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...
*yawn*
And the kick...is...GOOD!
In an effort to save on printing costs, Gideons International has figured a picture really is worth a thousand words.
Somewhere over the rainbow.......... there's a better find.
It's an upside down smiley face!!!
They have rainbows in Asia too? Cool!
hey blue in the bayou,
I yawned too!
*It's a Holiday in Cambodia
Where you'll do what you're told
A Holiday in Cambodia
Where the slums have so much soul*
I saw a rainbow today, and I saw one yesterday, too.
Let's not ignore the deep symbolic meaning here, which is, uh....
Or, well, maybe it's just a rainbow.
I love rainbows!
Not a great find, but I'm not surprised by the asinine responses.
Typical jerkoffs fail to see the coolness of an admittedly mediocre find on what must have been a very cool trip in an interesting country.
What do you expect from people in a country that's quickly coming the world's next theocracy. For all you ignoramuses, that's a government run by officials who are "divinely guided." Think Huckabee. That will put the U.S. in a league with other nutjob countries like North Korea and Iran.
It's truly beautiful. The colours, the contrast between them and the dark sky (rain obviously not over yet!). And those interesting "things"...plant life? Not straight enough to be man made phone poles or whatever...wonder what they are.
Made the morning. A little nature does you good. Thanks for the smile!
I happen to enjoy this find.
What a beautiful rainbow!
Wow, "as predicted, typical" that response was... way out of proportion to the situation at hand. Take some deep breaths.
Night - lol; you're so clever.
This is a great picture; whenever I try to take pictures of rainbows, they never show up. And I wonder about those poles; it's got a sort of "beauty over a barren wasteland" vibe going on. Altough admittedly, I know very little about the ecology of Cambodia, and maybe it's beauty over beauty. Either way, very nice!
I've been really down and out the last couple of days. This lifted me for a moment. Sorry, no stupid or sick funny comments today.
What crawled up your ass today, As predicted? People not responding the way you would is no reason to throw a net-tantrum.
Anyway, this find is right nifty.
As predicted, you are obviously a national treasure wherever you live. Wish you were here.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
Terrie is so very optimistic and I hope she's right.
The things sticking up made me think of chow mein noodle topping. I'm hungry.
Looks like the work of the Rainbow Warriors, stealing all the beautiful branches and leaves from those trees....
Well, at least we're not all wondering which pole is male or female! Or what kind of jeans males and females wear!
Come on...think "GOLD"!
"Predicted" is right. #$%^ Americans think they own the planet.
As for the find, what could be at the base of those poles?
I wish we did think and act like we own the planet, because then we could take some real responsibility and turn the broiler down and take some pride in Mother Earth. Wouldn't that be rainbow refreshing?
"typical stupid American responses" said::
"Typical jerkoffs fail to see the coolness of an admittedly mediocre find on what must have been a very cool trip in an interesting country."
What's a theocracy have to do with the American's comments of an uninteresting picture. The two don't really go hand in hand together.
It's almost as if you used it as an excuse to spout your anti-american sentiment.
Here's a clue, NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR OPINION OF THE US GOVERNMENT HERE AT FOUND.
Go to some government forum if you want to waste your time circle jerking with others around you.
Rinky that's funny! They do look like chow mein noodles, all straightened out.
Some guy - I agree. Weird that a nice picture of a happy rainbow provokes such a heated response. I'm not saying that there's nothing wrong with the US at the mo, just it was said in the wrong time and wrong place.
It looks like the poles are reaching for the rainbow.
Hating on rainbows is like hating on baby penguins.
Some Guy, you got pretty riled up at the anti-government comments, so you must care. Why else get so angry, Mr. ALL CAPS?
What a great find!
Here I was expecting to scroll down and see comments like beautiful and this reminds me of ...Intresting stories of beauty shimmering through greyness ....
The find doesn't let me down so much as comments ...pants are beautiful but a rainbow is yawn ... so it's not facinating i get that the posters make finds truly extra intresting
So here is my rainbow tales and comments to spark imaginations and tempers maybe
First Lets anger some people off with
I miss rainbows years ago everyone could wear them without a sexual label being attached now to even look at one is gay pride all the power to you all but taking all rainbows was kinda mean or maybe it's the general publics fault for calling people gay with such an isultive negative tone ...
Maybe someone should start the Thats so straight ! fad. Things idiotic or ugly are straight now ... Meh
Anywho Rainbow Bright was awesome !
And lastly once when i was little i followed a rainbow to it's end and under the end was a pot of gold ...box of chocolates i always have wondered who left it but it was really neat !
Whatever the vertical posts are, I like looking up them toward the rainbow; the sinous curves make them look like snakes reaching for the sky. I like snakes; it may not be a felicitous comparison for some. Can a snake be "charmed" by a rainbow? It would make more sense than by music, as snakes are deaf...
I wonder what made them leave that photo behind. It was in a drawer so perhaps they meant for someone else to find it.
I think the poles are somehow related to the Rainbow Warriors from a couple days ago...
http://www.foundmagazine.com/find/2235
You know, erecting random poles, almost stealing cars.... sounds like fun to me!
Do you think the Finder should have left it for the next guest to stay in that particular room? Is this a "steal" rather than a Find?
I don't think so. If it was a page from a guestbook-journal, I'd be inclined to agree that Eye Jimlad shouldn't have taken it, but I think this is okay.
I live where there's plenty of rain, but precious few rainbows, so I like this Find. It's a cool ass-rainbow.
I like this picture. It's always nice to FIND rainbows !
What's really funny about that moronic rant is that out of the first eleven comments, seven gave no indication whatsoever as to the geographic location of the writers. Holy assumptions, Batman!
The real ignoramus here is the person judging an entire country's population on the actions of its government. Yes, the U.S. has its fair share of idiots and assholes. And "a different country," wherever that is, has at least one of each.
for some reason it made me think of this line on the back of a postcard...which i find so heartbreaking:
"scenery is here. wish you were beautiful."
Good points, Flargy. And I don't mean to be judgenmental, just wanted to update: the new spelling is "asswhole". 8-)
Flargy! Flargy! Flargy!
Birds fly over the rainbow... why, oh, why can't I?
Baby basil, you said 'felicitous' again!
Terrie-is-so, you stole my comment!! Never mind, enough rainbow connections for everybody. That song has been going round and round in my head ever since the Rainbow Warriors find the other day.
Nightingale, you're a hoot! In hotel rooms I always put the bookmark in the Song of Songs in the Gideon Bible. (I discovered my brother does exactly the same thing.)
Orinoco -- you are a poet. My first thought was 'Battersea Power Station' which is silly but I guess you will know what I mean. Tall chimneys, church spires, magic skies -- aspiring heavenward.
Actually it would be a really good installation for Tate Modern -- don't know how you'd get it to hang up there though.
i need to stop reading these comments because i always love the finds and they make me smile.. then i read the comments and stupid people with stupid comments piss me off.
who are we to say there is a bad find. it is what it is because it was found and that in itself makes it beautiful.
it was lost by one who now misses it, but thankfully we are able to enjoy it and the one who lost it has now been able to share the joy they knew in that moment with the world and they dont even know it.
rainbows are beautiful. always.
Rainbows. Ov. Er. Ra. Ted. Ov. Er. Rat. Ed. Stupid f'ing rainbows.
Rainbows are a symbol of God's promise to Noah that the earth and everything living on it would never again be destroyed by a flood.. thats why i find them amazing and beautiful
seeing this picture makes me wish i could travel around asia and find a picture of a rainbow.
"As predicted", didn't you notice that only two of the comments before yours contained clues as to the location of the writers? And, to add to your ignorance, you failed to notice that those two comments did not put-down the picture at all. To summarize them both, one commented that a rainbow is an upside-down smiley- face and the other made a football reference because of the two visible vertical "poles". I'd like to know what you would have said about this find (which you admit is mediocre) if you hadn't had your head up your ass.
Next time you want to spout off about anything, I hope it coincides with what prompts you to do so.
This reminds me of Louisiana...And bad times...And hope...Yeah, that fell that fuck through.
I'm not a pessimist, I'm a realist.
whilst?
I think rainbows are cool.... and here's a very-nice pablum cliche about 'em:
It takes both the Sun and the Rain to make a Rainbow.
(AND.. it takes the Minnesota Rainbow Warriors to almost-steal-a-car and live to write about it~~)
i love rainbows. and kermit the frog. and goal posts that look like noodles.
Pictures of rainbows are suposed to be lucky... :)
Wow! Who knew that a beautiful picture of a rainbow could invoke such venomous responses, or that I would be in the minority in my fascination with rainbows. I still find myself awestruck by their beauty whenever I see one in the sky and always find them a comforting reminder that everything will be okay. Just call me Pollyanna.
Wow, silly how many arguments have formed.
My brother took one look at this and said, "It's obviously having to do with the gay community... With the rainbow and the poles and all."
That's just his opinion, I thought it funny.
Last time I saw a rainbow I got laid on an airplane.
take your negativity somewhere w/o rainbows jerks
we can love this photo love the sky love the people that leave rainbows places + the people that find them
