I have been known to trash dive on occasion. After all, who hasn’t? You’re walking down the street and spot some gem sitting on a neighbor’s curb… You have to pick it up! My greatest, and most guilt-inducing, find was a picture frame. While on the curb it framed a picture of the Last Supper, which I definitely did not want. So I popped out the picture, left it on the curb and walked off with the frame. And yes, I will go to hell for that.
Last night I needed to get a table (a piece of deck furniture that has been serving as a computer table for entirely too long) off to GoodWill. It wouldn’t fit in my car and I certainly wasn’t ready to lug it for a couple miles. So I left it on my curb for some happy trash diver. And sure enough, this morning it was gone.

Hi, this is for a really old post, but I can’t seem to find a way to comment on that one, so I’ll comment here… You posted in 2004 about your friend using the word “lurpy”, but I wanted to tell you that in Central Pennsylvania, that term is used by many people (in the Hollidaysburg/Altoona region) to describe someone that is gangly, or way too tall/disproportionate in such a way. And it’s not a good thing either. Just an FYI, your friend has a nice spin on the word, but it has definately been used for well over a decade elsewhere 🙂
