Get Muscle
FOUND by Beth T.
in Flea Market
I found this flyer in a oversized messenger style bag for carry art materials. I was really excited with my flea market score; the bag was full of pockets and the pockets full of random half used canvas, pencils and notebooks. However, the real treasure was this note tucked in a sketch book of child's drawings of cats with bow ties and weeping princesses.

Mmmm I want some musle -- especially warmed up with bananas on top. What a winner breakfast! And it will only costal dollar the second week. I say that's a bargain. Now if I can just get the 5-year-old neighbor kid to get some for me.
Is it a ad or something? lol 5year old kid with muscle. Great idea
a child who draws cats and weeping princesse would need to get himself some muscle. i hope he called "me" before his bag was sold at the flea market
I would go drawing and find my kid's toys had "fallen" into my portfolio. Nice reminder of my children as I lived my "other" life. This is sweet and sad. Too bad the parent didn't get to keep this little bit of their child's life.
Although, maybe the kid was into extortion. The way the other kid would get muscle is by defending themself against the note-writer as they muscled their dollar away from them the second week. Just thinkin'.
Looks like this kid is at it again:

I wonder, is the flea market in Ottawa, or did the cartweel instructor move to a flea market in a brand new city?
is the first week free? can you get muscles the first week and drop out the second to avoid paying a dollar? how long will it take to get strong? i have a lot of questions for this little entrepreneur.
I want musle! Too bad I'm a little beyond the age limit. People have told me I look young though...
Great find, I like how i's almost written in valid ad speak, shows how crap adverts are when a 5 year old can replicate them almost perfectly.
haha
reminds me of an unintentional get rich quick scheme I had in 4th grade. I charged all my friends $1 to join my club and then we never had a meeting. I felt bad.
This is where Danielle started out.
Before she started stealing ceramic cats.
I would weep too, if I were a princess and the witch had turned my prince into a cat with a bow tie. You can kiss frogs with impunity but cats (who believe themselves all to be royalty) don't put up with it.
Children ages from 5 to 12 don't like muscle I guess. Or maybe I am too old to know want children want now.
If you experience a musle lasting longer than four hours, contact your doctor immediately.
Why are the prev and next buttons all screwed up!!!!!????
OK, kid, you convinced me. I want muscles....Wait! Where's your phone number? You mean I can't call? Aaaaarrrrrgggghhh!
No, mlm- you just lean your head out your window and call him. "KID! HEY KID! I WANT SOME MUSLE! OVER HERE KID!"
I bet the dollar comes out of your checking account as an automatic withdrawal. Then, you have to write eleventy bazillion threatening letters to get it to stop. In the end, your free week trial costs the equivalent of an Ivy League education.
Okay, I'll ask.
These cat drawings? Were they drawings of ceramic cats? And were the princesses weeping because someone had stolen the cats?
This reminds me of something my daughter would do. She makes up these little clubs called "Kool Kids" or "Spy Buddies" with my son, and then makes heart-wrenching video infomercials with her digital camera, begging for money. This find is a little sad, though...my daughter is also an artist type, and I find her little drawings everywhere. I wonder how those things ended up at a flea market. Did the kid just grow up? Hopefully nothing bad happened.
wonder how much for a 6 pack of abs? if it's only 2 bucks, sign me up :p
So now we know where the kid was going who needed to walk his dog in circles until it's feet started bleeding... I bet you it is a really harsh workout routine..
@Geek--Thanks for good laugh this morning!I once heard a comedian say that if HE took those pills and had an erection that lasted 4 hours, he wasn't calling a doctor, he was calling a hooker. HA!
Even though the kid didn't leave his phone number (see above) this is just about the cutest thing EVER. At least until my son gets old enough to become this enterprising.
To get musle like Popeye! Eat lots of spinach!
(a dollar a can)
When Jeff's gymnastics program yielded no results, he decided to start a workout program instead. Still, no one joined! He was heartbroken. Years later he looked at the paper realized there was no phone number, laughed, and put it in a bag which he took to the flea market.
I only wish they left the phone number on there.. I want to be strong! hahaha
It sounds like one of those old Charles Atlas ads.. "I was a 98 pound weakling..!"
