If you're gonna buy one, make sure you get a fully automatic paintball gun. You don't really need it per se, but who cares?

Maybe a lil somethin like this would do the trick ;)

So now it is the borough's fault for selling trash bags too big for your trash cans. And its my fault for seeing right through your entire story of woe. Amazing how it’s always someone else's fault. Why talk to the neighbor about a problem you have created - by not using trash cans? It's called being a decent American. One who is not decent will then post profanity only because one cannot deal with life. 85% of all problems are directly traceable to top management - in this case a homeowner who is more concerned about 'cat attacks' rather than solving the problem: buy a new trash can. It's so simple. Buy a larger trash can.

Please feel free to begin posts with 'inciteful' words of wisdom. It only demonstrates why the cat is taking revenge on you. Must be Catbert, the evil human resources administrator. Clearly the neighbor has put Catbert up to it. And the borough has conspired to also make life miserable by selling trash bags too large. And Walmart intentionally makes trash cans too small. Clearly more firepower and chemical weapons are necessary to defend the trash.

It's a trash can, Lumberjim. It's only a problem (and reason to post more obscenities) when you don't deal with the problem at its source: you. Simply get a trash can large enough for those overtly expensive trash bags. It's not complex. It demonstrates why everyone needs to be diplomatic - rather than honest - with you. Notice neighbors don't have a problem with that cat. Where did they get their trash cans? Can you ask them without using obscenities?

No, I am not politically correct - which is always why you have such hate for me. A politically correct person could not be this honest with you - for fear of starting World War III. My god. You did not use trash cans which could make you a star on Judge Judy.

Oh Geeez! Some jerk from the City of Albuquerque has managed to get hired in your town's Utilities Department :smack:

Where is the trash before it's outside?

Around here if you don't like one trash collector you can call the competition. They all give out the big-ass plastic bins in competing colors. I dropped the expensive legacy trash people and their blue Tuesday night bins, and picked up the olive-green Wednesday night bin people.

man, if I only had an MBA, tw would just be a pig in shit, wouldn't he?

it's almost worth going back to school.

the borough has a trash monopoly. once a week tuesday at like 4 am. so i have to take it out monday night when i get home. most of the other neighbors put trash bags out. a few have trash cans that they evidently fill directy with trash, and tie the bags around the handle as payment. you could probably walk through late monday night and stock up on unused bags each week if you wanted to.

i was looking for a good way to broach the topic with my neigbor tw, you dickhole.

don't talk to me like i'm blaming the world for my woes. i'm not mari-stinking-chiko.

my life rocks.

It might not be a bad idea for Jim to get another trash can, but it's not been a problem prior to now, so...like I said before, why throw money (insignificant as it may seem) at the problem?

From what I recall, trash does not need to be in trash cans in the City of Philadelphia...you just have to make sure that recyclables have been removed and sorted properly.

In Philadelphia you just kind of throw trash into the street. Eventually it snows and they come by your house in trash trucks with big snowplows on the front. These trucks push the snow and trash into the Schuylkill River.

LJim, however, lives in one of the civilized areas of the state.

so....i bought a 65 gallon trash can at WalMart this morning. that's wrong on so many levels. first of all, it cost me $48 and doesn't solve the problem 100%. 2nd, I feel like i caved in to tw. (COCK!) and third, i bought the can at WalMArt. gah! i have no spine.

I may go get a paintball gun and take pot shots at that cat just to make myself feel better.

No, you did the right thing. Not buying a can because you didn't want to be on tw's side of an argument would have been ghey.

I kill animals for sport and food, and I say leave the damn cat alone. It doesn't know what it's doing wrong -- you're leaving out a buffet for it.

Buy a paintball gun, trap the cat, tape a headshot of TW to it's face, blast away at the just-released cat, release tension.

Everyone wins.

brilliant

except, no one has ever seen tw. much less photographed him. he's like a yeti.

Well on the bright side if you ever need to dispose of a body you've got a suitable container.

I live in Elverson and own a cat. I give my cat chores everyday. Its a smart cat. Together we will own the town. Already we have everyone paying $2 twice a week for their trash bags.
