This is what will separate the men from the boys and the women from the girls, here. Sure, I'll go on a message board and discuss my favorite online cartoon. But will I start walking around inspecting people's trash because some of the cartoon cats do?

[wombat]

You're right.  For example, I did all of this, but that was in private.  Do I have the guts to take it to the streets?

[Hobot]

The Bleeding Heart stem next to the devilled eggs for a lady was a nice touch.

Have I mentioned lately that everyone should buy the cookbook?

[theinevitable]

wombat, I want to steal and/or copy your fridge magnets.

[wombat]

The fridge magnets are made of polymer clay, the most common brand of which is called Fimo. It comes in dozens of colors and you bake it in your own regular home oven. You can buy it in any craft or art store.  It was very easy to make it look like cartoon cats etc.  I don't say this to minimize the amount of time I have spent in my life on Achewood-related craft activities - it really was simple, they are just well suited to the medium.

[theinevitable]

what I would have to do is print out some achewood panels and enlarge them to get the shapes right.

I am hell of artistically inept. A straight line? what?

[Mr. Chord]

C'mon, Chucklebot! Everyone loves the ChuckleBlog!

YES. You are a wise individual. This is the blog that is needed, and Onstad should take your advice and give you an award.

One problem with this attempted fad: I assume that many Achewood readers live in urban areas and/or in other areas that don't have curbside recycling.

Or maybe that's just a backwards Chicago thing.

I don't know of anywhere else that's pulling a scam like Blue Bag.

That fuckin' blue bag! I almost forgot about the blue bag! Spmeone is going to find a huge hole in the ground in Wisconsion, and it's gonna be full of those damn blug bags.

[wombat]

This thread has become quite mysterious.  What is a Blue Bag?  And why would being in an urban area preclude trashspotting?  Urban areas that I frequent seem quite full of trash, and recycling too.

Well, where else would you recycle things ... do you have magic plastic/glass/newspaper chutes there? (because if so that'd be all kinds of awesome)

Yeah!  It's much harder for me to trashspot, out here in the boonies.  I guess I could go to the dump, but that not quite the same (although it does have its charms.)

In order to recycle in the City of Chicago, you have to buy Blue Bags. The recycling goes in the blue bags. Mysteriously. thpugh, you put the blue bags in the dumpster along with the rest of the trash. So you pay for the bags, but there is no evidence that your recycling ever gets recycled. It always seemed like a huge scam when I lived there.

When I moved to Evanston we got curbside bins. That was much better. Now I live on an island with NO RECYCLING. It's ludicrous.
