I ate out of a trash can yesterday...
The wife, child and I went to a local waterpark for some cooling off, on the way in, we finished off a can of Coke so I stashed the can in order to grab it on the way out (its worth a nickel).
A do-gooder picked up my can and tossed it in the trash can so I went digging for it.
I found my can-along with two other cans and came across a Burger King bag full of some of kind breakfast croissant things.
There were 8 of them in the bag along with the receipt showing they were purchased at 1435, I found them at 1550...still warm.
12.00 and some one threw them away.
I ate three of them, shared two with a squirrel and two went to my dog.
I gave the last one to a raccoon last night.
Saddens me that in this land of so much hunger and want that some people will buy and then toss such thing.
Hmph.
I am not so poor as to eat out of trash cans any more but I remember, back in the day how a score like this would have made my week.

So anyway, this DUmmy is scrabbling around inside a park trash can, opening fast food bags, and comes across some food scraps before the maggots could hatch. In democrat culture, this qualifies as a "score".
DUmmies are so envious of this guy having the idea to spin this bouncy tale, they are beside themselves. A couple of noobs post "I was so poor that.." jokes which will be taken seriously at the DUmp, and help them build street cred:

1. It was a long time ago and for a very short period of time but...
it would have made my week too. I never waste food. I can make the best soup ever from celery and carrot tops and the peels of apples and onion and herbs from the backyard. Once you have not had food you never forget what it feels like.

Response to Original message Yep, I was a "picky eater" until I moved out of the bu house and at times ate nothing for the week, but tomato sandwiches 'til I ran out of bread, fried okra that a friends mother gave us, cereal by recycling the milk through it long enough to wet it then poured it off for another bowl at another time.
I have to admit, that milk tale is a new one for me. I am surprised DUmmy bobbolink hasn't shown up.

...but they have internet access.
Priorities. The DUmmies are f'ed.

This DUmbass can't tell time worth a damn....
Purchased at 1435, that's 2:35 pm....
Found at 1550, that's 3:50 pm
1200 (noon) and they were thrown away???? :thatsright:
1. How did he know WHEN they were thrown away?
2. How could they be thrown away BEFORE they were even purchased?
I wonder if DUmbass checked the DATE on the receipt. They may have been there since yesterday afternoon, or the DUmbass is lying, since he gave himself away by saying it was 1200 and were thrown away.... :loser:
But then again, I'm just a knuckle dragging conservative.... :tongue:

DUmmie, "We were so poor."
Other DUmmies, "How poor were you?"
DUmmie, "We were so poor...........that my daddy had to work.....I mean really work. Oh the shame, the humiliation.....but that was before Obama."

BK serves breakfast all day?

Why don't you go ahead and throw an old boot in there? Wonder how this compares with Greenbriar's gawdawful soup recipe.

Onethatcares sez:
I remember making a pot of chili that lasted almost 9 days, then it got some green stuff on the top
And a lousy christianista fundy chimes in when the topic turns to weddings:
Friends brought pot-luck (as is the custom in our faith community). No alcohol (as is also the custom in our faith community)
God save me from weddings like that!

i think the 12.00 should have read $12.00.

Exactly. I think they stop selling Croissanwiches at about 10:30 AM.

Maybe food cools off quicker down here in Georgia, but if they were still warm after an hour and fifteen minutes (unless I figured it wrong) them suckers were hot as hell at 1436.

There's probably some heat generated by rotting garbage in the can.
Garbage cans in many public parks aren't emptied very often.

No kidding. I don't know about anybody else, but eating food that has been sitting in trash on a hot day seems like a good way to get yourself really sick.

Maybe the clock on the register was wrong? Nah, no way that could happen. :uhsure:

I'd have believed that if they had been McDonalds' apple pies, since they start off at something approaching the temperature of the sun. :-)

God willing.

Yup. No BK I've ever been to sold them in the P.M.
DUmmies lie even when there's no point to it, just for the sake of lying.

His wife and child must be really proud. :whatever:

I don't know where they got those croissants, but at our local BK, they go for over $2.00 a pop.
8 would have been $16-18....

OMG ! do they still serve the deep-fried eggroll-like pies in the UK ? those were AWESOME, especially the cherry ones. biting into a whole cherry in one of those was like biting into a ball of lava. Now we have these baked things that are a weak substitute for the original pies of doom.

Yep, 10:30 is the cut off time for breakfast. So if he actually ate dumpster sandwiches :lmao:, they were at least five hours old. Considering that it is summer, being warm could merely have been from sitting in a hot dumpster in the sun, and possibly with the onset of composting of surrounding trash. :rotf:
But don't let a good thing go to waste. :loser:

I told the VRWC Bait Team that none of the fast food places sell breakfast crap after 11AM, and that this ruse would never work. Guess I was wrong.

4. I watched a program called Platinum Weddings last night. I don't remember what I was watching before it because I sure didn't turn it on. Anyways, it's no-holds-barred weddings for the mega-rich, $500,000 shindigs. Unreal that anybody would think they deserve to spend that kind of money on themselves.

17. I would never do what these people did. Never. And I certainly wouldn't pretend I was being friendly to the planet because I used soy candles while powering 3 separate reception rooms including a disco. If I did spend that kind of money on something, I'd at last make sure all the gifts went to some kind of charity.
:whatever: Sounds like someone has sandnsea in their vagina.

8. Our wedding - with about 135 guests was around $800.
They fed the guests using the previous wedding's garbage.

Uh, just how does he know why they tossed 'em? Could be the dog pissed on the sack is the reason they were still "warm"!
Not to worry, I'm sure there was no bubonic plague or tetnus or e-coli, right? What a frikkin' idiot! If he gets lock jaw, it will serve him right!

I think most of the male DUmmies suffer from lockjaw... but it ain't from eating out of the garbage. :lmao:

I was so poor.... I remember as a kid once we actually warmed up a bag of hamburger helper without hamburger and shared it five ways.
Then dad came home and we all ate like pigs.
The end.

I wonder if sandnsea has any idea what kind of expense and waste goes into the average White House State dinner....
This has been a VERY amusing thread. I can't decide which comments are funnier - theirs or ours. :-)

Actually, Jack in the Box sells Breakfast Jacks all day. Come to think of it, IIRC, they sell their entire breakfast menu all day....mmmmmmm...
