Now shit’s getting real. Yes, that is a tree jammed into a compost bin, passed over for a third time by the disposal company.
(And yes, this is a different tree further up the street. Tree #2 vanished in the night. This one’s the last holdout.)
Now it gets tense. The tree has officially been passed over for two consecutive garbage day pickups, and now the owner has to make a decision: Hope the garbage company takes it, wait for a good Samaritan to do the job, or actually deal with it. Meanwhile, it’s starting to turn fairly brown. We’ll be watching!
I feel like I’ve met a few writers in my time that have pulled the same stunt…

Me (frustrated): Yeah, flock of cows!
Beckett (rolls eyes): Never mind.

Since upgrading my brand new Lenovo Yoga 3 to Windows 10…
Is it just me or are the April Fools’ Day pranks of today getting entirely tiresome? I think it’s because the internet makes it too easy to pull them off. How about painting the Golden Gate Bridge blue or releasing a herd of cows inside City Hall? Now that’s a prank, people.
Case in point. (I can’t tell if Eater even got the joke…)
So UPS, let me get this straight.
Someone ships an express worldwide package — 58 pounds — to Ghana, Africa, using my UPS account number, but from an origin that’s about 2,000 miles away from where I live. The bill for the shipping is over $1,000. I almost never ship anything, let alone anything to Africa.
You don’t see anything just a little bit odd about that scenario?
Dixie cup filled with Froot Loops cereal. OK then.
