SWG Tales

Tonight I decided to clean out the storage room in my basement whilst at the same time throwing out crap that just needed to go from Christmas, etc. The funny thing is, people ALWAYS tend to take the stuff I throw out if it is any value whatsoever. I swear Sanford and Sons lives by me cause they even took my old water heater when I replaced that.

So here is the situation. I got an old toilet that was stored by the previous owners in our basement for centuries. But also a working, but really beat up George Foreman grill. The catch is that I have placed the George Foreman grill on top of the ultra-disgusting and total un-aesthetically pleasing 3rd century BC toilet.

Will it get taken? Will someone take their chances on the George Foreman grill on the old toilet!?!?



Its out there now, waiting. With old crappy golf clubs too. Vote your vote, we'll see what happens tomorrow! Are you excited yet?!

C'mon, you live in Joliet.

Of COURSE someone will take the toliet and leave the grill.

they'll be gone

and you think YOU have Sanford and Son, come live down here...

no matter what I need to throw out, I know it'll get taken, especially if it's made of metal, it'll be gone in just a few hours

all sorts of people scour up that shit to sell for money

I had some shitty gutters that fell off the house, I smashed them up and threw them out back..............gone

a 70's big screen TV that never worked, that the previous renters left behind......gone



your stuff wouldn't last 5 minutes down here, including the toilet

My wife and I call the local junk collectors "Aurora Jawas"...normal people would call them Mexicans in a stake-bed pickup.

I'm betting that not only will they take your Forman Grill, but the toilet will be gone as well. You'll probably find both at Swap-O-Rama this weekend.

How about the lining from a pool with a 4 foot gash in it?

And I don't even live in Joliet.

This just in...

Everything is still there, including the toilet and the grill. I still have high hopes for a successful garbage raid sometime before midnight.

Man I could use some new clubs...

Luck you guys... No one takes anything here in Tacoma. Not that I leave anything by the road, but I've seen people who have. Their stuff sat there for months.

Pickups on blocks don't count.

Just a status check... Everything is still there as of 10pm CST. There may be a gap in my reporting as I will be sleeping soon, so please forgive me. I will check first thing in the morning.

I just call them Mexican Garbage Trucks. I like your term much better.

But I've got all of you fuckers beat.

In my old house (also in Aurora), we threw out our old ghetto patio furniture. I put it all out on the lawn and just as I was about to go put the garbage stickers on all the pieces, a guy rides by on his bike (obviously out scouring for "good" lewt), and asks if he can put aside the chaise lounge chairs and come back with his pickup in a few minutes to grab them (he lived up the street, evidently).

So I allow him to move those further up the driveway so that they wouldn't be taken by anyone else, and an hour later they're gone.

In the morning, however, I go to back out of my driveway, and lo and behold, THEY'RE BACK. The fucker tried lying in them after he got them home, and all of the plastic straps broke (I told you they were ghetto), and so rather than spend the money on garbage stickers for them, he brought them BACK and put them on MY lawn.

That's right. He was an Indian Trash Taker. The most pathetic of the pathetic.

Also, some dude in a fully converted van (complete with fringe!) came by and took the table and chairs.

Did they make it to the garbage?

The garbage company has yet to come. But it would appaear that as of 8:30am CST the Foreman grill and the 60's golf clubs are officially GONE. Yes, someone will soon be eating off of the grill that was thrown away with the disgusting old toilet. YUM.

Jabe

That is absolutely disgusting man, you must live in a crap hole.

Coiy

yes! i knew thad be gone...no one ever comes near our drive way...it goes back like a mile and the glow signs saying "no tresspassers, violaters will be shot" realy cuts down on trash hunters...especaly sence my window has clear line of sight to the trash can....no "you can't see that" messages here!
