      well then, what's your theory?
      have you concidered the hob goblin connection?

          hob·gob·lin:

          1) an ugly, mischievous elf or goblin.
          2) an object or a source of fear, dread, or harassment; a bugbear: “a foolish
          consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds” (ralph waldo emerson).

          conclusion: were hobgoblins to be hobos they would be "hobo hobgoblins"

          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

          gob·lin:

          1) a grotesque elfin creature of folklore, thought to work mischief or evil.
          2) a small grotesque supernatural creature that makes trouble for human beings

          conclusion: were goblins to be hobos they would be "hobo goblins"

          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

          gobbelin: this woman's last name: www.tiffanygobbelin.com

          conclusion: "hobo gobbelins" would be hobo relatives of this woman
