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...
Here's hoping these are all meant to be used together! The thought of some guy in his boxers, brushing his teeth with an electric toothbrush while reading hamlet... kinda disgusts me a bit.
OOPS! I meant to type "not all meant to be used together." lol That's a Freudian slip!
It's always good to keep a spare Hamlet around, you know, for emergencies.
Vibrator, Homework, next day necessities. Well done list maker. Hope it was as good as it could be.
Something for brain, body and spirit. Guess that covers it.
Which one of these is not like the other?
sleepover!!!!
I'm SO glad that Hamlet is an essential. At least for some people it is. Sigh...
The first letters of the words are an anagram of bath. You read in the bath, you put your boxers on and brush your teeth after your bath, but you mustn't put batteries in the bath.
Hamlet could refer to a small ham, which would explain the need for the electric toothbrush, but not the boxers . . .
HMMMMMMMMMM?? My vibrator takes 2 double D's...
The double A's are probably for their remote.
Last minute items for vacation. Batteries for the electric shaver, or maybe, if the kid's oldschool, for a discman to listen to on the drive. Hamlet for some beach/cabin/hotel reading, and who doesn't want clean undies and a fresh toothbrush when traveling?
Prosaic (can I say that in a comment that includes 'Hamlet'?), I know, but this looks like so many lists my kids used to make in their high school years of stuff they needed to remember before a weekend away, or the last minute things they had to remember to pack in the morning, or even a shopping list before heading off to Target or Venture [except that they pronounced them as "Tar-zhay" or "Ven-tois" to make the stores sound more upscale, in that self-consciously ironic sort of way they had]
Thanks for the memories.
@ girl in a cube: You must be young! You said 'old school' referring to a Discman? I'm thinking a Walkman. My father would think reel-to-reel tape, and my grandfather would think wax cylinder.
The traditional Halloween treat: bat fries.
@ whiskey...
Doesn't disgust me! I was thinking a guy in his boxers reading hamlet with sparkling clean teeth would be a helluva turn on...when someone finds him, let me know.
@Miss Scarlett
What about a slim, slightly bearded 24-year-old reading The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Chabon in blue boxer-briefs and thin, black-rimmed glasses who is also a fan of oral hygeine?
2 B or not 2 B
I'll fight you for him, Miss Scarlett.....
While how we listen to music has changed through the generations (referring to comments by Geek and Girl) some things don't change so much. Hamlet, clean underwear and toothbrushes, for example.
and dont forget Hamlet!
Darkshine and Miss Scarlett, maybe we could share? I bagsy Saturday and Sunday!
Maybe the "hamlet" (little ham) is to feed the "boxers" (the puppy dogs)?
In that case "AAbateries" would likely be 'abatoir' spelled incorrectly.
...and I got nothin' for "toothbrush" in this interpretation. (something to do with cleaning the meat or the dogs, maybe)
Obviously a secret message -
the anagram of this is
boxturtle hero beats hare obama shits
however to be fair it could also be
obama hare beats boxturtle hero shits
(it wouldn't work if they'd spelled batteries correctly)
Well, I always need new boxers after I read Hamlet.
considering the misspelling of batteries, I believe the list author misspelled another word. S/he needs a HELMET. Not Hamlet.
Maybe it's someone who lives at college, and they are taking a Shakespeare class, but while they're out, they might as well get some other stuff they need too, right?
WHOA, sorry about that awful run on sentence.
XP
a hamlet is a ham & chesse omelet.
That's great. Dental hygiene, great taste in literature and my favorite kind of underpants.
Too bad this person can't spell.
Wow, wild talk in here today! Who'da thunk we could have so much fun with a lamesauce shopping list.
Effie, in the US they don't bagsy things but they do call dibs. As in "dibs on Hamlet." Or "I got dibs!"
Librarian, we used to refer to J C Penney's as "The little French tailor, Jacques Pennay."
That's all you need for English Lit at uni.
I think the older guy in the other Find for today taught English Lit. ... Of course, the rumor back then was that he pretty much did everything lit.
Hamburger Hamlet...used to eat there all the time when I was young.
p.s.The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay is a really good story..hope you are enjoying it, Reading. The Yiddish Policemen's Union by the same author is really good, too.
"Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
or something like that
"Somethings fishy in Denmark, and we're gonna find it!"
"Oh boy, we're going to Denmark!"
100 points to the person who can tell me where those lines are from!
@ reading in his undies...
I'll take you....
All you other ladies...back off I called him first and I dont like to share! But you Mr...you call me!
@ Miss Scarlett
You've got me. How about dinner this Friday? Where would you like to go?
@ fooch in 1981
I am quite enjoying Kavalier & Clay. Michael Chabon is my favorite author. So far I have read Mysteries of Pittsburgh, Wonder Boys, Werewolves In Their Youth, A Model World and parts of Maps and Legends. I also have a subscription to Details Magazine just for his monthly column. He writes some really fantastic stories in there. Yiddish is next on my list. I have seen him twice and have autographed 1st editions of K&C and YPU. I'm glad to hear there are other fans there.
Also check out Philip Roth. I read American Pastoral over the summer and can't wait to read more of his stuff.
I'm all up for it Efie, I'll make some KoolAid pie.....
@ Reading in your undies...haha...since this is the internet...I would like to go to morrocco for dinner...because I suck at making decent couscous...what can you do for me...
