This makes my office's recycling policy look amateurish and reckless. We don't have a list like that at all.

But did you? Say 20 years ago?

I notice you are not allowed to recycle cans.

Keanu hates your work, sir!
I wish I was Tom.

Granted, you are now Tom.

I didn't do much besides play outside and look for bugs under rocks 20 years ago.

With a little editting that paper would make a fun handout for a Delta Green game.

It's all yours. Just repost when you're done with it. In fact, I'll try to scan it OCR as a PDF tomorrow.

Sweet. I can use it for the creepy follow up to my hospital game. I was planning to use an apartment building but I might change it to an office and this would be great.

::Gasp!:: You mean if I throw an apple into the recycling bin, they won't be able to make it into a brand-new apple? And what's wrong with my used toilet paper? Is it not good enough for the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee?!

I think this recycling sheet is a bunch of bollocks. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a pile of waxed sundries to recycle.

This list looks very obsessive compulsive. Kind of creepy. I could just imagine some tall figure in tattered clothing clenching a blood stained version of this list and eying anyone who comes close while muttering phrases like "unclean filth must die". Hm.

Just buy a box of kleenx take the torlit paper outta the bathroom. Put this list on the door. And just let things work them self out.

What's creepier was the fact it was TAPED TO THE WALL for 20 YEARS! If I wouldn't have moved my computer desk out of sheer annoyance of how terrible our office computer is, it probably would have been there another 20.

It's from Delta Green: They are self storage units where DG agents store equipment and materials recovered from operations. They are loosely maintained by DG. A cell of agents might use it to store some guns and a magic tome or a box of weird old photos.

So think of it as a grab bag of random occult and espionage stuff.
