Sorry for the Poopy Marker
FOUND by Susan Storck
in Minneapolis, Minnesota
I found this note on the ground while leaving my dorm at the U. of M. I hadn't seen anything like it since middle school. I love my dorm...

*First post* I like the juxtaposition of the deep philosophical quote with he scatalogical references overlaying the page.
I've lived in Minneapolis, but for the life of me, can't figure out what "A & F" smells like... Maybe I'm too tired to figure it out.
Ohhhhhh I get it! --- Abercrombie & Fitch! Oh, sorry poopy-marker girl, if he's an A&F kind of guy, I'm guessing he won't be all that into you.
True... He might just be into the guy to your left. Just kidding.
At first, I thought that "the Looker" was some sort of stalker. Then I got to the "A&F! YUM!" and I figured it out. :)
i live in minneapolis, but i don't know what abercrombie & fitch smells like. anyone care to answer that for me?
(i also like the poopy colored marker)
First, I love the color. And this a note that I would have written to one of my girlfriends...but maybe a little too childish.
ps. I bet she is a virgin and that is why she is so creepily childish.
i was always sending notes like this in middle school and now as i write this from my college dorm i find the location of this note funny.
Boys that smell like A&F are always left better from afar, "lookers". They look and smell great but up close you can see their flaws and A&F boys usually have their fair share.
Yikes. College girls talk (write) like this?
As the Finder commented: I haven't seen anything like this since Middle School.
Doesn't A&F just smell like Axe body spray? ick.
and Maggie, i think thats quite a rude assumption to make about a girl with a crush. I know 20 and 30 year olds who are more childish about their crushes on movie stars and they arent virgins. whats the fun in acting mature all the time and never having fun and getting lost in a daydream?
I guess it is a bit rude...sorry.
Late night, it's so true. Most should stick to the shirtless pics and keep their mouths shut.
Abercrombie and Fitch scares me. Not as much as Hollister though. I walk past in the mall and wonder how all those skinny little teenagers can shop in the dark with that threatening music pounding in their ears. The ambiance is probably to deter them from actually seeing the $90 price tag on their super skinny-low rise-vintage-dark wash jeans.
Their mannequins are even scarier than the hip thrusting, pouting Victoria's Secret mannequins.
Sorry. I have mall-phobia.
lillabean - its not only scary in a mall phobia kid of way but those facts make me afraid for my generation.. we are lost in having the best clothes, smelling the best, and weighing the least, and the store's atmosphere and mannequins make it even harder to resist
For me, the mannequins make it easier to resist. It only takes me ten minutes in the mall before I'm clutching my head and walking towards the door muttering, "I hate the mall, I hate the mall, I hate the mall." Thank god for online shopping.
*To try*
Not all college girls talk (write) like this. Only the stupid ones.
yeah. that "poopy" colored marker is the same color as my new gorgeous tattoos-- only I prefer to call that color "henna". hmph!
and as for A& F smells, I'm w/ trying- probably just like AXE, and I have it on good authority (my cousin) that that crap (let's say *poop* because of the context) does NOT work as advertised-- the girls don't tie you up in the elevator to show you what they can do with cherry stems... (yes, that is a euphamism-- there might be kids here)
"you never find people laboring to convince you that you may live very happily upon a plentiful fortune."
let's talk about this for a spell.
I think Dr Johnson would have spelt (or spelled) it 'labouring'.
Sarasara, I hd no idea what you were talking about until I peered at the tiny blue print at the bottom of the Find!
More interesting than adolescent crushes (and I thought A&F must stand for Ass and Feet. Which reminds me of a joke about C&A... no, let's not go there.)
Poor Dr Johnson was always broke (like me).
haha, I always thought calling a shop c&a was too funny..
but what I want to know is, what is GG??
I do abhorr that nasty, A & F crap, my son sprays it all over himself and his clothes, hence the house stinks to high heaven of it!
HMMMM...? What does 'GG' stand for??
Smelled like ass & farts? Abercrombie & Fitch? I don't know. The quote at the bottom is stupid. I'm very glad we have a find that does not relate to periods and masturbation though. Well, there is the poop.I by accident saw that cup video a couple weeks ago and had to call in sick.
My favorite part of this find is the little pile of poop illustration that the writer so kindly drew for us! That certainly clarifies the meaning of poopy-colored.
Wonder if they have the whole set of Sharpies that includes urine yellow and booger green?
I love this!!!! I could SO see myself writing this note in high school. Heck, I will admit that even now (with very certain people) I would still write the poopy P.S. at the top, illustration and all.
It's a cute note! Eye candy always make a boring class so much more enjoyable.
i hear ya lillabean! I work in an outdoor mall and it's just wrong that there is a foot of snow on the ground and hollister still has manequins outside wearing next to nothing. Makes me shiver just thinking about it.
GG....
Golden Gate?
Geeky Glasses?
Gilbert Grape?
????????????????????????????????????
I think Mag's is speaking from extensive, worldly experience, and shouldn't be chided for dissing the dingbat virgins of New Mexico. And A&F has at least 2 scents, and obviously nubile young ladies dig it. Learn from this find-
Sorry, not New Mexico, I meant Minnesota. The virgins up there should be smarter than this, eh Maggie?
My friends and I had fake nicknames for guys we wanted to talk about because you know that they would inevitably be around the corner if you talked about them. The nicknames got shortened into abbreviations. Mine were always JBB (Joe Billy Bob), my roommates were CWF (Curtis William Frank), and then they would have numbers. I still have fond memories of JBB #3, actually. So that's what I'm thinking the GG is for. And of course girls are silly in college. So many boys, only 4 years....
She had me and my sense of humor at "poopy colored Sharpie" - ha ha
Funny find - perfect for Friday.
All in one, I saw the cup video and can't get it out of my head. I wish I had never seen it. I'll never forgive Herve for sending it to me. I'm sending it to KC in the sunshine van now. I like the little poopy figure she drew though.
G.G. is Gilmore Girls
what are Gilmore Girls?
Perhaps the author of the note should re-think her diet if she associates burnt orange color with poop... Of course she is in college, and as I recall cafeteria food has a habit of doing strange and frightening things to the digestive system...
I had a friend who worked at "A&F" all through college, and could never figure out why women automatically assumed he was gay... Poor guy. He had the hardest time getting dates!
Thank you 'cream in my coffee', that was driving me crazy!
'Sheltered' - We did that too!! Usually it was something ridiculously silly like Mr. Potato Head, because they guy wore goofy glasses.
For a moment, I was confused, and mixed up A&F with A&M. Mmmmmm..... Hot dogs and root beer....
Still confused... A&W! I meant A&W! Although a Texas football team might smell OK. Not.
Gilmore Girls is an old sugar coated CW show about a mother and daughter who are bff and more like sisters than mother and daughter.
Wow. This actually reminds me of the electrician that comes into my work. Really attractive and very shy. Me and my co-worker came up with nicknames for the guys that come in the office. Electrician guy is Eye Candy. The soda guy was My PepsiMan (even though the machine was mostly coke products). And the other electrician was sunshine. Ahh. It is nice to behave like a twelve year old once in awhile.
I absolutely HATE Hollister and A&F. I won't shop there because if I wanted jeans that looked like someone had been wearing them for years (holes and all) I would go to a garage sale. I also have a problem with kiddie porn being passed off as advertising, have you ever seen A&F's catalogue?
But worst of all I took my high school aged sister shopping and she wanted to look at jeans at Hollister (she said it was where the cool kids shopped). So I relented. My sister is 4'11" and a size 6. She went in and tried on 6s and they were all too long. When she asked a woman (mid-40s) who had manager stamped under her name if they had any 6-Petite or 6-Short pants in the woman told her after looking her up and down that they only carry petite and short lengths in pants sizes 2 & 4. Then she added "The size people should be if they are that short".
Needless to say I told off the manager, took my crying sister by the hand and stormed out. She founnd jeans for half the price that looked (and smelled better) at Old Navy. I never plan on going back to Hollister.
And we wonder why so many girls are anorexic and have self image issues....
So at first I thought GG might be "girl's group". In high school we had a Bible study (really more of a "lets talk about boys and school" group) that was split into boy's and girl's group. But they do seem like the type to watch Gilmore Girls, or maybe the other CW hit, Gossip Girl. Also, did she actually draw a picture of poop? Is that what the arrow points to? Gross.
The lynx effect.
I ONLY WEAR TOP-OF-THE-LINE DESIGNER CLOTHING AND COLOGNE BECAUSE I MAKE THE MONEY TO AND I CAN. SCREW A COLLEGE FUND FOR THE KIDS
These girls love a poopy-colored GG Allin.
Suda! I do this too!
I theorize that A & F smells like "teen spirit".
As to the GG, I think the Gilmore And Gossip Girl(s) arguments are the most logical, given the context.
i hate hollister and a&f. i dont know how people can shop not only in the dark, but to purchase jeans that look like theve been run over on the highway for 8 years AND pay 90 bucks for them! they smell nasty in there and its too loud. wow, i AM an "old" 23 year old.
Coffee and try, I've never been in an Abercrombie and Fitch, but I walked past one once, and it smelled like teenage boys (which is pretty much like Axe). I feared for my life.
I too love the poopy colored Sharpie. How could you not?
Protesting, I thought the models were all over 18. In any case, it's still soft-core porn. Supposedly you have to be 18 to get get their catalogs...
Speaking of which, I'm sure you'll all love this:

Elle, when I worked in a restaurant we had the bread guy, the butter (dairy) guy, and of coarse the beer guy. I think the prerequisite to being a beer guy is that one is good looking.
Oh, and please no comments from Mona Lisa.
I think it means A & F means ass and farts and the writer was being sarcastic. We all know sarcasm does read well.
Thanks Pepper! I have seen about the first 15 secs. of that video - all I could stand. I think the music is actually as nauseating as the images.
I like the quote at the bottom. I wonder if you don't find people doing that because there are so few plentiful fortunes? And what constitues "plentiful" anyway? Seems like for these girls a hot guy who smells nice fits the bill. And GG is the cherry on top!
BTW, anyone planning on going to the Dallas Found if the weather cooperates?
I WILL BE ATTENDING THE DALLAS FOUND EVENT
If I know anything about college girls (and I am one!), G.G. definitely stands for the new CW show (based on the trashy book series), Gossip Girl. No doubt.
I'll be attemding with KC.
Sorry I meant attending.
First of all, what Hollister has a 40 year-old manager that wears a nametag? The un-holy jeans are about 40 bucks.... There are a TON of stores that have tiny clothes... I never hear anyone complaining that they hate Lane Bryant because the clothes are too big! If you don't like it, don't freakin' shop there! All this heated talk sounds like jealousy.
I'LL MAKE PEPPER MY DATE
Well what do ya know. Salt is gay.
I thought A&F was an "ass and farts" smell. Oh well.
YOU TYPE LIKE A WOMAN, PEPPER
I have been reading the find of day for a couple months now and have never made a comment. I don't like how people are hating on maggie...I don't particularly agree with her but I like her comment nonetheless...it made me laugh.
@concerned - forums etc. are always a tough crowd. especially the good ones. it's like darwinism at work. good times.
ps: i'm so going to start using the word "poopy" again. that is awesome.
norma jean/pepper. guys are always better looking when beer is involved.
G.G. = "gotta go"
i think i love my boy friend more when i'm drunk
I remember when Abercrombie and Fitch was a store for farty old men.
Terrie, that is SO funny! My Dad apparently used to shop there back in the day, and I found an old credit card from there. So, my Mom and I were out shopping one day shortly after they opened an A & F in our mall, and she said "oh, your Dad will be so happy." I said, "Um Mom, I don't think it's exactly the same as it used to be."
Can't be "gotta go". Who would say "see you for gotta go"?
Might be a TV show, or maybe they're going to a screening of The Great Gatsby, but more likely it's a class the two have together. Like Gender in Government or Global Geography.
pepper, what's the cup video?
also, i think GGG is good, giving, and game... (savage love), but that might be a completely different ballgame.
oh well, iq won't matter, it sounds like she's more interested in going for an M.R.S. anyway...
yes!! 7 days of finds to look through! we haven't had power on the west coast of Oregon since sunday and I hadn't checked for a few days before that. I still don't have power at my house, but I'm at a coffee shop with power. Astoria is devastated by the storm too. I'm sorry I know this has nothing to do with anything but I feel the need to tell the whole world.
Everyone says 'virgin' like it's a bad thing.
You know what? My legs stay closed and I have nothing to regret.
But anyway... The type of girl who writes this might be kind of aggravating, but I bet you overall she's a nice girl. She called the guy "The Looker" and not "Mr. Orgasmic Arms" or "Mr. Sex-in-my-dreams".. Or "Mr. Has-to-have-been-laid-cause-he's-just-that-hot" she gave him more respect than people give to her... and at least she isn't judging him based on a personal note between best friends.
GG def stands for the new show gossip girl! The books were great, but I never watched the show. Someone who watches that show would probable write a note like that still in college. Not that they are immature or anything, but given that the writer is concerned that the "Looker" smells like A&F they watch the show.
Hi, Spider! welcome back to "reality." Sorry you've been trounced by the storm- hopefully this'll be the worst of the season. And I hope you get your power back soon. Few things worse than a week-long power outage!
Good luck.
Sarasara!! Don't watch it you'll be sorry you did. It made me sick, and I like people less now.
Pepp, I think you add spice to this place and I like you. But I sometimes thought you were a girl too. That's funny Salt said you were gonna be his date.
I'm late to comment this, but...
This is such a preppy girl type note. I can just picture her scribbling this while spackling on lip gloss and girlishly winking at The Looker. Hahaha.
Wow, it sucks getting here late. Almost everything I was gonna say has already been said. Anyway, I also interpreted "the looker" as some creepy leering kind of guy, which went perfectly with my first guess on the meaning of "A&F": Ass and farts! What better scent for an unwanted suitor? I pictured him looking like a dirtier version of young George McFly. Turbo, I figured that since she likes the color of poopy, then this must be a really old note written by someone planning to go see G.G. Allin "perform" later that night. I was actually supposed to go see him (against my better judgment) in New Britain, CT, years ago, but he couldn't make it to the show because he had croaked the night before. It was probably for the best, I guess.
Creepy!
Pepper is about five of us around the tri-county area here in central Texas. I know at least 3 of the others, but they have given out the name to use for others. I am a girl and most of the others are too, but I do know of 2 guy peppers.
solitary, pepper once told us she gave birth to a 10 pound baby and what her waistline measured the day she delivered. is that why you thought she was a girl?
Oregano, that would be me and I am the original Pepper, but I suggested some of my rascal friends in Houston sign on as that as well. They also sign in as Mona sometimes just to get her goat. I will do that too when I feel onry.
i'm sorry but i don't believe you pepper.
Oregano, I didn't catch that one. And Pepp, that makes sense.
Thanks Chrome Toaster, I JUST got power back!! Woot!!
She's not to be trusted.
GG is definitely Gossip Girl. Gilmore Girls is a good guess but outdated. Gossip Girl is the new television obsession. I think this is a fun find, college is supposed to be full of fun times and inside jokes as this clearly is.
Elee, my teaching partner and I also had a HUGE crush on the good-looking guy who would come in to fix our copy machines at work when they broke down! We called him the Copy Machine Guy, and we would put on lipstick and perfume when he came in. And then hang out in the copy room doing 'projects.' And I'm not young, and this was at a private Christian school! :o)
G.G. is CLEARLY the Golden Girls.
uhhh no GG is gossip girl
why would college students watch the golden girls?
Yeah I was gonna say George Gershwin or Graham Greene, but then I applied nadia's logic and I thought "Wait, college girls aren't into jazz standards or religious books and/or Native American actors..."
Therefore it's obvious that she meant "See you for Gilbert Gottfried!"
Nadia,
It is time for you to take stock and realize that it is okay to admit that you watch the Golden Girls. We all do. Men, women, young, old. Sophia's subtle references to farting, Dorothy's awful love life, Blanche's overactive love life, and Rose's idiocy are too much to deny yourself. You can fool yourself into believing that it is Gossip Girl, but at some point in your life you will realize my wisdom.
The gay guys at work love the golden girls. I'm not judging, I'm just saying. They also love Cher.
I hate the smell of Abercrombie and Fitch! Its not axe, I personally get a bit of the Axe Effect myself (swooning over the smell) but A&F smells bad. I can't describe what it smells like, but its bad. I thought I was the only one who noticed it! I was thinking "Wow.....people like that smell?" Theres another store by our local A&F that smells weird too, maybe they share vents?
When I smell some (icky) strong, cloying scent of cologne or perfume, I hate to imagine what kind of horrible body odor the wearer is trying to cover up with their cloying cologne/perfume.
I can't remember what it was, but a few years ago there was a popular women's scent (Liz Claiborne? maybe) that smelled like RAID. (kills. bugs. dead.) every time I smelled it, it made me wheezy and short of breath.. horrid, horrid stuff.
Oh, and Hey all you Dallas area Found Fans.. have fun tonight!!!
3!
Almost missed the quote at the bottom. Got some high class dollar store stationary with quotes by people I don't care about on it. On that note, there sure is a dirth of Oscar Wilde stationary. I love the mad lib feeling this note has created.
For all of you that don't know A&F smells like "Fierce", a cologne that is sprayed every hour on the hour...... Believe me it may be overwhelming at first, but u get used to it after a while
Logan:
StationEry.
Dearth.
never mind.
I do care about Dr Johnson, by the way.
There's a monument to Oscar Wilde I walk past on my way to work. It has a quote on it: 'We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.'
Have you noticed that people in offices who deal with StationEry can never spell it?
'Excuse me, madam, do you keep stationary?'
'Well, I try to, but I always lose control at the last moment and finish up thrashing about all over the place.'
a&f smells like teh sex. a guy sprays it, and panties drop.
wtf is "teh sex"?
Jacqueline, I think maybe you've been watching too much commercial television.
I hate to think of all those young chicks, (and hey, let's face it: hott bois too) trained (not unlike Pavlov's dogs) to drop their panties in response to a particular odor. I suppose that's what the entire perfume industry's all about, now that modern science knows all about pheremones and stuff. But come ON. Are you serious?
(Bomp Chicka Wow Wow.) Ack ACk!
I kinda thought, A&F meant Ass and Feet...and the YUM! was being sarcastic...just my first impression.
oh, and also on my first read (judging by how middle/junior highish this note seems) I thought G.G. was short for Gilmore Girls.
G.G stands for this lovely-no longer aired- tv show called gossip girls!!!!! YOUr welcome :)
The Kitty strikes AGAIN
