If you are gay in any way...

How many ways are there?

This flyer makes me laugh. I especially like the colors at the bottom. (I wanna say Rasta, but I don't know what I'm talkin' about. Plus I'm PUI.)

Hmmm...should be "Freeloader Man"?

Chrome:Careful babe. Friends don't let friends post drunk. Oh go ahead. I forget you still got 2 hours of birthday left! HBD CT! <3

Happy birfday, Chrome!

wonder in g what kind of woman would respond. Seriuosly.
I am not a number.. I am a FREE MAN!!

(dark ski ned.)

Writes poetry, is ambitious, (obviously.) likes to listen to 2 Pac (is that the same as Tupac? I need to know.)

Agent Ling Hi in the Orient Express
Chrome Toaster, you are correct that these are the colors of the Rastafarians. Red is the blood of all living things, yellow is the sun and green is the earth.

In the immortal words of Bob Marley: "Don't worry. Be happy."



(Oh be quiet. I know he didn't sing that. It's an inside joke.)

What if I'm gay in a happy way ie enjoy a good frolic?

What if Braid wants his nice body back? Punctuation would help.

No bisexual women? No threesomes? Dude doesn't know what he's missing.

Actually, neither do I... but it seems like he's cutting out a lot of fun potential.

I've never met an ambitious poet. Oh, wait - whatshisname - David Whyte. I've never met him either, but he teaches leadership, which is kind of ambitious.

At first I though that was the Mexican Flag. Then when I read braids I remembered the Rastafarian thing. We actually have a lot of Jamaicans here. This is a good find except it was taken off a wall and some will technically think it was not found. Found on wall though.

hmmm i am gay in some ways, in that i really like to laugh and frolic.
i guess this dark ski ned man does not want me.

Supposed to be doing laundry in Denial
So.. if it had fallen on the ground beside the telephone pole, it would have been found. Since it was still attached (assuming) then it is not a true found? Is there a guide that actually defines the exact way that something can be found? If I was to be cleaning my own house, and "found" something that I had lost is it still a find? Help here please.

PS, instead of poetry, I keep reading poetr 1/3 and am bitious. Also, I went to school with Amen. He was quite nice. Did someone kidnap him?
+ April 12, 2008 09:05 AM +
should have read where it was found in California first
Alright, so I missed that was found posted to the wall. Erase that, insert "If it had fallen on the ground, instead of on the wall"

And Amen should have been Aman.

Clover in happy freedom
This man deserves to be happy. At least he's already free. I hope he finds what he's looking for.
+ April 12, 2008 09:54 AM +
brain problem situation in my head
What does trick free and sucker free mean? Like STDs? Trichomoniasis free? Does he mean he doesn't have it, or you can get it from him, free of charge?

I think that Eric is looking for another man who's "not gay" but likes having sex with men, but really, he's "not gay" just likes having sex with men, that's not gay. He's just on the "dl"

Happy Birthdays SB & CT!
+ April 12, 2008 11:30 AM +
hmm..
Why is the one i not capitalized? Just that one.
And there's no number to call. Good luck Eric.

@Smallbear, happy birthday weekend! Next year, shoot for celebrating the whole week. (I did this year and it was great!) If you're the only one in your circle of bears with a birthday this month, celebrate the whole month!

And don't forget to invite Eric because I bet he's got a good supply line for ganja and rum.

Narnian Nymph in in search of direction
This find reminds me of Fiddler on the Roof when the girls are singing about the man they want to marry, and the matchmaker says, "He's a nice man, a good man" and he's only 60!

I laughed at 'gay in any way' too!

Chromey, happy birthday! A Toast to the Toaster!
And to anyone else celebrating anything special.

I too wondered about being "gay in any way." Then I got stuck with Paul Simon's "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" spinnning in my head.

Anybody who brags on themselves to this degree makes me suspicious. If he's so wonderful, why does he have to post a "lonely hearts ad"--on the wall of a train? How desperate are we, mon?

Happy, happy birthday to: Chromey, Smallbear,
David Cassidy, David Letterman and my friend Linda and anyone else I may have missed...

Tax time is a drag!

Cheers!

I'm glad that he's finally free of all those leeches.

(psst, thanks to all the Found Friends who sent bday greetings and wishes, and special HAPPY [now belated] b-day to Smallbear, who shares my bday, and apparently my generation, too...?)

Clover in David Cassidy's memory
It was David Cassidy's birthday too? I met him once, a really long time ago. Maybe he is Smallbear, really. Oh yeah, there are probably alot more people who have birthdays on April 11.

Clover, I swear, you have met everyone!

whatscookin in the kitchen
In the gay community, doesn't "trick free" mean the person has never done it "Harry Houdini-style"?
+ April 12, 2008 07:18 PM +
I met Michael Jordan once.
OK now I have to know. I thought I knew it all but what is Harry Houdini style? I'm gonna ask Matt.

Marie in C-ville, VA
I love this find!

Nightingale, you hit it on the nail with Free LOADER. Then it all makes sense! Or Sensimillia! (sp?)

Why would you call if you were not looking for a man???

From the Urban Dictionary (I was too curious)

Sucker Free
A grouping of people, ie a group of friends, a gang, or an entire city; consisting of 100% real personality and absolutely no marks, buckets, or posers. Being sucker free means that no one can talk shit, cause you know that there aint anything that they could talk shit about. Originally used by SF Bay Area rap artists in the early 90's.

Trick Free - there are too many definitions - he may be referring to the lady he does not want.

+ April 12, 2008 10:21 PM +
Clover in the Lawn
Yes, Nightingale, I have met everyone. Except you, not yet anyhow!

And why would you call if you weren't looking for a man???? Marie has a point. That's crazy (and for some reason it's just cracking me up!)

The Captain in Tenille

that urban dictionary drives me crazy. you look up sucker free.. and then you have to look up "buckets".. and then...
+ April 13, 2008 12:09 AM +
Terrie-Is-So-Very in totally-unique-ville
I don't know about the person who contributed that entry, but where I live a 'bucket' is a shitty car.
+ April 13, 2008 12:18 AM +
running in circles
I would have definetly written LOOKING FOR A MAN right under where it said FREE MAN. and left this hanging where it was found. (I would have of course ripped the bottom part about not calling if you are gay in anyway off, so it didn't confuse anyone)

Does this mean you don't have to pay for him, or that he's recenty been released from some sort of bondage?

tooo many choices for the specific intent of the word "Bucket." fuckit.

Sarah in B'ham
I don't understand the "not looking for a man" thing. Has he run into problems with this? It's like, if there was an ad for vacuums that said "if you are not interested in buying a vacuum then don't bother."
