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...
Do you think she means, "what village [in Pakistan or perhaps Afghanistan] are your parents from?" Otherwise, "British born" doesn't seem to make sense.
Uh ohhh. Is that comic sans? She'll never find a husband with comic sans!!! (why does everyone hate comic sans? I find it perfectly delightful.)
thats not comic sans crazy
She wants the real McCoy except it's certain that McCoy won't be his last name.
I love cosmic sands! It's my favorite fount.
I love how we pay attention to the font not the message. :]
But I've been font analysing lately and it's strange that the use the free spirited comic sans then write 'no time wasters' ? Too serious for the font.
Ancient vivi I do think I love you for the most awesome typos of my life and for bringing up the ancient vivi find (woo final fantasy) for no apparent raisin.
Too picky!!! She (or HE) is going to wind up with some mangled face, chew corn through a fence, 'i love my cat more than you' kind of guy...
Also, if this person were truly devoted to finding a soul mate... they would have included a picture!
I just find it sad that a woman who is obviously in her 20's ("age 22 up") has to post an ad on a *bulletin board* to find a life partner! This isn't about selling a second-hand bicycle, this is someone's life! The only sadder thing is the small ads in the newspaper where they describe themselves like an apartment: "Must-see, modern accomodation, 22 yrs one-owner, etc."
(marriage)
A serious muslim-girl would not be looking for a husband by means of a notice on a bulletin board. Or be hanging out her e-mail address for all to see. Couldn't her parents come up with a decent candidate from their home-village?
don't fall for it! it's actually MI6 looking for someone to pin something on.
What a joke. How absolutely picky can you be, lady?? And, of all things, on a bb??
Try Craigslist...
I don't think she's picky enough!
If it were a man, he would have given physical requirements (weight in proportion to height, well groomed, etc...)
There isn't much difference in doing this, or posting a profile on Match.com, or eHarmony.
I've always wished I could have shopped for a mate like you do ingredients in a recipe. A cup of this, a tablespoon of that, a pinch of something special....
...and BAM! Soul mate divine!
Thank you, Dancing. Do you bake? My raisin-date bread is my purpose for being.
p.s. Terrorists need only apply.
"My raisin-date bread is my purpose for being." Good one, Ancient Vivi. Satyr rear.
I'm the opposite of everything in this letter, and the marriage word scared me off.
Wow Ancient Vivi, maybe I should quit dreaming of concocting a mate, and get you recipe for raisin-date bread!
Sounds delicious, and it must be satisfying!
I think this is the ploy they're using to round up young Muslim men in the UK.
Secret Asian Man... don't i know you?
M'thew, she may be exactly trying to escape from an arranged marriage set up in her home village by her parents. This could be the bravest thing she's ever done in her life. It might be the kind of family in which, if her brothers find out she's dating someone other than the man her parents have picked out for her, they will murder her and call it an 'honour killing'.
There may be very few likely candidates where she is and she has no other way of finding/meeting them. We don't know enough (well, I don't) about this girl's cultural background to mock or sneer.
Let's hope she does find one who is 'genuine honest' and not a terrorist.
And yeah, it could be a ploy by MI6 to catch suspects – the Taliban are Pathans apparently.
Ancient Vivi, please share your recipe for that raisin date bread? delicious and satisfying, probably more so than any man could hope to be.
morning come, and i wanna go home...
Jonathan, it's POSSIBLE that those things are the case, but it all sounds a bit Very Special Episode to me. I prefer the MI6 explanation. "The honeymoon will be on the beautiful island of Diego Garcia!"
Gotta give the girl (guy?) some credit, she knows what she wants.
sorry, that's 'multiracial' UK. Or do I mean 'multi-ethnic'.
Actually Birmingham (UK) is a good place to look for Pathans.
I too should love to indulge in raisin date bread and am willing to let my baking self come out- in spades? Also, if it's as magical as it sounds,perhaps our dear writer could benefit from the recipe as well-- maybe finder-Laura could post it on the same bulletiin board. Let's see if finds can go the other way!
(p.s. i'm almost afraid to ask... but what are furr burgers?)
Looking for a genuine, honest, fun, and attractive American-born Agnostic Female for short term relationship (Sex). Preferably someone from the Washington DC Area ranging from 22 onwards. Can you please state your name, age, where you live in the US and what city you are from. Serious Applicants only, No teases.
Maybe she's trying to replace a suicide bomber. After all, she's looking for a "long term" relationship, not some marriage/martyr arrangement.
Seeking an Honest yet sweet Utah Man American Born For Long Term Relationship (Long Painful Lifetime)Ranging from 25+ If this is you and wont mind my nagging please list your name and contact info here...
lol jk, this is a hilarious find lol!! Love it!!
LOL Sean! I was going to head in that diretion with my post, but when women post stuff like that we are hoes, but its ok for men lol jk
Where do I apply? lol jk :P
*direction
Too funny UtahChick, I would never request such a thing (sarcasm). I want to hit up Chuck-o-Rama in SLC if it's still there, I don't know.
Jonathan, it sounds a bit too Lynley-esque to me (Deception on his mind). News travels fast in the Pathan community. But maybe it was a practical joke from a friend?
Secret Asian Man...are you my roommate (M)?
i once had a dream that my former boss (who is asian) sang Secret Agent Man as Secret Asian Man, since he talked about his ethnicity 24/7.
hey how come everyone else is allowed to talk about...burgers?...no fair! my comment (& mona lisa's too) was deleted =o(
and now i've forgotten what the rest of my comment was...lol
*Looks Around* Hmmm Where's Pepper? Telling people I love furr burgers lol. There is a Chuck O Rama still here I haven't been forever though, Wanna go? lol
Good luck with that, lady.
Well... She sounds hot!
Seriously, your only requirements are British-born and Muslim? That's sad.
What Muslim man would want any serious relationship with a brazen slut like this? Allah only smiles on wives secured through arranged marriages.
The new Danish kringle recipe i've "found" is MY new reason for being! You can find it too, here: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Danish-Kringle/Detail.
Even if you don't really bake, it's super easy.
I can just imagine what this woman is like: anal, critical, demanding and secretly wanting to be dominated. I bet she works for the postal service.
Infidel!
Sean S., just curious here; Why does she really need to be genuine, honest, fun, and attractive American-born Agnostic Female when ya just wanna give it to her in her hoo-ha?
I agree with you, Turbo. Although it seems that guys are much pickier on paper than they are in real life. Get 'em drunk enough, and they'll boink your friend with the "great personality" in the blink of an eye.
It's nice when you don't to put a bag over their head Turbo lol jk I AM TOTALLY KIDDING!!!
Agnostic because religious chicks con you into a guilt trip that ultimately leads to unwanted marriage.
Attractive because I like Eye Candy, something nice to look at.
Fun means kinky creative foreplay, no dull stuff.
Genuine because I would prefer she were really a woman and not a man in drag.
You see turbo, it DOES make sense.
LOL!! Hmmmm yes it is all perfectly clear now lol so umm where do I apply? lol jk I'm sooooo bored at work :P
This girl just got out of a relationship with one of those people that tries on different religions and lifeslytles like a tourist visits countries. He struggled with his commitment to the faith (tried to get in her pants) for six months until she finally gave in and let him at her hoo-ha. Then, satisfied, he left her.
She's heartbroken and desperate, but what even she doesn't know is that she's not really looking for a real long term relationship (marraige) only for another tourist, someone who will pretend to cherish her (now faked) purity for a while and then fuck her brains out and go away.
she'll repeat the process a few times, then drop the charade and become Sean's agnostic, attractive, fun, genuine sex girl.
I'd totally answer the ad and speed her along her path to freedom(if she's not otherwise intolerable for some reason).
Go right ahead Rex Winsome, mess with that Muslim Mamma, and you'll have her Father, brothers, uncles, cousins going jihad on your ass!
I hate to think of what they might do with the sword of Muhammad, and some of your more delicate body parts!
No hoo-ha is worth all that!
Are there any Muslims that look at FOUND? I haven't heard any dissenting comments concerning Islam.
OMG!! LMAO!! I'm a total ditz :P I never realized what "furr burgers" was lol hmmm in that case I am allergic to furr burgers! lol
Captain, everyone doesnt hate comic sans, but i think most people that do hate it because of its overuse. everyone thinks its so cute and fun, but in most cases a cute and fun font just looks childish and unprofessional. Usually a more simple font, although perhaps not as "fun", will make your document look much better.
Arial 10 rules!
Sure that makes sense Sean, but what if her voice sounds like what Comic sans looks like?
UtahChick, you didn't realize that! LOL! Well, no wonder you were so nonchelant about it!
This has mother-in-lawness written all over it. I think this is something that the parents put together. They are looking for a suitable date for their daughter. They wrote up a list of quaifications and posted it in locations that they thought would attract the "right" kind of man.
UtahChick, check it out.

Now mona will be jealous.
Design school, I wholeheartedly concur. I do like comic sans (and many similar fonts- I'm something of an addict *ahem* I mean a collector.) But there is definitely a right time and place for it. It wasn't long ago when a Find was in Comic Sans, and someone commented that someone had submitted a resume in that font, and the prospective employer filed it immediately in the circular file. (of course that's all rumor and second hand info, but I wouldn't doubt it.)
I only comment once again on the comments and the font because this find is, sorry.. completely uninspiring.
I think Josie may have a point there, though- it's the product of her parents' meddling!!
Even if the find is uninspiring, once this becomes a recipe exchange or match.com, I'm fucking out!
Buh Bye. Seeya. Sayonara. Ciao. Don't let the door hitcha in the ass on your way out.
the only way i'd be jealous, pepp, is if someone were after you....
and utah girl, check out http://www.foundmagazine.com/find/372
and give me your take on that? it could use a few more 'innocent' interpretations.
Anyway, you know. People from this background, Indian, Pakistani, etc...it's very common for them to look for mates using personal ads, I don't understand it myself, just being an American white girl (psst, psst, Sean, hey man, call me ;)
Yeah, um, it's common practice in their community.
What a nob head. People like this don't deserve to find a husband.
I've just completed an afghan, can we talk about that?
Oh mona, you are jealous, because UtahChick is after me. She loves furr burgers.
Secret Asian Man has to be my second favorite name I've seen on the Found Board, Ever. Right after .oO(in a thought bubble)
