Limpy Floppy Love Note
FOUND by Nicole Schell
in Boulder, Colorado
I found this in the pocket of a pair of pants dropped off where I work (at a dry cleaner's - we have to check all the pockets before the clothes go into the machines).

Are we to assume that the sweltering Limpy knows her husband?
How to text a picture of someone? Asciigraphics?
...I just hope 'Limpy' is never an option for my future fusband's pet name.
@ Gloria: Via picture messaging of course. ;]
This is one of those fun, silly but sweet notes I think we'd all like to receive at least once...
I want to hope that he kept the suit on until he got home so she could see the real deal and not just a pic...
@ Gloria: I was wondering the same thing. Limpy probably sent a sweet ASCII picture, possibly the "Kilroy was here" picture.
My wife appreciates these notes, but she'd rather have me take that time to empty the dishwasher instead. Some like notes, some like acts of service. Some like sweet ASCII art, like Limpy's wife.
I wonder if Limpy looks as hot as the Korean lady from a few days ago. I bet if they got together they could adopt a good looking baby.
I was also thinking, Limpy?? Sounds like an insult, not a petname. I feel badly for Limpy. He clearly has a wife with healthy sexual appetites, but ...
Nicknames like this (where does "Floppy" come in? Is it on the yet-again-unrevealed other side of the note? The shopping list that is today's other find is sooo much more important---NOT)often come from lost, inside-joke events. Otherwise, yes, it would be unkind.
@Dani, just wait until hubby's over 60. It happens to us all. Aging is never kind to anyone.
Limpy may NOT be the note writer's husband!
The note tells Limpy 'you look hot. I wish I could see you [and, oh by the way] text me a picture of my sexy husband [if you both happen to be at the convention you're going to]'.
In other words, Limpy and the writer have a thing going on the side.
OR ... the writer is Limpy's mom. She knows her poor little high school son looks uncomfortably hot in this wool suit suring the summer, but it's all he had to wear to the big interview. She wishes she could see little Limpy all spiffed up for the job interview, though.
Unfortunately, mom had to leave home at 5:00 a.m. to get to her job at the convenience store (in order to stock the shelves with the new shipment of meat, hair, and so on).
She knows Limpy will see her husband (Limpy's step-father) at the office and she's trying to be up-to-date, tech-savvy, or whatever by asking for a texted photo of him.
Thing is, if Limpy does send the photo, mom doesn't know how to get it to show up on her phone. She'll have to ask little Limpy to pull it up for her once they're all back at home that evening.
@ Librarian - I'm think Limpy could also be a brother in you context.
However, I'm more inclined to think this is another member of dwarves extended family. We generally only speak of the "7" dwarves - which is true - as dwarves commonly live in groups of seven ( a Hihohiho Mining Union clause for housing). The lesser known fact is that Snow White was in and out of dwarf homes all over the forest in her formative years. A dwarf groupie who was passed around until the whole apple thing happened. Even after marriage to the prince, who got her into rehab, she continued staying friends with them after marrying her prince husband. In the post apple era Limpy was one of her closet friends (the prince felt safe around him) whom she liked to buy clothes for. Needless to say, her friendship with Limpy faded over time and fell to the wayside as other Limpy house members, Gropey, Feely and Humpy made her more and more uncomfortable when she visited ...
Cute. I am glad 'love' is hot for her husband. I think Limpy is a lame name for a man.
What is the deal with pet names, anyway?
@ Hiplainsdrifter ... and now that Limpy is out of the closet, he isn't one of her closet friends any more. He's "just a friend" (although we've all heard that before).
Maybe Limpy is taken from The Incredible Mr. Limpit. Limpy-Limpit.
It is a stretch, I know
Maybe they call him Limpy because he walks with a limp, not for the other reason that has been implied.
It does make you wonder though...
Here in Dixieland, I've run into several men with the nicknames "Pee Wee" and "Stubby"-- I always wonder then too.
@Librarian - True. The fact is when she put him in the "just friends zone" he really let himself go; filling up on mini-marshmellows, Hersey Minis, Mini-Muffins and Jägermeister nip bottles by the half dozen...
yo, if i was limpy, i'd wear that suit all the time
It took me forever to figure out how the writer could say "you look hot", and in the next sentence say "I wish I could see you". Like, how do you know Limpy is hot if you don't see him??? But then I figured it out.
maybe he's limpy because he's strained a muscle through repetitive movements because he wears the suit all the time and his wife can't get enough of him when he wears it. possibly why it has to be at drycleaners as well.
@Kwyncee - ...then it wouldn't be Limpy'd it would have been Lewinski'd
"Limpy" immediately reminded me of Francis Xavier Cross, whom Claire had called LUMPY.
I love that movie.
How old were the pants this was found in? How old is the note?
I'm only asking because I just googled "limpy" and came across "Limpy Jack Clayton" of Jamestown, North Dakota.
He "lived from 1833-1893 and was a colorful character who spent his later years in Jamestown, North Dakota. Jack's adventures on the frontier secured his place in the local lore. A true pioneer of the west, Jack's eclectic incarnations established him as a legendary local figure. Former Union soldier, attorney, saloon-keeper, stagecoach driver, as well as secretary of the Sunday School organization - in essence, a Jack of all trades."

Apparently Limpy was no slouch. But he lived over 100 years ago. Hence my wondering whether the note is that old. Maybe people had to text photos way back then.
I'm not sure any guy wants the word "limp" in his nickname. I mean who wants their walking sytle ridiculed like that?
Oh wait... do she mean....Oh... Poor dude!
Style - walking STYLE - rotten typos!
DOES... Does she mean
2 typos in one post. Man! Guess I better rest up before posting again.
it's okay, feeling. We get you. We love you. (you are, after all, feeling incoherent. how could we hold any typos against you?)
Thanks Bored *sniff* I feel better now
"Limpy," you sexy, sexy man, you!
I think this belongs to Dirty Found...
Dear Limpy, is it a Santa Suit?
This is Limpy, it looks like Limpy is here to spread a little joy. But there seems to be a lot of rumors going around about this chubby Santa, because not long ago Santa decided he needed a little more room in his sled so he made a call to foundzyte about natural male enhancement.
And after a few short weeks, what did he get? Why not only a sleigh full of confidence and a sack full of pride… it looks like Limpy got the one thing every lady likes… the joy of a gift, that keeps on giving.. Yes, with things heating up on the old North Pole it looks like there’s no mistaking this Santa for an elf… anymore…
Your BFF,

Maybe Limpy has carpal tunnel from texting so frequently. Hence, the limp wrist.
His doctor has cautioned him to text only in emergency situations. He has tried, but finds himself addicted to the instant gratification that texting offers.
In which case, Love is a dirty enabler.
@Cotton
Pee Wee is a singer's name down here in Mexico.... but he's from LA I believe
I hate taking my clothes to the laundry they always find all my missing love notes....
I'm guessing Limpy recently broke his foot or something. Imagine him in his hot suit but also an unfortunate foot cast.
Wife is trying to be encouraging but ribbing him at the same time.
I hope he saw the note! If she slipped it in his pocket and was found at the dry cleaners he may never have seen it. That would be tragic.
All in all, a sweet note. I like.
Ha! My friend's nickname is Limpy. His right leg is 1 inch shorter than the left. Although I prefer to call him Gimpy. I feel Gimpy has more dignity to it.
I suppose there could be worse pet names.
Squidge...that is what my sister's husband used to call her.
TMI, as far as I am concerned
yesterday, my girlfriend and i discovered this ADDICTIVE, FANTABULOUS site and we came up with a clever scheme......
today was just the beginning
plan: get a post it note. leave a poignant statement, and stick it on a random car.
i deliver chinese food and at every stoplight i wrote a note. when i delivered the food, i also delivered a note to a random car.
i have never felt more devious, more liberated, more powerful......i think i might be an addict.
StickyMuse, good luck with your campaign. I'm dying of curiosity, wondering what kind of poignant statements you're leaving behind.
Hope to see some of them soon.
(Found IS highly addicting.)
"Oh, Limpy You're so fine. You're so fine you blow my mind. Hey Limpy!"
I worked at a dry cleaner where I had to check the pockets. Very often gross! More balled-up used kleenex than I like to recall. We were instructed to take anything that could be remotely important and put it in a baggie stapled to the ticket. At our cleaners Limpy would have gotten his note back.
Na na, you're all crazy!
The writer is obviously referring to her & her husband having recently tried Viagra together and the humourous times they had laughing when it wouldn't go down... even after she was completely satisfied and 10 hrs having passed!
So in fact she was reverse complimenting him / flattering his ego after a wild weekend.
Sounds like a fine woman!
baby basil in the herb garden, no. they cropped that shit out. it says love, floppy under the note and idk why but thy cropped it out. shenannigans!
His original pet name was "Limp Noodle", but he asked her not to call him that.
