Cease and Desist
FOUND by Peter Moyes
I am so glad to have come across your magazine. I thought I was pretty alone in my fascination with the odd things one comes across when one takes the time to look. I have a number of things to share, including a wide assortment of public art. There are at least two people downtown doing some odd things. I've found Tibetan runes (I think) inscribed in chalk on the sidewalk, oddly perched cigarette packs, and some pretty interesting telephone art. Here is one of my favorite notes.

This is crazy because I used to see these same notes up around midtown and i had a collection going for a while because they were so interesting. they had the same message written in different ways.
I love this find! I have seen every single find on this site and this is my favorite. I printed it out and posted it outside my cubicle.
"Animals are not made of hate".... that's awesome. Why don't I ever find stuff like that?
So disturbing. But, strangely I love it.
Animals are not made of hate, they are made of meat!
I used to work in my congresswoman's office, and we used to get occasional notes from crazy people ranting for pages about aliens and things. This handwriting looks like those crazy people's handwriting, and the actual content of the note confirms that for me.
It's fun to imagine being the sort of person who would write this note. Stop astral traveling!
i knew you were going to say that
This oughta show the psychic underworld what's what.
Whoever wrote this note has men tal issues. And "amy in the kitchen" that's mean. Animals cant help being made of meat. You're made of meat too. Animals dont like being eaten and neither would you.
I'm sure grass doesn't enjoy being eaten (alive, I might add), but cows don't enjoy dying of starvation, and neither do I. Also, it's the animals' fault for being so darn tasty, especially with A-1 sauce.
Sirloin steaks cooked medium rare and smothered in sauce are not made of hate!
Actually, Amy quite enjoys being eaten...
This sounds exactly like something my friend Jenn would say. And it was posted on my birthday, too. I'll have to ask her if she did this on purpose as a surprise for me.
As far as animals go, the ones that are made of pepperoni are my personal favorites.
Rhapsody your comment made my day I laughed for about 5 minutes ,freaked out the customers wait thats funny too!
Forget it! Astral traveling and molesting animals is what I do, and I'm damn good at it! Mind your own business.
I agree TaraLin. Rhapsodys comment was hilarious! But I also got a giggle out of Franks quick-witted, if crude, reply! Keep them coming people!
"Cease and Desist!" I love it!
(if I was of the psychic underworld, I'd be scared right now...)
so, if a cow was full of hate, and you ate that cow... would you be full of hate? or would you just be full of burger?
HAH! I wrote this on a piece of paper the other day and stuck it next to my friend when she wasn't looking... she freaked out to say the least! xx
Paranoid schizophrenics can be highly creative writers. Do a Google search on "mind control" if you would like to read more. Fascinating.
I completely agree with the sentiment expressed in this note, and my first impulse upon reading it was to print it, make hundreds of copies, and post it all over my town.
Pete - found this looking for your e-mail just to wish you a happy Whole Earth Festival. I won't be there, but was sentimentally cruising the web site and came across a reminder of you dubbing me patron saint of focus and essential frivolity. Pinned it up - my find for the day. End essentially frivolous break, re-focus, but happier. Thank you.
Ahh. Brings back many fond memories of encounters with troubled souls at Greyhound stations.
Animals are too made of hate. That's why we love them so much.
Have you ever looked into the eyes of a wild deer at close range? Hate.
The neighbor's dog barking over the fence? What is that if not pure hate?
Your cat shitting in the laundry because you aren't completely worshipping it? That's a very special kind of hate.
Visit a zoo? Bored hate.
Watch Animal Planet? Celebrity hate.
A bullfight or dog race or rodeo? Confused hate.
but it's all hate, and that's all the animals have to give. still, don't molest them anyway, that's gross.
blackbird- hateburgers. That's what you'd be full of.
i dont think this person is schizophrenic. probably just a psychedelic explorer. astral projection is when you leave your body and your spirit moves around the actual world. something like that. this person was probably tripping.
To eat or not to eat.... that is the question.
Then again, vegetarians ARE eating the rainforests... http://www.threadless.com/product/329/Vegetarians_a
This note reminds me an awful lot of the writings of the late, great Francis E. Dec, Esquire. Do a websearch on him if you don't know who he was. I wonder if that "astral traveling" is being done of behalf of the Worldwide Mad Deadly Gangster Computer God..?
It's nuts like this that give those of us who actually do astral travel a bad name.
To eat or not to eat.... that is the question.
"Then again, vegetarians ARE eating the rainforests... http://www.threadless.com/product/329/Vegetarians_a
...and the meat industry cuts down much more trees to create grazing pastures for cows.
don't make ignorant claims.
Dear Writer:
I don't do it to deceive, I do it to enlighten.
Your whole family is made out of meat. ;)
Myself, I am only made out of ham.
Actually since god is love and has no substance the opposite of love must be substance therefore hate is substance. Since animals have substance, animals are made out of hate; QED.
B-but the ham..?
BAHAHAHAAAA the last several comments have made my life complete.
Heh heh... that find should be on a t-shirt.
Olives: I love my hate medium rare...
Rex- your by far have the best insight to animal hate! I love it. I can't stop laughing. This crazy site always brings a little cheer to my day!
Hhmmmm, alls I got is lovin, so therefore I am god? Bow down and worship me all you tasty meats, I am your God! mmmmm, yes, hate tastes so good...and you know what they say: hate is a dish best served hot...with gravy and potatoes.
I love this. I have it saved as a full page bitmap for sending to a random printer once and a while all over my office.
I once had a tuna sandwich that was made of hate. I was spewing hate for the next three days.
We've received letters like this where I work in the same odd large handwriting, from people who are a bit, ahem, disturbed. At least this one has a message. Sort of.
We all better protect our astral asses!
This looks like and sounds exactly like something this crazy vegan homeless guy in my town writes. He scribbles his disconnected thoughts on veganism/vegetarianism, astronomy, botany, etc. and passes them out at the shopping centers. My favorite bit of wisdom from him has been "Now=...OW!"
oh i used to see these everywhere! i actually had one of the same type that was part of a series left around midtown - each one had an arrow pointing you towards the next one. i wish i could remember more clearly what it said... i lost it in a breakup and subsequent quick move. i was more sad about losing that than about the breakup!
i also lost a few tiny little paintings i found around the grid propped up at the base of telephone poles. wish i still had 'em..
And here I was believing that all animals were made of hate. Silly me.
I just wanted to say that my aunt about 4 years ago decided that there were men from different generations astral traveling to her to molest her. For months she would sit on ice packs so they couldn't get to her butt...to this day every picture you have of my aunt she is sitting with her hand up to avoid the men for getting into her...Wierd huh
I agree that is weird Bethany, but also sadly fasinating. Where exactly did she place her hand to avoid the astral traveling men? Odd too that she thought an ice pack under her bottom would protect her, as if the astral travelers liked only anal sex or they didn't realize women have a more convenient "entrance" in the front of their bodies. Hope you don't think I'm making light of your Aunt's mental state. I'm not, these are just some thoughts that occured to me.
And to whoever is reading this and wondering if this is the same smallbear who just(Feburary 15th, 2008 Find) chastised people for talking back and forth with each other and not just commenting on the find. It is and yes I know I've just made a hypocrite out of myself. In my defence I was just tired of not being able to comment because so many people had commented already that mine would be so far down the list that no one would ever read it.
Smallbear, a lot of us read all the way to the end, and even come back the next day to see if anything new has been added. Sometimes there's even a late night party going on in the comments section! So don't be a party pooper, and don't be intimidated. C'mon, join in!
8-)
Yes, animals are made of meat, not hate. Also, Soylent Green is people!
This note reminds me, I need to call my astral travel agent to see if I can get a better rate.
Sorry, Jaydee...last time I checked, grass didn't have a central nervous system, so I doubt it has the capacity to feel any pain being eaten alive.
Not to make any wild speculations, or anything. ;)
Awesome note. Crazy? Maybe. Someone acting koo koo kooky? Much more likely. Most of all I simply had to post this story. Amy in the kitchen said "Animals are not made of hate, they are made of meat!" And then Jade in a chair said, "Animals cant help being made of meat. You're made of meat too. Animals dont like being eaten and neither would you."
So true my friend. Now everybody read this short story. It was nominated for the 1991 Nebula Award. It's very short.
http://baetzler.de/humor/meat_beings.html
it's called "They're made out of meat"
Ultrajones, thanks for the link to that short story. Quite hilarious, and perfect for this Find and its comments!
