Garbage

Let me start by saying that garbage in the streets of Beirut is NOT a huge problem. Sure a lot of people are just dirty fucks that toss their empty and popped Bonjus boxes in vacated store fronts, but I've seen much worse.

But I do wonder what the heck did Sukleen do with the dumpster covers. Walking by a Beirut dumpster is a feat that not even David Blaine dares attempt. The garbage spillage does provide a lovely playground for our cute little kittens though.

Seriously though, I went online shopping for garbage dumpsters and was impressed with the variety and the rich designs in the garbage dumpster industry. I wonder how many garbage dumpster designers' childhood dream was to garbage dumpster design. Anyways, dozens of colors, forms, and sizes, but I failed to find any coverless models.

So My question is: Where did all the Beirut Dumpster covers go? I really would like to know.

Well i guess it is a Syrian plot to hold the country hostage. If we don't give in to their demands we will suffocate!

Don't tell anyone... but I heard they're using them to go sledding at the Qarantina ski resort and country club.

I think it was an attempt at transparency gone awry...

would you be willing to take off the cover each time you want to throw something, and then put it back in its place (while fighting your way among dozens of stray cats)? ewwww!

anon- if that's the case, than i'll gladly hold my breath so these workers can have some fun.

Ramzi- :o) well, at least the intent is there.
