I found a Freegan going through my garbage...

He was about forty, had a scruffy beard, and was wearing a ripped up "University of Louisville" sweatshirt with an old knit toboggan and fingerless knit gloves.

I watched him pull out a week-old hard-as-a-rock breadstick and chow down while he proceeded to crush the aluminum cans a neighbor had thrown out.

I silently hoped that the breadstick he was eating had not been the one my roommate had used to dislodge a clog in our toilet since he had forgotten to buy a plunger.

First the dishes then the revolution.

That's exactly what I though.
Freegans don't go for rotten/stale food.
Just food that's being wasted.
Although I'm not saying there aren't any that would eat rotten stuff...

Did nobody else read this as a piss-take on freeganism?

No? Just the Judge?

Not in the least. The Judge merely sees more clearly than most mere mortals, and felt the need to enhance this thread with her high-quality ruminations. You're still in line to lead My army - just as soon as the brainwashing techniques render you suitably dazzled.

How do you know that freegan was a homeless man and not just a well-disguised raccoon?

Raccoons wear masks. Freegans sometimes wear designer jeans.

That man is probably a hobo. A Freegan probably would have been much cleaner and not have bothered with that bread stick at all. If it was a halfloaf of bread that was still good, then he would have taken that. Not a rock hard breadstick.

C'mon, at least skim the thread before you comment.

Maybe he was a SUPER EXTREME freegan, who took reducing his carbon footprint so super cereal that he burned down his house, got rid of his car, and gave himself syphilis.

How does having syphilis reduce your carbon footprint? Not counting the fact that it can kill you.
