Cap'n Canuck says:

I bet that sign was stolen off of the original panhandler. ;)
Chances are he would not be good at fighting back yet.

BIll did you take this picture for real? 'Cause if you did then that means this bumb ripped off some other bumb because i've seen that same sign elsewhere on the internet by a different guy. too funny.

Bill Adams says:

"Did you take this picture for real?"

I won't dignify that question with an answer, but will suggest you check out the earlier comment from benrobertsabq.

Each time I visit Seattle I'll come across at least one of the hundreds of local panhandlers working a corner with some variation of this sign. I've seen it in other cities, as well.

nal from miami says:

Bill! www.flickr.com/groups/killedbyninjas/ is not a flicker group, Is it?

My favorite panhandler has the "I'm thirsty. Need money for beer" sign. It gets a quarter from me every time. Love his honesty.

Blog away, Marty! Thanks for asking!

Aubrey, thanks for the Ninja lesson!

I visit Seattle on numerous occasions each year. Sometimes I visit quietly, such as was the case with this particular trip of last week.

Great food, good shopping and very nice and interesting people are found in this city. It's always been one of my favorite ports of call...

Bill Adams says:

Hey, Everybody! Thank you for the views, comments, faves and invites on this one!

Be aware there's a Flickr user out there who's decided it's okay to blog copyrighted photos without first seeking permission.

His Flickr screen name is: sflrunner and his blog can be found here.

In addition, when confronted about his illegal use of copyrighted images, he'll resort to slander in a feeble attempt to defend himself.

Again, be aware...
Posted 31 months ago. ( permalink )

Cap'n Canuck says:

Slander is spoken & Liable is in print or written. :) I think that this guy has no sense of humor or respect for other people.
I don't ever use bad words but that guy is an ass. (well maybe just once)
Posted 31 months ago. ( permalink )

Bill Adams says:

Then "libel" it is!

Regardless, I don't want this to meander into a "diss-the-thief" thread. Just want to make people aware of his existence.

My photos can only be blogged by those I have flagged "Friends" and/or "Family" -- People I've flagged as such are known to be considerate enough to either ask before blogging or inform me shortly after the blogging has occurred.

There are automated ways to be informed when your images show up on somebody's blog or other web-based presence. Friends can FlickrMail me if they'd like more information about this.

My mother called me "Billy" once.

Like Chris Rock says.... If a homeless person has a funny sign, he hasn't been homeless that long. A real homeless person is too hungry to be funny.
