And That's a Promise
FOUND by Carrie in Lake Grove, OR
My husband's grandfather's home was rented to various people after Grandpa passed away, but when we went to the house when we were getting ready to sell the place, we found this on one of doors. Grandpa's house is in a relatively remote location, so this person had to go out of their way to make their point known. We wonder what the recipient of the note must have done to warrant such a warning.

It probably means "beat" in a good way.

And the writer has to catch you first, so if you're really fast, and don't trip over the ceramic cats....

I think it was a note leftover from Thanksgiving. Written to the in-laws.

I may or may not be projecting.

I wonder if the person for whom this note was intended truly had a nice day, as they were most likely beaten to death if they had got close enough to even read it and see the smiley face.

Grandpa's place was an occasional stabbin' cabin for a former renter's tryst's...

Trick or Treat!
I don't think someone went out of their way to put this note on the door and make their point known. I think the resident of the house posted the sign for any potential visitors to read and heed. (word to the Pizza guy, those cookie-hawking Girl Scouts, Jehovah's Witnesses, Avon calling...)

Farmer, you seem in a foul mood today. All is not well in the Dell?

I think Carrie in Lake Grove, OR is the recipient of the note.

Not to undermine the quality of the find, just warning Carrie.

What Carrie doesn't realize is that Grandpa was running an S&M club out of his remotely located house, and the door that this flyer was stuck to was the masochists' entrance. It used to have those little tabs at the bottom with the address written on them, the absence of which goes a long way toward explaining the dozen or so sexual deviants who went missing in Lake Grove some years back.

You can really find out a lot about a person by reading their remarks.. *giggles*

Why do people who threaten others with death have to wish them a good day?

Was this written by that guy who was living in a van behind the donut shop?

The man in the van finally managed to get a house. He drove his son to Lake Grove and rented a room in the house. Unfortunately, his son really was aspiring to become a serial killer, and like his father he wanted everyone to have a nice day. He decided to beat anyone to death who came to his house to further his murderer reputation (some still doubted his killing skills).

Dude forgot when he put up his note that the dogs who used his lawn as a toilet couldn't read.

Terrifying. But it's true, he could "beat [the reader] to death" as in die first.

Davy and Peter Rothbart are in Philly tonight!

I think that a frustrated dad wrote this to his daughter's love interest after finding them together at his house without his permission.

Dads can get crazy, you know.

Frottage at your house
There is a(n) "if I catch you at my house I will murder you" point. We all have one. And whatever it is, it is almost certainly hilarious to everyone else when we verbalize (or literalize) it. This but is one such scenario. I wonder what it was all about.
