I really enjoy this Portlandia skit about dumpster diving. I'm not bashing it in anyway, I love dumpster diving. There are so many treasures that people throw away. Some of my best furniture has been found on the side of the street.

Thats hilarious! The guys rat tail is great haha. But yeah, minus my bed, everything I had in my room was from a dumpster. Dumpsters are very weird. Once something is in a dumpsters, its like that thing increases in potential value. I will throw something away because I dont have a need for it anymore. But if I were to find that thing in a dumpster, I could think of so many ways it would be reused.

Hahaha, that's awesome. Do you watch Portlandia regularly? Also, do you live in an area where a lot of rich people throw out really nice things?

I have never heard of it before you linked it. And yeah I do, but the business is located in a city and doesn't bother with home remodeling or anything like that. Most of the business comes from special waste (asbestos) and random construction sites, so when interesting things do come in its usually from sites that are demolishing an old factory or house. And sorry for the late reply, I have been busy with my last essay of the semester.
