Don't Touch the Saw
FOUND by Kate Dempsey
in Austin, Texas
I found this Post-it on the side walk at the University of Texas. No sign of a saw.

From now on I am not touching any saws.
They might be in a complicated compound angle.
I totally understand this request. Many a time in shop class in high school did someone come by and screw up my equipment that I had gingerly set up and set aside while I walked five feet away to do some minor thing. I HATE IT when I have something set perfectly and then someone comes by and tweaks it. Cause odds are, you don't notice and then everything you cut from there on out is screwed up.
Love the way it's phrased.
...and don't mess with the hammer, either!
ahhh..complicated compound angle thing..totally understand, carpenter guy. I'd hate to mess with your mitre.
ok..hold the phone.. . does that 'wens' mean Wednesday????? sheesh.
It's funny because the author of the note seems to really know his/her stuff... but then calls it a "compoud angle THING". haha!
@ Mona ... Yeah, that's what it means.
And, by the way, the saw wasn't there because it was moved on "Thru."
Fortunately, I wouldn't know how to adjust the saw if my life depended on it. So you're ok.
I want to get a complicated compound angle thing going with someone.
Takers?
Me and Missus missus Jones, missus Jones, missus Jones...we got a thing goin' on...
Thanks, Liberrian.
Last summer, I had a complicated compound angle thing removed from my neck.
You can hardly see the scar.
Texas? Saw? I never knew Leatherface was so meticulous about the angle...
Curious in Charlotte: TCM: The Beginning opened on October 6, 2006, a Friday. This note was written five days later, on the Wednesday.
Is this creeping me out?
Not really, but I'll have to study the numerology of the post-it now.
If it were moved on Thru it woulda still been there on Wens... so, it must have moved on Twus.
I've completed the numerology study and can report that the "saw" is the movie; the angle has to do with where the two ("compound") projectors were placed. This was the preparation for the special unofficial 3-D TCM: The Beginning showing in selected theaters in Texas.
I can sleep again.
Too bad this warning wasn't written in Braille.
("I see", said the blind man, as he took his hammer and saw.)
@Mona Lisa, your very wellcome!
Saw looks weird. Is it really saw? Maybe the complicated angle thing be going on with a sau or a sar or...Sam (the 'w' could be an 'm')
Some body at found must have gone to UT.
I totally get this note. It rings of a theatrical scene shop where perhaps lots of 'compound angles' might have to be made over the course of a day or so and well....been there, done that and I KNOW how they can get when you mess with their saws, angles and things!
Same goes for hammers, wrenches and don't ever EVER touch their skrims!
And to think that all that had to be done to avert the Texas Chain Saw Massacre would have been a little change on the angle adjustment...
But this find is sooo old! What good is it now? They can't STIHL (get it?) be having that compound angle thing going on after a year and a half can they?
If so I would call it a confounding angle.
ohgod..puckhog...that's bad... really bad.
Hexagon: I heard you're back together with Square?
Triangle: Yeah, we've really got a complicated angle thing going on.
Hexagon: Sounds kinky.
Triangle: Yeah, my saw's going to need an adjustment soon, if we don't stop!
Maybe they were watching the movie Saw......
Obviously, someone took the Rard from the saw...Rards consist entirely of complicated angles...I've heard there's a Rard Sale in progress--wouldn't it be funny if the author of the "saw" note had to buy back his own Rard...eek! another thought...maybe it's the guy from the movie Saw...creepy...it makes sense because the movie was shot all in complicated angles.
Food for thought...no pun intended.
Not normally the words I hear after "ohgod" but you're right Mona.
hmm.. If he can't even get the abbreviation right for "wednesday", I somehow doubt that complicated compound angle thing he had going on would be correct anyway. Feel free to touch the saw people. Just dont leave fingerprints. :]
It was written on "wens"
