    Yeah Toxy, get back on the bus, shuddup and play yer guitar, ah, be careful of them flesh ripping weasels. Look out for wet spots if you are sitting next to the penguin in bondage. Be wary of those nicely made cheesily made appliances that lurk in the closet.
    Good music to listen to on your way back to Montana, back to your dental floss ranch.

    Alrighty Then! - It appears That The Luck of The Pontificating Potenate Of Plastic ,DuKe Of DumpsterDom !, Grand Poobah & Lord High Everything Else !!! {JVC } Was with me today on my excursion to my Favorite or atleast my Regularly Visited Blockbuster Dumpster! I make a Peek inside the Cinderblock cell that They had Incarcerated Poor Dumpy in ( The dumpster) the doors /gates with the Keep out signs were open And right on top was one of them Mythical Clear Plastic Garbage bags that He=JVC talks about ! It had Plenty cases in it Mixed with some trash so I just took the Whole thing! To the Squatchmobile threw in in the bed of the truck and got back in and said Away ! Wife-Wonder To the Squatch-cave ! Okay I really Just grabbed the bag and brought it home to sort out ! but That does'nt sound as intersting or funny ? Anyways after sorting Trash from Gold ( DVD cases) I had a Total of 58 cases (20 singles ) +(38Doubles) The Doubles were all The Protector . I checked all of the cases all empty other than Crap coupons & insert garbage ! Most if not all had the original covers though some were Wet ( it rained today about 3 or 4 times ? So I tossed those covers & kept the rest ! Not a Big haul But not a bad day for the Doubles! The doubles are the standard One on each side of the case type ( Not Flapper cases) But That's Cool as well ! Anyway Now you all have something or someone to talk about ? So Get to it ! Hope everyone Is Getting Some ! { cases I mean } good luck and happy & safe Diving y'all!

    Where are we getting some??? Oh! Sorry didn't see that we were talking about cases. lol

    Went to my normal DUMPY as BT69 would call it and found 11 normal cases and one of the square milky white ones they use for rentals. Not to bad since we've been case dry for the last 3 trips. I let the kid run around in there again but I need to next time cause he ain't got a clue when it comes to systematically searching a dumpster. I'm not the Pro that JVC or BT69 are but I got my methods. LOL. Good haul tho, 3 covers that I can use, no doubles but a booger green one and a clear one. ;-)

    btw how does one become so good as to drive up to the Dumpy and the cases have already jumped into a plastic bag for you???? Just trying to clear things up. hehehe.

    @cincyrob,
    Remember that you have some friends here in DUMPSTER land that would love to have some of those covers. LOL.

    That is truly unfair my friend. I keep hoping as they say to find the bag of goodies or the boxed present. hehehe.

    Again nice haul buddy.

    CIncyRob & Greensmen - That's true Blockbuster! does use those Clear garbage Bags . But Unfortunately They tend to Self destruct Like the tape recorders on the Original Mission Impossible series ! Yep! you have to have a deft and gentle hand or it's a massive bag explosion ! My regular Blockbuster tends to either Dump'em Loose Or the bag burst upon contact with the dumpster ! occasionaly I get Bag Full without a rupture happening during the extraction ! I found about 30 Movies in the case already in a box myself once @ same Dumpster & several trips later or maybe even a few months later I got like 60 Movies - 1st time was after Halloween -Lot's of scary Movies & I think the second Big Movie haul was around Xmas _ variety of movies & Xmas Comedies ! Maybe I'll make another big movie hit soon ? ( I have a Dream !!!!) anyway Great Going CincyRob -Good thing you did'nt retire To Cleveland ? ( EARTHQUAKE ) ? or maybe somebody ate some bad Berries LOL! & Greensmen maybe you should lead by example for a few trips and then the Sprouts will catch on better? But any case you find is another you don't have to buy so ! Feetz UP! head Down ! & practice ,practice Practice! Ciao!

    cincyrob- " free Is Free " says "JVC !!!!" The only thing better than getting a bargain is getting it free ! Good luck on your MovieQuest ! Another Sign or Symptom you can look for that usually means the DVD/Movie /Game /Software -whatever ? is still in the case atleast at Blockbuster is If you get the Lockable cases out of the Dumpster & the Magic Wambo Doojie Yellow /Blue / or whichever color it is Locking stick/mechanism is still in the case Then about 99% of the time you've got the movie too! Sometimes they jam up ? & blockbuster just chucks the whole shebang !{ SheBang ! ,SheBang !!!} & you thought That William Haung ! Could'nt sing !!!? Sometimes they come right out easy & sometiimes it's surgery time But with a few tools and some patience The case and movie can be saved !So far atleast I've never found a dumpstered case that had The lock intact thatdid'nt have the movie too !What makes me sick is when they through the case,movie,& cover out all together & you open the case and see the DVD Label then Pop out the disc and It's either Been Scratched into next Tuesday or they've run it through The (Dimple-ator!!!!!! & it won't be back ! Found 100 + copies of CRASH awhile back with The dvd still in the case ! all but Three had met their Untimely Death BY DIMPLE-ATION ! It's not that I liked the movie all that much ? I thought it tanked ! But I could've sold 'em off or pawned them for cash ? But I got the cases anyway ! & a free T-shirt From The Neptune manager Girl ! Of cousre it does'nt Come in sasquatch sizes so I gave it To my Step-Daughter Who looks better in it than I would anyway ! Anyhow Might Go Back Thursday & check again ! As Borat Would say " Is Nice ,I like !!!" CiaO! America!!!!

    OK. So I made my first excursion into dumpster land today. Found 7 empty cases and 3 bags of cardboard/pasteboard things; must be hundreds of them. Each one is about 5.5 x 8 inch with pictures of the movies on them. I guess they are the "shelf labels" where BB puts up their rentals. Near perfect condition; several with multiple copies and look like never used.

    Other than being a curiosity for a movie you might have, are these of any interest to others?

    Which day is best for diving - Tuesday or Wednesday?

    What time is best - morning, afternoon, or evening?

    Might have been covered, but then I have not read all 40 pages in this thread.

Kind of reMinds me of That Army Or marine Corps ? Saying about My Rifle " This is My Rifle ! there are many others Like it it ! But This One is Mine !" - How about" This is my Dumpster There Are may others like it & They're Mine too !!!" Greed is Good LOL!!!!! Just Kidding!-"This is My Dumpster There are many others like it So Spread Out ( Moe Stooge )" - Quiet Numbskulls I'm broadcasting !!! LOL just Kidding !!! " This Is Agent Charles From the FCC ! Please Reduce your Power and Step Away From the Transmitter ! This is not a Drill ? On a Lighter Note Tina Nordstrom is back on Pbs - I just love it when she talks in swedish ! Oh well - as they say in sweden - "GerFlarken Nargen Gooble Flargen? " Okay They don't actually say that But it sounds like that" Like the swedish Chef on the muppet show !!!! Well Later then I suppose ? Good Day & Good Diving !!!! SkOal /Ciao !

    its more along the lines "This is my rifle, This is my Gun. this is For fighting this is for fun" yup have said that alot when i was in the army... dont ever call your rifle a "gun".....lol flash back there..lol

    well i went through the rest of the cases. no more movies.. so i guess it was a ok dive. 162 cases about 40 of them double sided, and 1 movie itself...

    i dont hit it big every time i go in the bush(dumpster) i just brag/get loud about it when i do...lol.... its to the point now i dont need the cases really. i just like doing it to see how many i can get so i can bring them to show and tell here.....

    how many covers do ya want greensman, which ones...
