One comma away from a mildly amusing attempt at a pre-Godwinning.

I hope he didn't decide to not flush down any used toilet paper.

I guess he doesn't have friends anymore from this.

I remember when the garbage strike hit, I thought how great it was that everyone would be aware of how much garbage they generated, and maybe it would effect their buying habits.

Nah.

I think you meant one comma too many?

Oh lord, the chicken bones alone would be enough to discourage/encourage some of my artist friends.

KFC is for the HAZMAT squad, either way.

"If I'm that stressed out from work where I'm coming home and eating (soy ice cream)."

Holy shiat that is lame. I know vegitarian women who won't eat that shiat it sucks so bad. Be a man and get a drinking habit ya pussy.

He went to farkin harvard, now he is collecting trash?

"As a result, the trash mound helped Derfel get in the best shape of his life. He does more yoga, makes more of his own food." First of this is like one big non sequitur. You had to collect shiat to know how much you threw out to know you sould stop sitting around and get outside? How about just take a pic every week moran? Maybe step on a scale?
I didn't think harvard let in people that dumb... then again you know who went there.

Also alone yoga will not get you in shape (I know he runs too, I just hear I do yoga a lot, from people who want to loose weight).

/cutting people down on the net is fun

And the artists take twenty seven 8x10 color glossy photos with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one describing how it may be used against us in a bad modern art installation.

 
IdeasGuy 2007-12-30 02:03:32 PM  
Would be good for people to realize how much trash they generate. We are a family of four and rarely manage to fill the small bin on a weekly basis. Our neighbors are between one and three people and have the larger one often overflowing.

Same here. My husband and I fill our small bin nearly full each week. Our neighbor couple have 2 and sometimes 3 of the same containers full each week. What gives?

TFA: "When we throw something away, what does 'away' mean?" said Derfel. "There's no such thing as 'away.' "



Du-u-u-u-u-de! Like, wow.

can't he just haul his garbage to the landfill, call the landfill an art project, take credit for calling the landfill art, and call it a day?

dumbass.

My girlfriend already tried this, and failed. No, she's not the slob, I am. The first time she ever visited me she was stunned about the trash I had. She sold the coke cans and made $10. She was biatching about the amount of trash I had, no one would accept it as a artist piece, just recommended not to dump it off a cliff if there was any envelopes with my address on it, because Officer Opie might call (I had to explain that joke to her).

She was a bit shocked when she cleaned up my place, found a shrink wrapped, never been opened box that read 'MS DOS'. She looked to see what it was, printed in 1984, required 264k of RAM and a floppy drive disk to run. She looked at it and said, "My boyfriend is a pack ratting nerd." then asked, "What could you get for this on Ebay?"

I though this dude was kind of a crackpot, until I red this part:

"As a child I wanted to be a Supreme Court justice because I wanted to change the world," Derfel said. "But now I realize I'd rather change one-on-one. Instead of telling other people what they need to do, I can tell myself what to do, and if that inspires, resonates with people, then that's true activism."

That's not only true activism, but true leadership. Inspiring people to live better, rather than forcing them? Forging ahead of people rather than driving people ahead of him? Incredible! As eccentric as this dude seems, he might actually risk being... a man!

I think it's cool. Even if his project goes no where else from here, he's one more person who has a greater awareness of his impact on the environment.

Yesterday my husband made fun of me taking reusable totes to the store instead of using plastic bags. I don't have power over a lot of things, but I do have power over how I live my life. One less driver or one less bag may mean nothing, but I choose to try.

Garbage in. Garbage out. 1000110 1010100 1010111

 
superdude72 2007-12-30 03:02:15 PM  
Ever since SF banned plastic grocery bags, the supermarkets have been using these large, super-durable paper bags. I like them a lot better. I don't find myself taking them back to the grocery store to be reused, but at least they get recycled and aren't choking up some landfill. If my grocery bill has gone up as a result of the stores using bags that don't spill out all their contents as I'm riding the bus home, I haven't noticed.

 
ScottMpls 2007-12-30 03:20:59 PM  
I saw an exhibit in a small gallery/coffee shop where the "artist" glued some of her garbage to cardboard pieces, along with some paint. She was pretty PO'd when a few grade school kids started making fun of it.

I came here for a quote.
Thank you, sir.

Sad attempt at art. I hope some one goes after him with shovels, rakes and other implements of destruction.

I sure need to find an artist to donate all these empty sandwich baggies and used condoms to. Take out food boxes too.

I disagree. Having observed this statement I can state with certainty that it is full of win.

You are a complete whackjob and I hope you get fined by the city and your place gets condemned.
