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...
"...stolen cocaine and money owed + other things of mine...and using them themselves"
I wonder what the other things were, that they were using themselves?
Wow, this is intense. I appreciate the extra time needed to add the bit of flourish to each underline. Must have added another couple of minutes to this note, at least. That, and the stars.
As this was written Feb. 7, does the author already know where he plans to be the following Christmas/New Years holiday season? Or was he telling us where he was previously?
Whoa dude...(used in the generic sense)...so the author has a down on prostitution, ok, fine. But s/he is upset about "cocaine and money owed to me" being stolen. If people owe this person cocaine and money, they must be a drug dealer/seller? So drugs OK, prostitution no? Hm, interesting double standard.
Does anyone in Foundland know what Girls Lives is? A website like Facebook, maybe? (I live a sheltered life here in the garden.)"Now it is Option Over." Ooooh, I am so tuff, but I am living on the streets and can't get people to pay up. Obviously whoever is stealing their drugs and money is not afraid of them At All.
How much of this is reality and how much drug-induced paranoia?
This would make an interesting study for psych students.
Sounds like the kind of crazy homeless person you try to avoid whenever you're in the area.
Who knew a mere fifty cent club membership fee could lead to such trouble?
This is why I'm just NOT a joiner.
uh, er, umm...I think I do owe this chick some money. But I swear, I never stole her cocaine.
I am scared now. What does she mean, "Now it is option over?"
Yikes!
UPDATE ON MONEY UNPAID TO ME AND EVIL NEEDED TO BE STOPPED
Sounds like the world situation.
We are all in this together, so it seems
Wow - Who ever heard of a pussy-whipped pimp?
Look man you are being way to wordy - just go out and find your ho's and lead off with a nice
but firm "Where's my money bitch?" - and then go to slapping them around from there...(that's your verbal underline right there), but not too much, as you need to have them back on the street, or looking good enough when they go before congress for you to ask for your bail out money.
What? I owe you money?
The Found dudes are posting stuff submitted last year! Woohoo, we may get to see Mona
Lisa's submission yet!
worst loan-shark/drug dealer ever!
come on man, didn't they teach you anything in thug school these days?
if your "customers" don't pay you your money, you're supposed to break their legs, or do bad things to their property/family/pets, not write passive aggressive whiney notes.
(p.s, if I am not allowed to use prostitution to earn money to pay you with, is it still ok to use it to earn money for joining a club?)
Interesting that it specifies (drug and prostitution) locales in Berkeley, but was Found in San Francisco.. did it blow over there on the wind? Did the wimpy pimp ride the BART on over there? On the other hand, perhaps these signs were posted all over the Bay Area.
When I lived in Berkeley, I'd head out to work at about 5 AM and there were crack hos and dealers working the streets even at that hour. Not sure if they were up and at 'em early, or out all night. Creepy reality there.
While some of the wording in this notice is clumsy, the handwriting is very neat and tidy, and the spelling and punctuation impeccable.
I don't know what it is, but I just love schizophrenic manifestos.
Welcome to The City.
Anyone else think that this note isn't funny, but rather sad?
I live in Berkeley and I wonder who this person is. I may have seen him/her on Telegraph before. But I have no idea what "Girls Lives" is.
(((Great comments all of you!)))
Well, I am wondering why the person is so surprised that street people won't repay money and drugs back. Hmmmm. What a surprise.
I think it's lame, not funny or sad.
I Googled Girls Lives and got this:
http://www.nea.org/home/17034.html
The quotes cited from the project made me sad.
"Tis true, tis pity--and pity tis, tis true."
But I don't think this is what the Find refers to.
@baby basil: I, too, oppose prostitution but not intoxicants. What should I think of myself?
@Highplains drifter: It's hard out there for a ppimp.
I guess we could say that while it is not necessarily gramatically correct, it IS spellingly and punctuationally impressive.
And it's an "update". That means this isn't the first time that folks in the neighborhood got to read this sort of thing. Wowzers.
I hope this isn't too late to post this:
This find reminded me of an old episode of "This American Life" called "Pimp Anthropology". It is about a whimpy pimp in Oakland in the 1970s. You can download the podcast at www.thisamericanlife.com or from itunes. Excellent episode. If you enjoyed this find, I think you will really like the podcast.
It's never too late to post something about a wimpy pimp.
@ Pavel: I LOVE TAL and I have heard that episode you are referring to.
TAL is my fav, and has led me to other excellent podcasts (The Moth, for example)
GIMME MY MUTHA FUCKIN MONAAAAYYYYY MUTHA FAKOS!!
@Fooch: Thanks for The Moth referral. I'll check it out!
wooo! berkeley!!! I've probably encountered this sad person on telegraph ave.
Can anyone say paranoid schizophrenia?
Now THIS should be done in comic sans!
With the exception of "continuee," I - like several others here - am simply gobsmacked by the juxtaposition here: Rank insanity combined with beautiful penmanship, flawless spelling, and reasonable grammatical skills.
This ?lady? should seriously look into a job teaching basic English skills at the Shelter. Or hell, anywhere. (I work with people who don't spell this well, yet have college degrees and jobs in management.)
Flashback to walking down Pacific in Santa Cruz, accosted by some obviously crazy homeless guy, my ex telling me that Reagan closed all of Cali's crazyfolks institutions as governor in the '70s, so there's never been a place for them since then.
No idea if it's true or not... this just brought back old times. heh.

Yep...Just another corporate memo from AIG.
