude named Yankee Doodle Dandy. Who knows who he is?? (None of us as of yet taken a history course and Hugo is only studying it next quarter to hear of the gruesome battle tales.) I think that Dandy is a weird last name. Perhaps this was not his REAL last name and he only used this name so people wouldn't know he was the main character of a ridiculous song. (Come to think of it, this could be a good idea...) so do you know the song?? OF COURSE YOU DO!! everyone does...So hum the song softly to yourself. Yes. Right here, right now. (But SOFTLY so the person next to you doesn't think you are a complete freak.) humming? good. now repeat after me:


Hobo Bebo plays the oboe
And he plays it well!
Hobo Bebo plays the oboe
Boy, he sure does smell!!


Hobo Bebo keep it up
Hobo Bebo dandy!
Hobo Bebo play that oboe
You sure play it handy!!


Now repeat this 5 times and you will have recreated our stupendous hobo theme song.
congratulations to you.
