The Bums in CA are getting creative, and honest!

Off the pier:

Easy, fun, and not overly in your face. I give it a thumbs up.

So if I pitched a nickel off the pier and made it in the the swinging cup that means I get all the monies around the cup right?

Ha. You would be bumbarded before you even got close.

Looks a little like Santa Barbara to me. OP's location is listed as San Diego, but I'll confess to not having visited any of the piers after living here for over a year.

You sir, are a winner! It's in SB.

Look at that, they got jobs and didn't even know it. They're selling entertainment, and at a reasonable price, too.

Interesting. Apparently these bums are direct sales agents from god that allow you to cheaply purchase blessings from him. I wonder what their commission rate is.

bums being honest? like 10 years ago you would see those same signs. Why lie its for beer. shit it musta been 15 years ago actually. But a swinging cup is kinda cool

where's a pic of a smartass running down there and picking up all the coins?

 

[Riverhound777]

Yeah it's SB, i've seen them many times. I've also seen some pretty neat sand sculptures by people and some good musical bums. Still never give them money.

Sure beats the bums that used to be around here. Usually they would just steal my leftovers when I walk out of a restaurant. I'm not sure what the city did, but I haven't seen a bum around campus in two years.

I don't like the 'why lie? need beer" signs. Pretty awesome setup though...I'd be grabbing all the change I could

Now they can get really big, create a few industry groups, and start dictating how people watch the entertainment and suing everybody to oblivion.

IRS should go down there and 'withhold' 25%.

 

[konakid7]

Sounds like the bums are just getting lazy. Just set up a few stations like that around town, sit back, and rake in the coins.

Absolutely. These bums are not paying their fair share.
