FOUND by Lisa
in Cookeville,Tennessee
Found this list coming out of the Wal-Mart Superstore. I wonder what the "get well" was for?

I think this guy is gonna spike her diet coke with lime and hope he gets lucky....
In all seriousness... I'm thinking anniversary? Maybe a birthday, but with the "obligatory framed picture", anniversary seems more likely. Diet coke with lime isn't the most romantic drink, though. It seems a little out-of-place.
i love love actually, and chipotle, and framed pictures of people that they felt obliged to give me.
I think the Diet Coke with lime either the sweetest item on the list--the shopper is getting it as part of a gift for someone who loves Diet Coke (face it, it's addictive),
OR it's the lamest item--the shopper him/herself is addicted and added that item for him/herself.
Not quite sure about the "wig/toupee?" though.
I guessing this was a list of gift suggestions written by the giftee and given to the potential gifter.
It's like they wrote down a several just plain goofy things and then the two they really were hoping for were punctuated with a "is this asking too much?" question mark.
Just a guess.
Intersting find. Thanks.
"get well"?
where is there a "Get Well" in this? I don't see it.
I LOVE THIS FIND. SOUNDS LIKE THEY WERE PLAYING ROLES?
Glad I'm not the only one who can't see the "Get well" reference... (huh?)
The word "obligatory" makes the whole thing seem like too much effort. Maybe it's just me.
Is this a get well card?
That "get well" reference will be all the rage today. I like "big thing" of diet coke w/lime.
That's right< Norma Jean - we can't agree on whether to use U.S. customary or the metric system so all 2-litre bottles are hereafter known as "big things."
It sounds like a Very Special Christmas, Indeed.
I am wondering what they went with: a gift certificate to Qdoba? or Chipotle? for future reference, what would you suggest?
And does the soundtrack to Love, Actually have any significant aphrodesiac qualities?
It sounds like this dork is trying to be romantic.
i love the option for an obligatory framed picture of....just him!
Oooooo ... somebody is gettin' some leg tonite !! What !!
Sounds like someone trying very hard to find a gift for a gril/boyfriend. Serious gifts, gag gifts, and a quick drink of Coke Lime. I have made such lists myself :-P
Love, Actually is my favorite movie, I wish I had the soundtrack!
Get well... the finder seems to have jumped to the conclusion that this is a list of things to bring to a friend in the hospital. Possible a cancer survivor (the wig/ toupee reference). I prefer to think this is a
Christmas list for the bachelor uncle who is going bald and has everything he could ever want except a wife and children
Get well? This made me LOL with all the list's that been here of late. Mayhap's it is two list's in one! Could be the sender knew more about her find....
I can see it already, they just came in from dinner at Chipolte, Love Actually Soundtrack on the sterio, picture of happy couple framed and set on bedside. He's standing there in his boxers and brown socks on his head is his new toupee', he has a highball glass of iced diet coke/lime in one hand (I can just hear the clinking of the ice) and a long wooden backscratcher stick in the other. WTF?
I think you're on to something, NJ. I sure hope that wig/toupee is firmly attached. How does one attach a wig? wig adhesive? Just imagine the horror of the backscratcher dislodging that wig. . .
Seems more like a list of possible gifts for a friend's birthday. But the kind of friend you really don't know and/or like very much. The coke links to the one in-joke they have, and the wig is an offensive reference to the recent haircut of said friend.
Tennessee Lisa needs to get the hell back online and tell us what she meant with that "get well" reference.
"I am wondering what they went with: a gift certificate to Qdoba? or Chipotle? for future reference, what would you suggest?"
Qdoba, most definitely. The only advantage Chipotle had was having pork, but now Qdoba does too. And Qdoba nachos are amazing. Chipotle? No nachos! Qdoba is much better.
I feel so out of it. What the heck are Qboda and Chipotle? I also never heard of a movie called Love Actually.
Are these things only Walmart shoppers know? I refuse to go there, even if it would help me to understand things it seems like everyone else knows. Even if I needed a wig/toupee and Walmart was the only place to buy one. I'd make my own before I'd shop at Walmart.
Too many of my favorite stores have gone out of business because of Walmart.
I'm glad the spam protector isn't asking me to multiply today.
My theory: A teenage boy buying his mom something for her birthday. Mom's favorite movie: Love Actually. Mom's favorite drink: Diet Coke with lime. And what mom wouldn't want to have a back scratcher and a framed picture of her precious little squirt? The wig/toupee? The dad is balding and it's a family joke; the toupee is so his mom doesn't have to wake up next to a bald man every day.
I win.
Skidamar, you are reaching, not a good theory. I think Norma Jean's is more on target.
This was written by siblings in the car while they tried to think of something to give one of their parents, i'm thinking Dad. Dictated by the driver, transcribed by the passenger.
The wal-martness and the corporate-gift-certificateness and the brand-name-soda-as-giftness of this list serves as a reminder that capitalism thrives on the transformation of familial expressions of love into obligatory gift giving.
how disheartening.
Clover, please elaborate, of what would you make your own toupee?
My mind is racing with all of the possibilities. Cat hair, an old sweater, that nasty stuff stuck in the drain, a moldy piece of bread?
Picture, too funny!
im pretty sure walmart does not sell wigs or toupees.
clover: qdoba and chipotle are burrito chains scattered all over the east coast (qdoba is all over the place, but i only see chipotle in the dc metro area). and if you haven't seen 'love actually,' you should correct that pronto! (and i'm not even a rom-com fan!)
Clover, a chick like yourself should be ashamed of herself for not seeing a chick movie like Love Actually. Go rent it.. seriously. You won't regret it.
Qdoba and Chipotle are also in the midwest! Well, at least in Indianapolis!
Congratulations, Skidimar! You win my vote. I think the "obligatory framed picture of me/us" might be about mom's 2(or more?)kids.
P.S. Are we neighbors?
Rex, you are so right. Nothing more needs to be said.
'What to take to Mom and Dad's for the holiday weekend'
This is a very strange shopping list. It sounds more like a packing list to me. Oh, and don't forget that big toupee - the one Daddy left here when they visited in the spring! He wants it back.
LOL! This is just nonsensical enough that it's funny.
I LOVE this - somebody finally said it on paper "Obligitory framed picture of me/us"
That is classic and funny.
I feel like "Norma Jean" is making fun of me. I really thought from reading the comments before looking at the found that it was a get well card. Get well, Norma Jean...Jes, nobody would rally have that name.
Price of going to dad's for the holiday pot-luck weekend & party and not having to take a stupid covered dish - PRICELESS.
There 8 Chipotles in San Diego County, I've never heard of Qdoba.
I don't want anything from anybody if they feel it's obligatory. Are there not any genuine people left on this rock?
Dating myself... first I thought DATING myself... as in love, actually. But now I get it, Mona.
Thank you to everyone for educating me about burrito chains with names with weird spellings. I don't think we have either of those in Oregon, at least not around where I live. I will go rent Love, Actually, since it's so highly rated by you guys! If it's anything like Ten Things I Hate About You or French Kiss, cool. I love both those movies!
Stinkerbell, what's rom-com? OH! Now I get it! Romantic Comedy. Duh.
How would I make my own toupee? I don't know, I'm pretty creative. I have been known to work wonders with yarn and flour-and-water glue.
... and you all must be walmart shoppers , and I'd make my own before going to walmart , and I'm repulsed by walmart , enough about walmart , what do you think of walmart ? WTF Clover !?
So, who said Walmart shoppers are not a cunning bunch of creative penny penchers.
The 'get well' is hiding behind the fnord.
The fword is in there? I seem to miss everything.
I don't see it . I just don't see it ! Somebody tell me exactly WHERE the get well is . What fword ?
And Clover , that was quite a tirade you unleashed on Walmart . I don't go there either , but it's like you just let loose with some pent up feelings . Hope you feel better .
If you can't see the fnord, I can't help you (and you probably don't get the joke, either).
The fnord is right there, look, next to the offog.
Oh, leave Clover alone you guys. After Salt masturbating in here ALL DAY yesterday, I think Clover's entitled to date herself. Maybe dinner and a movie? 8-)
i see it.
I think this is a list of possible gifts for someone's parent(s). The back scratcher and wig would be gag gifts to be placed with the real gift of a soundtrack, a picture of their favorite child (or maybe all of them) and a gift certificae to their favorite resturant. And the diet coke is probablly just a "while at wal-mart I need more diet coke."
Spam protection question: "jack and jill went up the???"
Well Jack and Jill went up the hill,
they each had a quarter,
Jill came down with fifty cents,
think they went for water?
Were ya able to fit all that in the lil box, Whiskey? 8-)
Just so you know "hot mom," Norma Jean is a real name. Marylin Monroe's real name was Norma Jean Baker Dohrety.
get the movie, clove, we'll date each other. lol
Jack and Jill went up the hill
to fetch a pail of water.
Jill forgot to take her pill,
and now she's got a daughter!
Sorry to rain on your parade, but I think it is for somebody that's sick or in the hospital. My cousin fell off a roof a few weeks ago and broke a bunch of bones, and he uses a back scratcher to get inside the casts and bandages. If they had to do brain surgery too, they would have had to shave the person's head: there's the toupee.
I know smarty pants, thats why I think that she made it up. Oh, I forgot, hot mom is Chers real name. Her name is hot mom Savillagio Bono.
Wow. The air is so much clearer in here today. It's nice. What's different? Hmmmm...Oh...no all-cap postings.
Jack and Jill
went up the hill
to have a little fun
stupid Jill forgot her pill
now the have a son.
Those crazy kids!
Hotmom, you're WAK! You too terrie-is-so.
Ahh, yes, Jay, it's all making sense: Lobotomy. But why not a hat? or a scarf?Wigs are itchy and usually conspicuous.
I don't think liking The Gap Band makes me WAK Norma Jean. But ok ;)
I've heard of Chipotle, but Qboda? How do you even pronounce that???
This seems to me like a smart teenage girl's list of gifts for her boyfriend. The toupee and Diet Coke are probably inside jokes, they probably watched Love Actually together, and they probably eat at that restaurant. Or maybe they just eat a lot of burritos. Also, calling the framed picture "obligatory" but giving it anyway just sounds very...teenagery to me.
I think it is supposed to be "Adobo" not Odobo or Qdobo.
The whole "toupee" thing is a glaring red flag for me! I wonder if she knows he wears one? If so, has she EVER seen him without it? That could be a deal breaker!

It sounds like a list that someone would make for what to get my friend for her birthday. She loves Love Actually, thinks Diet Coke with Lime is the "nectar of the gods" and is really into pictures or herself and friends. It could just be a roommate wanting to get the perfect gift. (i.e. you don't have to read anything sexual into it)
My lord, this is the best shopping list ever. I love how resigned they are about the obligatory picture, and the whatever of "big thing" of coke with lime.
I'm going to go to wal-mart and try and get these exact same things...
Chipotle, hands down.

I'd be willing to be that the "get well" missing from THIS find is due to the fact that the WRONG Find was posted with this Finder's Blurb on Sept 1, 2007.
This has to be a mispost because there is no Chipotle in Cookeville or a q-whatever.
I agree with confussed in new york. where is this here "get well" in this at all? and this made me giggle. People who make shopping lists amuse me anyways.
sounds like a romantic evening to me...
