The Bike Message
FOUND by Sean M. in Lawrence, KS
I came outside for my lunch break this afternoon to find a note on my bike. No idea who it was from, but apparently they'd really like to park their bike where I've parked mine for the past two years.

Can't you share the pole? One bike on each side?

you toucha my pole, I'll pop you tires! Pop you tires, and (after some thought) pee on yor seat! I hope it's only 2 years' worth of rage he's managed to store up

This has to be written by a pre-teen or similar. Surely no adult...well...who knows.

If your name ain't engraved on it, and there's no "Reserved" sign, it's not your pole. Get over it. First come, first served.

You poppa my tires, I breaka you face.

dolf had many "servants" (none of them were paid), among them a Pole to park his bike. Among his other responsibilities, it was the Pole's job to pee on encroaching seats and, when necessary, to pop the tires of anyone who dared get too clo

Notewriter, I know of another pole. Maybe you could use that one instead. It is located up your butt.

@ Farmer ... reminds me of an old joke:

Q.: Who was Alexander Graham Bellovinski?

A.: Why, he was the first telephone Pole.

I bet this is from Tattoo girl from June 24, 2009. She struck me as a little hostile.

There both from Lawrence, KS. How big could that place be after all? Must be the same person.

Being possessive about a pole? Underlying homosexuality?

Henrietta the pole dancer was devastated when the pole at her strip club was taken away for bike parking. She had been very intimate with the pole and couldn't stand to see it go. She saved up her money for two years so she could buy a bike to park at her pole. Unfortunately, when she arrived, there was another bike parked at the pole. How could it two-time her like that? This called for seat-peeing maneuvers.

Revenge is a MoFo! After making such vicious threats, I'd be afraid to leave my bike there!!!

I hope this person never grows up to be a stripper. She'll need a LOT of notes for that profession.

I've always found that threatening to pee on someone's seat is a successful tool.

I totally get it. I get this way about my pole too.

....man that guy who used the pole first waited 2 years to complain? You can't call dibs and then come back in 2 to say you had dibs - just doesn't work that way...

@Rin in the Tin Tin - I would disagree - it's gonna be plastic seat - it'll be dry - and then I 'm just gonna put my ass on the same seat my ass has been on a 1000 times and ride away...

i don't get it. so, what, you pop the tires, urinate on the seat, then park YOUR bike in that exact same spot? what kind of stupid plan is that? i'd let them do it, just so i could show them how to REALLY mess up a bike. i'd also leave a brochure for night classes.

If you just pee on the pole itself once a day everyone will know it's yours.

Today, the spelling police are just laughing too hard to site this poor person.

Firstly, with someone so sick and tierd, you'd be more interested in their Picasso-esque steeped appearance.

Secondly, I don't think 'pap'ing you tires will do much harm. The human papoloma virus doesn't live long on rubber. Just a quick swab, a rub on the slide and off to the gynecologist for testing.

Stop parking your bike there for a few days, then when the complainer parks his bike there, go put your lock on it.

Well, I am thoroughly amused. This does not insight any sort of anger in me as it seems to have done in others. However, I have never had someone threaten to pop my bike tires and pee on my seat. If I were the person who received this note I would park my bicycle at the pole and proceed to hide behind a shrub until the note writer came. Then I would pop out and try to befriend him/her as I think they might be an interesting person to have as a friend. This is an excellent plan because crazy friends are fun and by befriending this person this would insure a pee-free seat. A good friend of mine lives in Lawrence. I think I might send this link to her and propose that she find the person who wrote the note. Maybe she can calm him/her down. Also, I think it is a male because the hand writing looks like a males and it would be easier for a male to pee on the bike seat.

who died and made him the boss of poles?

This find is hilarious! So are the comments! Lauren, you're cracking me up!

Speaking of peeing on seats, my husband got a little ride-in car for his 4th birthday -- the kind with the petals -- and one of the little girls at his party, Billie Jean, wanted to try it out. She was known for wetting her pants. Little Danny cried, saying, "NO! She'll pee in the seat!" but all the grown-ups made him give her a turn. And sure enough the seat was peed-in when she was done.

Isn't that odd? Her name was really-truly Billie Jean. (I'm really glad that NO ONE here has mentioned the obsession with the celebrity death going on today. I won't either.)

I have often wondered who is the boss of the poles. This clue helps and meshes well with the find posted 11/24/2007. Look and see.

Oh, wow.
This has got to be a joke.
Surely Lawrence KS isn't so short on poles?

Thanks for the reminder! (dogbreath, too, but Panda referenced first.)

I love, Love, LOVE when someone comments about poor spelling in a Find (or Finder's Blurb, or other comment) and misspells something in their own comment. (is it one of those natural laws of the universe? as sure and dependable as gravity?)

Lauren in Witchita, you crack me up! (and actually scare me a little.)

I thought I was only born with the ability to amuse myself. Who knew I could make two people chuckle to themselves? Unless, of course, I posed as other people and wrote that they were amused with my comment. Intrigue.

I think you should bring your bikeseat in with you everyday. The perpetrator will become angery & dissapointed all hopes of their revenge are lost.
