OK this has been addressed elsewhere in this thread but I'd like a show of hands - who among us hasn't thrown something yummy away, then dug it out later and scarfed the damn thing down (from the bag, hopefully) - I know I have.

this is why you spill salt on yummy things you need to destroy, to save yourself - that chocolate cake is not so nice when it tastes like it's been swimming in the salton sea

Sherri claimed that she was going to vote for McCain because Sarah Palin has a kid with Down Syndrome...but making an under the breath comment about eating chips from the garbage is smack down material? Interesting.

I ate Arby's out of my trash once, it was a long time ago (last week) and I had ordered curly fries telling myself I'd only eat a few and throw away the rest. . . which is what I did till half an hour later when I could still smell them in the kitchen so I reached back in. . . I know I know so horrible, BUT they were still in the bag so they were protected!!!

I can't wait until they work this storyline into 30 Rock. I imagine Kenneth as part of this little backstory somehow.

Why does she say "you wouldn't do that because you have CHILDREN in the house" as if eating food out of the garbage is like smoking crack and and worshipping Satan in front of a child?

@frankie22: Oh I thought she said that because kids are dirty and put nasty stuff in the garbage. Living alone, if I throw a bag of chips in the garbage, I'll know that they're still safe a couple hours later. But with kids! They might have stuck their boogers in the bag!

But you could be right. Which would make her comment seem even douchier...

At Chez Cheez, by the time foodstuffs make it to any sort of receptacle for disposal (use your imagination here), they're entirely too mangled, processed, and nutrient-deficient for human consumption.

it's whoopi's eyes. that's all.

sherri didn't deny it, either.

now, if whoopi was saying it to me, i'd say "oh sure i have. in fact, my mom used to be chased around the house with the sour cream and onion lays potato chip bag in her hands - so yeah, it runs in the family. no shame, whoopi. no shame."

Wow, I thought this was about something else. I'm still thinking about the last time I was really poor and I had no shame about taking food from the trash. I'm a working professional now and I was thinking THIS MORNING that it's about that time of year when all the students leave my neighborhood, and that I should take a walk to see if they were throwing away any unopened foodstuffs. For all you freegans and hungry ladies, college students throw away lots of really good food in May.

@Miss. Money-Sterling: And furniture too. I know when I was in college I threw out plenty of perfectly good furniture and home stuff because I didn't have any way to move it.

@Miss. Money-Sterling: I've actually thought about going to grocery stores to see what's been thrown away that's still good. I hate the thought of the food going to waste.

I've also pulled stuff out of the dumpsters at my apartment complex. I pulled an antique Wurlitzer drum machine for my dad. He collects old radios and stuff like that.

This is what I found:

This is a long shot, but Whoopi does a lot of work for the homeless. Maybe she doesn't think eating out of the garbage is something to laugh about?

I don't think it was funny for Sherri to joke about either...

I used to call my mom out, Whoopi-style, when I was a little girl: "That never happened! Mom, why did you say that?! It didn't even happen that way!"

I wish my mom's reaction had been as passive as Sherri's!

Twitter is the arbiter of all truth. Pretty soon the polygraph will be replaced by a heavily detailed TwitterFeed audit. For example:

Alleged Criminal: "I didn't kill that man!"

Accuser: "How do we know that?"

Alleged Criminal: "I was at a keg party at the time. I Tweeted about it."

Accuser2 :"It's true sir, reports confirm that an individual did in fact Tweet at 7:30 PM on Monday the 21st that they were, "OMGdemolished @ errrrinnnns hoouuuuussssseee".

Accuser: "You are free to go."

@pandorasmittens: Oh god, I'm picturing CSI Miami-style intro.

Informant: We don't know what happened. She was here, and then she was gone. She broke up with her boyfriend and I guess they had a huge falling out, and she just vanished. And her ex's dog went missing this morning, too.

Horatio: I'm checking her Twitter now.

Informant: Oh, it says at 8:30PM last night she was packing to go. That's long before the dog went missing--

Horatio: Yes. It appears that this Tweeter...

@R_Claw: Seriously. Who hasn't thrown the bag away, saying, "I'm not going to eat anymore," then had second thoughts and pulled it out again and scarfed the rest down? Guilty.

@cuckoobananapants: I never have. Probably because I know I'd just take the bag back out of the garbage, so my undeniable laziness keeps me from making the trip to the garbage in the first place.
