  1. Best not trust a fart for the next few days.
  2. So what you are saying is no one wants to be on a jump plane with you for the next 24 to 48 hours?!!? ;-p
  3. If it's really brass, I'd give it a try taking it to a scrap yard to see what they'd give you for it, but if it's plated something, probably not worth it. Can't tell you how many hours I sat with my Dad stripping romex to get the copper. He worked for years in a department store and it seemed they were always redoing something here or there where they were rewiring because dad was always bringing home stuff they had pulled out. He's 86, retired years ago and it was just this past year while I was visiting him for an extended period that we got it all stripped and to the scrapper. He had piles of it in the cellar that he wouldn't just throw out because "it's worth money", but he just wasn't getting around to doing anything about.
  4. Do y'all ever get any copper pipe? Now there's where the bucks are! I suppose you don't see much lead pipe here, if ever, here in the-peoples-republic of.
  5. I'm always surprised how much my recycle bin fills up more than my trash bin in a normal week. But it's mostly due to card board boxes going out which I'm to lazy to totally break down. I do hope the card board I throw out in the recycle bin gets used and doesn't get rerouted to the landfill. I can remember when one could get cash for used news print and card board, but not anymore.
  6. So you don't get any money for it? That's a drag. We've got free (to us) curbside recycling where I'm at. I don't seem to accumulate enough plastic bottles and cans to make it worth my while to haul it to one of the local places that will give you a few cents per pound for it. So it all goes in the recycle bin and out to the curb every other week. Sometimes I see folks going down the street ahead of when the truck comes picking the aluminum cans out of folks recycle bins, which I don't mind, as long as they don't make a mess. I figure they could use the money more than me. Supposedly the stuff from the recycle bins goes to a sorting center where they divide stuff up and then it goes off to someplace where it is processed further. What isn't fit for recycling, then goes to the landfill. I've often wondered if these places, sorting centers, really even pay for themselves or if they're just a subsidized, make-work, program? Mostly I doubt it figuring that aluminum is the only thing that is really worth anything. I'm not sure how much they can get from plastic? And I've always wondered how they deal with unsorted and probably a lot of broken glass of mixed color? I've heard they have machines that can sort glass by color now, but I'm guessing they aren't cheap. Maybe they get a little money too for the steel jar lids and bottle caps and what-not that are mixed in and that would be easy to pull out with an electro-magnet. Anyway, I hope it's going to some good use. I'd hate to hear that it doesn't even cover the cost of the operation. That is cool! Never heard of anything like that, but can't say as I've gone looking either. Will have to try to remember to look around to see if there is anyone in my area that will take an old, but working fridge if / when I need to replace mine. Why didn't you take it to the Dropzone? That's the "traditional" way of recycling old carpet. That's how I've seen most every packing area get carpeted.
  7. Put a cork in it! http://www.pinterest.com/diverdaisy/wine-cork-crafts/
  8. Nice looking pussy y'all got there N@. ;-)
  9. Scrapper's yard is like 4 - 5 blocks from my house. 5 min to throw old dryer in back of Jeep. Less than 5 min to drive over there. Dude at scrap yard did the rest. Easy 6 bucks!
  10. Okay, some I'm no greenie tree-hugger, but getting cash for junk is COOL! Today, I took an old broken down clothes dryer to the scrap-yard instead of just hauling it to the dump and got $6 for it. Paid for my lunch!
  11. Yes, I could see where a claymore would be useful against zombies.
  12. I'd guess it involves process of elimination. No injuries. No evidence of foul play. Negative toxicology report. Etc. He was found in Death Valley in the middle of July, dead without water, must be he died of heat related issues is the most likely cause of death. I'm sure there's more to it than that, but I'd guess that's the jist of it. Is there a forensics scientist in the house?
  13. Was he dead or still alive? If alive, he was lucky. Over the years, I've heard more than a few stories of folks going missing in the Mojave Desert only to be found months or even years later all mummified like.
  14. .45 because shooting zombies twice is just a fucking waste of ammo
  15. Fuck Zombies... well not really... Keep Calm and Fucking Shoot Zombies! ** While pounding a Fosters Ale **
