Tara’s photos – Hobo Tara returns

August 23, 2007 Boxcar Betties, Tara No Comments

Hey there, boys and girls!

As you all know, HoboTrashcan has now officially entered the Terrible Twos, kicking and screaming and careening headfirst into the next year. And guess what? I am still a hobo at heart.

When I was originally asked to be the official website girl for HoboTrashcan, I was beside myself. Me? How did they know I was a really a down and dirty vagabond underneath this glamorous exterior? Is it because they noticed that I eat beans out of cans? Or because I classily chug diesel-fuel-smelling vodka from nippy bottles? Or because I keep a switchblade in my back pocket, just in case I need to cut a dude’s ear off for ganking my sleeping bag or bogarting the community bonfire?

All I know is that this hammy chick likes to ride the rails. Thus, in honor of HoboTrashcan’s two-year anniversary, I dug out my camera, donned my best cotton bandana and snapped some photos down at the train yard to show that I am still a Boxcar Betty, hopping trains and bouncing from one boxcar to another.

As always … catch you on the next train to anywhere!

In whiskey we trust.

xoxo

Just Friends – Karli

July 13, 2006 Boxcar Betties, Just Friends No Comments




Click on a photo to enlarge it or click here to start a slideshow.

Name: Karli
Age: 20
Sign: Gemini

Karli claims she doesn’t have much of a life. She says she spends most of her time at college studying to be a veterinarian. She enjoys tattoos and piercings, going to a good show and long walks on the beach (no seriously) … and she is way out of Joel’s league.

1. Why should Joel be your friend?

The real question is: Why should I let Joel be my friend?

2. What are five random words that describe yourself?

Outgoing, passionate, intelligent, ambitious, unique.

3. If Joel gave you a gun with three bullets (and Leonardo DiCaprio was already dead), what three celebrities would you shoot and why?

I don’t think I would shoot any celebrities, I don’t keep up with them really. But … I would shoot Joel in the foot just for fun.

4. What would be the perfect way to spend a day with Joel (assuming he allows you to hang with him)?

I think we would have lots of fun shark fishing. No need for chum! We could just dangle Joel’s shot up foot in the water! If that doesn’t work, I still have two bullets left … I could shoot his other foot, too.

5. Joel just really pissed you off. You have ten seconds to tell him off. What do you say?

I’d tell him he’s pretty stupid, because I still have one bullet left.

6. Joel’s friends all have a really great sense of humor, so tell us a joke.

There once was pirate captain who, whenever it looked like a battle would be imminent would change into a red shirt. After observing this behavior for a few months, one of the crew members asked him what it meant.

“It’s in case I get shot. I don’t want you crew members to see blood and freak out.”

“That’s very sensible, sir.”

At that moment, the crew member spotted eight hostile ships on the horizon. The captain all of a sudden looked very concerned.

“Get my brown pants.”

7. Can Joel borrow five bucks?

No way, I’m one poor mo fo.

Joel Murphy is currently looking for new friends. If you would like to be Joel’s friend, send an email with photos to murphyslaw@hobotrashcan.com. You can find out more about Karli by visiting her MySpace Profile.

Just Friends – Karen

Click on a photo to enlarge it or click here to start a slideshow.

Name: Karen
Age: 18
Sign: Libra

It should come as no surprise that Karen has worked at Hot Topic ever since she was old enough. She’s not a big fan of people in general, but she’s a sucker for piercings and tattoos. She’d love to either be a piercer or end up in the music business … and she is way out of Joel’s league.

1. Why should Joel be your friend?

Because I’m awesome.

2. What are five random words that describe yourself?

Crazy, fiesty, silly, cute, outgoing

3. If Joel gave you a gun with three bullets (and Leonardo DiCaprio was already dead), what three celebrities would you shoot and why?

Paris Hilton because – well, isn’t it obvious? Lindsay Lohan, again very obvious, and probably Britney Spears just because.

4. What would be the perfect way to spend a day with Joel (assuming he allows you to hang with him)?

Go to a crazy death metal show or maybe the beach … or maybe shopping in NYC.

5. Joel just really pissed you off. You have ten seconds to tell him off. What do you say?

“Fuck you,” and then I probably beat the shit out of him.

6. Can Joel borrow five bucks?

I’m a poor college kid, so no. Sorry.

Tara’s photos – Boston’s St. Patrick’s Day parade

March 21, 2006 Boxcar Betties, Tara No Comments

Happy belated St. Patrick’s Day from your favorite hobo babe!

I hope you all had a great weekend. Mine was chock full of drinking, screwing and fighting … well, maybe not fighting in the literal sense, but I spent Sunday pushing my way through a crowd of 850,000 of my closest friends/drinking buddies to witness the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade in South Boston. The parade in South Boston is the second largest in the country, and, in my opinion, the best. I mean, come on, is there a more Irish city in the U.S. than Boston? I think not. This year’s parade honoring Ireland’s patron saint was no exception.

I managed to secure a spot close to the sidelines to watch all of the action. I bopped along as a constant stream of pipe and drum corps, maching bands and assorted local crazies sauntered down the street. There were hot two-stepping cheerleaders, sexy-legged men in a rainbow of tartans, Boston firefighters with cigarettes dangling from their lips and festooned with green beads. I managed to score a few strands of beads myself, and, for the first time in my life, didn’t even have to flash the goods! Which was good, considering the temperature was a balmy 30 degrees, and to use the phrase “a tiddly bit nipply” would be quite the understatement.

The highlight of the parade for me? Waving at the marching league of Storm Troopers, complete with Darth Vader in tow. I swear, Boston has it ALL.

As I spent my afternoon pondering the meaning of life at the bottom of a pint of Guinness, I could only hope that many of you were doing the same. So, enjoy my pictures of the festivities. I wish some of you had been there partying with me, your favorite lush-iously sexy Irish lass.

Cheers!

xoxo

Just Friends – Sarah

February 14, 2006 Boxcar Betties, Just Friends No Comments




Click on a photo to enlarge it or click here to start a slideshow.

Name: Sarah
Age: 24
Sign: Leo/Virgo Cusp

Sarah is a domestic animal trainer at Sea World, Orlando, so she has lots of experience dealing with wild animals, which may explain her friendship with Joel. She collects action figures and metal lunch boxes and spends her free time sleeping, eating junk food, watching crap TV and playing in as many amusement parks as she can. The former dancer says she is very bendy, but she claims to have ugly feet. Of course, we happen to think that she is drop dead gorgeous … and way out of Joel’s league.

1. How long have you and Joel been friends?

Hmmm… I guess a couple of years now.

2. What do you think of him?

He’s a disgusting pervert. I hate him.

2b. No, what do you really think of him?

That is what I really think of him …

3. If Joel gave you a gun with three bullets (and Leonardo DiCaprio was already dead), what three celebrities would you shoot and why?

First I would choose Scarlet Johansen. She litters. Next up, Katie Holmes. What an idiot! I want to punch her in the jaw to straighten her mouth out. Last but not least, Colin Farrell. He’s so dirty. I want to give him a bath.

4. What would be the perfect way to spend a day with Joel (assuming he allows you to hang with him)?

A long walk on the beach and a swim in the ocean … oh, wait. I’m scared of fish and those little thingies that dig in the sand. Um … dinner at a nice restaurant … er, I don’t like eating in restaurants. I’m going to go with eating ice cream and playing video games in our jammies.

5. What are five random words that describe Joel?

Dignified, squishy, metallic, hairy, energetic.

6. Joel just really pissed you off. You have ten seconds to tell him off. What do you say?

I’d just kick him in the nuts.

7. Can Joel borrow five bucks?

Five bucks?!? Please … I’m a poor animal trainer!
