Are you familiar with the Canadian TV comedy show "Trailer Park Boys", Bobert? If you are not, don't walk...RUN to your nearest video rental place and rent the entire first season and watch it. It's frikkin' hilarious. It's about people who are roughly at the same level of life as Shane, more or less, but you really do get to like them as you get to know them.

Anyway, one of the three main protagonists is a guy called "Bubbles", and he makes a living by recovering (stealing) and repairing old grocery store shopping carts and selling them back to the local groceries for maybe 10 bucks or something like that. Bubbles lives in one of those little utility storage huts that you use to store your garden tools and stuff in. He drives a go-Kart that is powered by a lawn mower engine, and he wears glasses that are as thick as old Coke bottles, which makes his eyes look ENORMOUS, hence the name "Bubbles".

If not for busted up, lousy, poorly functioning shopping carts, Bobert, Bubbles would be totally destitute and would have to live on the street! And his 25 kitties would be starving!

So just stop yer whinin' about those crummy shopping carts, cos without them Bubbles would be fucked. ;-)
