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 go there! Whee! The MUNUC people are a really mixed bunch; I wonder who they could be...?
Made me think of Romper Room.
and that's how we'll solve the worlds problems! International Hacky Sack! no joke. I think it could work. (as long as no one acctually discusses anything, seriously Canada, what the hell was up with that?)
i like the word caucus. i will try to use it in everyday language more...
We've all done splendidly! We must ALL have prizes!!!
Do people use their country names instead of their real names there?
there is a model UN EVERYWHERE.. its almost scary
Sounds like Canada was just waiting for Mexico to make a move, and they could caucus all night long...? Hmm. I hate being caught in the middle.
Smells like NAFTA in here.
wow so the guys supposed to be in caucus atually were doing just that? I am presuming that this set up if a model for future plolitician - then Canada wins hands down!
oops sorry for the spelling!
I'm not familiar with the term 'caucus'. What does it mean?
it's the meeting of members of a political party to nominate candidates, discuss and decide on policy, etc. (putting the dictioary def in my own words, just like Mrs. Mitchell taught me to do)
or more informally, just a meeting of a group of people to discuss things, hammer out details of a project, whatever.
Wow, I never did MUN, but I was deeply into Youth in Government back in high school (YIG is a program run in many states by the YMCA, where delegates from across the state come together in state capitols for a mock state government). I probably still have a few similar page notes folded into old bill books somewhere. Good times.
I always thought Lewis Carroll had invented the word 'caucus' -- thanks, Alice -- but I see it is a genuine US word -- perhaps from Algonquin word for 'elder', it says here.
Otherwise I don't understand a word of this Find. Must have woken up on the wrong planet this grey Monday morning.
Our future President. One day he'll be passing notes like " Feller, I went into politics and they were achtully politicking! "
It was either South Park or the Simpson’s, I can't remember, but in some episode the Canadians called us (Americans) Mexico touches.
I have a Mexican friend I'de like to touch.
I remember MUN - I was Israel and I had such a crush on the PLO....
It was totally the Simpsons; Homer and Marge go over the (Niagra) falls, and American and Candian rescue forces are bickering over who gets to rescue poor Marge and Homer, when the Canadian yells "Take off, you dirty Mexico touchers!" Classic.
I was in the MUN too - don't remember much except that I loved it.
Ha ha Maybe it's because we were in that causcus room too!
Humph....figures.
LOL, Alice! That is perfect.
What is the word after "waiting"?
i wonder if it was a raucous caucus??
Hey, Italy, did you know Mexico and Canada?
I remember it as "Shatner-stealing Mexico-touchers".
love you, pepper.
I wonder how much weed they smoke during these caucuses? Dude...Mexico's got the best shit.
It looks like Mexico crossed out 'the skanks' to replace it with 'you guys'. Maybe he realised that's no way to bring about world peace...
it was "Shatner-stealing Mexico-touchers"
yeah, we're still not over that. He's ours, dammit.
Plastic dude, I say CANADA has the best shit.
Wow, using different country's for names its almost like some kinda code. Maybe "play" means smoking weed and Canada didn't show up with the shit. I know there is no way in hell i would name my kids "Canada" or "Mexico".
I wonder if any school has a Model John Birch Society, which, not able to afford billboards, scribbles "Get U.S. out of the Model U.N.!" on bathroom walls throughout America.
Seriously though, it appears that the kids in Model U.N. have chilled since my high school days, X years ago. My school had a similar program that drew some of the most argumentative and self-important kids imaginable. Ours was called "Mock U.N." and mock, we did.
Sorry Plastic, Pepper's right. Canada is better.
And this find is just unintelligible. What's up with that? Maybe I need more coffee.
Caucus Caucus Caucus Wooooo! I want to Caucus!! Who wants to come Caucus with me?? :D
i love that canada was surprised at mexico's drive to "actually" caucus. it was a model UN conference after all.
I will come caucus with you UtahChick, it sounds like fun. I want to hang out with the Congressional Black Caucus, They know how to get things done. As far as this MUN business, I don't see why Mexico was so surprised that Canada was actually doing what they were supposed to. I like the word 'Play'. If only that term were used more in real world politics. The world would be a more peacful place. 'Hey Mexico and Canada, let's go out and play'. I hope Mexico was not too upset about being excluded from all the caucusing fun.
I LOVE THE SIMPSONS!!!! Classic classic!! LOL Love it!!
Yay!! Sean come caucus :D lol. I think Mexico always feel kind of left out :( Awww poor Mexico.... Here Mexico have some tequila it will make you feel better :D
Mexico isn't left out. Mexico has Herve.
Um, I don't see any mention of hacky-sack anywhere in the note.
Guess what? "Politicking" is actually a word.
I thought it was kind of nice for Canada to wait. Now come, Mexico. Canada has been holding back, all huffing and puffing, for a good 15 minutes waiting for you to do your thing. Rock that caucus!
How do we know it's hacky-sack? I would like to think it was a dual-player game on the PSP.
I think Canada said: I was writing won just come
Does one win a caucus?
Because of the letter combinations in the two far-right words on the letterhead, at first glance I thought it said "Model United Nachos."
While I do think that my interpretation would make for an excellent festival, it also seems that it would give Mexico an unfair advantage.
Yes, but everyone benefits from Mexico's advantage, so it's win-win.
How's your noggin, Flargy?
Flargy... i hope that's not a symptom of your brain transplant going wrong... no, never mind, i'm sure its not...
any double vision? numbness? tingling?...
(looking back, i see what you mean)
I'm with you Tempest, what does hacky-sack have to do with caucus?
Help! mona's trying to kill me with kindness.
I dont know about you, but when I caucus I WIN! :D

Maybe if we all put the love out there ,Pepper will finally go away.
You know what's ironic is if you met me you would really like me. No really, you would be suprised. I'm just stir shit on here because I'm bored. Thanks Tough loving skills anyway, I probably needed the kick in the ass. (even though I know you are really mona lisa.)
it's spelt NIAGARA Falls, not spelt like Viagra. The Falls go down, not up lol
Pepper you read it wrong, it's Tough Loving Kills. You can be a shit stirrer ,or stupid ,or funny or smart,you can be a dude or a woman or a kid or anything you got in your spice cabinet and nobody really gives a shit becuase your the imposter. If your bored , get a hobby. If you like Found then show your cool side and quit putting furr burgers in other peoples mouths!
Is Salt dead?
No just banned for life. Is life so much more peacful and fun here without an antagonist to shake things up. Of course now we have Mona, with her hairy hamburger rhetoric.
Sean S. don't be an idiot.
Okay Sean S. I confess, I'm the mona imposter who keeps posting I love furr burgers. I'll have to quit now, but it was fun while it lasted. She is so easy.
Thank you Pepper.
Not a big deal, we always knew it was me anyway.
Yes we did. And it is a HUGE deal.And everyone here will apprecaite you stopping that game.
I LOOOOOOVE FURR BURGERS!!! lol j/k Ok i'm done :D
United Nachos of the University of Chicanos. It is not pc, but that's what I first saw. but I don't have blurry vision or numbness.
I'm doing the happy dance that salt is gone, and if pepper goes too I'll dance a whole extra day. then I suppose it'll be paprika or maybe even Mrs Dash stirring it up.
I love you too, UtahChick. Did you Check out ttp://www.foundmagazine.com/comments/186?
Another confession, I've even impostered James @ FOUND. (He knows it)
Really though, is SALT dead? Because it's not like him to ignore us for so long. However, he might be posting under another handle. SALT, are you out there? Pretty ironic that I'm asking considering I and many others find you so obnoxious and pretentious. (and yall thought I was going to mind my manners.)
I was kind of wondering about HOTMOM where is she at I liked poking fun at her ummmmm well stupidity I think is the best word of it lol :D
Yeah I miss her too, however, sometimes I was her too. The list keeps growing.
LOL! Well If there are any strange posts from me.... it was ------> Pepper!!! lol jk
It will now.
You're funny, do a happy dance, cause sometimes I'm SALT as well.
*Does a happy dance on the table* W00T!! lol :P
Sorry :( It was just too tempting :D lol
OMG! UtahChick you're funny! By the way sometimes I'm Clover, Turbo, Midlife, Tucker, Herve, Norma Jean and Sean S., hell nobody is immune. I purposely make really lame and misspelled or grammatically incorrect post just for fun, however, as you well know, sometimes I myself or the others are impostered (is that a word?) and it not me. That always impresses me, just as you just did. So from now on, don’t always assume it’s me. There are others (even better) imposters out there. (Even James or Mona could be one)
The gig is up.
Ok well I'm an headed home from work and done being bored YAY!!!! It was fun! :D
Oh yeah, one more thing, nice find lol
Midlife, you made it worth hanging on till the end of the comments! Thanks for another brilliant anagram. (I haven't composed my Bronco Sonatas yet though.)
Guess you already know you are Lice Rid If Miss...
Thanks, Alai -- glad it wasn't just me. Phew.
Hey Pepper, you can call Mona lots of things but I don't think 'easy' is one of them.
Ain't no messin with that cool gal and her cryptic smile.
(Editor: That's enough messages. And it's past your bedtime again.)
Oh all right.
Goodnight all.
Sorry John, I beg to differ.
Tempest? Pepper? did you find the hacky sack reference? It's not in the note, but the submitter, (who was Italy) mentioned it. So Italy must have been there, either participating in or watching the hacky action in one of the caucus rooms. (?) Canada WAS "waiting.. now just come." (and play hacky sack? Like Mexico came to do in the first place?) It's cornfusing.
What I'm wondering is if there was some sort of "government in action" sort of gathering at the Model UN at the University of Chicago, and high school students from all over the country (the world?) participated? After which, Ana (Italy) returned home to Neenah Wisconsin (or an equally wonderful spot on the map) with this found note still being used as a book mark in her fave book.
which reminds me, a question for Find submitters and/or the Found Guys: do submitters send in the original find, or scan and send a copy?
Norma Jean, I dunno know if SALT is "dead", but he's a jerk, and Sean's right.. it's awfully nice without the SALT vibe in here.
Interesting find.
Lice Rid If Miss... What?!!!?!
Chrome toaster, I have to agree about SALT, however, aren't you a friend on his myspace page? I think you are the real Salt. As Pepper says "I'm on to you” Don’t worry I'm the real Norma Jean, not the imposter, Pepper. Thanks, now I see the hacky-sack reference.
It's been my experience to scan the find and send it in, but that was six months ago and I haven't seen it yet. I have seen that stupid student exam find that was a hoax that got past James. Man, that had everyone in an uproar.
Norma, Salt deleted his myspace. Before he did, I was, indeed, on his friends list.
And not that I feel I need to "defend" myself on here from unwarranted attacks or accusations, (because it is generally my policy to never respond to anything personal here, since it's not the time or the place.)I feel compelled to set the record straight. I am definitely NOT Salt, nor have I ever tried or wanted to crawl into his creepy, scaly skin and imposter him. He definitely had his entertaining quirks, and a couple of postitive traits, but the anger, bitterness and just plain hatred of everything and everyone pretty much killed any entertainment factor. I have posted here under a number of names. None of them have been any sort of condiment or seasoning.
Holly, the lice thing you were questioning is an anagram of Midlife Crisis, I think.
(I know. I was just being silly.)
How very High School.
Nightingale, my noggin is doing well, thanks. So far so good. I got the staples out last week and I've got a bad-ass scar to tell stories about now.
Mona, if it had been a result of my brain transplant, I would have just choked on the nachos instead of talking about them. That's what people with defective baboon brains do - choke on simple snack foods. You know, like nachos and PRETZELS.
Chrome Toaster, in response to this "Norma, Salt deleted his myspace. Before he did, I was, indeed, on his friends list." I have to ask, if you have such disdain for him why were you on his friends list? Entertaining quirks sure, but it seems they were shadowed by negativity, which you so eloquently pointed out. So again, why did go there? Did you figure out his assholeness (I made up that word) after you became his friend and communicated on a more intimate level? I don't mean pry (well actually I do, sorry), but you've opened the door and I'm curious. I’ve never been that fond of him, but mostly because he seemed to try to hard. He was like the guy who picked the opposing team to root for just to be ornery. I never really believed he was really racist or sexist, just a shit stirrer. There seems to be a lot that going on here. I've even been known to participate, but only to rile Salt up. It did however get old.
Whats it to you NJ? Get a friggin life.
I have to say, this find made me laugh. I kind of wanted to be in Model UN, but all the kids I knew on it were full of themselves and I thought they were dumb. But yeah - pot smoking, self-important hackey-sackers. all of them! at least the ones in my Utah high school who were just liberal to be different to the conservative norm. All the more power to them, but I disliked their politicking. This takes me back! And it makes me laugh!
The correct spelling would be 'impostor', but since someone who submits a post would be 'poster' then it's quite appropriate that someone who submits a post under someone else's name would be an 'imposter'. I'll watch the Oxford English Dictionary to see if FOUND has actually managed to change the English language!
Re SALT and MySpace: I think the thought was that there might be a really interesting and fun guy in there, once you got past the deliberately outrageous persona. But no one ever did (unless that lower-case 'confession' a while back really *was* him).
PS -- SALT's lower-case post was on August 16: http://www.foundmagazine.com/comments/1364
Only The Guys Who Know will know whether or not that was the real SALT, and they ain't telling.
As far as I know, I have never been "impostered". Pepper be tryin' to take my credit where no credit be due. And please don't start now. Kisses!
MUNUC was an interesting time
did you play hacky sack, Guatemala? All of my hacky sacks were made in Guatemala, I think.
Ah, what a fun surprise. I was a delegate to MUNUC as a high school student, and then helped run it as an undergrad at Univ. of Chicago. How I miss it.
Those are great notepads, too! I wish I still had some.
Good God, this is hilarious. I did Model UN in college and the kids who caucused were seen as so lame...not that I even partied or did anything fun, I'd just go to my hotel room and take a nap for an hour at a time.
Dude, MUN was the best.
This conference was amazing, too. :]
If it was found recently, I wouldn't be surprised if it was from last year.
SOCHUM was so funn.
