The Bum Chronicles(episode 3)
-- If there’s one thing I’ve learned to love about ATL, it’s the crazy-ass homeless fucks that you just can’t help but laugh at.
This is a good one...I was waiting for the train at five points like I usually do when this guy shuffles up to the edge of the tracks and coily looks down onto them. I thought it was a little strange, but didn't think much of it...just another retarted guy...then he started looking down the tracks toward where the train would be coming from and leaning over them, so I started to keep an eye on him...I thought a bum was finaly taking my advise and killing himself. But then he sat down and started climbing down into the tracks. The way he was moving, there would have been no way he would have been able to get out in time if he did get down there and a train did come, but everyone started yelling at him and one guy almost had to pulled him up because a train was about to come...So he was either trying to kill himself and terribly unsuccesful or, more likely, he saw something shiny on the tracks and wanted to pick it up...eitherway, what a dumbass...
THEN I got on the train, went one stop, and here comes the man who must have been the voice for Jimmy on South Park. He was this big Korean guy with blue slacks, a black tie, and sandals. He leaned back and propped up his feet on the seat next to him, closed his eyes, and started talking to himself and he sounded exactly like Jimmy. And he did it ALL the way through Atlanta-funny shit.
