- egonSchiele, on 11/29/2007, -0/+84dugg for the last pic telling me I wont find any babies in that dumpster
- inactive, on 11/29/2007, -0/+44Advice : Don't throw stuff, put them on Ebay you might make some money.
- pimpbot1979, on 11/29/2007, -1/+43oo-la-la! 'Garage,' how fancy. Where I come from, we call them car-holes.
- srgtTarantula, on 11/29/2007, -4/+28I think it was more, "don't throw your babies away in here."
But i guess if people followed the rule, you wouldn't find babies in there. - brundlefly76, on 11/29/2007, -0/+18I miss living in Santa Clara - once a year everyone just puts EVERYTHING they don't want on the curb, then for a week less fortunate people from neighboring towns come around and pick through what they want (i have literally been bringing stuff out *while* people were taking it away) - then at the end the city sends backhoes to haul it all away, sort it out, and dispose or recycle of it as needed.
Its the finest municipal service I have ever had in my life.
Also everyone gets the same kickass, massive heavy-duty wheeled garbage, recycling, and yard waste containers (which makes for a tidy curb on trash day), and its ALL picked up every week. Oh and by the time I left they had single stream recycling (no sorting - just throw all recyclables in the same big bin!)
They made it so easy to recycle and get rid of your trash it was a pleasure.
Now I live in CT and have to pay some gangster union that recycles one small container of mixed paper a month, you need to supply all of your own barrels, and *call them for an appointment to pick up recycle* cardboard (which I have seen them actually just put in a trash truck!) - but for some reason they pick up trash twice a week - as a result recycling is not terribly popular here. - insomniacal, on 11/29/2007, -0/+17My wife said something really smart on this. We're in a townhome, don't have a garage, so I was looking into building stairs up to our attic to increase our storage. She pointed out that we would just end up storing more stuff. Very wise. By limiting our storage capacity we actually limit the amount of crap we can accumulate. As we run out of space in our living area, we continually reevaluate what we really need and downsize.
- charlief, on 11/29/2007, -1/+17I should wait until the neighbor keeps his garage open and put a craigslist ad offering everything for free.
- Wallstreet, on 11/29/2007, -0/+15I was wondering where all my extension cords went
- amirman, on 11/29/2007, -0/+11"...starting the next apple"? yeah right. more like playing counter strike.
- tavman, on 11/29/2007, -0/+11For some reason, only MY side of the garage looks like that. My wife's is nice and clean and full of minivan......
- FlakeCannon, on 11/29/2007, -0/+10Dugg for "No Babies!"
- stympman, on 11/29/2007, -1/+11I'm a prom night dumpster baby.
You gotta love the dumpster pic. - ajchavar, on 11/29/2007, -0/+9moe: garaaaage? well la-dee-da mr frenchman.
homer: what, whaddya call yours?
moe: a carhole. - vanguardanon, on 11/29/2007, -1/+10My garage is a woodworking shop and it has tools for automotive repair. Just because there aren't cars in it doesn't mean it's a wasteland of crap.

- doublsh0t, on 11/29/2007, -1/+8by the way diggers, this wasn't an opportunity to to tell the world what the hell you use your garages for
- baalzebub, on 11/29/2007, -0/+7i have known a few people that remove the garage door and install a wall with window and turn the garage in to an extra room for the house...
- Haecceity, on 11/29/2007, -0/+6"No babies!" painted on the dumpster. Absolutely priceless!
- NathanielJ, on 11/29/2007, -2/+8Remember when blogs were for content, and not for ridiculously wide columns of links?
Neither do I. - Littleedgitt, on 11/29/2007, -1/+6wait, google has errors?
- Komgol, on 11/29/2007, -0/+5Remember when a site survived past 200 diggs before crashing?
- bbear, on 11/29/2007, -0/+5In some states a $300,000 house means 6 bedrooms and a 2 car garage. I'm guessing you're from New York.
- Cyberen, on 11/29/2007, -0/+4give it to the cats and let nature take its course.
a peeing, ***** and barking machine? Why keep it? - Jerky1312, on 11/29/2007, -1/+5I thought this article was going to be about people converting their garages into more housing space, etc. I have an uncle who turned his garage into a children's activity/entertainment room. He keeps his cars outside.
- chingy1788, on 11/29/2007, -0/+4next apple?
thats a mini LAN party - bdbr, on 11/29/2007, -0/+4Dugg because the streets of my (fairly upscale) neighborhood are littered with freakin' cars because no one uses their garage. And every one of these homeowners signed an agreement that they wouldn't park on the street.
Its so nice getting in a dry and fairly warm car on a wintry morning, there's no way I'm giving up my garage to clutter. - RxDaniel, on 11/29/2007, -0/+4It's funny to see people have no idea how much things cost in most of the country. In North Carolina my parents paid like 140k for a two story house with a two car garage. I can't remember the sq. ft. but the first floor has 3 bedrooms, 2 bath, living room, kitchen, dining room, and laundry room. The second floor is as big as the first but is basically one huge open room with an office on the side over the garage. This is about 10 minutes from one of the biggest cities in the eastern part of the state, which I'll admit it isn't that big. There is a big college here and one of the top 100 hospitals in the country though so it's not like it's in the middle of nowhere. 300k would probably get you a house in the nicest neighborhood in the area.
- AWooWoo, on 11/29/2007, -1/+5I second the digg because of "no babies"
- nonokiaboy, on 11/29/2007, -1/+5That's what baby dumpsters are for. Don't mix and match!
- TwistedSheep, on 11/29/2007, -0/+3http://www.theonion.com/content/node/29768
- headzoo, on 11/29/2007, -0/+3That way the junk sitting in your garage, can become the junk sitting in someone else's garage.
- RxDaniel, on 11/29/2007, -0/+3Uh.. my parents house didn't even cost half that and they have 2 cars that cost more than 30k and a nice 2 car garage to put them in. There is a reason everybody retires to the south.
- MasterChief4134, on 11/29/2007, -0/+3Guilty as charged :(
- mustang460, on 11/29/2007, -0/+3depends on the area you live in i suppose, around here a $300,000 property would net you a mansion and 1/4 of a mountain other places it would net you a 4 bedroom house with an acre of land, and be the norm
- Punjabdasher, on 11/29/2007, -1/+4Since when was owning a $300,000 house, and a $30,000 NOT being middle income?
- Chompy, on 11/29/2007, -1/+4$300,000 for a home *is* middle income these days.
- nstern2, on 11/29/2007, -0/+3It's called a shed people. Learn how to build one. Or sell some of your crap and buy a premade one.
- noahhoward, on 11/29/2007, -1/+3No... since when were they for cars?
- psykiv, on 11/29/2007, -1/+3Garage? You rich *****.
- richardiscool, on 11/29/2007, -0/+2$300,000 homes isn't middle income?
- HayString, on 11/29/2007, -0/+2I wish I could think like that. My motto is: "I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it." ;)
- Chompy, on 11/29/2007, -0/+2Yeah, but they have to live in the south.
- nicko68, on 11/29/2007, -1/+3Like my lawnmower? The patio furniture stored for the winter?
- ScottMitchell, on 11/29/2007, -0/+2My neighbor did that - built stairs up into her attic. It's pretty cool, and my wife and I thought about doing the same, but we came to the same conclusion as you.
- inactive, on 11/29/2007, -0/+2joke noun, verb, joked, jok·ing.
–noun
1. something said or done to provoke laughter or cause amusement, as a witticism, a short and amusing anecdote, or a prankish act: He tells very funny jokes. She played a joke on him.
2. something that is amusing or ridiculous, esp. because of being ludicrously inadequate or a sham; a thing, situation, or person laughed at rather than taken seriously; farce: Their pretense of generosity is a joke. An officer with no ability to command is a joke.
3. a matter that need not be taken very seriously; trifling matter: The loss was no joke.
Any of those definitions will do. Need I continue? - ScottMitchell, on 11/29/2007, -0/+2Traditionally home prices should be 2x-4x annual income. Granted, the past five or six years have been a MAJOR abberation. But if we are talking about historical norms, then a $300,000 house would house people making an annual household income of $75,000 to $150,000, which would be considered upper middle class since the nationwide average household income is under $50,000.
- thomashauk, on 11/29/2007, -0/+1I've seen garages so small a car would not even fit in them... seems like they are designing them for this.
- Gella321, on 12/05/2007, -0/+1My neighbors actually had to build a new garage behind their house for their cars because they turned their original garage into a second living room - complete with a fridge, TV, Sofa, loveseat, and a microwave
- Chompy, on 11/29/2007, -0/+1In New York $300k wouldn't get you a shack. And I'm in Vegas.
- hansk, on 11/29/2007, -0/+1me too
