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...
the dude in the tux is wearing fashionable pumps.
Is the guy on the ground being beaten with the light post? This is as confusing as yesterday's British parking note.
P-shaw! I could really use the magnify feature for this find, I don't have perfect eyesight and I've got blood in my alcohol system. What goes on here? Leisure suit on leisure suit violence?
David had just talked to Jennie. And finally, she'd said yes! He ws so happy as he ran down the sidewalk that he jumped up and grabbed a light pole intent on swinging around it just once a la Dannye Kaye. Sadly, the light pole had been damaged the day before and was a bit weak. David felt like Wile E. Coyote as the light pole broke at the base and he landed on the side walk with a fa-WUMP and a cloud of dust. Lucky for him, Burt saw it all happen and lended a hand.
Oh good! It's time for another picture! Magnify please!
It looks like the person on the ground is a woman trying to avoid a purse-snatching, and the guy with the light pole is threatening her with it. The policeman in the background is scratching his head in confusion. The woman in the white pantsuit is adjusting her sunglasses to better see the action. The guy behind the lamp looks like a second policeman. Magnify please!
I love picture Finds the best!!!
what a scene. It looks like the guy is riding the light post, and the dude in the tux (who is that behind those foster grants) ... dude looks like a lady. And he/she is wearing right on shoes.
I reckon this is a test shot from some seriously hardcore brutal porno. One Woman, two men, two cops and one big ass dildo.
I don't know, but it looks to me like the the cop's got one hand to his ear, trying to hear if the shots came from the grassy knoll or the book depository.
No, I have NOT parked on the lowered section of the sidewalk! Use your f*kin eyes! And put that thing down!!
What the hell could they be doing? It sortof looks like the guy fell of the seesaw. Even the guy in the background is scratching his head like WTF?
You guys are cracking me up.
I love the shadow of the fire escape on the building behind them in the sun.
Fire escapes are cool-looking. I like to photograph them.
Was this among vintage photos for sale in the vintage store? Or did Jennifer simply find it there? In a book? In a pocket? In a purse? On the floor? In a trash can?
I don't think those are cops. They look like summer US Air Force uniforms. The uniformed guy on the left appears to be wearing a 'garrison cap', cloth thing you wear fore and aft. The other guy a dress hat. They're just passing by. Why aren't there wires connecting the base of the lamp with the top?
When I first saw this I thought the cops had just beaten the poor fellow.
looks like the guy is using a giant meat tenderizer on the fellow on the curb . . . hmmm
I too would like to know the specifics of where this was found. if it was for sale in a vintage store, then it's not a real find! give us the scoop, jennifer spriggs!
Oh, I get it now. The light pole is the one that had the previous Find taped to it, and an irate customer is INSISTING he has his name written on the sidewalk before handing over his 75 cents.
Hello lamppost, what'cha knowing
I've come to watch your flowers growin'
Ain't cha got no rhymes for me?
Doo-it in doo doo, feeling groovy
Ba da da da da da da, feeling groovy
Hey now I'll have that tune in my head all day. Feelin groovy.
Hmmmmmmm, perhaps one or the other climbed it and it fell? I'm gonna go with...the man on the ground climbed the post, it fell and man #2 picked it up...ok that makes no sense...maybe a car hit it!
it kind of looks like the guy is straddeling the light post and riding it like one of those horse heads on a stick.
If the guys in charge say it's a find it's a find dammit.
So, the good wizard in the tux and pumps is battling the bad wizard riding the light post over the Bag of Power desperately clutched by the person in the middle, while the two hapless cops wonder if wizardry is in their jurisdiction.
That must be it. There's no other viable option.
The people on the top floor of the building have a lot of stairs to go down if there's a fire.
Goddamn.
I can't see much of the shadowy figures, but looks like someone is playing air guitar with a pole, or is it a saxophone? (Don't be silly, you can't play air guitar with a sax! You can have good sax with a guitar, though.)
Looks like street theatre to me. And the cameraman needs more lessons in lighting.
Looks like someone's assaulting Mr. Ferley with a giant prosthetic wang.
TOO SMALL!! This image should have been posted much larger.
Is that really a lightpost? It looks too small. And the guy looks like he is humping it. The guy on the ground looks like he just got up from a nap.
Looks like it might be a KODAK pic from the 70's!!!
I miss them pics, I do!!
I seen light posts that resemble this thing a lot. They are plastic. Looks like a game of ring around the light post that went terribly wrong.
Hilarious. I wish I knew what was going on!
Hahaha! I go to school with the Jennifer who found this! I think that counts as a find too. All have to ask her what context she found it in.
