There's also the homeless guy who hangs out by the liquor store by 8th St. and Broadway. His family was killed by light sabers. I also know where he sleeps...

]]> <![CDATA[23 Unidentified Modern Eccentrics]]> Also...there's that homeless guy who hangs out by MacDougal who shines people's shoes with his bare hands for only $2.

A couple of years ago, I was having a cigarette outside Off the Wagon, and he offered me a shoe shine. I declined, by another patron of the bar who was also having a cigarette insisted that this guy gave the best shoe shines around, and that they were so good, he would not only pay the $2 for my shoe shine, but gave the homeless man an extra $5 tip. I couldn't say no to such an offer, so I let him shine my shoes (which were actually my beloved Doc Martin boots). Sure enough, he breaks out the shoe polish, pours it right into the palm of his hand, and goes to work on my boots. Did a pretty good job overall, but the fucker got polish all over the yellow threads that hold the soles. They haven't been the same since :(

Then having passed this spectacle one can hear the constant murmurings of the sweet faced Hispanic hander outer of am new york which he INSISTS to my great rage in calling PM! :PM,brother, sister, newspaper PM".
