Creepy Like That
FOUND by Carol
in Rural Wisconsin
Last week, as I was driving home from work, I noticed a white bag under my windshield wiper blade. I get close to my house and have to wait at the train crossing. I check inside the bag and find this note and a snack bag of chocolate covered Door County cherry raisins, and a plain snack bag of cherry raisins.

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...
You'd better have contacted them.
That's so cool.
No, seriously.
Strangers have the BEST candy!
I'm wondering what Carol's bumper sticker says that would lead a stranger to conclude that she is "kind and sensible", inducing him/her to leave her the candy and note.
Am I the only one who finds this mildly creepy?
I'm all for the sentiment, but what on earth can you possibly have displayed via bumper sticker that could motivate someone to walk into a store, pick out chocolate- cherry- themed candy, return to your car, and THEN still be worked up enough to pen an explanatory note?
If you have written the next great American novel in bumper sticker text across the back of your car, i think i speak for all Found fans when say we need polaroids.
If this happened to me, I'd never be sad again.
No, not creepy at all. The person said right in the note it's nothing creepy like that. Duh.
I think it's cute! Creepy or not, I like random acts of kindness.
How could the finder not tell us what the bumper stickers are??? Argh.
Did you eat them?
Are you still alive?
I want to know the contents of said bumper stickers!!! Please indulge.
I find it strange that it starts out "to whom it may concern".. I don't know why, it just seems too generic.
I really wanna know what those bumper stickers said, too. (clinton gore? lick bush? love animals, don't eat 'em? I brake for UFOs? please enlighten us!)
Oh that's really incredible!
I just got a nice post-it once back in the early 90's...but NO snack, and NO real note.
That is special.
I want to know what Carol's bumper stickers said.
PLEASE tell us what the bumper stickers said?
What should they write instead of "To Whom it may concern"? "Yoo-Hoo!"? or "Hey dude!"? or "Hello Friend!"?
I want an "I brake for UFO's" bumper sticker!
It ain't creepy at all. I wonder if the world would be a nicer place if there were nicer people. Yes, yes indeed.
To many quotation marks here and Chewbacca is growling.
sigh.. did she not think we'd beg to know what the bumper sticker said? sheesh.
I think this is the point where we're all supposed to quote out favorite bumper stickers:
"Eat a Beaver, Save a Tree!"
where i live, if you don't lock your car, people stick bags of tomatoes in your front seat.
My bumper sticker says...."Short people rock!"
THE POINT IS THAT THERE'S A GUY OUT THERE THAT JUDGES PEOPLE BASED ON THEIR BUMPER STICKERS RATHER THAN THEIR PHYSICAL APPEARANCE OR MENTAL CAPACITY. THIS GUY IS NOT UNLIKE THE GUY THAT VIEWS MYSPACE PROFILES AND JUDGES PEOPLE BASED ON THEIR EXTENSIVE AND ALPHABETIZED LIST OF MUSICIANS, MOVIES, AND JPEGS. THESE GUYS BOTH ENJOY READING REGURGITATED WITTICISMS, WHETHER IT BE ON A 9" BY 3" RECTANGLE OR UNDER SOMEONE'S 'ABOUT ME' SECTION.
PS-MINE SAYS 'FLAC.' IF ANYONE ON THE ROAD GETS THAT THEY'RE A FUCKING NERD ANYWAY AND I DON'T WANT THEM LEAVING ME HOOK-UP INQUIRIES
Wait, he/she did not notice the white bag with candy and note until "driving" home. How was it not seen when walking up to the car. What did those bumper stickers say. I hope they weren't pro-life stickers, no one should be rewarded for that.
Once, I ordered a textbook from half.com, and when I got the book in the mail, there was a 10 dollar bill inside the cover with a note that said "I see you're a bobcat, just like I was. I can't charge you full price, just promise to spend this on a cheeseburger and a beer at the Pub".
Randon acts of kindness are awesome. I will never forget that guy, he made my day.
It was the "Mean People Suck" bumper sticker.Cherry raisins!Yum. At least it wasn't dates.
I can't help wondering if the bumper stickers in question were somehow cherry-related.
I have had impulses like this but never followed through. I used to park next to a car that had "The last time people listened to a bush, they wandered in the desert for 40 years" and I always wanted to find and hug that person. Maybe now I will!
In my personal land of suburbia hell it is popular to put your kids names on the back of your minivan with a soccer ball or football. I chose to abstain. I am angry with Carol. She only gave us part of the story.
This reminds me of the "Post secret" that said something like I allow people to merge based on their bumper stickers.
I got a note once from someone who loved the fact that I had Harry Potter themed bumper stickers... but not like 'I love HP' or something, I have the slytherin stickers plastered on my car... which is supposedly the 'bad' house.
I love my stickers, but I usually get a lot of flak from them.
my neighbor gave me a dirty look for my 'my other car is a broom' sticker
but to each his own
Norma Jean, I was also wondering why it took Carol so long to notice the bag. At first I thought she was in a hurry when she got to her car, hastily removed the bag and drove with it in the front seat, running stop signs and red lights, until she HAD to stop to wait for a train. Then she opened the bag.
I was thinking, that is so dangerous! Has she never heard the warning about abandoned packages in public places? It could have been a bomb!
It's dangerous to eat candy from strangers, but even more dangerous to carry around packages given to one by strangers, if one does not know what is inside. They always warn you about that at airports. That's how I know.
"Where are we going in this hand basket anyway?"
That is my all-time favorite bumper sticker.
My sister once came out of the mall to find a note on her windshield that said "The girl in the white pants has the nicest ass I have ever seen."
Oh, and she was wearing white pants. ;-)
There is nothing like an unsolicited compliment from a stranger, be it for appearance, attitude or beliefs. It is pretty much the best thing ever. The nicest compliment I ever got was a woman in my store told me she only shops there because I have the most pleasant demeaner of any sales associate she has ever met. I still get happy thinking about that.
I agree with PastelNija--creepy-- The fact that the writer knows that leaving a message is creepy makes it even creepier.
My favorite bumper sticker "my kid got your honor student pregnant"
MJ maybe your neighbors are giving you dirty looks because of something else. Maybe it's because you don't close your shades or something.
I, personally, hate all bumper stickers, patches and pins. I don't care if your child is an honor student, I don't care who you vote for, and I certainly don't care if you love Jesus.
The joke ones are the worst. Keep honking, I'm reloading! If you can read this, you're too close! Shut up and drive!
Let me guess. You love Gilmore Girls. You think sushi is totally awesome. You like to tell people about animal rights and you smell like a fart.
And YES as a matter of fact, I'm PMSing. Go away, I hate you.
It's sad that we have become such a paranoid society, that we are startled by a random act of kindness from a stranger. I admire the person who left the note and candy for not being afraid to reach out. There have several times in my life I've wanted to reach out in some way to a stranger, but have let my fear of their reaction stop me.
If you notice, this happened in rural Wisconsin, and she was driving home from her workplace. It seems to me it would be pretty easy to find out who left it, and less likely that someone would be passing on "tainted" candy than in a large Metro area.
But I to will spend my day wondering what the bumper sticker said that provided enough motivation for someone to act on it!
Oh, just try me, PMS. I sympathize. I have had that. It's a bummer. It will pass. Stay off the street and don't commit any crimes. After you turn 51 you will actually miss the mood swings. Really. Take care of yourself today.
"I wish I was the person my dog thinks I am"
is one of the best bumper stickers I've seen.
There's also a cool one I've been seeing recently that spells "COEXIST" in various religious symbols- (the C is the Muslim crescent, the T is a cross.. I can't remember what the others are at the moment.)
someone I know in SLC has one that says "I'm sorry I haven't been to church lately; I've been to busy practicing witchcraft and becoming a lesbian."
I'm also wondering what concert Suzy Q is waiting in line to get tix for.
LOL @ Bored in MN.. that's better than the "my kid bet up your honor student" by far!
Happy Friday, everyone! (yippee!)
Bumper stickers that make statements on political/social issues are for people who want to feel like they're making a difference, but are too lazy to actually do anything for their pet causes.
I'm going to make a batch of those magnetic ribbon things. They're going to say, "Support Magnetic Ribbon Makers." Anybody want to buy one? I assure you all proceeds will go to a good cause.
What a nice little treat. I wonder if the snacks were purchased specifically for the bumper stickered car owner or if the stranger just always has snacks in his possession that he gives out to those he deems kind and sensible. I wonder if he keeps the snacks in the backseat of his car because the trunk is filled with the bodies of other kind and sensible people that used the contact info to get in touch with him...
I had an Aries (K car) that I covered with stickers, mostly the bands I liked, when I was in college. Someone left a note on it one day with an email address and "you rock my world!".
flargy,
I'll take 20. You're right about the political bumper stickers too.
I'm going to go eat a box of cookies now. Thanks for the sympathy, Clover. I'll take your word on missing the mood swings. Funny as the older I get, the more I listen to advice of people older than me. Because I know they are probably right. Still, this sucks.
The creepier part is that Carol didn't have any bumper stickers on her car.....dun dun DUUUNNNNNNNN!
Flargy, that is totally worth my $5. I love it!
I left a note for someone once... she had little figurines cemented on her dashboard, and various happy bumper stickers. It made me happier to see her car, so I wrote and note to say "Thanks!" I didn't leave candy, though...
My bumper stickers:
The only Bush I trust is my own
Marriage = (heart) + (heart)
Rainbow sticker saying "Value all Families,Support All Marriages"

I know no one asked, but I wanted to just try "just try me". I've appreciated being pissed off when I was PMSing. Hope it helps.
i think that the person took the candy from her kid as they were leaving the store. Relax, mona...it's only the internet. My God, you spent a bunch of time picking your other post apart just to prove it wasn't you. Just change your name everytime. You still get your message across, you just don't get the credit.
Flargy, put me down for a couple of those ribbons. I think most of them are lame, but i'd like one like that.
@ Flargy:
But I *am* working to make a difference - AND I have bumper stickers. They're not mutually exclusive. I use them to attract like-minded people - it works!
Having said that, I'll take 5 of your magnetic ribbon things! Hilarious. Post a link soon.
Kate, it's parents like those in your suburbian hell that pedophiles just love. Now they know to look for little Amanda, or Josh at the local soccer field. Kids always love it when you call them by name.
Turbo - you rock! I can always count on you to make me spew my morning Dr Pepper.
My favorite bumper sticker is one I received from an attorney who specializes in DWIs. 'You have the right to remain silent. Please consider it'
So, seriously, what DOES THE BUMPER STICKER SAY??? And did you eat the snacks?
Curious,
Okay, you made me laugh. Thanks. You bumper stickers are alright by me, I have a soft spot in my heart for lesbians. Have a lovely day.
I once found a note under my windshield wipers in which someone was hitting on the (supposed) me based on my bumper stickers. The woman said she'd been to every store in the nearby strip mall trying to figure out whose car it was, to no avail. (Indeed, I live in the adjacent apartments.) Yes, my car actually picks up chicks all on its own.
I called the woman, thanked her for the compliment - she was audibly let down by me being female and not male as she'd hoped - and told her where she could get the same bumper stickers.
For the record, the chick magnets were:
It's Okay, I'm With The Band
I'm Pro-Accordion and I Vote
It's Always Fun and Games Until Someone Loses an Eye - Then, Hey, Free Eyeball!
[Epic Mount]
</car>
"I hate bumper stickers."
I think I might taint a bag of candy and leave it and a nice note on the windshield of the next car I see with bumper stickers I *don't* like.
I used to play accordion, til i hit puberty.
So, the sad thing is, the bumper stickers were Pro Life, but the car was used, and Carol is all about killing the babies, but she just hadn't had time to take the bumper stickers off yet. So of course she didn't contact the creep. He was probably just trying to get her to come to his church.
My favorite bumpersticker right now is "Gas, Grass, or Ass...Nobody Rides for Free." However, I would never put a bumpersticker on my car because I don't like to share parts of myself with total strangers on the road.
Visualize whirled peas.
This (note and candies) is just the sort of thing I would like to do if people didn't find it so weird.
Flargy, I'll take one. My friend used to work at a car wash and would give me stacks of the magnetic ribboins that fell off of people's cars when they went though the wash. (No one ever claimed them, I guess they didn't care THAT much). My friends and I wrote clever and slightly naughty messages on them and then slapped them on random cars with ribbons in parking lots. Sadly, the car washer was fired and thus ended my supply of free ribbons. My favorite was a red and black striped ribbon that said "I support Porn Stars".
Oddly enough, the only bumperstickers I have on my car are "FOUND" and "geek".
I love some of the bumper stickers you all mentioned, but my favorite was "I'm pro-accordion and I vote". It reminds me of growing up in Milwaukee with polka at weddings (hi Rex) and not of the new connotation the accordion has taken on for me since I moved to Texas.
I'm trying to decide if I would have eaten the cherries or not. I'm leaning toward yes. Door County chocolate covered cherry raisins are amazing! But they might be tainted. But they're so good! But they might kill me. Sigh. The daily struggle with food goes on.
I neither have bumper stickers, nor am I trying to improve or change any modern situation for anyone but myself. Is that wrong?
Flargy, I would definitely buy one!
My bumper sticker says
"My parrot is smarter than your honor student"
my brother used to drive a pale pink 67 dodge van. it was a real piece of sh. . . sharp equipment. he had the best sticker:
don't laugh. your daughter's in here.
And hey, quit complaining that she didn't tell us what the stickers said. At least she told us what the "enclosed gift" was! Not knowing that would bother me way more.
curiously strong in the tin said:
I used to play accordion, til i hit puberty.
ROTFLMAO - picturing body parts caught in accordion parts! LOL
Wendy, she should have also told us what kind of car she was driving, what she was wearing, where she worked etc... All this is important to us. The are analitical found posters and we need to know!
Turbo, thanks for the laugh!
Several have hit close to what one of Carol'
s bumper stickers probably says: Practice Random Acts of Kindness and Senseless Acts of Beauty. And the candy was the note-writer's random kindness. I've always liked that thought, but haven't had it on my car. (My version would be "I practice random acts of kindness at random moments for random reasons.)
The Freon Mobile currently sports:
- KNYE 95.1 Things that go Parumph in the Night
- I took the road less traveled now where the hell am I?
- Just making it up as I go along
- The Road Goes On Forever (this is an extra long one that looks like two lane black top) (Yes, Freon is an REK fan)
Oops, it should say. We are the analitcal found posters..
i hate bumper stickers -- especially pithy little sayings. one exception -- Richel -- your brother's would have made me laugh. on that note, i especially hate t-shirts with stupid sayings that anyone over the age of 13 wears. 'look how clever i am based on a t-shirt i bought from bustedtees.com. i couldn't think of a line like this on my own, but you might think i am hilarious and have a biting wit that could impregnate a woman from 20 feet away.'
no, norma jean, it should say, 'we are the analytical found posters...'
Wow, maybe I really will make them, given the response here. I'll let you guys know.
The only bumper stickers I've had in the last 10 years were ""People Suck" (I cut off the "Mean" part), and "Save the Planet - Kill Yourself."
I think those got my message across pretty clearly.
Oh WOW, look at that beautiful girl getting out of her car, how do I approach her? Look at those bumper stickers, Hmm I got an idea. I'll just leave her a note.....and some candy...that should get her attention.
Carol, I hope you didn't call him. He is obviously desperate and a would be stalker. I've been stalked, it is no fun.
I love to drive my dad's car because of his distiguished flying cross license plate. I have never been pulled over yet! (He lives outside of DC.)
wow some intresting comments today...
and to put my two cents in...i think that the most intresting sticker i found was "my honor student put yours in jail"
kinda creepy...
and i'd like some of those ribbons too hurry and post the link :-)
Flargy, while you are at it, can you make me one that says "I Support My Own Body Mass"?
I want a bumper sticker that says, 'People who judge people by their bumper stickers suck.'
Either that or a bunch of incongruent stickers. Like a death metal band sticker and the local gospel radio station sticker.
stop, imposter!
You love it sand and you know it.
That is awesome! Kudos to you, anonymous-note-writing-gift-giver.
SALT, I am continually stunned by your cynicism. And what does "FLAC" mean?
Turbo, you rock! Thanks for making me laugh. I needed that today.
we're all god's children. i want a christian fish with about 7 billion little ones behind it. and then another 5 billion or so dead fish with a cross or flames in them to distinguish which ones made it to heaven and which ones went to hell. rad.
wow! found is on the ball.
I love what, pepper?
Turbo, "I support my own body mass" is a hoot. My uncle used to have two on his Volkswagen THING: one said "Stop staring at my thing" and the other said "Honk If You Love Cacophony".
I know, who cares
"Honk if you ARE Jesus"
YOU HAVE THE INTERNET AT YOUR FINGER TIPS, ALAI. UTILIZE IT
We had one on our toilet that was an advertiement for a lawnmower. It previously read "Grass Master." It was shortened by removing the GR, of course.
A friend had another doctored sticker that should have read "Escape to Wisconsin," though the to had been removed, aptly reading "Escape Wisconsin."
I had a friend who cut up one of those "commit random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty" stickers so it said "Commit Random Senseless Acts". I prefer that one.
Unfortunatly I actually do know people that are summed up by the pithy little sayings on their car.
I had a friend once who used to steal magnetic ribbons off cars. My favorite one was a Pope John Paul ribbon : )
The other day I was home sick watching telemundo and there were these kids outside my apartment taking pictures of the ass of my car! I think it was the "Republicans for Voldemort" sticker that caused it.
Since we are talking about altering stickers, let's talk about the funniest sign altering. There was a company named Bemis who had a lighted sign out front, and someone painted over the bottom part of the B and the other half of the M, and when it came on, it said penis.
that honk if you love jesus comment is not mine.
There was one here in LA for In and Out Burger,(a fast food burger place) where people removed the B and the r in Burger, and it would say "In and Out urge"
and the salt in your wound is not mine either. I'm leaving, so anything else supposedly said by me is not me.
"Ask Me About My Vow of Silence"
"Honk If You Do Everything You're Told To Do"
and, a Humboldt Country favorite:
"Visualize Getting Your Slack Hippie Ass a Job"
Sand - here in Flint MI we have - real names - no sign mistakes - Kuntz Tool & Die and Beecher Meats about a mile from each other.
Bradenton, FL
Retirement community's sign Coral Shores. I removed the C and the S, repeatedly, causing Oral Hores. Finally, they painted the C and the S on, and my fun was over.
Dead End sign... Use a thick sharpie to put an FRI- over the END.
My all time favorite road sign is Slow Children Playing. No alterations needed there. But a nicely drawn in pair of scissors in the child's hand would add a certain something.
Keith Urban and Gary Allan, chrome toaster, I am so white trash. And I was in line from home, gotta love Ticketmaster. And I have kick ass seats. :-)
Oh, and about all of the candy paranoia, experts have actually said that any time there has been a case of tainted candy, a parent or a close friend or relative has actually been proven to be the one who did the tainting. Random acts against children tend to be more of the kidnapping persuasion than poisoning. Granted, this is a different situation than trick or treating, but just a little FYI for those who will be celebrating Halloween with their kids next month.
Oh, and on the "Coexist" bumper stickers and t-shirts, the "x" is the star of David. Neat concept, I guess.
Already on it, SALT. I was hoping for something a little more interesting. Oh well.
I want a zombie bumper sticker.
Around here bumper stickers are not as popular as those little window stickers of the little people that basically let all the kidnappers know the sex of your children and just how many you have.
Well, anyway this find has given me a fabulous idea! Next time I see a car with mommy, daddy, and 12 kids next to them, I'm going to leave a bag of birth control pills and condoms on their car. Ahhh, good deeds, don't they just warm your heart?!
So... i used to work at specncer's gifts, we sold those ribbons, we had some that said "i support support ribbons".. so it's been done, and they're about $4.25. Flargy was ripping you guys off. :)
also, i got really really sick of trying to be funny bumper stickers, i.e. "i'm not as think as you drunk i am" or "support single moms, go to strip clubs"..
i think the one that pregnant honor student one was the best so far.
i just have a couple band stickers. they're pretty neutral i think.
and how f-ed up is not telling us what the bumper sticker said??
HOW ARE AUDIO CODECS not INTERESTING
My favorite bumper sticker is "Life is Short...Break Some Rules"
I try to live by this one!
Alter, keep up the good work! Life needs more reminders of the ridiculous.
This find was cool. I like the one that read "Don't drive faster than your angel can fly". I know. Kinda boring huh?
Did anyone get the feeling that DBL D IN TIGHT BRA was HOTMOM IN YOUR DREAMS, working it under cover. It's so something she would say about herself.
Salt, I utilized it.
FLAC = Free Lossless Audio Codec
Now WTF does that mean?
Who cares ???????
now for a real bumper sticker- lets see who recognizes it:
KSHE95
People have left me notes about it all over the country, no matter where you go there is a fan
To this day it still brings a tear to my porky eye when fans pay homage. Turn it up and tear off the knob.
One of my favorite bumper sticker is:
Jesus is Coming...Look Busy!
I could venture an explanation, but I'm so bored I'm having trouble forming thoughts.
I LOVE bumper stickers, guess that shows deep down I really am white trash!
My bumper sticker says:
DILLIGAFS!
(Do I look like I give a fuck!)
I'm back just to say that because of my appreciation for Found's vigilence in deleting the comments of the asshole who wants to ruin things for everybody, I have just bought two of their books. Even though during a day of EXTREME boredom, I looked at every find on this website. Thanks, Found!
But, really, what's up with the math questions? You're hurting my brain!
Correction:
(Do I look like I give a fuck shithead!)
I once had a bumper sticker that said, "I don't give a FUCK what you think." But, I went to church one night and the little brat kids pulled it off.
The only note that's ever been left on my car gave the description of a car and of the guy who slashed my tires, along with the time the crime was committed.
Wow in wow - I was thinking the same thing. DO NOT EAT THE CANDY!
HEART ATTACKS: God's revenge for eating his animal friends.
That one got pulled right off my car, the day I put it on. Maybe by some fat Baptist who had emergent coronary bypass surgery?
Acronyms are great
I left a note on someone's windshield that said, "I hope you f*ck better than you park."
Rube, your girlfriend left you a message. She said, "I hope you park better than you f*ck."
I have one that says "My other car is a TARDIS". Lots of people have walked up to me and proceeded to grill me about everything Doctor Who related :-) It's hard to find North American fans, and when we find each other there is much excitement.
Ya... I'm a geek.
No problem, pepper. I know you're not witty enough to come up with a better comeback.
Mona, you judgenmental bitch, I think everything was spelled correctly. You want to enlighten me as to what I did to offend your spelling sensibilities?
Mona, it's spelled Be-otch.
i believe that's permission, not permision.
I saw a funny bumper sticker the other day that read;
"If it hadn't been for my Christian youth group, who knows where I would have lost my virginity!"
It made me laugh. More than once. Ahhh, sweet irony.
J, that's kind of sick. It makes me think he lost his virginity to his youth pastor.
Thanks for the find, Carol!
This is a little reminder to please respect other people's screen-handles. It's perfectly fine to post comments using different names, but it would be nice if you chose names that weren't already chosen!
I remember when I was taking out people with bad bumper stickers. hehehehe. That was a trip!
Sorry to the real Mona Lisa, if the above comment wasn't really you. I now believe it may have been the imposter...
It could be worse. If they hadn't lost their virginity in the youth group, it could have happened with one of the 50 or older congregation members!
flargy,
i was in a porn store a few weeks ago and a magnetic ribbon said, "support road head." lol.
Another one, LOL! 50 or older congregation. Too funny! However, lets not get another religious debate going again, it's boring.
Sorry James.
AFLAC!!! AFLAC!!!
could everyone just NOT post in response to the posts you KNOW are going to be deleted? It destroys the continuity. thanks very much.
Todays comments are awesome.
I'm surprised no one has commented on the spelling and grammar of the find. Surprisingly, there are no errors, aside from atrocious handwriting, but you can't expect much from a hastily written note in a parking lot. The author seems to be fairly educated.
of course, the serial killers usually are. 'he was such a nice, quiet, young man...'
I know Dbl D personally and she is NOT HotMom. As for the stalker comment, it was a relly bad thing. The stalker ended up killing her cat. I agree with her, I hope Carol never called him!!!
WHICH ARE THE ONES THAT ARE TO BE DELETED?
Today seemed so benign for an admin to come and lay the smack down! Right on James. I hope it sticks.
He was probably as bored as we are.
But I second that. Right on, man!
I MUST'VE MISSED THAT. I'M NOT SURPRISED. I GENERALLY COME HERE TO COMMENT AND WHEN I RETURN I ONLY RE-READ MY COMMENTS. THEY'RE ALL THAT'S WORTH READING
Well, I guess that explains it then, eh SALT?
ARGH!! I need to know what the damn bumper stickers said!!
Also, Turbo, Richel, and J made me laugh until I snorted Dr.Pepper up my nose, thanks alot guys lol.
And I have three bumper stickers, but they hang inside the door to my computer cabinet, not on my car. They are:
1)WTFWJD,
2)Jesus is my babydaddy, and
3)George Bush killed my dog.
All three make me giggle every time I really stop and look at them. :)
144 commments later and I still want to know what that damned bumper sticker said. Mine is simply, "More Cowbell".
i enjoy reading all of these comments - especially when everyone is being mostly nice - - -
my favorite bumper sticker is "God sees you but he loves you anyway" and i'm not even a religious person. :-)
Beth -- I have the same bumper sticker.
And also --
"I Fight Like A Girl" with a drawing of a clenched fist over the logo of a feminist martial arts dojo.
"Resistance is not futile"
"What if the hokey pokey is really what it's all about"
But what I really want is:
"Come the rapture, can I have your car?"
Carol, if you're out there in Found Mag Land, please take pity on us and for for the Love of Pete tell us what the friggin' bumper sticker was!!!
Stunt girl - best bumper sticker ever!
James @ FOUND, Carol must have left an email address when she submitted this. Please email her and tell her we NEED to know what her bumper stickers say.
The writer says 'keep up the good work,' so maybe it was some sort of charity bumper sticker.
Or it just said, "I am a kind and sensible person."
SALT, be sure to note my intuitive genius in the above post.
I hope you didn't actually eat the goodies.
@Alai, sand, SALT-- I think I took care of the impostor comments quickly. They were pretty benign (and a few were actually kind of great!), but they were under other people's names.
I'll see if I can coax Carol into a little extra info about her bumper stickets!
My sister got an apple with a razor blade in it one year for Halloween. One of our neighbors gave it to her, I'm pretty sure.
I wonder what someone would put in a cherry raisin?
If the bags were sealed, I'd probably eat them.
Thanks James! 'Appreciate it.
Thats it! I'm getting me some bumper stickers!
Thanks, James!
My bumper sticker says, "Stepmothers are wicked cool."
Alai, if someone wanted to, they could still poison food in a sealed bag.
my favorite bumpersticker:
Have you hugged a limnologist today?
also - chocolate cherry raisins? yum
I also have a shirt that says, "World's Best Wife." When my brother saw me wear it, he said, "I see you bought yourself a new shirt." Funny thing was, he was right.
Sand, not without opening the bag somehow - cutting it or injecting poison. They'd have to go through the packaging. Anyway, I meant if it was intact and not tampered with. Cause, come on, it's chocolate raisins! How could you resist?
So you study fresh water? Isn't that what a limnologist is?
inland waters, both fresh and saline. so says wikipedia.
we learn something new every day here in Found Land.
I'm out! Y'all have a good weekend.
so true.
Right back atcha, sand!
Hi James – When you were growing up in NYC or wherever, and your mummy said ‘Well, little Jimmy, what are you going to be when you grow up?’, did you say ‘Well, Mom, when I grow up everyone in the world will be able to talk to everyone else in the world by means of the wireless electric airwaves, and people will sit in front of computers, you know, like those giant things IBM have, and I will spend my days censoring messages from people pretending to be people they aren’t, in a discussion about bumper stickers and chocolate raisins’??
‘Yes dear, very nice, now eat your tea like a good boy.’
Strange thing, life, eh.
The road less travelled...
PS – I REALLY wasn’t going to comment on today or yesterday. But what IS a cherry raisin? Can’t help thinking of chocolate covered rabbit droppings. And yes, I do think this find was creepy.
Have a great weekend everyone. Hasta Luego.
I SEE, JAMES. NICE WORK, superman
DID YOU SIGN ME UP FOR THE FOUND MAGAZINE DOT COM MAILING LIST WITHOUT MY CONSENT?
I had a Plymouth Horizon , the"ri" fell off so it was a ho zon . My bumper sticker said "pace car" .
Thanks James ! Sorry we need a babysitter.
I recently bought a giant peace sign sticker to put on my car as a sort of passive-aggressive way of sniping at my military colleagues. (Yes, I do see the irony here.)
I'm wondering how long it will be before someone tears it off... or before someone leaves confections of questionable provenance
This is to sand in your craw, I find this name incredibly offensive to women. I would appreciate it if you would change it. Thanks for understanding!
Jonathan, you have very creepy ideas about food! You should go back to donkey week.
I believe cherry raisins are dried cherries. Door County, Wisconsin is known for their cherries. It's a beautiful place.
Jesus loves you but the rest of us think you're an asshole.
Three fun bumper stickers not already mentioned:
Who Would Jesus Bomb?
Honk if you love peace and quiet
Visualize using your turn signal
Lovely postings here today - Cheers to all!
There's this eccentric lady in town who drives an old Valiant that has a "kiss my art " bumper sticker.All over the car is glued big doll heads,plastic dinosaurs,horses,and crack ho barbies in stages of undress.The barbies' hairdos are all messed up from the wind.
I have to agree with Dbl D and Dead Headed Princess. This is the beginning of being stalked.
Wow, man. Forty years ago, you'd only have to wonder if they were laced with LSD. The whole "tampering" idea is a real downer. Still, I'd totally eat them.
You would, Doc.
One of my fav. bumper stickers is:
Women fake orgasms because Men fake foreplay
"prisons cause crime" "people before profit"
"fuck work"
i get comments all the time.. apparently the ass of my car causes a great deal of confusion.
the hooters around here is missing some lights.. "Ho ers" and the sign in the bathroom at Borders says "All employees must wash anus" courtesy of clever black markerage.
oh and Beecher meats.. i'm naming a sandwich at my restaurant after that one.
I have a support ribbon that says "i support sex, drugs, and rock and roll!"
And I would not eat the candy, or respond to the letter. I would also have waited till I was far away to check what was under my wiper blade. There is an e-mail about how people leave things on your car and when you get out to remove it before driving away they spring on you and steal your car. No amount of candy is worth that!
There was a Jewel Osco here that had the last e and l burned out for a week they got sued because it said "Jew Osco" for so long.
So... will someone please tell me how "sand in your craw" as a name is offensive to women? I am a woman and find no offense from this name... but then again I thought a craw was a stomach????
I thought yer craw was slang fer yer butt crack. Anyway. Life is too short to be offended.
two I like:
"I know how to change the climate" (to be stuck without permsision on SUVs) and
"If cucumbers could take out the garbage who would need men?"
Country Ovens Chocolate Covered Cherries are the BEST indulgent snack on the planet. That was one classy stalker!
i'd eat the cherries and give the chocolate to one of my sweet tooth friends. But, i'd definitely not contact the pathetic old hippie that left it for me.
my favorite bumper sticker:
I'd rather be walking.
"when jesus said love your enemies, i think he probably meant don't kill them"
"my country invaded iraq and all i got was this expensive gas"
"in order to insure the quality of your Patriotism - your conversation may be Monitored"
(recent faves - to be joined by "carol have mercy")
Thank you, James- you're the best!
My favorite was:
"People are more opposed to fur than leather because it's easier to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs."
Rhino, I wonder where I could find that bumper sticker. That's so true!
would this be better than Sand in your craw? Cuz it means just about the same thing. I think Sand in your Craw just offends you if you have a dirty mind that makes random free mental associations. Just a thought.
I think SALT is so effing sexy
"It will be a great day when schools have all the money they need and the airforce has to hold a bakesale to buy a bomber."
"Feel safer now?"
"My Baby Was Born at Home" TMI, lady, TMI. Please don't tell us you ate the placenta.
Nice people swallow.
I got so sick and tired of the same question over and over again. I could not answer it ONE more feakin' time...so I put the answer on a homemade bumper sticker and there it sits on my bumper: YES! I am a movie star.
I love it when people honk and wave at me and ask to have their pics taken with me!
Also, I think those cherry chocolate raisen thingys are $6 a pound...I think if he wanted to poisen someone he'd just use gummy bears.
James @ Found...Did you ever hear back from Carol??? What did the bumper sticker say???
I just read through all of those comments and I still don't know what her stickers said! Now that's annoying.
Although it was rather informative/funny anyway...
And as for these spam protection questions - what if ur really retarded??
My bumper sticker said "I love chocolate covered Door County cherry raisins."
That seems like something that I would do, minus the note. 'Cause you know how creepy that note was.
"Have I found Jesus... Don't tell me he's lost again."
I've just read through all of these comments and I still don't know what her stickers said! It's annoying, although it was rather informative and funny anyway. [With corrected grammar!]
And as for these spam protection questions - what if ur really retarded??
I once got a note on my car asking me why I didn't love the environment and telling me I was killing Mother Earth
I cant believe I lost the note, I planned to send it in too.
/It was an H2
My favorite bumper stick at this very moment:
"Monica Lewinsky's ex-boyfriends wife for president"
I love the mixture of formality and silliness. And I've never had cherry raisins before, are they good?
