Let's Hung Out Together
FOUND by Stephanie
in Portland, OR
I found this on my friend's fridge. Her housemate found it six years ago in a university dining hall. I love the contrast between the photo and the effort-filled attempt at reaching out to people. I can just see this guy painstakingly making all the little tear-off tabs with all his info. It looks like many folks were interested- hopefully he made many friends out of his post!
I also love that her roommate has been carrying this around for six years, knowing how special it is, just waiting for a motivated person with a scanner to share it with y'all.

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...
That is the beautiful, meticulous handwriting of an active Japanese boy or girl who learned how to write the Latin alphabet later in life. Love the colloquial "oops."
If only friends could be recruited...
I love the neat handwriting. I wish I could see his/her picture.
If only this were actually safe, I might try something similar. But where I live, it would be asking for nightmares in real life. Let us hope it was posted in one of those small, friendly colleges where people are pleasant, and that he or she didn't meet stalkers, wierdos or predators.
I love the impecably perfect hand writing/printing. I hear ya, basil, not too many places where this could be safely posted. LOL ! I can just imagine. A whole reality show can be produced based on posting this somewhere and seeing the results.
aking off his pants, and he says, "Friends? Yeah, I guess you could say we're gonna be frie
Define "active".
@Biff..also "easy-going".
@ Biff and Ian ... I'm afraid that "active boys and active girls" had a QUITE different meaning there on the College of Visual Arts where student directors were often seen and heard recruiting volunteer anonymous actors and actresses for their movies.
Especially when they got to the semester where they were taught how to make those grainy, black and white silent movies that skipped the big screen debut and went directly to coin-operated boot viewing.
Oops. my name is __________.
Oops. my number is ________.
Oops. my email is _________.
The Finder's blurb mentions little tear-off tabs- where would those have been? (assuming that the upper left was the photo.)
Yea, let's hung out together! It's my theme for the day!
I think this perfect handwriting is a sure tip off that this person is a serial killer.
What "photo"?
"We couldn't enjoy talking with college students."
Join the club, pal.
"in me or something related Japan."
I love that he just throws the word Japan in there. Maybe he/she wants engrish friends?
All your friend are belong to us!
Many college students were obsessed with Japan, so Katsu figured if he mentioned he was from Japan he'd get plenty of friends. He did, but they kept asking where his dorm room was and whether he had any spare keys.
Yes, the photo and tear-off tabs with the contact info. have been edited out by Found. The photo is likely from a photo booth and shows the Japanese boy pictured, desperately trying to look cool. Most of the tabs were torn off but a few remain giving his name and email address. After I scanned it, I returned it to my friend and it again holds a place of honor on their fridge. No matter how many times I see it, I'm captivated by his plight and his attempt at "recruiting friends."
What does japan have to do with making friens? Do you know what live is? Do you?!? Your tearing me apart Japanese boy!!!!!!
Ryan! Ryan! Relax, my friend. (Can I call you friend? Can I recruit you as a friend?)
I am interested Hello Kitty, Daiso, Japanime and YOU, Japanese College Boy!
I kept reading Ryan was in a colony of slippery men. I'm so disappointed.
I really like that someone in Oregon used "y'all." It is a very convenient contraction that should really be more widespread across the U.S. I'm wondering, though, if it's actually grammatically correct.
I say "y'all" from time to time... but my ghetto classmates usually give me dirty looks and remark that I'm a poser.
We are two wild and crazy guys who cruise so succesfully in tight slacks.
I love the "Recruiting Friends!" part at the top. It reminds me of a video game, like Final Fantasy.

@Librarian wins!

I am pretty sure this ends in cannibalism.
