- HOWEVER you slice the Pizza it still Taste the same ! Details , Details ! Yeah Technically Using a Grabber or Grabbing a Bag Or Box Full of DVD cases , Movies, Poster's or Other { BOOTIE } { Argh!!!} Isn't Dumpster Diving ? But Technically When your Burning a CDR or DVD-R or DVD+R or DVD+R DL your not making a CD or DVD cause they are Pressed like Vinyl Records Are/were ( He remembers Vinyl ! he must Be the Ancient one ?} But I'n common non -Tweek terms most people say they're Making a DVD or CD ! So I say Whatever works Boxes , Bags , Grabbers ,Hooks ext... !!!! Besides I've Seen the Inside of enough Dumpsters in my Life - Why dou you think sQuatch's Smell Like Garbage ? - I think With all respect To DDp that THe Ruling should Be amended to that if Your Head and upper torso ( from waistline to Topknot ) Are inside the Dumpster Then your Diving !!!! IMHO anyway !!! Besides - Cat Tranquilizers Give me really bad Hangovers ( Ketamine) And I take Offense at Being referred to in the Tranquilizer label as a Sub-Human Primate !!!!-But those are Just Technicalitites !!!! right !!! And it was'nt till recently That I started Finding Bags !normally the BB clerks overload the bags if they use them at all so when they Chuck'em it's DVD case Pinata`- Tyme !!!! But to each their own I suppose ? And to quote the Cosmic Guru and Deacon of Dumpster-Daring Doo !!! Jvc " free IS FREE "

@bigtoxy
I am old enough to have some of these, that weren't vinyl.
78 rpm materials
Early disc records were made of various materials including hard rubber. From 1897 onwards, earlier materials were largely replaced by a rather brittle formula of 25% shellac, a filler of a cotton compound similar to manila paper, powdered slate, and a small amount of a wax lubricant. The mass production of shellac records began in 1898 in Hanover, Germany, and continued until the end of the 78-rpm format in the late 1950s. "Unbreakable" records, usually of celluloid on a pasteboard base, were made from 1904 onwards, but they suffered from an exceptionally high level of surface noise. "Unbreakable" records could be bent, broken, or otherwise damaged; but not nearly as easily as shellac records. Vinyl was first tried out as a 78 rpm record material in 1940 due to material restrictions. Decca introduced vinyl "Deccalite" 78s after the Second World War, and Victor made some vinyl 78s, but other labels would restrict vinyl production to the newer 33 and 45 formats.

I've had every technology since there were records and up. Had a 78 player and then the RCA 45 player then a 33 all by the time in high school. Wish I had the 45 player back they are so cool.
Have a good Mother's Day where ever you'll be celebrating. Leaving now for festivities.

Excellent diving by all accounts, my boy! You'll have to get yourself a "County Dumpster Inspector" magnet for your vehicle to sidestep unoccupied employees. I include them in my Junior Dumpster Diver Kits that I sell on eBay (*Not an endorsement or recommendation for goods or services, although this kit [which includes starter tongs, inspector magnet, splatter-proof plastic bags, and a golf towel] is far superior to other dumpster diving kits on the market in every respect and comes with a 30-day money back guarantee). Tell 'em RippDogg sent you and I'll throw in a coupon for ten free dives at my new Dumpster Adventure, next to the climbing wall @ Ten Oaks Mall.

RippDogg- Of course I Could Just Get a Crossbow And PLay Mutual Of Omaha { Wild KIngdom )And Dart The Suckers With Some Ketamine ( Cat & SUBHUMAN Primate TranQuilizer !!!!!! THat Would Be Poetic JUstice Don'T Ya' Think????? - I Figure That They all Must have A Hot Date With the NEptune's Manager LadY in the Backroom ? WHy else would you show up 2-3 hours before the store opens & Not getting Paid for it either ???? - On the Magnet Business ? I Got A Digital Camera & Two printers I think I can manage ? - Besides Who's gonna Believe A sasQuatch is a Dumpster INspector anyways ? - I say Take a GOOD look at the truck & Unifioorms Take a PIcture of the Logo & Print your own magnet then scour the Second hand stores for a uniform !!!!- No worries as the CRocodile Dundee Would say There are Other Dumpsters & Other Blockbusters just not as close ! What can I say it's like Peanuts or PacMan it's just so darn addictive !!!!!- Well That's about it Go Forth My Son and Sin no more Cheers !!!

Now RippDogg I don't know if I could trust your dumpster diving kit with free coupons or buy a car from you!I know where 12 oaks mall but it seems you have me over the barrel with 10 Oaks mall. Could this be a snipe hunt by chance? LOL By the way last diveat BB I was greeted by the County Mounty and had to share the small haul with him.! Of course he took the dry ones.In need of a very good book on making furniture out of cases. RippDogg , maybe.

@ BigT-You might have to wear a helmet-mounted camera when you dart the sucker; video of a wookie w/ a crossbow and a camera strapped to his head chasing a hapless, squealing BB worker around a parking lot at 7am is bound to get a few hits.
@ Chris-I haven't done much w/ the furniture but I've got a few ideas brewing (Halloween-Dumpster of Doom, Christmas-DumpsterHolidayLand, Easter-Colored Cases, etc). It seems like the furniture thing could float (lol) but external suppliers would surely catch on and next thing you know I'm into some Cincinnati case dealer for great sums and he's got fat guys in Reds jerseys threatening to break my legs. Nah, I'll stick to my business plan. Besides, with all the layoffs up here, these kits are selling like crazy.

Ah don't worry about them fat guys in Red Jerseys their all old and slow like their Uncle Pete! JVC and BigToxy taught me free is free but didn't warn about the addiction part and no self respecting treatment centers will accept me.So now the neighbors are on me to mow the grass but the lawn mower is somewhere in the shed with the cases! Maybe i'll make a patio with them paint the black ones green and put lights in the green ones to light my way!

Other Than Kickin' A** & Taking names , Holographic Chess, and Ruining Ewok Women for Other Ewoks ! They're Biggest Talent is Projectile Hairball Spitting !!! With Deadly Accuracy !!!! And you though Camels were Disgusting ? sQuatches on the Other hand or A more Noble Breed !!!!

He's Back- Just when you though it was safe to go back in the dumpster !!!!!!!!. went TuesDay A.M. and got 3bags with the cases still loaded with the movies replete with the yellow lock stick in place ! I opened one just to verify that it had a movie (It does/did ) can't garrantee that the rest will as I have'nt sorted & stored them yet ! so I have'nt opened but the first one ! THis was at old faithful ( my 1st stop /dumpster) Then it was on to spot number two ( A former dry hole that has been producing regularly as of late ) Honestly I don't know how many cases I got from this one as they were loose and mostly in the top section of the dumpster & when a sQuatch is a Divin' he das'nt has no times too be countin' dvd cases !!!!! Suffice to say that I got most of 'Em !!! I left a few behind because It was getting late !!!!, The Rest were hard to get too I almost forgot to mention I got about 200 odd loose dvd 's here too haven't counted up but will post totals on movies & cases when I do? , I'm generous and kind, and they were kinda wet !!! Now a little water don't scare me none ( I'se a Bayou sQuatch remember ? heck Dumpster soup don't give me much pause !!! But like i said they were going to be more trouble then I could afford ( Time wise )- {Sometimes you should dive with a friend } But sQuatch tend to Be solitary cept during mating season or if Jennifer LOve Hewitt & Angelina DRop By for some Furry Hijynx !!!!! Besides I still had Plans for what was ? or may have been in location three???? so ONward i went !!! Location 3 was occupado !!!!! Blockbuster Nerd was there I recognized the car !!!! And you thought sQuatch'es can't see color ? so That was a bust!! Bust Jennifer is it Really You ???? LOL!!!! well that's enough fer now - Keep Livin' La VidA Dumpster and Ciao Y'all !!!!!!

He's Back !!!!!!- well I have a partial update gang For Tuesdays Weekly F0rage into Dumpsterlant !!! I have ended up with 315 Cases , 50movies in cases ( several copies of multiple titles and on the loose dvd's {no Cases ) I'm up to 206 and still counting !!!! - Still have almost a whole 100ct. empty spindle container full to count and add to my DVD profiler /database ? if they are'nt already in there ? So final count on the Loose dvd's may end up near 300 ? we'll see I suppose ? I ordered one of them Hard Plastic/Aluminum DJ style Cases from Supermediastore . 510 Capacity for $28.99 Shipped Not a bad deal when the 200 capacity one was selling for about $18.00-25.00 or so recently ? Figure I'll Put the Loose Dvd's in there & If I don't fill it up right Away Maybe Bring it along on Tuesdays so I can keep the Loose DVD rescues from Further Damage !!! - Thought About Buying Some Binder Pages and going that route already have two huge 3 ring binders courtesy of my friendly BLockbuster Dumpster!!! . But the Shipping was almost as much as the Binder Sheets so Screw That !!! Thought About Dvd Wallets too but those were nearly as expensive for the" biggun's "as Al {Two Shoes } bundy would Say "!!!! - so I'm going the Hard Case way and I think I'll Like it for that Purpose. Well well then? I'll get back with a Final Total on the Loose Disc once I'm Done Counting ! - Till Then Unpleasnt Dreams -Muha-Ha-HaHa!!!!!!

http://www.supermediastore.com/cd-dvd-st...0-capacity.html- It's supposed to arrive friday ? & maybe I'll Be done counting & cataloging the Loose DVD's Courtesy OF BB { They're so Generous !!!!!} and I'll Let everyone { Or atleast anyone that cares ???} what the final count was and how I like or dislike the Case ? I may just Put part of My large CD collecti0n in that ? That would free up 1-2 Racks for more DVD's ?"s Decisions Decisions ?????!!!!!! - I could'nt make my weekly dive this time do too scheduling conflicts Grandson having wisdom teeth extracted Ect.... Now if they could only extract The Teeth and leave the wisdom that would be a Blessing !!!!!- He made out alrighty then though so that's good! Well Hopefully some of y'all will have sumfin' new to report soon ? Although I like hearing /seeing my own thoughts and words as much or maybe more then the next person ??? I feel Kinda like I'm hogging the thread !!So come on Gang Digg down deep and get some !!!!! Oh yeah & go Dumpster diving too !!!! LOL!!!! CiaO y'all !!!!!

okay!!!- My Supermediastore/linkyo DJ style hardcase CD/DVD storage came yesterday !!! I loaded my Loose Dumpster Rescued Dvd's into just a few inutes ago !!!! & unless I missed a few ? Possible & probable I suppose ? I have 380 safetly tucked away . Though I wish they were all seperate /different Titles = 380 different movies There are many duplicates of several titles !!! Still They were free as JVC says "FREE IS FREE !!!!" and I Did /do have some more In cases that I have to make room for + the ones I souveneired to the family - I suppose that I'll have to take some time off {Vacation so I can get some of My Jobs done !!!LOL{Sad But True !!!!} Between real work ,Honeydoo's and ,what you should do' s I seem to have no time for Need to Do's and wanna Do's ?????? also sad but true !!! Enough about my problems though ! My Opinions on the Hard case - Case construction seems Quality and solid enough for the intended use! Price was reasonable enough ! My only complaints are minor and baout the sleeves ! They appear to be very thin {read Cheap} and not all the perforations for the openings were perfed corectly but theese are fairly minor I suppose ? - If you are going to use this mainly for storage only { Not removing or reinserting disc alll the time then I think it's a Good thing Martha } If your going to do that I'd say get some thin jewel cases and use those with the case just don't overload it & break the jewel cases ? alternately I guess you could use paper or Tyvek sleeves instead ? Or if you are'nt cramped fer' space use real dvd cases !!! but being as The movies themselves were free -ala Dumpster-Rootah I can't complain much !!! Well gang start diving already will you ?????????? Peace Out !!!!!!!

Oh Lordy been down in the dumpsters lately with 2 cases to show for it.Sooo depressed and went to the shed to dig out the lawnmower for community garage sale,[gotta have the grass looking nice]found 2 boxes marked Christmas with 300+ movies and cases didn't remember having so hope fully tomorrow can sell them and a couple of thousand empty cases.Damn more work digging out the lawnmower than cutting the grass.Still got that vein jumping waiting for a fix of a good dumpster dive I haven't had in a long time.BT69 adventures are only thing consoling me now!

ChrisC586- Yup unless it's watching Greensman fall head first into a Dumpster it's really not a Spectator Sport !!! Like Golf or Bowling it's boring unless your doing it yourself ! The Spectator part well you might'nt find a few Speckled Tater's here & there depending on your dumpsters location????? - And you know that like Tater chips, & peanuts once you start it's hard to stop !!!!! and it's enviormentally friendly too !!!! We can all help Uncle Al save the planet Cause The Earth has a Fever ??????? Me thinks Uncle Al's been on One too many ManBearPig hunts Between you and me ? The important thing is be safe have fun and Dive Well _ ciaO y'all !!!!!!
