THE BOXMAN

I'm the Boxman...give me a dolla!

About Me



I'm the official mascot for Street-People.com, the online home for the homeless, and a place where transients are merely creatures in an online petting zoo without the urine smell. If you'd like to help The Boxman out by donating a dollar or two...he's not picky...click the button below.




"Need Money For Beer" T-shirt now available.



My Interests

panhandling, dumpster dining, entertaining people

I'd like to meet:

Anyone with a dollar, but YOU should meet our featured street-person:



Iceman peddles and balances his bags from Orange Mound out to the Airport to the recycling center to turn his cans into cash. He averages about $5 a day peddling 30 pounds of cans to the recycling center.

Music:

i'll listen to anything if you give me a dollar

Movies:

i'll watch anything if you give me a dollar

Television:

don't have a television, so give me a dollar

Books:

i'll read anything if you give me a dollar

Heroes:

george washington, because he's on the dollar
