Heh-Heh-Giggle-Snort-Snort
FOUND by Kenneth in Grand Rapids, Michigan
Found a large vanilla envelope in an old suitcase left in a property I recently rented which indicate the person that wrote the text at the top of the picture was serving time in jail. Quagmire?
voices in my head
...manilla envelope?

She looks a little too old to be jail bait, but then they usually do. Maybe this is someone's revenge.

Does the Manila envelope contain more documentation that indicates the loser of this find was in jail? The back story is vague to say the least.

Are you sure it was a vanilla envelope, not chocolate or strawberry?

Dear Finder:

The backstory's waaaaay more interesting than the find here, I think (tho it *is* interesting to note that she's not wearing any panties. Don't ask; I just know these things).

1) manilla

2) ...a property I recently rented *, which indicates that* the person *who* wrote the text...

3)Quagmire?

Your Pal,

I think by "Quagmire" the finder was making a reference to the family guy character, who always says "giggity giggity".

and frankly, I'm a little embarrassed I just admitted being familiar enough with the show to recognize the reference.


I agree with what baby basil said, the back story is to vague. we need more details, and if possible other finds from that "vanilla" envelope(which is my favorite flavor of envelope BTW)

so *this* is what happened to pippy longstocking.

Putting things in perspective
Judging by the age of the photograph, I'd guess that the writing at the top is more likely to refer to Lisa Lupner than to The Family Guy.
+ August 17, 2008 07:19 AM +
Monkey in denial
I'm sure the writing on the photo has nothing to do with family Guy, I'm just guessing that the finders "Quagmire?" comment was about that.

but you're right, there's a very good chance the writing on the find is a reference to the Lisa Loopner character from classic SNL. the pic does look vaguely like her I suppose

What else was in the envelope? What else was in the suitcase?

Just wondering somewhere else in the midwest
There certainly is more than one Ken/Kenneth in Grand Rapids, right?

Must have been Pigtail Friday.

Way cool, the way the car behind the girl was caught 'driving by.'

It could have been a Vanilla envelope.

Love the pigtails. Would look great with an Asshat.

When I saw this picture I thought the girl looked like the girl off of "Diff'rent Strokes", you know the one who shoplifted and then committed suicide? what WAS her name?
+ August 17, 2008 09:59 AM +
stuck in the '80's with you
Dana Plato? Or something similar. (I won't google. nope. not gonna do it.)

I'm so glad I'm not the only one stuck in the eighties...I like it there, it's comfortable.
And yeah, I think her name was Dana Plato.

a vanilla envelope sounds like something Homer would try to eat.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM......stationary.

(Love the multi-colored leggings in the ad.)

The beginning "Heh-Heh" is somewhat lecherous and gave me the creeps.
It would be nice to have a bit more back story, since I am not thinking nice, pretty thoughts about the person who wrote those words on the top of the picture.

omg yes, that's Dana Plato for sure. Or a reasonable facsimile.

Fooch, I am with you. This seems lecherous to me. I think the writer of the top part did something bad to her and maybe did time for it. Creepy.

Finds don't need backstories and we don't need to demand them. That is why they are FINDS. For us to wonder about.

car people, what decade is this photo?
+ August 17, 2008 01:14 PM +

Ma bella Mona Lisa, I would say that if the yellow car in the background is anything to go by, it's mid-late 70's. My brother drove a car just like that, in that colour.

Holly the Homemaker in Toronto

Dana Plato...exactly!!! Remember those *cheezie* like, hair tie-ups at the ends of her pony-braids?
I use have them in every colour...UGH! My mom would do my hair in pig-tails, pony-tails, etc...it would give headaches!
Great *mullet* hair cut, though.

Hubby says it's a GM-Le Mans, the car is probably early 70's...'72-'74.
But, the pic is probably late 70's, like BABY said.

thanks, babe. I was thinking that, but not quite sure.

Emily Litella in New York City
What's all this fuss about vanilla antelopes? What difference could it possibly make what flavor the antelope is? Pretty soon we'll start hearing derrogatory comments about chocolate antelopes and rocky road antelopes, not to mention rainbow sherbet antelopes. I say all antelopes should be treated equally, no matter what flavor...

Um, Miss Litella, the comments were about manilla envelopes and how the finder mistakenly referred a manilla envelope as a vanilla envelope. ENVELOPE.

Oh, well that's different. Nevermind.

@ Emily: good one. Made me smile remembering Gilda and her many talents.

Whiskey in The Jar
Is she wearing sunglasses or are her eyes blackened out? Because sunglasses would be fine, but blacked out eyes would be creepy because it would imply she saw something she "shouldn't have."

Whiskey, I think it's just really bad lighting on the picture.

I vote sunglasses. I noticed that earlier, too.

I think this girl could really do with a bra.
+ August 17, 2008 06:02 PM +
Lady Guinevere
She isn't wearing a bra? I thought she was.
Hmm..maybe not with so much support?
+ August 17, 2008 06:35 PM +
mona lisa in the louvre
she's wearing a bra, Terrie, but probably one of those "Smart" bras, remember them, girls? did up in the front? totally no support. Holly, did you have one of those? i think we probably bought them at Zellers.
+ August 17, 2008 06:51 PM +
Tired in Bed
those "smart" bras have come a longggg way. the ones that fasten in the front are much better now.
but maybe they were always meant for the less "busty" girls.
p.s. to me, i just thought it was an embarrassing picture from the girl's past and years later she could laugh at with her friends. or maybe the giggle was sarcastic and the girl was mad that her friend kept the pictures all those years... even made it through prison with the picture.
p.s. what indicated that the person (who lost the picture) spent time in prison? these things are crucial for me.
+ August 17, 2008 08:52 PM +
Terrie-Is-So-Very in totally-unique-ville
I don't know what smart bras are, but if she's wearing a bra, she could use a better bra. She has a pretty nice set, might as well put them in a nice display case.
+ August 17, 2008 10:14 PM +
sweat in to the oldies
I'm guessing early 80's, having worn similar hair (bangs, no pigtails), top, belt and jeans. Looks like an urban, working class neighborhood, so maybe folks there drove older cars
+ August 18, 2008 09:42 AM +
that in there
why wear a bra and try to fool people into thinking your boobs are perfectly perky? how disappointed men must be when a chick takes off her bra and her tits sag down.

@ That in There:
"Do your boobs hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot? Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them over your shoulder like a Continental soldier?
Do your boobs hang low?"

Thank you and good-night, ladies and gentlemen.

Beldar, consum in g mass quantities.
Something's been bothering me about this picture all week. Nothing huge, really. Just.. WHY would whoever wrote that on the picture write it in the skinny little TOP margin of the picture, when there's all that space on the bottom?

WHY all the capital Hs and Gs, when nothing else is worthy of capitalization?

She needs to wear a bra.
+ August 20, 2008 01:17 AM +
baby basil in the herb garden
She's wearing one. It's just not very uplifting. Probably a sport bra, one of those little things made out of T-shirt fabric with elastic around the bottom. Doesn't hold up a thing. I should think they would be VERY uncomfortable to do sports in--all that bobbing.
