Captain ILL is a bit of an elitist since he always buys things he needs from stores instead of going around back and fishing them out of the store's dumpsters. Apparently though, he's missing out on quite a lot. From the back cover: "The Art and Science of Dumpster Diving takes you on a guided tour of America's back alleys where amazing wealth is carelessly discarded: Food (tons of it), clothes, toys, furniture, books, photos, flowers, and much more." The Captain gets the willies thinking about eating food out of a dumpster, so he feels a less disgusting arrangement is called for. Perhaps a series of racks and shelves for the discarded food to be placed on is in order. It would require some sort of of cover, or canopy to keep the weather out. And refrigeration for the items that require it. Maybe what they really need, is another store behind the main store for all the discards!

Cardboard Queen knows quite a bit about dumpster diving. Where do you think she got her name?
I thought she was called the Cardboard Queen because she was made out of cardboard.
