The Other Stuff
FOUND by Tiffany Shropshire
in Austin, TX
Found in between the pages of a book I was leafing through at Goodwill. It was in a little envelope with Faulkner Flowers in San Marcos, TX, on it. I also found a brochure for a workshop on reaping your social security benefits circa 1991 in the same book.
I'd love to know what the other stuff was, and how good it must have been if flowers were only second best.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Is Paige the butterfly, and the note signed "Larva"?
the man on the corner was out of marijuana, so he brought her some crack. cheap and available.
the man on the corner'll get her on the comeback.
urned out to be oregan
But in "Calendar Girls" smoking oregano got the son busted, didn't it? (Yeah, but 'busted' and 'buzzed' are two different things.) Oh, right.

Maybe the man on the corner usually sold full-sized note paper, but had sold out of it today and was left with these little flower-laden note cards.

And monarch butterflies on yellow hybrid tea roses? I don't think so!
*sigh* all the good drug-dealer jokes have already been taken.
OK then... Let's see... maybe it could be the beginning to a bad song...
The man on the corner was out of the other stuff.
I hope that these flowers make detox seem not-so-rough.
Social security is going broke - won't have enough
[I guess it's a good thing I don't write for a living.]
Larry went to the wrong corner since he was already buzzed. He went to 6th and Capitol, was supposed to be 5th and Lamar. His honesty would not let him substitute oregano.
Larry knew Paige hated monarch butterflies because they made her think of social security (he wasn't sure why). Unfortunately, all he could find was paper with monarch butterflies, for which he apologized profusely. To make her feel better, he got a brochure on social security.
I have been staring at this find for quite awhile.
Librarian, the monarch butterfly was just passing by those hybrid tea roses. It doesn't look like it had landed...on its way to the milkweed plants around the corner....
Take a Paige out of my book, Larry...drive to another shop and find some of the good stuff! Don't make do with second best!
It's not like in middleschool, where you just *tell* someone it's hash and they get high...
The man on the corner was out of the tulips you always get, Paige. Sorry. So I got you these instead. I think they're daisies.
Paige: Larry, please go to the corner store and get me a little gift note card that says "Happy Birthday" on it. Make it snappy and please - DO NOT write on it this time... It's and simple request... Happy Birthday and do not write on it - Got it?
Larry: PPaPPaige is it a bbig B-B-Birthday CCCCCard?
Paige: No. It's one of those little cards like on a flower arrangement. Now go up to the corner and get it.
I thought I might be on to some sort of self-referential note, but Sergey Brin's co-worker is named "Larry Page" not "Larry Paige".
And yet, oddly enough, googling the name 'Larry Paige' brings up a pile of people with that name.
I can't speak for other women, but I'd rather get nothing than the wrong thing. My husband has trouble grasping this.
That's pretty neat handwriting for a cucumber!
Nice, Feeling. I got it
(Where is my hairbrush??)
yes it is that time of year again. so inconvenient that the drought comes during the long days of summer.
Ahh Sammy. I was afraid my little reference would be completely lost on everyone.
Larry must not have a problem yet. I know when the guy on the corner is "out of the othe stuf" I get all sweaty and my hand shakes too bad to write or eat soup properly.
Since he was out of the other stuff, he could have chucked him some shrooms instead.
It looks like the Monarch is going to eat the little butterfly. I knew a girl named Paige once, and I really like that name. I also knew a girl named Connie Shropshire in elementary school. I wonder if Tiffany is related to her.
Why?
Why??
WHY???
Just Because, that's why!!
