The Paper Bag Lover
FOUND by Begita in Innisfail Apartment Complex
A friend and I shared an apartment with some people we lived downstairs they lived upstairs, a few times when I'd come back from work weird notes like this would be on the stairs leading to our apartment, not long after they were evicted for selling drugs so we don't know who they came from.

Traditionally, Xs are kisses, and Os are hugs. I suppose, really, "fs" are self-explanatory.

"Ask Tara, she will tell you all about me." I always hated being the go-between. What am I, a bag of oats?

Or is Bethany taking Tara's leftovers?

Either way, if the note was found dropped on the stairs, it would seem Bethany was less than impressed with paper bag love.

Unless he's her bagman, and the police took him away.

I get the creepy feeling this is some weirdo who can't get off with the chick looking at him. Hence the paper bag. Does he wear it over his head or does she? Ask Tara.

A clinching argument for shops only ever issuing plastic carrier bags.

Spending way too much time in deciphering the backstory
This is a good find but I wish the finder would learn to punctuate I mean finding something isn't enough I do hate it when I have to read something over and over to figure out what it means, it's hard to say why some people don't think they need periods or commas or they put commas where there should be periods I think Begita probably does know where the weird notes on the stairs came from because they disappeared after the people she and her friend shared an apartment with upstairs were evicted for selling drugs who are they and how does she know they were evicted for selling drugs, it seems suspicious to me.

The whole backstory is so confusing. Maybe this punctuation will help clarify (if I got it right.)

"A friend and I shared an apartment with some people. We lived downstairs they lived upstairs. A few times when I'd come back from work, weird notes like this would be on the stairs leading to our apartment. Not long after they were evicted for selling drugs, so we don't know who they came from."

Aww... so sweet... especially the "fff" part. What girl could resist this romantic note? Go for it, Bethany, he sounds like a real catch!!!

Oh, this is more than creepy. Bethany's stalker noticed that Bethany chooses paper over plastic and HE PREFERS PAPER TOO! It is a cosmic love connection sign: PaperBagLove! Bethany, it is time for you to run to the hills...

Is it a Requiem for a Paper Bag? (have you read that yet? Pretty cool.)
Yeah, I always thought The Unknown Comic was kinda hott.

PBL made me sing out loud there toward the end: I think I love you! So what'm I so afraid of..?

You spending way too much time.. so was your whole big long first paragraph INTENTIONALLY poorly punctuated? Because your post was WAY more difficult to read than that little old Finder's Blurb.

I read all the x's as alpha's. I wonder what an alpha would signify?

I spend way to much time using the greek alphabet to do math though.

For some reason, this made me think of "Boxman". I searched the Found Archives and Boxman appeared 11/1/07, exactly 2 years ago. Those were better Found days.

So ... if the writer was really a "paper bag lover" then why did she or he tear one all up and write on it? That's the part about this find that makes absolutely no sense.


But then maybe this is just a reference to that Beatles song. You remember how it goes:

Paper bag lover (paperbag lover)
Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?
It took me years to write, will you take a look?
It's based on a novel by a man named Lear
And I need a job, so I want to be a paperbag lover,
Paperbag lover.

[etc., etc.]

It's funny- Paperback Writer didn't enter my consciousness at all. But the tune of Part Time Lover did, for some reason...

I have a friend with low morals who says he does double baggers. Thats where he wears one too in case hers comes off!
+ November 01, 2009 05:36 PM +
it's all too confus in g
(I thought you were referring to condoms. double bagging.. but then I guess he'd be wearing both...?)

So close - but I believe we have another punctuation problem - it's not xoxoxo. It's

alpha hug alpha,

hug kiss hug,

kiss offf,

kiss hug, kiss hug

I just hope she took the advice...
