How can you tell if a person is civilized? They always piss and shit in the same spot. That's how gross cities are. If you need more proof then go to the dump. If you need free stuff, go to the swap shed at the dump (only if you are lucky enough to live in a city that believes in swap sheds). The swap shed experience is comparable to the value village experience, without the guilt of supporting walmart and the guilt of spending money in general. Here is a list of things i manage to scavenge at the swap shed in Prince George and Valemount in only 3 visits.

1) Green (olive) corduroy (fat cords not thin ones) dinner jacket. It almost matches my green corduroy pants.
2) National Geographic from the late 90's about robots and sumo wrestling
3) Little glass spice jars that have an airtight seal.
4)1 square foot of plaid cloth
5) Pair of size 10.5 rubber boots without holes.
6) Some fancy British machine that ticks and has something to do with time (i think it's going to be a very important ingredient of my time machine)
7) Binder with a picture of Louis Riel on the cover.
8) shoelace
9) A book about the erotic adventures of a french ski instructor. (on and off the slopes)

My brother Matt got a new bag, a motorcycle helmet and a sweet BMX bike. 

Free stuff kicks ass
