@Shagnasty and @SlackerInc are two of the bro-ish misogynistic posters I recall who may have used language like that. ---

Now that you say that my plagiarism meter is signaling signs of @Shagnasty style in **Past\_Paper** ’s prose. IDK if the [@moderators](https://boards.straightdope.com/groups/moderators) use a plagiarism comparison tool but if so, my advice is to give that lead a whirl. ---

This is already being discussed in the mod loop. We’ll decide soon, I think. Weekends can make it more challenging to get a consensus. ---

Maybe you should just close that “homeless” thread I started and just lock it. I didn’t start that thread to “troll” any posters here, I was being completely serious, and I’ve gotten some good replies in there (including learning the term “hobosexual” which is actually a slang term people use, I didn’t know that! 😃 ) ---

He/She/It referred to the LA River as a ‘culvert’. No big deal of itself, but weird. Maybe he saw one of those documentaries on TV about the building of the water supply infrastructure to LA and the concrete channels part stuck in his mind? ETA: Composed and posted this when this thread had just opened with no other posts; saw what’s happened in the interim, decided not to never-mind it. ---

I’m fascinated to learn that the best hotels in Manhattan provide computers and free internet access to homeless bums who wander into their lobby. It’s definitely an innovative business model that’s sure to pay big dividends, especially if the aforementioned homeless bum has not had a bath in several months! ---

I’ve only been to L.A. once and never seen the river, but purely based on its [Wiki page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_River), that does look a lot like a culvert. I mean, they filmed the race scene from _Grease_ there. ---

Large parts are encased in concrete, but not all of it. See the pictures on this site: > **[The Los Angeles River - MRCA](https://mrca.ca.gov/los-angeles-river/)** ---

In LA, what we call culverts are a lot narrower than the LA river. ---

I have seen the LA River in person, and the parts i saw looked a lot like a culvert to me. Yes, a large culvert. But … That thing doesn’t read “river” to my East Coast eyes, at least, not the part that’s a concrete culvert, which is the part I’ve seen. ---

Which is vaguely interesting but still just goes to show the board is basically like a bunch of squirrels and all any troll has to do is toss something shiny at them every now and then and watch the ensuing scramble ---
