Lost Prophets and Dumpster Diving Related:
I threw away a Lost Prophets shirt with a bunch of other clothes and junk magic the gathering cards when I was switching apartments after my sophomore year of college (around 2005). When I went back to toss more stuff a homeless guy was inside already going through everything. Cool.
A few weeks later at a local coffee place I was playing Magic the Gathering with my roommate when that same homeless guy came in. He came over to us, bummed a cigarette, then asked if he could sit at the table and play a few games of Magic. It was after midnight so it was already weird/unsettling seeing him, but I bought him a coffee and told him he could play when we were done with our game.
Before we started playing he took off his coat which revealed the same Lost Prophets shirt I threw away. So now it was really weird and we wondered if he recognized us. He seemed harmless though so whatever. After he started playing with us using a mono blue deck things got a bit comical when he would keep enthusiastically saying things like "How do you like me now?!" or "Ah Ha!" every time he'd play shit cards like
After we pummeled him several games my roommate and I decided it was time to go. Before we left the homeless dude asked if we wanted to buy his cards. Most/all of his cards were ones I had already thrown away before, but feeling sorry I gave him a ten and said he could keep the cards. Then he asked if we wanted to buy some cell phones and he opened a bag that only had landline cordless phones in it. I told him they were all really nice but there was no way I could afford a second "cellphone".
Then we left. Never saw him again.
He was an old guy with no teeth and ears that looked like a tattered old sponge.
I doubt he's still alive.
