P.S. I bet he collected a tidy sum. This would make an interesting experiment. Two different men. Same corner. Same times of day. One handsome. One ugly. Which collects more?

      <![CDATA[I work with the homeless, so I get to have the self-righteous 'I don't make money because society doesn't value my work therefore I have none to give you, but I will totally help you find shelter' slant, but I still give change if I have it.  Watching my dad while growing up, I noticed he always gave to folks with pets and I've adopted that as well.  Even though it breaks my heart that the pets are on the streets, I know at least some of my change is going to pet food.<br />
<br />
I saw a guy today who'd spanged me a few weeks ago and had a cat.  I asked him how the kitty was and he said he had found her a loving home.  I told him I didn't have any change today, so he asked to kiss my hand and I let him.  He isn't even cute.  <br />
<br />
And you know what?  I don't care if people think this post is an overshare.  I don't think the Stranger talks about homelessness enough, so I'll take what I can get, even if it's about cute panhandlers.  And sometimes they totally are!  Cute, that is.

 It's a common mistake but in this current economic climate everyone ought to brush up on there definitions of the jobless and transient.

      <![CDATA[I read somewhere about a sociologist who decided to conduct an experiment.  He begged for change on two consecutive days in the NYC Port Authority bus terminal.  The first day he posed as a traditional homeless man, the next day he wore a suit and tie.  Naturally he made three times as much money in one hour of begging wearing the suit.  Apparently people thought the middle class businessman had his wallet lost or stolen and were much more likely to help.  Giving to the scraggly homeless guy, on the other hand, was pouring money down a black hole.  Just saying.

      <![CDATA[Woah, Aislinn, looks like you had a little anonymous posting fail there. I don't think any worse of you, but ECB might not approve of that rather un-feminist response to his spontaneous domination move. Don't worry, though: if Marlee Ginter does an expose, Dan Savage will ride to your rescue. Have a good week-end.

      <![CDATA[@12: In the apartment of a friend of his.<br />
<br />
He stopped me on the sidewalk and asked if I wanted to go get something to eat (not mentioning he only had enough money for fries), and he was hot and charming, so I went. When we were leaving, he pushed me against the wall of the restaurant and kissed me. The afternoon only got more absurd from there. He (of course) has family in Kirkland, but chooses to be a drain on society instead. Normally I loathe those people, but... Damn.

Has he been called up by the Obama Administration? Under-Secretary of Frivolity?
