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...
yikes.
My dear boy, where did you leave your book that this could be put in it? I would find it most disturbing...a table saw stalker?
Do you deal with a table saw on a daily basis? I'd stay away from it for awhile if I were you.
yowza. My hubby lost the tip of his ring finger to a table saw. Poor Bell.
(cover) I love fingers (inside) I'm just not attracted to them.
Just looking at it hurts.
I wonder what minor tragedy is depicted on the back.. maybe Pete's toes before the axe, Pete's toes after the axe.
When I first saw the picture, I thought it was illustrating what a rat had done..you know, gnawing on someone's finger...yuck.
Nice smiley-face next to the hand
I love fingers and I love finger sandwiches, but I don't like it when people give me the finger.
Mona - when your hubby lost his fingertip - did you stand by idly saying "I love fingers." like the woman in the picture?
Strangely enough, Alan, that's exactly what i did. I should have thought to mention that.
as it happened, i left emerg about 20 minutes before he got there, having stabbed my hand with a large knife, trying to cut open a butternut squash. I don't know why he had no sympathy for my two whole stitches. :-(
oh, and btw, hands are very hard to draw. Unless this is a tracing of a hand. It's hard to get the proportions and equal distances b/w fingers, etc etc. That's why cartoon people only have 4 digits.
(Alan, I love it when I get the finger.)
and i get accused of dragging everyone into the gutter....
Now that's a hell of a hangnail!
Apparantly, getting the tip of your finger cut off by a table saw also causes you to grow mass amounts of hair in it's place. Strange...
The finger labeled "after table saw" looks perfectly healthy to me. And is it just me, or does the object labeled "table saw" look exactly like a finger on a hand?
This person's labeling system is all fucked up.
Good thing it wasn't the hole finger. Hole is spelled correctly.
@pardon me, no, no, she said she likes getting the finger, not getting fingered.
@Flargy: The labeling system is actual ok. The artist is saying that Bill uses a table saw which looks like a hand with a mutilated finger, and that said table saw had no effect on his fingers.
thank you for clarifying, John. You're so clever.
ummm....yeah...uh..night in gale?
I...uh...
Well, I guess it's just different for girls.
It looks like some animal took a bite out of the finger instead of a table saw slicing it off! The artist really needs to work on his perspective. (heehee) And the woman looks like she has a little bitty mustache under nose. Either that, or two boogers have escaped.
Thanks, John. You must be some kind of pictocryptographer.
Mona - the more I think about it - I'm concerned that we need to keep you away from sharp objects.
I bet Bell was really pissed off about this accident, it totally screwed up her manicure.
On a side note, does anyone have any good seven syllable words? So far I've got antidiscrimination. 227
Sorry. That 227 is the answer to the spam question of the day.
it actually looks like the drawing at the right is MUNCHING on a finger RIGHT NOW!
I think it's BILL, not bell. There's a dot above the I. It's just a stupid, loopy I that looks like an E.
unrealistically
impenetrability
apologetically
inaccessibility
ineligibility
libertarianism
compartmentalization
There you go, Lucky!
I really like you...
you 9.5 fingered freak
You'll get my table saw when you pry it out of my cold, dead hands.
Dear Alan. Are you blushing? Oh, by the way, thank you for your concern. It appears that my employer must have thought the same thing, as i now work in a maximum secure environment. There are no knives here, although i do have a pair of safety scissors in my drawer, which are probably contraband.(shhh)
you can always trust a deLonghi to come up with 7 syllable words.
and why do i always have to spell emordnilap?????? sheesh.
Lucky:
triskadekaphobia
also
autobiographical
Transubstantiational
Disestablismentarian
(No, crap. That's 8.)
Sigh.
I like lady fingers. I like chicken fingers. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do when I get the finger? I see people wave this one particular finger occasionally and I wonder what I'm supposed to do about that finger. Maybe it's wet and they're waving it around trying to dry it off? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Transubstantiation as a verb is bad enough. As an adjective it makes me want to cry.
@Night I won't go there ("I love it when I get the finger.") I know how much you dislike my sexual indiscretions.:-0
!
Thank you all for the 7 syllable words.
Where I come from, unrealistically and apologetically have six syllables. But as stated above, I AM from Kentucky, and if anybody can mangle the English language, it's us. @DeLonghi, where are you from?
This is a really great find. Unusual. Thought-provoking. I like it.
This looks like a super bad hamster bite. And gosh can they ever bite hard and draw tons of blood. They are evil and mean, yet darling and precious-looking. Can't judge a book by it's cover.
I know a Pastor Z. in Idaho.
I wonder, if the artist took into consideration, the kerf of blade when showing the injured finger?
I'm pretty sure there is a heart on the back. Wonder what that means.
Huh. What does this remind me of?
A movie..every time one of the characters appeared, another body part was rotted or gone.
did the artist actually draw the bone inside the mangled finger?
Clover, I think the heart on the back means that they LOVE FINGERS! YUMMM!
I've never been to Idaho, but I DO have an ex-wife named Melanie.
autocannibalism!
unobservationally
anti-Freudianism?
pseudologogenesis!
A gnawing rat did this...not a table saw.
The back was also hand related.
Hi, Elliot! Thanks for sharing your Find, and for checking in! So, does it appear that the artist is depicting events that happened to other peoples' hands, or that the artist is.. slightly obsessesd with these possibilities?
I dunno, Consumer Ed is one of those classes everyone has to take. Which means there are a few characters in every class.
BUT, I think it's someone else's hand she is describing.
@ Pastor Z -
I've been to Idaho a handful of times, and my ex-husband is not named Pastor Z.
So...there's more than one Pastor Z in the world, evidently.
Elliot, is there perhaps a wood shop teacher named Bill who is deformed from a table saw injury and places extra importance of using it safely with the students? Because this could just be a note between girls that mocks the teacher's injury and lectures on table saw safety.
Whatever happened to the days when the 2 Finds of the Day were the back and Front of the same Find? I miss that. There have been a couple of finds lately that I would have liked to see from both sides. Sigh.
Orinoco, didn't that only happen Once? (or maybe twice?) I'd like that, too.
7-syllable words: did anyone get autoeroticism?
@jumping: yes, I did once. Oops, I've said too much.
Join the club, John.
