"Whoopee" Goldberg Is Full Of It
Goldberg had the stupidity and audacity to bellow that the Holocaust was "not about race," after Hitler systematically murdered six million Jewish men, woman, and children just because they were Jews, which he believed was an inferior race to the Aryan nation.
"Hitler promoted a racial ideology that identified Whites (he called 'Aryans') as superior and everyone else as inferior. Since Jews in Europe were considered White he classified them as a different race – a race of people that he said was not only inferior but 'dangerous' and needed to be destroyed." - Museum of Tolerance
Instead of Goldberg being completely ashamed of herself for her racist, anti-Semitic remarks desecrating the memories of millions of innocent people genocidally murdered, the narcissistic Goldberg is angry that she got suspended for a measly two weeks.
Whoopi Goldberg is a disgrace and has-been, and should not only be wholly condemned, but fired and put into the trash-bin of Hollywood history! ;-)

Amusement Park Painting
It was literally just sitting at the top of the garbage!
The merry-go-round, the ferris wheel, the flume, the hot air ballon, the children and even the man selling the cotton candy.
This is way to nice, colorful, and happy to be in the trash.
One man's trash is another man's treasure.
I hope this was rescued and put back up on a wall somewhere that it can be enjoyed by everyone. ;-)

Spuds and Suds
At least if you're gonna do this, don't show your customers!
Maybe there's a rational explanation (as in "Lucy, splain dat to me!"):
The potatoes fell on the floor, and the broom and pan where there to clean them up.
Hey, once you peel them, what difference does it make anyway!
Yeah, sure that works. ;-)

3 Types of Dumping
"No Dumping"
Dumping can refer to at last 3 different types of things and none of them are any good:
1) Dogs - When people are inconsiderate with the animals and they take a "dump" and people don't clean up after them (leaving the messy stink for you to step in).
2) Trash - When people throw their trash in the dump or what they consider to be a convenient dumping ground and they make a huge mess of the surroundings (like the used mattress on the side of the road).
3) Emotions - When people dump their emotions and problems on others; they just sort of let it all out and while they may feel better (i.e. a nice catharsis), now you feel like sh*t!
Overall, I can't think of any good connotation to dumping, so maybe people should stop doing it--dogs, trash, and problems. ;-)

Selling CRAP
They call it:
CRAP
It stands for:
Can't Realize A Profit.
Sometimes, you see people buying stuff, lots of stuff, and it's not important--often, it's all a lot of junk.
But they like to shop--bordering on shopsholics' compulsion.
Maybe they don't even have a lot of money for this stuff.
However, just the act of buying it--of having some control in their lives and some freedom of the purse--makes them feel good and buy and hoard more and more things.
Likely it ends up in Goodwill, recyclables, the attic, or the trash.
Is it crap?
Well you can't make realize a profit on it. ;-)

Missed The Shot But Someone Else Got It
Like many of these, it has a small opening hole at the top to convey that only bottles and cans (like it says on the side) should be put in for recycling--no garbage.
When I was walking by quickly, I took the shot, attempting to throw in my bottle.
But it bounced off the rim and landed on the floor.
Before I could even turn around to pick it up, I saw another gentleman behind me swoop in and pick up the garbage and put it in the can for me.
I tell you that I was really quite amazed.
He could have easily said, I missed the can and so I should just pick up my own trash off the floor and throw it out--that's only right!
Instead, it was in his mind nothing to do this random act of kindness and he picked up my trash.
I know it sounds like a nothing burger, but to me, it represented just a real decency from another human being.
Not standing on ceremony.
Not being too hoity-toity to pick up the garbage.
Rather just saw something that needed to get done and doing it.
I tell you that as much as some people disappoint me with their arrogance and evilness, others are genuinely good people.
This is what it's all about--the good people showing the bad people what kindness, generosity, and humanity is all about.
To the evil f*ckers out there--who are arrogant, materialistic takers, haters, bullies, aggressors, and abusers--to h*ll with you!
To the good people--keep doing good and let the good win over the evil every single time. ;-)

Messed Up By Norton Clean
Oy, what a mistake.
This tool is not ready for prime time.
It's supposed to optimize memory and clean up duplicate and residual files.
But in my experience, it swept up more good files than junk files.
And I ended up having to pull my files back from the trash and manually restore them to their file structure.
What a pain in the you know what!
Artificial intelligence--not way the I see this utility/tool.
If you don't pay attention, you can lose a lot of important information.
Yes, it gives you a chance to review the files, but then what do you really need this cleaning tool to begin with.
Maybe you have a different experience, I can only speak for myself.
But a little human intelligence goes a long way to sift through the wheat from the chaff--that's what your files really need anyway. ;-)

Soccer Soda On Metro
Watch what happens when people leave their trash on the Metro (Washington, DC).
In this case, it's a bottle and this one guy in jeans can't seem to get rid of it.
It's sort of hilarious.
First, the bottle is dumped by an uncaring passenger, it rolls around for awhile, and ends up sitting in the middle of the train car.
The train stops at the station and the people coming aboard step around and over the water bottle.
This guy in the center is irked by this bottle and just sort of blatantly kicks it at a women in winter boots standing by the doors.
But it eventually rolls back and hits him in the foot.
He's talking away (blah blah) on his cell, yet maneuvers the bottle ever so discretely to roll it backwards to someone else
But it ends up right back at him twice more.
Next stop, he runs off the train (and away from this bottle), but the person behind him kicks it after him and towards the doors.
Then this one lady with the orange bag and red purse gets up from her seat, and gives it a big kick right out the door.
She does this while the other people are boarding...oops watch out for the flying bottle.
Garbage left on the Metro...Goal! Score! ;-)

Parking Lot Crazy Car
One man's trash is another man's treasure--funny, interesting, weird, how does it make you feel?
This car, aside from the missing fender, window, and masking tape and cord holding it together, has got a crown of mementos on its hood and roof (aside from the stuff piled in the side and rear seat).
A collage, mosaic--artsy self expression--this car is someone's jewel.
Almost can't believe that it still runs, but it got to this shopping mall parking lot somehow--and it manages to get its share of attention.
Wondering--is this a hoarder's mentality and does the person's home also look like this too or is this someone's big statement about their values and beliefs?
Definitely unique, an eye catcher, and a whole different way to think of a Honda. ;-)
