Hangman
FOUND by Brandon
in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
I found this note on a table at the campus bar at McMaster University. Look at the hangman, no wrong letters! These people are good.

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...
I wonder if 2 people really played or if the one person just filled it in.
There are so many letters, it would be difficult to pick a wrong one...
I'd like to think that it's sad so many times that the person guessing knew exactly what the message was.
Why does the writter say "I wish we could be together forever" like they both know they can't be together forever :(
people who go to university in canada are really smart i guess
I sent my ex-boyfriend a hangman card, it had one or two letters in and he had to work out the rest. I loved him but in the end I felt like the hangman.
(when I sad I loved him I lied, I still love him.. despite everything)
considering the only letters not included are: jkpqxz... :P
Best hangman ever!
The best hangman is "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
No letters wrong! Immortality guaranteed.
Nice happy find. I likes it.
Oh Quarters, just keeps on giving. I wonder if the hearts were drawn as a hint, or done after the game was over...
I was wondering how old the player(s) is/are. I guess I just assumed it was a youngster like a middleschooler maybe. That was probably the last time I played some hangman. It makes me a little nostalgic. Maybe it's their first love. I am starting to become really aware that I had very little grasp on the concept of "forever" back then. Oh, well. I guess we all really want to believe it at the time we say it.
This gives me the heebie-jeebies. Equating a love message with a hangman's task sounds like some sort of tawdry affair best left to dime-store pulps. icky-poo!
'sides, the one filling in the message was prob'ly mouthing the words as s/he was spelling them out tryin' to figger out where to put those pesky letters.
wow, i rememeber playing the hangman game to love you messages with my 1st boyfriend in middle school.
...in fact, i think i prolly saved one of those messages and still have it somewhere.
very cute find:)
Found! I want today's find! Not some hippy-dippy shit from 2004! Love you forever!
Aww... A prime example of the mating rituals of the Greater Common Inebriated Academic. I would hazard that this was left by a member, or members, of the sub-species Lesser Known Intoxicated Freshman: They're so cute! I will bet money that the completion of this puzzle was celebrated with extensive PDA.
It reminds me of my senior year at university, when I thought it was a good idea to date a freshman. He had this thing about "forever" and "being together forever,” which in reality translated to "we must walk to all our classes together, and spend all our time together every night, and after only knowing you for four months I am going to propose marriage at your graduation because I really really want you to be the mother of my children." I think he may even have done a mushy romance filled hangman for me, on one of those rare occasions when we hung out with my friends.
No wrong letters?
Picture this:
"Hey, I love you so much and I wish we could be together forever! Do you love me so much and wish we could be together forever? Wanna play Hang Man? It's a secret message, here...guess what this says"
I love _ _ _ so _ _ _ _ and I wish _ _ could _ _ together _ _ _ _ _ _ _.
This puzzle would have been pretty easy to solve if they just follow the Wheel of Fortune letter selection: RSTLNE. Now they just start everyone out with those letters.. but for years, those were the letters that just about EVERY contestant chose at the final round.
There IS something a bit unsettling about this sort of "Forever and ever and ever" obsessive Love message.. played out in a hangman game. I mean sure, the hangman didn't hang... but it still seems a little... I dunno.. stalkerish and creepy.
(and as Terrie-is-so-very might say, "I boiled your bunny. No big deal.")
