70,000 Beer Cans Found in Ogden Townhouse...WOW!!!
http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=268346 Look at photo's!!! WOW... :wow: :wow: :wow:

A seemingly unbelievable mess discovered last year in an Ogden townhouse has suddenly become an Internet legend.

It's all TRUE!


You know how some people, after they use something, just can't bear to throw it away. That might make sense if it's magazines or clothes. But what if it's empty beer cans? In astounding numbers?

When property manager Ryan Froerer got a call from a realtor last year to check on a townhouse, he knew something was up.

Ryan Froerer, Century 21: "Said it was the sickest thing he's ever seen. Just unimaginable that someone could live in that."

15. Stale beer and cig butts in half the cans!
PHEEYEW!

The good news is that the cans netted the landlord $800.00.

I can't imagine living like that. I can't imagine what the carpeting in that place was like under all those cans.

18. $800? What a rip off!
In Oregon, that many cans is worth $3500.

6. Obviously the tenant has some form of mental illness.
Good thing mental health care is so widely accepted and well-funded in America.

7. Yikes!
Looks like something I thought about doing to a house we lived in after dealing with a worthless slumlord for 3 years. Instead, I just called Code Enforcement as we were moving out.

:evilgrin:

8. On the news last night, the reporter said the owner had accumulated
those cans during his 8 years living in the townhouse.

70,000/(365*8) = 23.97 cans of beer per day. Sounds like good clean fun to me.

9. And perhaps the most disgusting thing
Is the fact that all this fellow drank was Coors Lite:puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke:
I mean really now, if you're going to get yourself into a case a day beer habit, at least have the good taste to go with something decent tasting, Hamms, PBR, Black Label. Stay away from the piss water though, whatever you do.

17. Maybe he only bought it for the cans, and dumpted the beer in the toilet.
I mean, the guy's got some form of OCD, but he's not necessarily batshit crazy.

20. Can you see the marketing campaign???
The commercials all make it seem like the fellows would rather have the beer than the hot lady...this guy proves that people like that actually exist, I guess!

13. "Just unimaginable that someone could live in that." ??
That's a comment only a myopic untraveled Amurikan could make. That jackass has no concept how many of the people in this world must live - that place would seem like luxury.
