Nose Pills
FOUND by Rick Lee in Charleston, West Virginia
Found this next to a gas pump a few days after Christmas. Did he lose the list before he finished his shopping? Did he remember those nose pills and the lip stuff? The note is written on a Post-It that says "Betapace AF" on it. That's a drug to treat heart arrhythmias.

Nose pills? That sounds uncomfortable.

Hey! I didn't know "elves" had a silent e!
Also, I certainly hope the drain cleaner doesn't somehow fit into the holiday theme. I don't want any of that guy's Christmas punch...

I just love drain cleaner in the middle of all that. I don't know why, but it's the only part that made me chuckle.

I wish they had a (quantity) after each item: reindeer antlers (9) santa hats (4) elve hats (50)

Nose pills? I hope you don't take them through the nose...
And what the hell is lip stuff? It doesn't sound like something a santa claus would need

pepe in the pew
clearly, an ambush is being planned. beta blocker and nose pills plus drain cleaner and disguises! watch out, santa.
(lip stuff is for the initial seduction)

You know santa's raindeer all have to be female, because in the winter male raindeer lose their antlers. :P And this has been another installment of random dumb fact!

This looks like, to me, that it's a list for a Christmas Party combvined with someones personal item list. Lip stuff --I hope-is lip balm. What I like the most about this find is the casualness of it all - "stuff". "nose pills instead of cold or allergy medicine. It's like once I wrote on a list "ass tissue" instead of toilet paper. LOL !

lip stuff is important, you're bound to get chapped lips, flying through the cold winter air like that. Nose pills too, who knows what kind of allergens you'll be exposed to, going into so many different houses.

Is there a one-stop shop for all of these items... I've never seen "nose pills" at Wal-Mart.

This is obviously a cult-like mass suicide in the making - who knew they had theme parties?

Wouldn't be weird if this was a list of things she FOUND? Like, she moved into a new house and went up in the attic and found all these hats and antlers, surrounded by unfinished wooden toys and the strong smell of bleach and ammonia....

yesss..i thought i was the only one who called lip balm 'lip stuff'. i love this list.

I'm in sane
I imagine an exhausted heart surgeon with a bad cold, running out at to get some last minute items for the office holiday party, and by God he is not going to let those slow drains at home go on for one more day. (Wierd though, that a brain surgeon would think that elf is elve... maybe he's actually a plumber and his wife is the brain surgeon).
+ December 23, 2007 09:55 AM +
I'm in sane
Wait, no, this guy with the bad cold works at a pharmacy, his lips are totally chapped from breathing thru his mouth all night, and his wife told him "If you don't clean and unclog your shower tonight, I am hiring a plumber AND a housecleaner." Poor bastard. (I wonder if he hates staff holiday parties as much as I do).

Go ahead and sue me for not paying attention to detail, but at first I thought the finder said the paper said "betaplace". And I really liked the sound of that. But I guess getting your heart beating at a beta pace is good, too.

Have a beta day than yesta day.

we used to call it lip balm around here, until my nine year transposed her words once, and accidentally called it lip blam. Now we always call it lip blam. It just seems to fit.

Nose pills and drain cleaner? Santa's cooking up some meth.

dissapointed in the north pole
I know why he needs the shower and drain cleaner... let's be honest, Santa is one hairy mofo. Nose pills... well, I guess even Santa needs a little bump now and then. You try flying around the world in one night without some sort of magical nose pill stimulant narcotics and see how far you get.

by the way:
Lady Brandy in New Bedford, MA- hilarious, I can imagine that scenario airing on the next CSI. "Santa Claus Killer"

Sounds like a terrible holiday party, except for the nose pills.

Ooooohhh Terrie's right.. nose pills= pseudoephedrine! Wow, Santa,who knew?

Beth in the merry mass of Christ
Sounds like someone is organizing a children's Christmas concert. I'm surprised Asprin isn't there along with nose-pills and lip stuff. He is going to need it with 25 kids in Santa hats crying because they are tired and hungry. Ah... Christmas.

Dissapointed, there was actually a Bones (TV show similar to CSI) that had a killer Santa. I can just see Grissom making some Santa wisecrack before the opening credits now :-)

Beth: I like your theory but I'm wondering why 'earplugs' weren't included.

Only four shopping days left till Kat's birthday!

Query: What's the dif between a santa hat and an elve hat?

OT, I know, but has anyone noticed American Apparel took our comments to heart? "Waist" not, want not, I say!
+ December 23, 2007 10:54 PM +
off the subject but inportant none the less
I just learned not to spray the bottom of your candle holders with no stick cooking spray to keep the candle from sticking. The fumes ignite.
+ December 23, 2007 11:02 PM +
based solely upon my powers of observation, I offer this op in ion
Santa hats are red with white trim, and elve hats are green with red trim, or red with green trim?
+ December 23, 2007 11:16 PM +
Banjo in my olde elve hat
The elve hat is for the dapper "Olde English" elve about towne. Kind of a top hat that is green with a red lip to it (perhaps the lip stuff is the fuzzy fringe for the hat lip?) while the regular elf sipmly wears a plain old floppy red and green hat with a white puffball on the tip.

The notepad makes me think he may be a drug rep, and all the drug reps I know are assholes, so I hope he forgot his lip stuff and is suffering through some severe winter-chapped lips.

If "nose pills" = Sudafed (tm) and "lip stuff" = Chapstick (tm) . . . then why doesn't "drain cleaner" = some kind of laxative?

Hmm.. then what would shower cleaner be? some sort of medication to clear up a urinary tract infection? hmm.

actually, "lip stuff" is most probably the blistex that comes in the little blue tub. Most everyone in my high school used it and called it lip stuff.
