Risk
My friend Ernest (who looks like a total bum here) risks life and limb while digging through the dumpsters full of vintage beer cans parked outside our building. A third dumpster has now appeared. When will it end?
Update: So the deal is these belonged to a guy known as "The Beer Can Man". He had a place in our building and collected these along with bar signs and all sorts of other stuff. He died a while back and these are being hauled away. They can't be recycled for the deposit because they are tin and steel.
By the end there were 12 trailer-size dumpsters of cans!

That's totally bizarre. Were those coming out of the NK building? It's a good thing I moved, because I used to live about three blocks away and had I found that, my place would have ended up full of aluminum and old beer smell. Were they all beer, or was there soda in there too? I've seen some pretty cool graphic design on pop-top soda cans, but I've hardly seen any beer cans.

Incredible! Where did these fit in his house? And better yet, you have to wonder how many of the beers he actually drank himself!

They were in a warehouse. And I'm guessing eh drank a lot!

I guess, the big question is, what happened to them since?
