How did waste management/treatment people and racketeers in NYC make money with garbage?

I'm not the one who seems to be operating on a research schedule that's going to take him over two hundred years to complete before he thinks he's ready to produce ONE comic.

@izzythepush,
Duffy:
Irish: reduced Anglicized form of Gaelic "Ó Dubhthaigh" ‘descendant of Dubhthach’, a byname derived from "dubh" ‘dark’, ‘black’ (widely used as a nickname or byname for a dark-haired man or man of dark temperament and as an element of personal names). This name was borne by a 6th-century saint who was archbishop of Armagh
Guffy- a Scottish (nick)name for a dark-featured peaceful person:

Cluffy - British slang for a foolish, unfortunate or unpleasant person, a misfit.

@MontereyJack,
DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT I AM DOING, TROLL.

BETTER TO DO RESEARCH AND BRAINSTORM IDEAS AHEAD OF TIME.

Right. Two hundred years at your present rate of completing countries before you're ready. Sure does make sense (actually more like five hundred, since you don't seem to have actually completed any countrry's "research" yet. Very stange definition of "better" you have, Jason.

First I've heard of it. Just like there's no such thing as a 'British' accent, there's no such thing as 'British' slang. It's all regional accents and slang.

Hah. You guys have a British accent even when you're just online typing--you spell them honour and neighbour and kerb and gaol and talk about cars with boots and bonnets and windscreens. No British accent indeed!

@MontereyJack,
Your term 'British' accent is all encompassing. It includes Scotland, England and Wales, all the accents are very different, and that does not include all the regional varieties. What you presume to be a 'British' accent is most likely a Middle Class Home Counties type of pronounciation. That makes it just one of many.

This is Ross Noble, he's got a Geordie accent.



This is the Scouse ABC



They're both British accents, but I bet when you hear the term you don't think of either of them.

izzy, actually I do, not to mention Woods, the Gryffindor quidditch seeker in Harry Potter I, with his classic Scots accent.

Okay, here's something else you can make out of trash--plastic railroad ties, which will outlast wood ones by 7 or 8 times, they say, and will apparently make their makers rich, but legally so.

What about creating a company similar to what TerraCycle does?

They repurpose items in the trash into products that they sell. For example, they turn recycled juice boxes into backpacks.

Here's a list of all the products they've made from recycled trash:

Maybe your comic book version could repurpose empty dog food cans and create dog houses with them.

@MontereyJack,
I've just finished reading the first Harry Potter book to my little boy, didn't realise Woods was a Scot. Then you've got Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen accents that are all different, and that's not the end of it.

@izzythepush,
Now I KNOW you aren't a CHRISTIAN. Harry Potter is an ABOMINATION. NO CHRISTIAN in their RIGHT MIND would read that or let their kids read that.

@JGoldman10,
Harry Potter is a kid's book, classic tale of good vs evil. You're more of a Nutter than a Christian, if Jesus came back today you'd probably find him an abomination. Jesus had most of his arguments with self-righteous stick in the muds like you. The person in The Bible you're most like is Caiaphas, he went round condemning people too.

I don't know if you are familiar with American slang vernacular or not, but I was using the 10th definition of Puffy:

noun=an extremely cool person.

Why the interest in my characters all of a sudden? Esp. Tuffy and his kinfolk?

Why are you all focusing on Tuffy and his relatives? I HAVE OTHER CATS, and I have a bunch of other CANINE characters I am working on.

Why are you discussing this here? I am going to start other threads for this.


It is obvious Mr. Push doesn't know that much about black American slang either.
