Ten Items
FOUND by Laura Cali
in Rockville Centre, New York
Found on the floor at a bar. This isn't the most exciting found note, but I thought the choice of paper was funny.

Do YOU need a stud?
No, but I need some harispari. (not quite as final as Hari Kari.)
*yawn*
Ok, I get it now. Whoever Jason left on duty at Found while he went on vacation is angry that they've got stuck with summer work and is just taking the lamest Finds out of the huge boxes of yet-unpublished stuff to punish everyone.
I've sent better finds than this in, myself. And I know Mona has.
Look out, little dog; a giant dog's after you.
Jolene: Sorry, babe; you're an afterthought.
el guapo.. i love you.. i knew you'd come back.
the ratio of product:edibles is outstanding.
Boxers ... briefs ... boxers ... briefs.
This list is more about lookin' good than about eatin' right.
BTW, did you know that Dolly Parton's 1974 song 'Jolene' "is ranked #217 on the Rolling Stone magazine's list of 'the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time'."? (acc. to Wikipedia) Hey! Maybe Dolly dropped this list?
In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down or cut him
til he cried out in his anger and his shame
I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter still remains
Yes he still remains
Li la li...
It's Boxman's best friend!

What condition were they hoping to find.
Mint?
Uncirculated?
Poor?
I bet all those items on the list are for the Boxers. They have to be clean, fed, washed and finally, flossed!
good?
running?
as is?
Rolling Stone ranked Simon and Garfunkle's "The Boxer" #105 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Screw Dolly!
Hmmm, I wonder if Bread has any songs on that list?
"Boxer, I'm-a want you?"
"If a Boxer Paints a Thousand Words?"
Ok - I'm not at the top of my game today...maybe if I take a nice nap.
My doggie's half boxer. Half brief. Oh, no - wait, half lab.
*sigh* I love Simon & Garfunkel. So now I have an internet crush on feeling in coherent.
Doesn't take much, does it?
Harried mom, thinking, 'can't forget to pick up Jolene from preschool, like I did last week!'
Does anybody name their kid Jolene any more?
I like the name Jolene.
Hmmm... from Simon and Garfunky to Bread? (word association time.. and damn, I can't think of a thing, except for any song by BREAD makes me think of Leaving on a Jet Plane.)
(Alan, did you get your note on the Sincerely Mary Find about "should I stay or should I go"?
Bread should make you think of peanut butter and Jet Plane should make you think of Almond Joy. Get it?
Otherwise I can't see how you got from Bread to Jet Plane.
'Leaving on a Jet Plane' was by John Denver.
Thank God I'm a country boy.
@ Curious... I'm flattered (blush)
Chrome - yes I did - now I need to find the time to watch it.
'Leaving on a Jet Plane' was Peter, Paul and Mary (I think)
As long as we're mentioning lame music - how about 'Mandy' by Barry Manilow?
It was about his dog...perhaps a boxer?
No Wait...
It was Peter, Paul, and Mary (Denver covered it.)
Ah... Alan beat me to my own correction
@Curious - More importantly - does anyone name their kid "Dental Floss Jolene' anymore?
@ Alan: I know what I'll be singing the rest of the day...
I'm standing on the edge of time
I Walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
The tears are in my mind
And nothing is rhyming, oh Mandy.
Maybe the Anniversary Dino's name is Mandy and the Tiger walked away...
Grrrrr!
Dental Floss Jolene the dentist's buck-toothed daughter.
(Ok I swear if I see one more list with incorrectly spelled items:Ketsup? jel? wtf? I am going to run screaming out of the Found Universe!! *pant pant* C'mon doesn't anybody know how to spell simple words out there in reality?)
@ Alan and @ Incoherent ... You'e BOTH right!
'Leaving on a Jet Plane' was "written by John Denver in 1967 ... and recorded by the Mitchell Trio that year. ... Other artists recorded the song in 1967, including Spanky & Our Gang and Peter, Paul and Mary on Album 1700. It did not become a hit until Peter, Paul and Mary released it as a single in 1969." (source of all true Internet knowledge: Wikipedia)
Denver covered his own song in 1969 on his debut album. (same source of all true knowledge)
Dr. Seuss homage of the day:
Big boxer,
Little boxer.
Box, box, box.
Two brown and white dogs
Wearing long white sox.
Going with the grooming theme of the right column, I think "Jolene" is Jolen Creme Bleach, used to make the hirsuteness of m'lady's upper lip less noticeable.
@Jan--I think you're right! I have been wondering what "Jolene" could have been all day!
@Librarian--How clever! I can't help but love Dr. Seuss, especially when I read his books to my 4 year old almost every night!
And the spelling of "ketsup" is a combination of the ever-popular "ketchup" and the lesser-known "catsup". Still, there is no such word....
I think it's awfully sweet that someone made the boxer's high school yearbook picture into a notepad.
Eggs! I guess my birthday present today is your presence. Too bad your comment sucks balls!
Hi!
"Raisin' my lonely Dental Floss...."
Nice. Real nice, TT. I make a return appearance and I'm greeted with a slap in the kisser. You smite me just because I can't keep up with all these new fangled comment styles that all you folks are using. Sounds like something Jo from Aslut would say to me. You remember her?
Happy fuckin' birthday to you. Hope you have fun blowin' some candles out with Geddy Lee.
Well the boxer/music comments made me think of Leonard Cohen's " I'm your man ". "If you wanna boxer... I'll step in the ring for you lalala.. " I love Leonard Cohen.
I'm sorry Eggy. Just giving you the same shit that you have come to expect. Geddy sends kisses and Neil Peart sends lyrics about mythology.
Happy Birthday, Turbo!
my mother is sitting next to me and she says "Jolene" is a brand of womans facial hair remover. i'm not sure why she knows that....she is french though!
1987. old paper!
elime1976 your mum is almost correct. it is hair facial hair bleach and any pubescent girl who has used it knows it sucks to have to, and sucks even more to have to buy more.
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Me, too, Tang.
Where, where is my gypsy wife tonight?
{Over here, dude.)
Yeah, she changed the lock on my back door,
now my key won't fit no more.
Move it on over, rock it on over,
move over little dog, the big old dog is movin' in.
Dearest anony in mouse,
It sucks when you're menopausal, too.
My guess is that a young mother (wife to a renowned boxer trainer who teaches only in german, "Sprechen!")was writing out a list, and had just made it to "milk" before getting distracted by her 7yr old son wanting to help.. hence ketsup vs. ketchup; and the 7 yr old was in an amorous mood, wanting to make fit his appearance with floss, proper hair care, and of course protein for his skin with the chicken, to impress his beloved jolene... who always has flowers in her hair..
Does anyone read this so late at night?
@Tang: Leonard Cohen is awesome. The recent movie, "I'm Your Man" was soooooo good (had to buy the soundtrack)
BTW, Lady Guinevere, that song is now STUCK in my head (the Natalie Merchant cover).
no more lists! ever!
@sick in tired, you must be right.
