FOUND by Natasha

I found a few note cards like this in the science hall when I was in high school.

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...
Thirty seven cents!!! Who could pass that reward up!? You'd almost have enough to buy a stamp.
Sheldon looks like a colorful skateboard ramp in a bloody cage.
To me, Sheldon looks like a purple chunk of cheese.
Who the hell names their horn Sheldon?
Shelden looks like a piece of pepperoni pizza!
You're on your own with that purple cheese, though. But if Shelden has been around for a long time, maybe his cheese did turn purple.
Yep, Swiss cheese. That's what I thought too, Sleepy.
What if it says $.37 reword? If I edit the note and call the number, will they pay me 37 cents? Unfortunately I cannot improve upon the masterpiece that is this note.
You know, if I call the number above, and then go to locker 384, I'll bag a total of $2.43 in rewards.
Is Shelden a Party Hat? Or a slice of Pizza with Purple and Blue Swiss Cheese melted on the top?
For $.37, it's not worth trying to differentiate!
Sheldon is obviously a lab experiment rodent; he's partial to Swiss cheese that's been around too long and has started to grow other lab experiments.
Darn! I Found Shelden last week! I called the number, but by the time I get to the en in Shelden, all I got was a busy signal. Maybe they have a website. (authorities have stated that the author of the LOST posters is, in fact, the person of interest in the case.)
My daughter said sheldon is obviouly a hermit crab! The name fits.. and well, remember those crazy shells that they live in?... It's obvious.. plus .37 cents, that's about how much a hermit crab is worth!! 8 year olds are SO smart, lol.
Yuck. Moldy swiss. Found in the fridge, next to Marvin, the fuzzy cheddar, and Harriet, the really hard string cheese that was left unwrapped at the bottom of the cheese drawer.
Wine and cheese, anyone?
How apt, to post a number as "1-800-Found-Shelden" on FOUND.
But making "a few" of these cards is a bit much, even for an inside joke.
I never saw a purple cow
and never hope to see one;
but Sheldon is a purple cheese,
which means that there must be one.
(I wonder what in the world Flargy named HIS horn?)
Sheldon, as in Paul Sheldon? lol. Well, after Annie kidnapped him in Misery I would sure say he's missing.
Spam protection: What is the number before 66965?
Ohh an easy one! Finally!
I think this may be in reference to the comic Sheldon.... if anyone knows what I'm talking about, there seem to be some similarities...
I like how in the phone number, they couldn't seem to figure out how the spell Shelden (sheldon, sheldan)
I'll bet they'd try to pay the reward in Doritos.
In the 8th grade, I used to make fake concert promo flyers, for the reunion tour of Ernest, Eugene, and Elmo Ugetti. I posted them in random places around school, for no reason aside from practicing my lettering, making people wonder and entertaining myself.
Not Where's Waldo, BUT-
Where's Shelden?
And why does he like purple Swiss cheese?
Sheldon looks like a cheerleader's megaphone.
Obviously, no one here watches the cartoon Ed, Edd & Eddy! Sheldon was the piece of moldy cheese Ed kept in his pocket. Whoever wrote up this find was most likely a fan of Ed's.
Oh, how I HATE Ed, Edd & Eddy! More than the Rugrats and Ren & Stimpy combined. It is EEEEeeeevil, and my progeny are NOT allowed to watch it.
(no wonder no one recognized it.)
Plank was a direct takeoff of the Log Lady from Twin Peaks.
Ed Edd and Eddy, you say? That's all well and good. But Laura, does that explain the 37 cent ransom?
Pastor Z, are you from Michigan?
The Meijer store here used to sell ice cream floats that they called "Purple Cows," and I remember the poem that my Mom used to say when we got them was,
I never saw a Purple Cow
I hope I never see one.
But I can tell you anyhow
I'd rather see than be one!
I don't know if there's some other origin of that poem, but I always think of Meijer floats when I think of it!
Mmmm...roquefort cheese. That makes really good salad dressing. Mmmmm...
Hugh, they picked 37 cents because it is a random, weird, strange choice, just like the overall theme of Ed, Edd, & Eddy. I love that show!
When I first posted, I totally missed the fact of where this was found! MACUNGIE, PA.. literally only a few MILES from my home! COOL!
@ Pastor Z
PURPLE COW!
The purple cow poem was set to music in my childhood piano book. It was one of my favorites!
Is Sheldon a piece of mutant swiss cheese?
Looks like a chunk of Dalmation
Why yes,
I wrote the Purple Cow
and I'm so glad I wrote it
but I can tell you anyhow,
I'll sue you if you quote it.
I don't know if he wrote it originally, but the Purple Cow poem appears in "Where the Sidewalk Ends" by Shel Silverstein.
Well, I guess I can google......It was originally written by a man named Gelett Burgess in 1895. There you go.
Uh... this is a highschooler's handwriting?! It looks somehwere in between my five year old's and my eight year old boy's handwriting.
i'm a teacher and this reminds me of signs that the kids posted all over the school when a colleague of mine finally shaved off his hideous mustache. they put up wanted posters looking for "the 'stache".
What's with the repeats, FOUND?
