    i really don't understand how raiding garbage came to be illegal....if anything, it's saving the environment by a small amount. oh well...don't worry, buddy, the won't get me ^.^

    nah, but the water smelled like hell and was completely discolored. i supposes you could evaporate all the water and scrape out the oils.


    lately the dumpsters have been lackluster.

    When have they ever been anything but lackluster. LMAO

    I did get an email this week with a made over gabage truck that was converted to a motor home with 2 levels. Quite the travel quarters.

    garmoon- I hear you buddy !

    went yesterday & not much not even much trash ! I guess if we found cases & computers & Hookah's all the time we'd get spoiled ( Spoiled Garbage - A play on words Lol! ) anyhow I think it's like the old saying about gambling , If you won all the time they'd call it winning and not gambling ! It seems to come and go in waves - you find oodles of cases and then it dries up ! then Oodles again ! I guess we just have to ride the wave when it comes in ! Here's hoping Surf's Up for all of us - Good luck garmoon
    & friends - Hey sounds like a Japanese kids Tv show !Happy diving !Ciao!

    garmoon- I remember seeing a B'movie about a Viet Nam veteran who's buddy get's killed by street gang/thugs & he converted a garbage truck into a warwagon/ APC - Pretty decent for a B'movie but I don't remeber the title !- He uses the truck to get revenge for his buddy!

    @Garmoon...guess I was showing my age there with the Andy Taylor and Barnie Fife comment! Auslander would be well fed though as "Ant Bea" delivers lunch.

    We should picket or something: dumpsters should be nice and clean and only useful stuff should be allowed...that, or perhaps a "recycling bin" of a different sort.

    Speaking of using trucks for revenge (though this ain't revenge, I guess): every tuesday morning, in downtown Philadelphia, they have this truck that looks like a gasoline tanker...it has this rotary sprayer on the back and it drenches the pavement in the street with the soapy water solution but you must be careful because it covers half the sidewalk as well. You can tell the locals from the burb folks or the tourists because the locals know whats coming and duck while the others get drenched. You'd think they have the sense todo that at the wee hours but they wait until rush-hour. I never could figure out the purpose of spraying soapy water on the road surface; must have a purpose other than cleaning.

    @BIGTOXY69

    The movie doesn't ring a bell with me.Have you ever just ask one of the kids at BB for the empty boxes. They have given them to me. And yes there was garbage in the bag also but not much.

    gerry1-The soapy water may have not been for cleaning so much ,perhaps but to keep down dust- although if you have paved - roads that should'nt be too nuch of a problem ! Crushed rock, Gravel, Ballast ect... That turns to dust/ powder quite quickly ,particularly when driven over by heavy vehicles- and when it's dry like sumnmer time It's dustbowl days again in Oklahoma !!!! maybe a combination of cleaning & dust prevention! Or perhaps the sreet people just refuse to bathe LOL!!!! maybe the mayor's brother owns a bodyshop & soapy streets cause more accidents? Ponderous isn't it? Anyhow good luck ,Dive safe, Be happy !

    Also, the little black bar at the top, click on "My Account", at the left. Then go down and click on "See List Of Your Forum Posts", 5th link down under "Functions". Can get here very easily, that way too.
    In case you're not familiar with that, it show's every post you've ever made here. Easy to find them all.

    Of course, stickied would be nice too. But remember..... they locked the thread for awhile, because somebody complained. It was right after nailedny posted about barfing. :eek:)

    I had to almost beg a mod to reopen it. That's when he moved it here. So, I kinda doubt they'll make it a stickie.....
