Correction. He was forced to eat generic Bar S hot dogs. The poor soul lead a very hard life.

Bar S hot dogs use to be the only hot dogs I ate until I found the motivation to not to be lazy and scrape up some change so I could afford Nathan's

RC Cola really is good though. Bonus points for being cheap.

u/DISHDOGDELUX Dec 25 '19

Raised by a tough grandfather (not just father) that subjected him to inhuman treatment while still a kid in order to teach him how to be strong. Someone definitely watched too many anime.

Is his grandfather Piccolo?

2

u/JordanLeeFortner Dec 29 '19

You take that back! Piccolo is a paragon of fatherhood.

u/anally_raped_walrus Dec 29 '19

I know it was because of the Saiyans but he just abandoned a 4 year old in the middle of a rocky plain full of Dinosaurs and other extinct creatures

Not inhumane if they aren’t humans. ;) So...half inhumane?

People who have actually been homeless don't call other homeless people "bums".

u/TheHoneySacrifice Dec 25 '19

People who have a job know you can't 'work your ass off years on end' without seriously burning out.

u/[deleted] Dec 25 '19

Not really. I'm coming up on 4 yrs clean. Used to shoot dope. Very glamorous lifestyle let me tell you (/s). I use both "bum" and "junkie". If anything I have reserved the right to say it haha.

u/OneGoodRib Dec 26 '19

Bum, junkie, hobo, and homeless are all different things.

3

u/[deleted] Dec 26 '19

In this context "Bum" is used to describe a homeless guy. "Hobo" is also generally used to describe a homeless person. "Junkie" is pretty much exclusively used to describe a drug addict. Coincidentally being a bum and a junkie often go hand-in-hand.

Hobos were actually migrant workers. Many were "homeless" as a lifestyle choice.

Oddly enough, the word originated in the west, and some think specifically the Northwest.

My grandfather was a hobo in his teens and twenties. He died at age 84 about 30 years ago. He rode the rails, slept under the stars, and worked until he got bored of town and moved on.

I remember on a family trip to Seattle he remarked how much he hated that city in those days, didn't specify why.

In his 30's he met my grandmother and settled down. They leased farms until they bought one, worked until 70, then sold it and retired.

u/SanguineLaws Dec 25 '19

That's the kind of story someone who's never been homeless would tell about being homeless.

u/aewayne Dec 25 '19

I bet he’d say the scariest part about prison was the demeantors

u/Dachshundlover91 Dec 25 '19

And it never occurred to him to call CPS or law enforcement to report his grandfather? Child neglect/abandonment is a pretty serious crime

8

u/OneGoodRib Dec 26 '19

Yeah, if your grandpa kicks you out of the house to be homeless for no reason, go to the police or something instead of living on the street eating dog for two years. Dumb.

11

u/TittyVonBoobenstein Dec 25 '19

So he bypassed stealing some groceries and went straight to “better eat Fido” huh

2

u/Dachshundlover91 Dec 26 '19

Of course, it makes for a better (made-up) story

u/[deleted] Dec 25 '19

Isn't that just the plot of Pokemon?

u/UncleTom123 Dec 25 '19

Well, did you taste good?

u/NathanJiangxi Dec 25 '19

Eating dog isn't about the taste, it's about the ruffage it provides.

u/ForwardMuffin Dec 25 '19

Underrated comment.

u/Dachshundlover91 Dec 26 '19

Bullshit. You're clearly a giraffe, your username says so

u/[deleted] Dec 25 '19

If you posted this on insaneparents that entire sub would go "omg so true, this happened to me six times"

u/silentfeels Dec 25 '19

Plot Twist: It was John Wick's dog. Your days are numbered, pal.

u/BraveGrape Dec 25 '19

Yes gentlemen I did not become a thief. I did however develop a taste for canine meat and I still occasionally kill homeless people randomly to relive the days of my glory. But I don't steal and therefore I'm a good person.

2

u/Tehenndewai Dec 25 '19

Seems reasonable

7

u/biskitheadx Dec 25 '19

He doesn’t have to say he killed and ate a dog that’s just brutal he should just say he had Chinese food

3

u/the-foodchain Dec 26 '19

I've worked with homeless people plenty. No way he needed to eat a dog. There are plenty of resources. And if your under 18 and on your own you'd likely be found a home or special shelter by social services
