The Kid Already Went to the Store
FOUND by Ian Callahan
in Amherst, Massachusetts
I'm an RA in the sleepy west of the woody east. I found this note doing nightly rounds in a freshman hall. Since this is a place of learning, my guess is that the "stuff" was actually books.

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...
I think "stuff" meaning books, in a university, is highly unlikely.
An RA with a slightly deluded view of his charges? The anonymity of "the kid" doesn't exactly reak of an underground book circuit, does it?
I think the funniest bit about this is the claim that "stuff" equals books. From experience, if "stuff" does not equal alcohol, I would be surprised.
Ian was obviously making a joke when he said that the "stuff" was books... I guess they don't have sarcasm in Florida.
Am I the only one who thinks that the signature looks like "anus"?
No Sarah, i strongly concur
Good ol' sarcasm, throwing these guys off on a roundabout.
i'd have to say that "stuff" is definitely drugs, not alcohol. i've sent enough text messages and phone calls like this to know.
hey jessy, sure you have!
Give them the benefit of the doubt. Stuff could be chocolate bars or groceries. :) My 'stuff' always meant alcohol though.
I strongly agree with "stuff"=DRUGS My "stuff" always=pot.
My stuff is always alcohol. And I would always say "lets go grocery shopping"
I read 'stuff' as 'pot' (I mean, derrr, of course it is - she's gonna try to score tomorrow) but, funnily enough, my code for 'pot' was always 'book'. I was either 'borrowing a book' (getting it on credit), or 'returning the book' (paying what I owed). It was always the 'buying the book' that sounded dodgy. Who buys books off friends?
My stuff always consists of sanatry products, When i was underage for alcohol we referred to it as something random normally carrots, so no one knew, stuffs a crap code, everyone knows that

im a senior in college now, and stuff definitely means alcohol. freshmen year there were always issues with trying to get alcohol. if a kid already went to the store, so she has to ask someone else... it means ask someone else who is 21 or has an id to get them "stuff". i highly doubt its drugs, they wouldnt say he went to the store, theyd probably say something like "he doesnt have any more 'stuff' so ask someone else." and sanitary products? im sure "amy" and her "roomie" can easily get that themselves.
I don't know, i live not 15 minutes from amherst and i can pretty much garauntee, we've never had a problem getting booze, even in highschool. drugs i could quite easily believe, its a huge area for pot. but who knows, i've got some friends in college there now, i suppose i could ask around if anyone knows an amy in need of some stuff... ;P
I'm thinking "stuff" is probably maurijuana, etc.
God, of course the only person commenting from Cincinnati is used to buying drugs.
Haha.
But yeah, I think it's probably alcohol, people don't go to stores for drugs, and I think the issue was that the person they needed to buy the alcohol had already gone, and sure as hell wasn't going to go back.
Oh man, what if "store" is code for, like, the drug dealers place of business?
I'd bet anything "grocery store" is code and "stuff" is weed. I've never even heard of alchol being called stuff.
The 'store' is the dealer's home or where he hangs in the hood. The 'stuff' is probably, weed, booze, meth or crack. I know!
If there is a store that sells pot, I wanna know where it is! :)
Hmm, I would usually think that "stuff" meant drugs, but in this case I think it means alchohol. If it was drugs, then they wouldn't have to have someone go get it for them.
Stuff is def. illegal, that is all that matters! Alchohol or drugs is illegal for most freshmen, being that most freshmen are never 21!
But everyone knows that even freshman need to have a little fun sometimes....even if it is illegal
my thought was
stuff = pot, alcohol, condoms, or tampons.
The kid is their dealer, and writing he already went to the store means he already bought and sold out of what he had. Therefore they need to find and ask another dealer.
If it was alcohol they could easily ask him to go to another store. There is absolutely no way they are talking about tampons or other sanitary pads.
I also think the signature looks like 'anus'
This is hilarious. It's naive college kids thinking that the 1/8 ounce of pot they're trying to score is enough to draw the heat. As such, they've come up with this brilliant, never-before-seen, unbreakable code to throw off the narcs who have been assigned to the case. These kids are big time, and they're not fucking around.
when i lived in the dorm my freshman year of college, i would see notes posted asking if someone could get a ride to the store or if someone could pick something up for them because they didn't have a car. seems like that might be the issue here.
Nice Pixies reference =)
I think it's weird that it is addressed to "Roomie"~ Do you think she forgot her name? or is that some kind of cute lingo to match the rest of the note?
