What do you call 8 to 10 Lime and Bird scooters dumped in a canal?

A start.

I like that they found Lime and Bird scooters in there already

I can't wait for the state to drain the California Aqueduct near my hometown.  I read somewhere that last time it was drained in the mid-90s they pulled out around 250 cars and motorcycles.  I couldn't find an article on it (1990s is apparently considered ancient by internet standards) but found one that mentions all the shiat that turns up in another section.

The wallet is mine, so is the cash.  No really, I can describe it - it's wet, with money inside.

While cleaning the canal they found more than just dirt.
"We found about 8 to 10 of the Lime and Bird scooters. Some reason people like to slip them into the canal. I'm not sure why. We've removed a bowling ball, we removed like a handicap scooter. All sorts of books, t-shirts, sweatshirts," Merrell explained



A bowling ball?  That strikes me as strange.  Spare me the details but I'd like to know why a bowling ball was tossed in the gutter.

Canal looks like it could be cleaned up and turned in to a Riverwalk like San Antonio.  You could have a Little Loy's and a Mr. Gatti's Pizza place.  Maybe some main stream attractions like a McDonald's or Wendy's.   Make the tourists feel comfortable.  Of course a couple of Starbucks.  that area is probably completely under Star-bucked.

Salt of the Earth version of this, I'm guessing:

My buddy works in Phoenix, clearing the canals on a year round basis. He's finds an inordinate number of dildos.

Used condoms. Lots and lots of used condoms.

You can't spell canal without the word anal.

I would just like to point out that magnet fishing videos from England are some of the most oddly tranquil out there.

Police said McAfee took a pre-dawn swim in a city canal and told them "I am drunk" as he tried to explain why he was sopping wet...


Well, now he can blame the Hepatitis on his jaunt in the canal water and blithely keep drinking. Win/Win.

I like how they are going to use both equipment and machinery to drain the canal.

I've always been of the opinion that the Oscar he won that year was for Blue Velvet instead of Hoosiers, but that Blue Velvet was just too bizarre for the Academy to give it to him.

Yeah you'd have to be drunk to think swimming in that canal is anything close to a good idea.  That canal is disgusting and so is the river that feeds it.

I'm glad the colts were reasonable and didn't fire him for that.  I mean yeah it was stupid but he didn't hurt anyone or put anyone else at risk.

/ was a hell of a punter, too

There is a canal not far from where I lived in Montreal that they drained every year. Always one or two cars in it.
The last one was a new black 4 door Getta.
Not sure why I remember that

We also would have accepted an explanation of "because I was swimming in a canal".

I can only imagine what is in the C-24 Canal here in PSL.

\Imagine only. I have no knowledge of anything whatsoever, and that is all I have to say about that.
