Isn't that the Nun from 'Madeline'?...I didn't realize she wore spiked boots...hmmm

those boots were made for walkin'

That is the foot wear of the successful woman though that hair may have to go!
Any one else think she might be related to the Penguine as portrayed by Danny Divito?

Holly, Holly, Holly....Knock it off, babe.

I wonder how the FINDer -or the FOUND staff- figures this as a self-portrait. Couldn't it just be a portrait? Or just a drawing w/ no particular real subject?

One eye is bigger than the other. At least she's smiling. Kinda a boring find.

Starring Sally Field as 'The Flying Nun.'


and I'm thinking that if those horizontal lines are notebook paper lines, then the original isn't all that big. 10 cm., or 4 in., or so.

Anyone figured out what the print on the reverse at the top says?

The boots make me think of Stevie Nicks. I'm not sure why.

I can't get the theme to The Flying Nun out of my head.

Them aint feet - them's horseshoe crab claws.

can anyone make out what it says on the back of the top?

No photoshop on this computer...

The arms make me think of thalidomide.

@wallowing

It says "Introducing our full s---- and health---"
That's all I could read.

Holy smokes - shouldn't I have something better to do?

@ Alan: what could you do that would be better than this?
It looks like she is wearing one of those funky hats with the floppy thingies on the sides.

@ ferizzle - I thought she was the nun from Madeline IMMEDIATELY so it was funny to see your first comment agreed with me! :)

Ah! It's Sister Bertrille! Alan, would you pass The Flying Nun theme over here when you're finished with it? I can't seem to recall what it was, though I remember watching it (wasn't it on Sundays?) when I was younger.

Awww this reminds me of my daughters many drawings of me. Except in hers she draws my husband next to me as like a little midget with me towering over him lol when in real life I am the short one lol

Awwww. Alan knows what horseshoe crab claws look like!!! I'll swoon if you know how the males and females can be told apart my their claws...I love horseshoe crabs. They were my favorite inverts when I worked at an aquarium in ME.

This drawing has totally inspired my outfit for tomorrow.

OK I'm going by memory without the use of the worldwide information superhighway interweb.

On a male crab one of their feet doesn't have the 'V' shaped pincher thingy - but looks more like a hitchhiker's thumb.

Is that close? Was I too technical?

Thank you, alan! Once it started I recognized it as something I'd heard before. But, I kept the volume low so it wouldn't get stuck in my synappers or neurotic neurons.

What I'm going to have trouble with, though, is this image of a nun and a seagull colliding in mid-air. Time for meditation and/or medication! 8D

A Nun and a Seagull colliding in midair would make a:

Good choice, Smallbear! Because aren't all nuns gulls?

I find it a little off putting that the finder (or finder's friend) describes the FIND location as "a very upscale shopping mall". Its as if he's telling us his mall is better than the crap malls we usually find things in. That doesn't make your FIND any better, John! How dare you.

tiffanyt, he's not doing anything but describing the location. Get over yourself.

Time for the nun jokes
Do you know why you always see two or more nuns together?

To make sure no one gets nun.
+ July 01, 2008 06:27 PM +
Smallbear in the Cave
Two Scottish Nuns have just arrived in the United States for an extended stay. The younger of the two says to the older one, the Mother Superior:
"I've heard that in this country they eat dogs."

"Really?" replies the Mother Superior. "Well, when in Rome."

So, spying a nearby hot dog stand they go over and order two plain dogs.

The vendor prepares the dogs and wraps them in foil. Unwrapping her hot dog the nun looks it and in shock asks her campanion:

"What part did you get?
+ July 01, 2008 09:15 PM +
Smallbear in about to be excommunicated
Two Nuns were cycling down a cobblestone street.
One Nun says to the other: I've never come this way before." The other Nun replies: " Oh, really. It must be the cobbles."

*Ducks the lightening bolt!*
+ July 01, 2008 09:21 PM +
nun joke fan and i'm not even catholic!
Well done, Smallbear!

Sometime back in maybe May or even April a few of our regular and oh-so-clever and I'm sure very hot posters had a some good nun jokes. I was sort of hoping that they would come through for us again.

Nun Dare Call It Treason

Two young nuns were assigned the job of painting a classroom as part of a general make-over during summer break, but Mother Superior warned them that if they got even one drop of paint on their habits, they would be severely disciplined. Thinking they were clever, they locked the door and stripped to their shorts, carefully setting their habits aside. After about an hour there was a knock on the door. The nuns nervously asked, "Who is it?" The person responded, "Blind man." Looking at each other and shrugging, the nuns opened the door. The man said, "Nice tits, sisters. Where do you want the blinds?"

On this very day I did not visit Found because as part of my summer cleaning projects, I was busy going through my daughter's childhood art work. Typical.

I like the boots. Very upscale.
