it's 'be kind to spotpak' week!
At first I thought this was a plea from someone in luv.
I think it was Kim's moving 'box' that got dumped!
Sounds like some girl is this guy's relationship "training wheels." He doesn't want her to dump him because she's low maintenance and easy to please, no strings...and he's saving his commitment and true love for Kim!
Lucky Kim.
Poor Kim. Did it get dumped anyway? Where's the box?
Personalizing cardboard boxes with those first person singular pronouns always makes them (the boxes) seem less ominous, less frightening to me.
Yes, Librarian, just like the winsome smile in the corner, which, I might add, turned into nostrils and a smile while I was staring at it and trying to decide who it resembled. Now, it is fixed at nostrils and I can't get the eyes back.
*sigh*
It's gonna be one of THOSE days.
Thank, Freonz. Now i can't get the nostrils out of my head... Thanks a lot. sheesh.
Yeah...um...tanx pal.
Now if youse will just tell me where I CAN dump Kim's body, I won't have to do anything...er...unsavory like.
Capisce?
I'm so truly sorry, mona lisa.
@alan, thank you for starting my morning with an actual laugh. Unsavory like, indeed! LOL
LOL.. Freonz, the same thing happened to me, even before I read your comment! And no matter who it may have looked like before, now all I see is.. Dennis the Menace or Iggy from the Lulu comics. Or something.
I'm glad it was a box (or a boxful of stuff) talking. from the title, I thought it was gonna be another "thanks for boinking me, I'll always LOVE you, please don't ever dump me!" kind of notes.
Fine, Mona. Ignore me. But all day long I'll be singing that ELO song to you.
"And I can't get it out of my head
No I can't get it out of my head.
Now my whole world is gone for dead,
Cuz' I can't get it out of my head."
Well yes, it could be about boxes. But I bet said note writer is using this relationship as a way not to sleep w/ other guys, and even not sleeping w/ relationshipee all just to save self for Kim.. Still a slut! Just totally rude!
Spam, I hate math.. Suck it!!
the face in the corner and the "tanx!" makes me want to punish whoever wrote this.
Librarian, do you usually find boxes ominous and frightening then? Christmas must be a fraught time.
Anthropomorphizing inanimate objects often annoys me.
Tanx. Tanx for noting.
Oh Vitruvian man, how could i ever ignore you? You, with the abs of steel, the posture of Adonis... sigh... and now you put that song in my head. Now i've got nostrils, and ELO in there, and the sight of your strong, athletic body.... is it hot in here? someone fan me, please.
@L: I am extremely annoyed by anthropomorphizing animate objects, like the awful guy in Grizzly Man. Just the first few minutes of the film makes me want to puke.
Fooch you meant inanimate objects,correct? The last time I knew boxes weren't alive. :0
I know it's wrong but the entire time I was watching that movie I was rooting for the bear.
@ Smallbear:
Nope..meant what I said cuz I wasn't referring to the boxes.
I was agreeing with L, then adding my own annoyance...but no one can read my mind, so I can understand the confusion.
I get it, fooch. I didn't see Grizzly Man, but i bet its annoying.
I'm BOXMAN!

Don't dump me!
Please!
I'm saving myself for Kim!
...Kim??
Hello?
It's me, Boxman!
You remember??
Don't dump me!!
Please!!!
I said please!!
Oh...
It would seem that our smiley little box is also Irish: Tanx!
chheeessse.
Ooooohhh baby, I love it when you anthropomorphize me!! Mmm yeah do it again!
ahem.
Sorry.
Carry on.

I'm sorry...really - very sorry.
@Mona Lisa in Fooch's Mind "Grizzly Man" Is actually not as annoying as Fooch thinks. I was rooting for the bear because hey, bears have to stick together. Yet, as a study in human nature. In how and why this guy was motivated to do the crazy things he did and how he rationalized these actions to the world and more interestingly to himself,it was really fasinating. So, too were his ideas on grizzly behavior and society.
It's a great film and honestly, all internet personas aside, watching it you want this guy to be right and to succeed. You know in your gut he won't, he can't, but as a member of the human race you wish he would.
Ok, that sounds corny I know,but I'd be willing to bet at least half the people who see this movie feel this way at some point while watching it.
Do yourself a favor and watch it and decide for yourself.
He was a moron. (grizzly man)
@ Smallbear: I have watched the movie several times (I own it) and Herzog did a wonderful and tasteful job with the footage. However, what angered me the most was that is wasn't about the bears, it was about Treadwell. He was the star of the show. What was there to root for, except that his poor girlfriend doesn't die? In my opinion, he deserved what he got: eaten by a grizzly bear. They weren't his pets, like he pretended they were, or like he thought the fox was.
Sorry about the rant. I have been a park ranger for NPS (loved his rant in the movie) and I passed the dvd around to my coworkers...everyone shared the same opinion: he was narcissistic and self absorbed and it was about him.
ok, now I am done :)
@Fooch Of Course it was about Treadwell. If it had been about the bears it wouldn't have been very interesting, would it? It was a study in human nature and how weird and odd it can be, to be human. It was about optimism and reaching for the impossible, believing in something that no one else does. It was about the idiosyncratic nature of people and comparing it to the wildness of the bears. Of course Treadwell was an idiot that's not in question, but let's not undervalue the truth, which is, he was also an incredibly
unique, free spirited, brave (though dumb)and interesting person, who lived life on his terms, challenged the Status Quo and had an infectious love of Nature and Life.
I agree he deserved what he got, in the end. But I admire the guy nonetheless, how many of us have the guts to live life with as much bravery and gusto as he did? He was naive and dumb, but he did what he wanted with his life and I'll bet he had no regrets. How many of us can say the same? Not me.
Ok,I'll climb off my soapbox now.:)
If loads could speak..
@Smallbear
Good points. I understand the fascinating study of human nature.
Into the Wild was a good movie about a naive dumb guy, too, but at least when he went down, it was just himself. No one had to kill a bear and tear out his guts to find human remains, nor did he drag another human into his adventure in the end.
But...well, I think I should be done now :)
I'm sure no one else cares about this topic. How did I get started? Oh..the anthropomorphizing thing...
@Fooch and Cubby, funny thing is that this whole conversation happened before within the last month or so. LOL! I couldn't venture a guess as to which Find, though.
I have a thing for boxes, too, Kim. Hope you found a sturdy replacement.
dear fooch and smallbear. I will watch the movie, and get back to you with my opinion. I did wikipedia it, yesterday, and it sounded like something i might enjoy, and get angry or at least feel something about.
you guys rock. all internet personas aside.
Well, the good thing about this Find is that only the NOTE was found. So hopefully Kim took the box home and lived happily ever after. (after noticing that this lovely note fell out, and doing nothing to preserve it's fragile soul.. but that's what Found Magazine is for.)
Dear fooch and smallbear, your Siskel and Ebert-esque bickering aside, I STILL have no intention whatsoever of watching the movie of which you speak. I'd rather watch Grizzly Adams on DVD. (which is what i originally thought you were talking about anyway.) (and Fooch, dear, if the first few minutes of the film makes you want to puke, why watch it over and over again?)
Kisses, and Pep-Cherry-O'
mmm...I have a secret crush on Timothy Treadwell, which is the reason I watch it over and over.
Now you know the truth
Jonathan in his speshul boxman sut FTW.. How could we have forgotten Boxman!?
hands down best comment in a long time.
@Fooch I agree " Into the Wild" is a similar type of story and one I enjoyed for similar reasons.Though I'd recommend reading the Jon Krakaur book on which the movie was based, it's better.
@Night I was thinking the same thing as I was writing my responses to Fooch. Does anybody know which Find it was that sparked a similar debate on "The Grizzly Man" ?
@Mona Thanks, you (all internet personas aside) Rock too.
@Cherry So which am I Siskel or Ebert?
I think one of those guys is dead. Make sure you are the one who isn't (re: Siskel and Ebert)
I can't drop this thread.
@Smallbear: I read the book years ago, then reread it after watching the movie. I agree, the book is way better (I am a huge Krakaur fan). The movie was good, visually. I fell in love with the soundtrack way before I saw the movie.
Oh dear. I spend too much time on this thing.
Does gravy really go with fish?
@Fooch Siskel is the one who is dead.(Brain tumor.) Then it was Ebert and Roper. Now Ebert is seriously ill,(of what I don't know) and so it's now Roper and whoever they get to co-host. So of all the possibilities I think I'll be Roper.
Glad you are a Krakaur fan his books on Everest and the Morman faith are books I always recommend to those who ask.
No, gravy never goes with fish, ever!
Siskel died of a brain tumor induced by consumption of mass quantities of nutrasweet-laden diet sodas, and movie theater popcorn "butter" at all those screenings.
