For my Street Performer Friends

[terribleturnip]

It's sort of a sad story, poor guy. I mean he's just a street performer, trying to make a living. Of course, unsanctioned/scheduled by any municipal body. Without any form of ID on him. With an arsenal of swords. On the streets of New York. Where the cops are really not into negotiating...but what I love is this line: "I was locked up with junkies, sexual offenders and four break-dancers"

I don't think that's fair to break-dancers, really, to lump them in like that. On the other hand, MIMES...well, THAT would be venturing into waterboarding territory.
