I had that Hodgman book, and I remember all the stuff about hobos lol… I was pretty young at the time, and couldn’t tell if the stuff he wrote about “the hobo code” and “hobo nickels” was real. I thought it was satire… But I’m pretty sure it was all true lol.
Oh nice. Cool story.

The hobo code, in particular, is (was?) absolutely real.
The hobo code and hobo nickels made it into the game too. It was fairly comprehensive.
