According to his sister, a head injury is what brought him to this lifestyle in the first place. I also didn't know he had been on Jay Leno's show.
What a great story. Thanks for posting that.

I agree, it is a good article, altho KXAN has some much crap on that webpage, it took a LONG time for my computer to even load it.

How do they know he "fell" and wasn't hit in the head?

I haven't read that they definitively determined that but if they have, doctors can tell by the type of injury and bruising. I am sure they use the same methods that are used when determining whether a child has been a victim of abuse rather suffering from a fall as abusers might claim when bringing an unresponsive child into an ER.

Default How is Leslie the famous Austin cross-dresser recovering from his stroke?

I haven't heard that he died yet, but the local news is pretty mum about it....maybe he's dead....who knows?

Austin's "Leslie" in Critical Condition - Austin, homeless, Leslie, thong, icon | Austin Post#

Question..if he passed, would you attend his funeral?

Honestly, you might see a huge turnout for the same.....with a New Orleans brass band in tow.......

What can I say? The man(women) is loved!

--------------------------------------------

Shoot.....they just said that he's in a vegetative state......sad.....guess that's the end of his "showing his butt cheeks through his thong" days.....was worth a whole trainload of laughs while it lasted, nevertheless....



Leslie Cochran.......may he rest in peace if he indeed has already passed.........
(pic is wikipedia-approved public domain, found on the same)

side question...why do homeless guys always have a full head of hair....do the lice and mites serve emit a minoxidyl-like residue? Or are they just blessed by God?

I just read an article in the paper today that he's recovering and doing a lot better, and can speak. He can't remember how he got hurt, but they think he fell and hit his head.
