Good lord. I think I'll take back what I said before. You might benefit from a night at the Gat before you decide to be like Biffen

I strode across proud and erect.

Special, I need to raise one or two matters with you.

Firstly, as a homeless person of poverty, how is it that you manage to post on this site? I'm guessing you joined with  some run through gang and stole an I-pad or  other device from an old lady. That's fine, one can only admire resourcefulness.

However, I do take  umbrage at this "proud and erect" stance of yours. It will lead to no good.

Poor people must learn their place. You would be better off adopting a more humble profile. Eyes downcast and adopt a shuffling aimless gait. That way the police will be less likely to bother you and you will not embarrass people of wealth.

Have a good evening.

BBo ...free wi fi in the city and we often get  a different device depending on which gentlemen of the legal fraternity stray too far down William st....and lose their way and become our prey.

Don't worry Special, the Earl lives a luxurious exitstance in Fitzroyaly Nth with plenty of space for a man of your ample proportions. BYO goon bags unfortunately. 

Moons please I do not live in the burbs as that is how I regard Fitzroy North! I am Fitzroy central please and no I will not be lodging Special. As I have said elsewhere  living under a bridge is luxurious compared to my former circumstances growing up in a shoebox. Hardship can be character building and I am a shining example of  what it can produce, even if I say so myself. I do thank Special for living away out of sight, under a bridge, that is preferable to the ferals sleeping out at Flinders Street Station. Very untidy, and it upsets Robert Doyle so much. But don't bring your bedding to Fitzroy by the way. We have a zero tolerance rule here, Robert.

Earl I used to beg outside the Smith St Safeway but it got very crowded....too many other bloody beggers....you know you'd be having a bong and they would want some....stuff like that!

I suspect the local indigenous tribe might have sent you on your way, that is very much their territory. They know they were dudded by J Batman, then Pascoe Fawkner so they would be very wary of another whitey intruding on their space, especially one who lives under a bridge!

This having separate sex 'walk' symbols in the city will never work. Today I just ignored the female walk sign and crossed anyway. Nobody said anything.

 

I'll be doing the same when I come across them.

A bit like how I don't stop at traffic lights if I lived in or spent a lot of time in the suburb before they were there. It hasn't failed me yet.

Special Robert,

There is more to joining the bohemian fraternity than wearing stained and dirty clothes .

One must be aiming at a certain libertine spirit to accompany the slightly worn and weathered attire And coiffure of the decadant and edgy  set. 

I'm concerned you may never attain this radical mindset Special,not because you are not Avante Garde enough,you clearly have that in spades,as your recent situational traffic light art attests.

The reason you may be shunned from bohemian society is related more to your prefèrence for bourbon and bongs over free wine and canapés ,usually purchased by wealthy benefactors known as art dealers.

Nobody in their right mind is going to allow you to enter their art gallery SR. Your best hope might be to run as a Greens candidate at the next election and just be happy living under the bridge or even the very nice doorways at St Paul's.

Biff..are you still in Mandalay? I could learn you know. ....you could be Mr Higgins and me Eliza......can you sing? I know all the words to 'wouldn't it be loverly'. You could take me to Fitzroy to rub shoulders with the toffs. Is BBO a lord or something? How come he has a manor and servants?

Robert Im not willing or interested in educating you to become a socially acceptable member of society.

I might be able to set you up with a bucket and a squeegee so you can help clean motorists windows at the traffic lights.

I will give you a 3 week trial without pay and a sealed box to put my money in.I suggest you jump at this wonderful employment opportunity.

Biff I would prefer we put Robert to a more constructive task cleaning the graffiti around Fitzroy! It should keep him busy for some time and he could sleep in Edinburgh Park at night with the possums, better than a bridge I would think.

earl, you just can't remove the graffiti from fitzroy. quite apart from the fact it represents the only indication of culture (albeit of the lesser variety) in fitzroy, but i fear if you remove the graffiti being the only binding matter holding the suburb together, the whole place will simply tumble down

BBO has attained a unique level in society, Robert.  I'm afraid that he is very selective about whose shoulders he rubs.

I've met the man (and I use that term very loosly, such was my confusion), so have Biffen and your fine self Maple. Can't be that picky. Matter of fact, I'd go so far as to say he was able to hold his head just a little bit higher in our company. 

Who is Special Robert ?           Special Robert has a special complex or disorder best off ignoring.  Seek treatment Special Robert.  The other Special folks on this thread who don't call themselves Special although they may think they are, are either on treatment, not on treatment or so far off the spectrum they defy diagnosis. Like other special folks in the community they exist because they have special people that accept them.  But Special Robert the worst thing you can do is ingratiate yourself in the hope that you will be able to befriend them. They are very contrary and can turn on you in a second. Beware!
