When I went to Boston University for a year, there were a few times when I had no food and no money and I just got drunk and ate out of dumpsters. I'd try to stick to pizza, because pizza places seriously stack all the boxes of pizza up in their dumpster. They're neatly stacked, clean, and if you get there at the right time, still warm. Some people forget to pick up their pizzas. You even have a choice of toppings. But sometimes I'd be so drunk I'd start eating weirder stuff, like chicken and bread.

Trader Joe's has the best dumpsters in the world. My sister met a guy who was dumpster-diving up and down the Pacific Coast from Canada to Chile, and he said the best dumpsters were in Pasadena, California, especially the Trader Joe's stores there.

I've never gone without electricity or water though, so I've been doing great.

@vlad, have you ever met one of these poor scumbags and talked to them for a while? I'm visualizing all the poor people being like Pauly Shore and just mooching of of everybody and weezing the juice everywhere and not giving a shit.
