Hey, a Fish
FOUND by gatu bela in Lower East Side, NYC
It seems like after Alex discovered emoticons and sent mementos to his pals he was afraid Mimi would whack him over the head with one of her lunch boxes for not giving her one, too. So he did, with fish, and a rose.
insane in the membrane
I just assumed Alex was a girl...

Haha, that's fucking cute. I might just use those.

Edit: I WILL use those. Eventually.

Monkey in denial
you know what they say;
when I young girl hits a young guy with her lunch box over and over and over and OVER, it means she likes him...

that or she's trying to knock him out and steal his lunch.

Alex could be the faggy guy in the choir though that is friends but I think Alex is a girl. Girls will say "you guys" referring to other girls. I'm also think Alex is annoying and stupid - since Mimi is kicking and slamming Alex upside the head with her lunchbox all the time... apparently not not hard enought to knock any sense into said friends head though...

Hey a naked woman! (*)(*)

I'm sure hoping that Alex attached something to this note, because otherwise just a typed up note comes out looking like a pretty lame gift/souvenir. That would really deserve a few more whacks.

Faggy guy in the choir
C'mon Drifter...you remeber those time behind the risers. Don't ya?

Blaze, the faggy guy in the choir.
Alex was definitely not in MY choir. That faggy guy was me.

Never got hit on the head with a lunchbox, though.

This note strikes me as being written by a girl, but gender stereotypes are BS, so I'm just going to look at the fish.

I think Alex HAS to be a girl - a guy would NEVER write a Thank You note; let alone any kind of note other than "I like you, do you like me."
I'm glad to see people still take the time to write notes; although if it was written to me it would have meant so much more if it was hand-written.

Feeling in coherent
Maybe it's dripping with sarcasm and it was attach to a bag of dog turd "souvenirs".

Either that, or it is the "faggy" guy who doesn't want to be the "faggy" guy and hopes a note will turn those those bullies into buddies. My guess is that it wont work.

Hiplainsdrifter, very funny. You made my morning.

If you could change the font size, then you can make a really big fish trying to eat the little guys.

@Sammy - well the fish were suppose to be more spread out - but that got lost in the posting...

@ Geek - That emo is HILARIOUS! I've never seen that before but I will definitely have to use it. Thanks for the laugh!

@Hiplainsdrifter--your naked lady appears to have a touch of scoliosis. Love all the fish, though. Very calming.

The token gift/souvenir was a velvet Elvis.
(Aaaaand, since Found didn't have an Elvisy Find for us today, here's a couple Hound Dogs. Ample warning: the second one's not really for the faint of heart or easily offended... hee hee)

Anyone remember any Elvisy Finds?

I wonder how many lunchboxes Mimi distroyed by beating people with them? Wouldn't her parents wonder why she was bringing home battered lunchboxes?

.. in the alto section, watching the goings on behind the risers
is GatuBela Catwoman?

Hiplains, your poor woman looks like she needs Macnamara Troy.

when I was a kid and we drew it, it was w . y. (done vertically, of course) But it doesn't work very well in typed form, since you need a "bubble letter" W.
(damn formatting.)

Librarian! Great high-brow reference!

"So long and thanks for all the fish
So sad that it should come to this
We tried to warn you all but oh dear
You may not share our intellect
Which might explain your disrespect
For all the natural wonders that grow around you.
So long, So long, and thanks for all the fish"

I think Alex is a boy. Remember in 6th grade when boys and girls showed they liked each other by slugging and kicking each other? So cute!

Highplains, your nakey lady is kind distorted, like a cubism version of emoticons.

Night in a nighty for modesty sake
Oh man, Stardust was the one I was trying to find, but Las Vegas wasn't a good keyword! Good job.

I thought about Love Me (Tender), too, but wanted to save some for you. 8-)

And I don't know what song jam doughnuts refers to, but it makes it sound like "Elvis has left the building." Happy birthday to the King of Rock 'n' Roll.
