WORLD HOBO
------ AKA: WHOBO ------
----------------------------------
What is a Whobo?
(hō'bō) n. pl. who·bos (or lesser ho·bos)
A whobo is a legendary bread of hobo that leaps and bounds over the endless wastelands of northern Ontario. They came into existence through a freak accident during the great hobo migration of the 1940's when there were just so many hobos, the hobo gang riots were uncontrollable. Many innocent hobos were driven from their native stoops and overpasses, forced to wander endlessly in search of a new home. Once there, they found the harsh conditions unbearable and were forced to mutate to survive. Thus came into being the gibbering madmen known as whobos. Their howls fill the night skies and all who hear them quake in terror. The unfortunate few who wander into their domain never return. And that my friends is the story of why Northern Ontario is sparsely populated to this very day. The whobos.
The other (and more accurate) definition: WHOBO is a three day tournament event in Houston TX held on Easter weekend, April 10th-12th. It's got over 15 different tournaments going on, including 5 Brawl tournaments, SBO qualifiers, Soul Calibur National qualifiers, and over 10 other fighter tournaments. Over 200+ players are guaranteed to attend! Plus, the Brawl tournaments are sponsored to have an extra $1000 added to the 1v1 pot!
