In this city all that's in the trash is trash.
Many laws prevented people from throwing recyclables in Portland anyway, and if I could find anything a hobo'd kill me for it before I could get near it haha.

Closest I've done was grab some Coke Rewards Points bottle caps off of some old Coke/Sprite bottles in an outside trashcan of ours and a pile of garbage we later sent to the dump.

I tried picking up an empty bottle once, but then all the town guards tried to kill me and I was chased up a mountain where I was promptly assaulted and killed by 14 Cliff Racers.

I'm never visiting Morrowind again.

But anyways, once day I was looking through their dumpster and I found an Atari 5200 with two controllers and a Pacman cartridge...let's just say that it should have stayed in the dumpster .

But it was 5200 Pac-Man! That's better than 2600 Pac-Man!

(No, I would *NOT* fish 2600 Pac-Man out of any dumpster. Not even if it was lying on the road.)

Nope, never have.

Now I have reached into the garbage because something was accidentally dropped in there.

Unfortunately the Atari 5200 doesn't seem to work (which is why I said it belonged in the dumpster still, although that was part of the joke as I assumed people would think that I was referring to the fact that it was a crappy console ). Although I did test the game and controllers on another Atari 5200 that someone I knew had and they appeared to work fine (apparently it's rare to find working Atari 5200 controllers so I guess that I lucked out there ).
