Ex-NFL star and eternal Twitter legend Chad Johnson did a pretty awesome thing over the weekend -- something so cool it's still worth revisiting.
Johnson, the artist formerly known as Ochocinco, showed a homeless man called Porkchop a fun weekend after a chance meeting in Miami. Better yet? Johnson posted a continuous stream of Twitter updates letting his 4.4 million followers in on the good times.
It all started, apparently, when Porkchop randomly asked Johnson for a beer on Saturday, but then this happened instead:
Homeless dude asked for a beer, I bought him a case of a 24 n a pack of Newports, we balling together fuck it... twitter.com/ochocinco/stat…— Chad Johnson (@ochocinco) April 27, 2013
Looks like they had fun. Johnson then posted this tweet a few hours later:
Spent my whole day with Robert "PorkChop" he doesn't know his last name, at Urban Outfitters, taking him to club Dream for an hour or so— Chad Johnson (@ochocinco) April 28, 2013
True to his word, Johnson then posted these two before and after shots showing Porkchop's makeover:

After... PePe and PorkChop twitter.com/ochocinco/stat…— Chad Johnson (@ochocinco) April 28, 2013
No sartorial detail was left untended:
"PorkChop" shoe and sock game is on point tonight... twitter.com/ochocinco/stat…— Chad Johnson (@ochocinco) April 28, 2013
If ZZ Top has taught us anything, it's that every girl is crazy about a sharply dressed man. Indeed, Johnson set a lofty Saturday night goal for himself and his new friend:
I think I can get him laid tonight... — Chad Johnson (@ochocinco) April 28, 2013
No word on how that worked out, but Johnson and Porkchop were back at it on Sunday afternoon:
Day 2 with PorkChop at "The Clevelander" he's killing everybody with new Jordan's plus he talking to some chick twitter.com/ochocinco/stat…— Chad Johnson (@ochocinco) April 28, 2013
They spent the rest of the day hanging out, too, followed by some dancing:
PorkChop hitting the Josephine Johnnie to Salsa Music, he's from New Orleans so that's the only move he knows.. twitter.com/ochocinco/stat…— Chad Johnson (@ochocinco) April 29, 2013
They also hit up a club called Mango's:
In Mangos with PorkChop still turning up... twitter.com/ochocinco/stat…— Chad Johnson (@ochocinco) April 29, 2013
Johnson, who last played in the NFL for just a brief stretch of the 2012 season, also pointed out something he and Porkchop have in common:
Probably just take him home to chill, neither one of us work so fuck it RT @lu_mookofficial: what happens to porkchop when the night ends?— Chad Johnson (@ochocinco) April 29, 2013
Near the end of the night, Johnson waxed slightly nostalgic about his time with Porkchop:
Night with PorkChop is winding down... Fun times for 48 hours straight... twitter.com/ochocinco/stat…— Chad Johnson (@ochocinco) April 29, 2013
Then, on Monday, he came to a stunning realization:
This fool PorkChop is famous now— Chad Johnson (@ochocinco) April 30, 2013
All thanks to you, Chad. All thanks to you.
