Goal: Ross
FOUND by Tom in Ann Arbor, Michigan
Found this in my dorm. I'm really not sure what it means, but I love that it's on an apple Post-it.

Is Ross the sacrifice in some sort of apple-centric cult?

The reciever has to "make some scarifice" because s/he is on the makeup squad for the university play reprising "Scarface" and they have to get it right.

If "Ross" is the goal, maybe he's in the title role. Or perhaps this is written to the girl who's stalking Ross and her roomie is telling her that if she really wants to shadow him she's going to have to be willing to cut class.

It looks like the "You" in "You've" was traced over two or three times to make it bold. Maybe the writer was tiring of having to do everything for her friend.

If she had done this in Microsoft Word instead of handwriting it, she could have have hit "ctrl-B". But I guess her printer doesn't have an apple-shaped-Post-it tray, so it really wouldn't matter. Oh well... sometimes you have to make scarifices.

i really want "scarifice" to be a real word with a definition that is the antithesis to "sacrifice." anyone up for the dictionary game?

Sorry, Ross. There are dishes in the sink & laundry in the hamper; you'll have to forego the next level of Guitar Hero til later. Now get busy, you lazy bastard.

I don't know what the dictionary game is but hows about this?
scariface - an artful or crafty expedient involving ugly disguises; a strategem of misdirection through the application of latex skin

I wonder what she sacrificed on the way to her goal: Ross. (Adam, perhaps?)

Something is attempting to randomly connect in my mind.. Adam... Apples... Sacrifice...

ROSS?

Obviously, Ross is responsible for the Downfall of Man.
Thanks.
Thanks a LOT.

Back when I was a truck driver, companies were participating in a safety campaign that put GOAL! stickers on our sideview mirrors. GOAL stands for Get Out And Look.

GET OUT AND LOOK, ROSS!
you lazy bastard!

At first I thougth it said "you have to make some scary face when there is something for you to do"

My guess: she's scarificing (sic) her best friend, because she knows she's that boinking her best friend's boyfriend (that would be Ross) is more than likely a friend-losing offense. Oh well. Friends are a dime a dozen, and Ross is Freakin' HOTT, man!

You've got to make some scarifice when there is something for you to do...now where is that damn recipe? Ross said he loves the way I make scarifice....

Scarifice: adj.

"Scariness in an orifice."

Should be fun to come up with sentences to illustrate this word. Poor Ross.

I love the way Ross is written (such flair), which makes me think that the goal is to get Ross (whatever scarifice it takes), rather than dumping Ross.
+ August 24, 2008 12:37 PM +
My definition is..
Scarifice: A chronic skin disease that causes bubbling painful sores and scars.

I'm pretty sure G-d forbade scarifice when he sent Moses down with the stone tablets and all. Poor Ross, still following the rules of Baal off of that apple the snake gave Eve. Poor, doomed, scarified Ross.

No game playing here: isn't a scarifice what you get when you scarify something ... as in scratching it so as to leave a scar ... as in tribal beauty markings ... body mod ... rather than a tattoo?

It's them frat dudes in Ann Arbor marking each other for life. Look out!

I know it isn't, but out of context this seems like Engrish. The way it is completely random but tries to make sense... and the punctuation. It looks like an exclamation point after the word "do". Lots of those in Engrish.

That is so weird! My goal is Ross too!

How cool is that?!

But I'm a little worried. Does scarifice require permanent disfiguration of some sort?

Oh well...

First I thought this was some Scarifice reference. Ross is the guy Tony Montana has to off in order to get out of the detention camp "I kill a communist for fun, but for a green card, I gonna carve Ross up real nice."

Then I realized Ross wrote the note. He left the goal blank for his slacker friend to fill in.

This note is probably referring to the Ross School of Business at Michigan. Since you apply during your freshman year, students go crazy trying to get in. And they stay crazy once they are there...I know from experience.

I can imagine this was written by a mother to a daughter, or by a friend to a girl friend. This girl has some weight problems, and the post-it was on the fridge :) Come on girl, let's have an apple instead of ice cream, Ross is going to appreciate your scarifice after a while!

Ross is the Michigan business school. I imagine this is someone who does not speak very good English and misspelled sacrifice.
