HoboTV

It has come to my attention that the world needs more reality TV shows. It has also occurred to me that the hobo is severely underrepresented on the national airwaves. Therefore, I have decided to "shop around" my idea, which I have tentatively titled "Who Wants to Lick a Hobo?"

I'm thinking that it'll be like The Bachelor, but with medical personnel standing by in case of infection. There could be little games to weed out the weak...like "Would You Eat That?", "Build a Lint Fort" and "Bindlestick Beatdown". Maybe we could even do a "Fingerless Glove Fashion Show"! Or a documentary about how rat is the lobster of the ghetto! The possibilities are endless!

A few important things:

1- I would like a hobo for $150 or a used fiddle. Preferably both.

2- You should monitor "Fear Factor" for plagiarism.

3- A reality show where contestants forfeited all their worldly possessions and lived the nomadic hobo life would probably work. "Urban Survivor," essentially. The challenges would be tests of busking capability (banjos preferred), fence-painting (good hobo work, if you can get it), and, of course, hardcore, marathon jigging. If you can't jig for four hours straight, y'ain't no hobo.

Also, I would totally win the Bindlestick Beatdown. I'm like Darth Biscuit Thrower over here.
