The Ultimate Dumpster Dive

It was a dark and dreary January day and my home slice Mike and I were walking back from our first professional engineering class of the semester. It wasn’t that cold out but it was sooo crazy windy so we decided to take a short cut behind the Tandem Accelerator Building (TA) to get back to our res. That’s when we spotted “The Beast” in the garbage. I immediately recognized the pile of electronics as “good $#!^” and I was like… “hawt damn Mikey we need to snag that $#!^ before some other gangstas like us do!” Of course, we got lazy and didn’t want to lug the 650 pounds of rack mounted hardware back to the res by ourselves, so we just went back and chilled out before our next classes. Later that night my so called “Asian” friend (he acts pretty white) came up to me and started to explain how he saw the stuff too, of course I rudely cut him off and told him that I had already found it and claimed it for myself. Then I remembered the massive weight of the stuff… so as any decent geek would do, we decided to join forces. We recruited a bunch of guys on the floor and we went out into the darkness to harvest our electronic crop. I think people were really sketched out when they saw us carrying it all to my room but meh… they’re newbs. We took some pictures of the goods and then stacked them up in my closet. Now we need to find all this hardware a new home, so if you’re interested in taking it off our hands just give me an email at matt_hack@hotmail.com.
