in-sink garbage-strainer

TO THE MIGHTY FLINT LANDFILL

The so-called “old guy” with the dreaded and utterly reprehensible Nikon D100 with flash.

Our tattered in-sink garbage-strainer (pictured at left) is finally consigned to the mighty Flint landfill.
CONTRARY TO THE UTTERLY PREDICTABLE AND TIRESOMELY BORING BLUSTERING FROM WEST BRIDGEWATER, it wasn’t me that pursued this replacement.
It was Linda, and it wasn’t easy, since no one made an in-sink garbage-strainer similar to our old unit.
All kinds of garbage-containers were available, although none were designed as strainers for installation in sinks.
As such our stainless unit is probably overpriced.
It was all that was available similar to our old unit.
No doubt I could have walked out of Wal*Mart with an ill-suited and flimsy unit made by Chinese child prison-labor. (“Thank ya for shopping Wal*Mart — mmm-WAH! Enjoy your hike to your car in East Timor.”)
CUE ENGINES OF ONLINE COMMERCE. —In-sink garbage-strainers for only peanuts — or containers Linda avoided.

“Flint landfill” is the landfill in nearby Flint where our trash gets taken.

RE: “‘Old guy’ with the dreaded and utterly reprehensible Nikon D100.......” —My macho, blowhard brother-from-Boston, who is 13 years younger than me, calls me “the old guy” as a put-down (I also am the oldest). I also am loudly excoriated by all my siblings for preferring a professional camera (like the Nikon D100) instead of a point-and-shoot. This is because I long ago sold photos to nationally published magazines.

RE: “Contrary to the utterly predictable and tiresomely boring blustering from West Bridgewater.....” —My macho, blowhard brother-from-Boston, who noisily badmouths everything I do or say, lives in West Bridgewater, Mass.

“Linda” is my wife of 40+ years.

My macho, blowhard brother-from-Boston noisily claims I should be shopping Wal*Mart, the so-called “greatest store in the universe.”

“Mmm-WAH” is being kissed by the stinky Wal*Mart greeter. “Enjoy your hike to your car in East Timor.......” is something the greeter might say regarding your long hike across the vast Wal*Mart parking-lot.

RE: “Cue engines of online commerce........” —Various of my siblings will now search out comparable online in-sink garbage-strainers, proving thereby that we are stupid dullards and inferior to them.
