Resident Evil Refrigerator

This seems appropriate...

Anyway, thanks again to Skyraider and their merry band of all-seeing rat bandits for risking their lives and dumpster diving that close to an object that no doubt breaks several federal laws by merely existing.
 
I've been expecting a cleanup crew to show up at 14BLC for some time now based on the port-a-john that was visible in earlier leaks. Barb would not have rented one just for herself and Chris.

I knew it had to be a matter of not if, but when. I wasn't sure if State Farm would cover debris removal, but it's likely they only cover a percentage of it. I wonder if that's what Barb's been arguing with them about (among other things I'm sure).

The refrigerator also means it's definitely a cleanup crew clearing out 14BLC, because there's no way Chris would be able to put that into the dumpster by himself even if he was so inclined. I also have to laugh at that pic because if the refrigerator were at all functional they'd have made some attempt to reclaim / recycle it or at least make sure the coolant doesn't escape into the atmosphere. It must be indescribably nasty inside that thing if they grabbed the first tape at hand (painters tape - not even duck tape) to seal the doors shut before tossing the whole thing unopened into the bin.

That was the first thing I noticed---painter's tape, of all things. I knew something about that struck me as odd. . .& again, from the outside, the fridge looks perfectly salvageable.

Trashed refrigerators are usually required by law to have their doors removed before disposal to keep children from getting trapped inside (because there's nothing kids enjoy more than climbing into broken refrigerators apparently), but clearly the clean up crew considered whatever is inside that refrigerator to be the greater menace (probably they just don't want to work around the smell that thing contains - and that's saying a lot because clean up crews are generally accustomed to some pretty bad smells).

I actually remember hearing something to the effect of taking the doors off a fridge before disposing of it, but. . .holy shit.

Also I'm reminded of the toaster oven from the ending of Time Bandits. Whatever is inside that refrigerator, don't touch it. It's evil.


What is even? Is the ending still that awkward with context?

It's impossible to say just how Barb is fucking up without knowing more private details of her negotiations with State Farm, but it's pretty much a given Barb is fucking up.

I don't know how Greene County handles things, but I have a strong suspicion the clean up crew is finally there because it's been long enough for the county to have stepped in and given an ultimatum to get on with things. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the clean up crew was actually hired by the county, with the county sending Barb the bill (and probably a fine). As things stand now I don't see anything that definitively shows whether the house is being stripped to be rebuilt or stripped to be demolished, but things don't look good for Barb and Chris.

Yeah, there used to be a big scare about kids getting trapped in unused refrigerators and suffocating. However, I don't think there's any danger of any child willingly crawling into that particular refrigerator.

Time Bandits. Excellent movie. Oh, and the ending is even more awkward in context.
 
Man oh man do I feel bad for the poor fools who tried to open that fridge. I hope they didn't think it had only been sitting without power for a few months compared to the few years it's actually been growing toxic waste.

A thousand internet points to the first man to photoshop Barb wearing a horned helmet with those silly viking hair braids.
