Could Yoo
FOUND by Brittney Nichole in Inglewood, Calgary, AB, Canada
During a period when my car was in the shop, I took the bus to my babysitting gigs in Inglewood for a week - a VERY long ride. One morning I arrived pretty early, and instead of showing up at the door and hanging around awkwardly, I decided to take a walk. I found this guy lying wet on the sidewalk a couple blocks away. It took a little effort to preserve it due to its wet, fragile state, but it was so worth it.

Sorry Vito. Three bunnies nap. Two ducklings nap. And you nap. You're taking a very long nap. You're sleeping with the fish. You've missed your last wake-up call. Ciao.


(side note to Brittney the Finder: you "found this guy lying wet on the sidewalk"??? Did you wake him up when you took this note off of him?)

Greeaat. Now I've got "Wake Me Up Before You Go-go" stuck in my head. Urgh.

does anyone else have a couple of hours' delay before they can access the second Find of the Day?

You put the boom boom in to my heart...
aaaahahaha..! Basil, you beat me to the Wham (wasn't it once Wham! U.K.?) joke.

I've never experienced a delay in accessing the second Find of the Day- I'm usually not near a computer when they're posted, but whenever I happen to be, both are readily available.

Yoo, his Chinese roommate, had a very special way of waking people up. We can't describe it here because this is a family-friendly web site, but - trust me - you, too, would want Yoo to wake you.

Wonder why the guy was lying wet in a fragile state on the sidewalk in the first place.

Untie my ankles in the morning, ankles.
Ungag my mouth before you leave me, baby.
Untie my ankles in the morning, and let me limp away.
I think you're worth the pain to me.

When Greta was a little girl, her mom was always waking her up. She fell asleep in the car, her mom woke her up. She fell asleep in class, her mom climbed in the window and woke her up. Now she was going away to college, and she wanted her mom to wake her up one last time. (She was dyslexic and very tired when she wrote this.)

I suspect this note was written by a waterboarded Guantanamo detainee. That would explain why it is addressed to "Yoo" and why the guy was found wet and in a fragile state.

Crazy this find was in my very own neighbourhood in Calgary. There is something tragic to me about this note- almost like a wife has said she is leaving her husband in the morning and he writes this to her, puts it by the coffee pot, knowing she always gets up first.
And, @ Librarian and Just Me, I think the finder meant the note was "this guy", not an actual guy.

Just me...yes, THAT one
Three Finds??? I've been away too long!

It says You. Not yoo. That's how they do their u's. She/he just brought the two ends too close in you. Look how he/she did it in Could.

Almost angered me that you guys got it so freakin wrong.
