The Point + Purpose
FOUND by Kary
in San Rafael, California
I found this outside a drugstore. My best find yet, obviously. Green laminated card with word "find," slightly smeared by recent rains.

Wow. That is AMAZing!
how does a laminated card get smeared by rain? isn't that the point of lamination: that it won't get smeared?
almost as if it labeled itself. Awesome!
Funny! I wonder what it was orginally - a flash card for kids perhaps?
Lucy...Maybe they laminated it BECAUSE it got smeared.
kaydub: duh (thank you)
Sometimes ink smears while it's being laminated.
I'll take this as an order
Sometimes water seeps into the sides of laminated things and smears like this.
find yourself
Super Awesome Find!
I'd hang that at my desk or something.
I wish more things were labeled. Like "purpose", "true love", "bad idea", "empty calories". Life would be so organized.
People are so nice on these comments sections...very refreshing
find your mom...
to remareem in holland who said "find your mom"
...
i guess i never realized that people in other places besides west chester, ohio, or even the united states said "your mom" at the end of a saying/word/anything. i love the amazingness of the world. or maybe the smallness of my mind.
To G in Ohio,
I work at EZ Lube and we often recommend services by time and milage. My favorite comment these days is "recommend your mom by time and milage"
Personally, I think this is a lame "find". I miss back when a large portion of the daily finds were photos. A weird photo is a much better find than a piece of paper with one word on them.
to g from ohio...
tha saying is so similar, it must be universal :)
this is a great FOUND, congrats !! wish i could share with you some findings from other languages.
A poor lamination job would easily account for the smearing. This doesn't look like the sort of thing you'd take down to the local print shop for a professional lamination job; instead, it was probably laminated at home by the original owner. Lamination plastic of the kind you buy at Wal-Mart and apply at home is by no means foolproof. I've personally had water leak into several such items.
Ohmygosh. Great FOUND! Not one of the best but pretty cool none the less!
I'm totally lost. I don't get the "your mom" thing. Is that like adding "in bed" to a cookie fortune?
This is as sweet a find as a business card for Jaffey & Jaffey, Existential Detectives...
My kids say "your mom" as a response to a comment/request...as in "I need to go to the store." "Your MOM needs to go to the store!" Doesn't necessarily make sense - kind of like the "I know you are, but what am I?" grade-school comeback.
I know in the stage play for "Schoolhouse Rock" they use laminated words for parts of speech...how big was this find?
Wow. How Ironic!
Lars, Elizabeth, et. al.: The "your Mom" thing has gotten a resurgence with the movie Napoleon Dynamite. Kip says it to Deb, she gets insulted, and runs away ("I'm trying to raise money for college." "Your Mom goes to college.") I work with Middle/High school kids, and it's a major part of their vocab right now.
i thought it was a pretty weird find. it was late at night and i was in an almost empty parking lot. i saw something kind of glistening with rain on it and walk over and find this card. it was a pretty weird moment...almost creepy!
i've been saying "your mom" for years! its great to know that people all around the world share my sense of humor =)
anywho, maybe a found-fan left this to be found and put on the site... sounds like something i would do.
This is an awesome Find! Jason and Davy, you should change the name of your outfit to "Find Magazine"! This could be your logo!
my kids say 'your mom' to me.... and i say it back.. its a little strange, but hey.
great find , btw.
Your Face has a Mom!
