Chubby?
FOUND by Danielle in Tempe, Arizona
One of the leaves scattered on our table outside ASU's Hayden Library was not like the others...

That's odd. I didn't think leaves had bones.

i've got one hand in my pocket
A wyymmyynn's group on campus was holding its first support group be-in on the grassy knoll outside the ASU Hayden Library one fall. Chapter presidentrix suggested they each take a leaf that had fallen onto the ground and write something deep and emotionally significant on it in order to cleanse their psyches and let the emotion go. One of the more zaftig sisters wrote this on her leaf.

I love this. So simple, yet so bizarre.

And how very witty of you, Lance.

That's my school! Seriously find some hilarious stuff there. Hm, last thing I knew going on on Hayden lawn was a Relay for Life meeting...big boned cancer patient?

I, too, am big-boned. But it's impolite to brag. I generally don't discuss it, but I find this leaf find strangely liberating.

Size doesn't matter. Really.

Is that a banana in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

Oh... You're big boned.

I get the big-boned part, but what about the "NO"? Is this person denying something someone else said to them, or something they were thinking?

OK, that looks like a cherry tree leaf. Cherry trees are really slender. So, TREES are now suffering from eating disorders.... The effects of Global Warming are getting weird.

Lost in the seventies at a Women's Group Meeting...On Campus Somewhere
I like the picture that "I've Got One Hand In My Pocket" painted with his/her comment ! LOL .

I forgot that people write on things other than papaer ! Great find.

spider in the web
I like the very emphatic 'NO!' I could just imagine two leaves talking to each other, getting very het up...

My spam q is 'what is 45 divided by 3?' Erm, EXCUSE ME, I am an english freak. Don't insult me with your stupid maths crap.

I think the "No" is the "No of Cultural Resistance."

As in, I refuse to assimilate into this skinny junk society. I do not see myself as fat, just because you love skeletal glamour, and rib cages, and pop culture. In fact, NO!, I'm not fat; you're crazy with your idoltry of anorexic celebrities and drunk girls who don't eat for weeks on end.

I'm not fat. No. I'm big boned!

Agent Ling Hi in the Orient Express
Writer Rejected, you are correct, but the note writer would have needed a Sycamore leaf to write all that.

Did you hear about the blonde that died raking leaves?


+ February 17, 2008 11:20 AM +
Lady Brandy in New Bedford, MA
She fell out of the tree and broke her leg, Ghost. LOL Forgot about that one.
+ February 17, 2008 01:05 PM +
Em in CA
As a blonde, I take offense to that.

We usually just get others to rake them for us. Hehe.

All Natural At ASU
I feel such a tighter connection to the materials found on MY campus. It's almost as good as seeing your own note posted (don't read into this... it's not mine).
+ February 17, 2008 04:42 PM +
am I suspended in Gaffa?
She died of a broken leg? and is it definitely a 'No', rather than 'Ho'?

(Spam protection: What is the opposite of bad?)

Midlife Crisis in California

When Paul Hewson was mistakenly asked if he was "little Sting," he responded with this message on a leaf.

Agent Ling Hi: most certainly sycamore, those are the most activist of trees. Also, why do blonde jokes ALWAYS make me laugh? My mother-in-law is blonde, so I always picture her. In this case, raking leaves in a tree. It's just funny.

Wow, I definitely read that as "No. I'm Big BIRD" first, and then Danielle's comment about one of the leaves not being like the others was so perfect! Oh Sesame Street... but then, I realized, I am an idiot.

Crisis, you've got me googling on a Sunday.

It sure wasn't Sonny's leaf.

why do people think that big bonededness does not exist?
i know my bones are alot bigger than the tiny korean children running in circles around me right now.

(what the hell is 454 divided by 2?)

Hahahaha. I love what you read, rainy day!!you're not an idiot, NO, you're a creative reader.
Cos I thought it said "NO! I'm BIG BOND" and thought the leaves were playing some sort of pretend game with two James Bonds, big and little.

spam q: 454/2? WHY?
+ February 17, 2008 11:45 PM +
Jonathan too in my office (sshhh!)
So there must be another leaf nearby that says 'You're FAT!'

You mean we have to stop and read all the leaves on the trees now, as well as the random bits of paper lying in the gutter? *sigh*

I love this FIND. One year, for Thanksgiving, my sisters and I came up with a fantastic idea to collect leaves (along with pine-cones, acorns, and more leaves!) to use as name tags so our guests knew where they'd be seated!

Looked amazing with the other leaves under the glass top of the Dining Table, too!!

I am so excited to see that there are more people from ASU who love this site as much as I do. By the way I love your definition of zaftig.

Okay, i tried to resist but I just...can't...stop...leaf me alone, i'm big boned.

sigh. just shoot me.

Violence won't be necessary. Just make like a tree and "leave".

Look at all of the Sun Devils on this board! I was also really excited to see something from ASU, but I didn't realize there were so many of us here.

And yet... Found went to Tucson instead of Tempe.

I was excited to see this and then even more excited to see everyone from Tempe.

Seriously, apparently nobody watches South Park! This is a Cartman line: "I'm not fat; I'm big-boned"

Okay I'm sure people knew this by now after so many comments, but as a fan of the show, I just had to :)
