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...
I think he's attractive and I haven't anything to drink. Well that much...
I picture this guy at a club or party with a HUGE stack of these whenever he goes out. I wonder if it works......
sorry, I'm not into redheads, but thanks for the $20
Was it accompanied by a stack of crisp twenties or what? This is funny..
I used to find interesting stuff like this in bar bathrooms, etc.
For the record, in this day and age, I don't think $20 is gonna buy you enough alcohol to make someone ugly look much better. I'm just sayin'.
I saved this...
I might go out and give stacks of these to sad looking men in bars and coffee shops who need 'em.
American Apparel offers more than I ever imagined:

The italics make this personal.
that fellow's got a good game plan. i hope it keeps him *busy* from time to time.
I didn't get $20 at American Apparel and no men came and danced for me. Will the redhead dance for me too? Does the redhead give you $20 for drinks or are you supposed to drink, take the $20 to the redhead? Did the redhead leave them in the men's loo or how did they get there? Is he looking for a woman or a man or just someone to talk to (or just someone who finds him attractive...) Too many questions; too early in the morning...
Is it just me, or does he look a bit like Charlie Sheen?
hey dudley,
i'd be willing to bed that productivity levels will be down today, as a result of that Am.App. link you submitted..:-)
but, oh, the fashion crimes!
Go to church/temple/mosque, join a club, take a class, visit art galleries, sign up for group therapy, learn to dance or do yoga, play volleyball, attend AA, help other people with their computers, ask your friends to hook you up with someone they admire, go to eHarmony.com... ANYTHING but hand out $20 bills and pre-printed flyers hoping to get lucky with someone whose self-esteem is even worse than yours. OTOH, if this is someone's ultimate public expression of profound self-hated, then it scores a perfect 10.
This is pretty funny. And it might work. A little humor, a little humility. This'll be on a t-shirt in no time.

"hey dudley,
i'd be willing to bed"
Hey Sara, I'll be right over!
It looks so clean to have been found in a venue bathroom.
Haha I'm really surprised no one has commented on the band yet. Maybe it's too early. I think he's assuming that by the time the lady is drunk enough to find him attractive, he'll be drunk enough to think the same of her. How sad. Why do people poison their minds and bodies? I've never understood it.
Mel, it's you that looks a bit like Charlie Sheen.
The red dude looks like he's got a cleft palate. But at least the image captured his good side.
Please, oh please tell me that someone'll see this and say HEY THAT'S ME. (or mine) I really want to hear the backstory on this one.
How was the concert, Patrick? "Frenetic" is the first word that popped into my head upon giving that band a listen for the first time (two minutes ago.)
$20 might not buy enough alcohol in a bar, but at the liquor store or in the beer aisle...
damn. i meant BET
to hell with freud.
p.s. i had a super snazzy comment ready to fire back @ you... until i saw that i really did type bed. my bad. anyway, i was concerned about how to recognize you in the crowd, and was wondering if you'd be wearing the high waisted shorts or the unitard.
sorry. goodnight.:-)
@ Desperate Cynic - The thing with going to AA meetings is that the people you meet there are *alcoholics*. Sometimes things are just funny, and aren't symptoms of a deep self-hatred.
Having said that, if someone handed me this card, I would think "Why would I spend time (even a drunken night) with someone who thinks so little of themselves?" So, damn - you're right!
And now I feel the need to say that I don't have drunken nights. I stopped drinking *years* ago - chopstix' comment shocked me. Dang! Back in the day, we just needed a five-spot. And friends with money. heh heh
I totally thought the little bird on the Make Out Club ad was a bug on my monitor. I tried to brush it off. Twice. Didn't notice it disappeared in the margins.
Sometimes $20 isn't enough. :)
Lost, don't you think this guy looks a bit like Bill Murray? But with a different hairline. This red headed guy has a weird hairline. Or maybe i'm just used to guys with higher hairlines.
Where did Found go yesterday? I was panicking!
Anyhow, I am glad to have refound, found.
me too, Tori. I couldnt get it this morning at home, either. Didnt see it till i got to work. Thank god for the government computer.
Sorry about that, people! Three squirrels got into the FOUND server yesterday. They're gone now.
I'm pretty sure I saw this guy at the bar last night. He was a Giants fan.
'HURTING' much???
Is this person for real???
oh cyhsy, i've always wanted to go to one of their shows
$20 is $20- I'd take it, drink with it and conveniently forget the smarmy bastard that thought he was slick enough to pull this off.
I used to have a bunch of silly cards like these handed to me at (whispers) a renaissance fair- they said things like "I would really like to [insert random dirty act] you, but you seem busy at the moment. If you're interested, write your number on this card and I'll call you at a more convenient time" Something like that- and yes of course, my number was always 867-5309
Definite younger Bill Murray vibes here, but with more hair. It's the head tilt.
He does look like Charlie Sheen with a cleft palate. Oops, yesterday I thought I'd been blocked by the found guys from commenting, because a couple of snarky comments I'd made. I'm glad that wasn't it. We can't all be sweet all the time.
Catyia, I'm going to have that song stuck in my head all day now.
Catyia, wow, you seem to really dislike the players at the renaissance fairs. Not a good place to troll for dudes, but to each his/her own. Perhaps it's the low-cut bodice you're wearing with the push up action that brings on the losers with naughty ideas. Try and cover yourself at the next Dorkfest.
I love that his shirt is buttoned ALL the way up! Hahaha! Bless his heart.
$20 is not even close to enough to catch a small buzz!
This thing looks so dated anyways. Is that a sweater over a button-down shirt?
Any dude that needs a card to help pick up chicks is a no-no.
I think he has an overbite. Slightly crooked teeth look good, by the way, as long as they are clean and white. I hate the way that braces have changed everyone's mouth to the same wide broad smile. A little overbite, or the front tooth slightly crossed over, or even a little gap (eg., Lauren Hutton) can be pretty. I was sorry when, after getting braces, my daughter's face shape had been altered because the orthodontist would not pull teeth; instead he spread them out to make room for all of them. That's standard orthodontic practice now. The result is perfectly straight teeth, but it changed her looks a little bit. Don't get me wrong, she's still pretty!
I thought the shadow made his mouth look a little Simpsons-esque. And I was going to say I don't need much liquor in me to just *talk* to someone, until I noticed the way he phrased it - "come to talk to me." This makes me wonder if it someone from somewhere else, just trying to meet anyone. Although where that somewhere would be, that this is acceptable...
Or maybe he's just one of those wild and crazy guys, looking for foxes.
Great SPAM question, BTW - I love finger paints!
i am glad FOUND is ok, but tell me Jason... how are the squirrels??
i'm pretty much in love with this card and all cheesy guy pick up lines:)
Yes, I also think this guy in the pic looks just like Charlie Sheen-no way does it look like Bill Murray.
I see Bill Murray. you see charlie sheen. Its all a matter of interpretation. I think i'd rather sleep with Bill, than Charlie. So, maybe there's some subconscious thing going on. (not that charlie's not good looking, but he's too sleazy)
I freaking love Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! Kudos on you're sweet music taste, Patrick.
And that's a very generous guy. I'm not willing to drop 20 bucks on just any lady at the bar...
To me, he looks like Jack on "Lost", but I have to admit, it's been a Bloody-Mary morning.
Sorry Living- I omitted the part about adding my name as Jenny to avoid that!
Frank- it wasn't so much the renfaire "players" as much as it was the renfaire mutants.
Looks like a young Merv Griffin to me, but he just passed away. I like Charlie Sheen, though. I watch him on that stupid Sit Com that's on every time you turn on the tube. What's that show called again? The one with the chubby kid and the guy who was Ducky from "Sixteen Candles."
Ahhh...cheesy lines...
My top 2 are:
"Mama, you got a hamburger to go with that shake?" which I should think would get you a black eye...
and, the current record holder:
(double take): "You didn't tell me you were beautiful!" Cheesy, yeah...the double take spoils it a bit. It's like "I was expecting a hedgehog."
Writer: That's Two and a Half Men
For my Two Cents, it looks like a young Martin Sheen, which is probably why he looks like Charlie Sheen to all you youngsters.
Why do I always get the math spam questions?
i always thought squirrels were cute. there's a big grey one that teases my dog from the tree in the front yard. I will dislike them, tho, if they continue to wreak havoc in the Found server. (how much does one tip a Found server, btw? is it the customary 15%?)
p.s. the spam protection question is unfair to colour blind people.
If 15% is your customary tip, no wonder the service was so bad.
Baby Basil- 2 of my favorites are:
Did it hurt when you fell out of heaven?
Do you believe in love at first sight, or shall I walk past you again?
He looks like Anthony Clark from "Yes,Dear" and "Last Comic Standing"
the american apparel chick in the skirt and knee highs looks as if she's flirting with the creepy image on this find.
it's weirding me out.
"Found in the First Avenue bathroom at the Clap Your Hands Say Yeah concert."
You would.
I wonder if this isnt a promotional flyer for a bar or something to get people to spend more money on alcohol...
and, to me he looks like a young Frankie Avalon (yah, that's weird, considering he is not of my generation).
Hey other becky you're right... now it's weirding me out... thanks.
$20 won't even get you a warm handshake in most bars. It is only 4 gallons of gas, 4 packs of cigarettes, and a few beers.
frank
Can you get 4 gallons of gas, 4 packs of cigarettes and a few beers for $20 in California? Really?!
say it ain't so, i dont think you can get all of that for 20$. its an either or thing.
o but mona, wouldn't that be wonderful?
Wasn't it
"Beechwood 4-5-7-8-9
you can call me up and have a date
any old time"
?
Anyway, that's the tune that's been playing in my head all day after reading Catyia's reminiscing about renaissance faire romance earlier this morning.
BE4-5789 would be 234-5789 in today's phone number system.
But maybe I'm not remembering the song right, and maybe Catyia was talking about a different song...?
Found it! Sorry Catyia-Jenny. I don't know that song, the one you meant, though.
Wikipedia says:
"Beechwood 4-5789" is a 1962 single released by Motown girl group The Marvelettes on the Tamla label.
Written by Marvin Gaye, William "Mickey" Stevenson and Berry Gordy, the song is basically about the narrator wanting a guy she just met to call her number to "have a good time".
An early Motown signature, the song was led by Marvelettes co-lead singer Gladys Horton, who sung lead on the group's groundbreaking 1961 smash, "Please Mr. Postman". The song reached number seventeen on the pop singles chart almost repeating the success of "Postman".
In 1981, Karen and Richard Carpenter recorded it for their album, "Made in America." They then released it as a single in 1982 and did a music video in a 50's style diner.
The song's title became the most popular phone number in the country until two decades later when Tommy Tutone released "Jenny (867-5309)".
By the mid-1960s, the phase in of all-number calling was rapidly taking hold. Wilson Pickett did a similarly named yet remarkably different song entitled 634-5789 (Soulville, U.S.A.) in early 1966.
Clover, the song is Jenny and I think it was by Tommy Tutone. How's the foot?
It's Miller time, folks! Cheers.
CuriousKat, do us a favor and drink $20. worth of Miller, then take a good look at this guy again and let us know if he gets any better looking. OK?
(I'm serious!) Cheers!
The foot is better, Kat, thanks for asking! It's still really swollen and hurts, but it is looking less dead, and the bruising is going away.
It'll take a lot more than 20$. I'm half Irish and half redneck.
I'd hit it.
Assignment accepted, Agent Ling Hi.
Cheers!
Yep- that not so fabulous one hit wonder by Tommy Tutone-

It's terrible... just like the fashion trend in this video with the bandana thingie around the one guy's neck, the mullets and the cheeseball "plot."
The picture on the card is not the guy who was handing them out.
These cards were distributed by a WOMAN whose ideal hunk is the guy in the picture.
this looks like the same cards.

well there you go. Thanks for that link, Ron Don (anything to do with the Ron & Don Nation?)
This card is on page #3. (some of those cards are hilarious!) "who's your daddy?
No. Really. Who's your biological father?" and "my love for you is like diarrhea: girl, I can't hold it in!"
Who could resit a pickup line like that?
i love clap your hands say yeah! and this find!
I'm gonna say that as part of a geurilla art campaign, he leaves samples of these cards all over Minneapolis, and everywhere else he goes. Good on ya, Robert! That's what I would do too.
Subliminal messaging?
Or...not?
clap your hands say yeah!
this is great!
Hey, I was at the concert and I didn't see that in the girls' bathroom. :(
