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...
Any day that starts with Europe's Final Countdown and includes Dr Phil AND God? I'm so there.
(so much good stuff. Kids appointment? because of the A-D-D? Rave Days? are we getting some E to go with the ADD?)
what's with all the Austin, TX and Australian Finds these days?
This sounds like a challenge from one stand up to another "In your show you must talk about these 8 things". Apparently Cole Porter wrote Miss Otis Regrets after someone at a dinner party challenged him to write a song around whatever the next person to enter the room said first, and it was the maid with that message!
I think 'kid finger' would be a great name for a DJ.
actually "kid finger" sounds more the pet name Gramps has for his index finger... the same one he requests to be pulled.
Seems to me one could remember the list without having written it down (I couldn't, but the mythical "one" could). This way:
Final countdown (think of counting on fingers);
kid finger story (run with idea of kids);
kids app (app has similar letter pattern as ...);
ADD (makes me think of doctors);
DR. Phil (homonym for 'fill [up car gas tank]')
Car dealers (and their wild raving commercials)
Rave days (all our days begin and end with ...)
God!
...OR was this really a "shopping list" and these were to create images in the writer's mind for things to buy? But what?
I think this is a list of topics some comedian used for his or her act.
Yay for all the finds from Texas! Maybe that will inspire me to submit mine! (or at least inspire me to figure out my scanner...)
(*don't mind me: I'm just waiting for Smallbear to get here and entertain us with a paragraph, perhaps even a short story, encompassing all of the concepts on the chopping liszt.*)
Kid Finger sounds like it could be a band- some sort of cross between Kid Rock and Bad Finger??? (LOL)
@ mlm... Do it.. do it... do it...
what's the issue with your scanner? Maybe someone here can help you figure it out. (we wanna see your Finds!!)
There are some comedy clubs that take suggestions from the audience... usually they're comedy troupes that do skits, sort of like Whose Line is it Anyway? It's always best to come to one of these prepared because what you think of off the top of your head can be pretty lame. :P
To I'm here, but not signing in: I bet you meant to type 'Chopin Liszt'.
@ P.I. JOHN- I think I'm leaning towards what you said....some topics to talk about when his/her turn to get up on stage.
Excellent list, Librarian!!!!!!
That's how i always write my Chopin Liszt, when shopping for paintings. I find that i get the Mozart for my Monet that way. That's important when you're as Baroque as I am.I hope you can Handel that.
@mlm... screw the scanner, just take a really good photo of your finds, then attach it to the e-mail. Mine was posted, so it musta worked for me.
kid finger has me picturing mine when they get a boogie but it's totally disgusting to them, so they run around with their finger sticking up, sloppy snotty rubbery booger flapping in the wind, straight to me to slay the horrible beast.
Hey Brain Problem: when was your Find posted?
Hi everyone. Much to my surprise none of those previous posters was me!
Was about to say 'waiting for Smallbear' and 'Chopin Liszt' but you're all there already.
Definitely a standup comedian's aide-memoire for his act.
I was thinking Alexei Sayle or Ross Noble but I don't suppose either of those guys needs to write anything down.
Strange manic handwriting (all capital Rs) would suggest a funny person. Or perhaps a female funny person??
(Josie??)
@ i'm not in any knowledge of anyth in g
Your comment had me cracking up at work. I love puns!
@brain problem--I did take a picture of it before I read the instructions that said "No pictures". Do you have connections at Found that posted your picture, even though it's clearly against the rules?:) No, seriously, what did you have posted? I want to see!!
Actually, I HAD to take a picture of it because it's not a piece of paper and it wouldn't fit in the scanner. The lid won't close. My main question is, do you open a program to scan the item into, (if that makes sense)or do you just find your scanner in the programs on your computer and click on it and take it from there? I know, I sound like such a computer newbie, but I'm not! Really! I have just never used a scanner before.
Just keeping it weird. Oh, and Jason knows most everyone in Austin, Texas
@mlm and maybe I wasn't paying attention...
Mine is Found #869 or search by Glenda and Punkin.
Either I didn't read the directions (most likely the case) or the FOUND guys didn't know it was a picture of a find, because I don't know them well enough to garner any favors. Wish I did, though. Those boys are darn cute!
@Brain Problem (or Tia)--That is soooo funny that you keep it in your family album! Keep everyone on their toes.
@Flargy- Reading Brain Problem's post #869, I came across your "no postage required" idea and I almost fell out of my desk chair laughing! My husband likes to mess with telemarketers in a similar fashion.
@Pepper--I wish I lived in Austin. It is one of my favorite towns, although the cost of living is sky-high. When you come a little bit north, the costs become more reasonable...
That's about the most random list I've ever seen
re:I'm here, but I'm not signing in .
(*don't mind me: I'm just waiting for Smallbear to get here and entertain us with a paragraph, perhaps even a short story, encompassing all of the concepts on the chopping liszt.*)
No, Cubby! We want jokes!
Final Countdown = GOB from Arrested Development.
Where is Smallbear?
So, I imagine that a budding comedian was sitting at a comedy club and listening to the act, while writing his/her own line up just in case the one on stage suddenly fell over and there was a need for a replacement.
It is always good to be prepared.
@typing slowly....
you're welcome. Hope you didn't snort coffee out of your nose.
