Welcome to Jeff the Bum, a blog dedicated to the creation of a television sit-com about homeless people.
Jeff the Bum was the local bum in a small town called Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The town was so small he was the only bum, and he lived in a Salvation Army drop off dumpster beside a grocery store downtown.
This is a group run blog, everyone can help write the shows. A wiki approach to script writing.
My screen name is hobo soup, and since I'm the moderator, I'll explain a little about this project.
As a child I wanted to be homeless. It was a very romantic notion to me. Now that I'm older, it looks a lot more difficult than I realized. But I hope this sit-com can recapture some of the innocence I had with the subject.
Having written a few short stories about the topic, a friend, Lyle, suggested we write a sit-com. That whisper was overheard by Oggy, another friend, who has given homelessness a serious try. He wanted to be in as well.
So Lyle and Oggy will be writing and publishing posts along with me, and if you care to join in, start by commenting, and it will be obvious if you should have a password to join the inner sanctum or not.
In a short while this page will be embedded within My Robot Is Pregnant, but until I get help with that, it is free standing.
