Hey, remember in the series finale of Sex and the City, when Miranda catches Steve's alcoholic mother roaming the streets and eating pizza straight out of the garbage can?

What are we saying, of course you do! It was one of those shocking/pivotal moments when we realized Steve's mom had fully transitioned from drunk Irish hag to Crazy Homeless Person, and wondered whether Miranda loved Steve enough to throw his deranged parent in the tub and hand-wash her naked, wrinkly body. (Turns out, she did!)

Anyhow, for some reason or another, that particular SATC moment came to mind this morning when we were sifting through the gossip pages. No, not while we were reading about Christopher Hitchens' latest crazy-person rant, but rather when we saw this bizarre item about how Cynthia Nixon was rooting through a trash can at Riverside Park.

More specifically, how Nixon reportedly picked some woman's Ziploc bag out of the trash receptacle, asked "is it okay to take this?" and then "took her son's half-eaten snack and placed it in [the woman's] used baggie."

And, for a split second, we thought to ourselves, well maybe that's not so weird? After all, the baggie was hardly in the trash for very long, and undoubtedly the Ziploc's innards were probably mostly uncontaminated, right?

Then, we reconsidered the whole "rich celebrities digging through the trash heap for used/discarded plastic bags" scenario, reversed our initial reaction and concluded it was actually "pretty fucking weird."**

** And, seriously, what would Magda say?
