"After tornadoes, junk donations become challenge"
" Relief officials inundated with donations"
Good...
"are sorting through the broken toys and used underwear they don't need"
EW. NOT good.
" while hunting for places to store mountains of vital supplies like canned food"
how about a walmart parking lot?
"In a dimly lit warehouse in Tuscaloosa, for instance, donated toys are piled 6 feet high"
say, are any of them GI Joe or Star Wars?
" as volunteers sort through hundreds of bags of old clothes. A 3-foot-tall plastic Santa Claus looks over the operation; volunteers say it came in with a load of contributions."
A THREE FOOT TALL PLASTIC SANTA!!
I can't think of anything more USELESS and RIDICULOUS as a donation item.
"Temporary Emergency Services of Tuscaloosa County already has 10 warehouses full of donations, but too many of those items are broken toys, dirty stuffed animals and used underwear"
ugh, ugh, and EW.
" that has to be thrown in the trash, said agency director Karen Thompson. While the warehouse space was also donated, Thompson said storing all that stuff is still costly because the organization must pay liability insurance to cover the operation in case someone is hurt on the job."
so being stuck with CRAP costs them MONEY.
I'm sure various organizations appreciate getting USEABLE stuff, but some things should not be donated ANYWHERE. Put it outside your home in a FREE box or throw it out!
And now for something hilarious:

R. J. Dio was AWESOME. PERIOD. He had one of the BEST voices for metal, when metal STILL had real singing. Some of my favorite stuff sung by him includes:
"Man on the Silver Mountain" - Rainbow
"Starstruck" - Rainbow
"Long Live Rock N Roll" - Rainbow
"Lady of the Lake" - Rainbow
"Kill the King" - Rainbow
"Holy Diver" - Dio
"Egypt (The Chains Are On)" - Dio
"The Last In Line" - Dio
"Rainbow in the Dark" - Dio
"Heaven & Hell" - Black Sabbath
"Die Young" - Black Sabbath
"Neon Knights" - Black Sabbath
"The Mob Rules" - Black Sabbath
"The Sign of the Southern Cross" - Black Sabbath
"Turn up the Night" - Black Sabbath
"Voodoo" - Black Sabbath
"TV Crimes - Black Sabbath
"Time Machine" - Black Sabbath
And if you think some of the videos from any of those songs are silly, remember, it WAS the 80's!
METAL RULES!
(also, similar stuff also recommended would include: Yngwie Malmseen's Rising Force, Black Sabbath with all their other singers, Rainbow with their other singers, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden with Bruce DIckinson, Blue Oyster Cult, and Michael Schenker Group, (before the horrid Robin McCaully joined, at least.))
