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...
This is the conversation my brain has with my stomach every morning.
God damn it!!! I will go get the food and coffee is you just quit note fighting GEES!!!
Coffee is gross.
And I'll be in Toronto in 2 weeks! :)
Quit fighting geese? And just why would I want to do that, exactly?
NO U
The writer would have his/her food and coffee by now if they had just used the word "please" in the first note.
The watermark makes an interesting effect on the paper.
ill Inn, near the coffee shop. I was really hungry at the time, so I thought about picking it up & bringing it in to see if maybe they'd accept it as payment for a coupl......
.....Oh. Wait a minute....
Never mind.
I like that the expletive has been crossed out
Farmer,
I'm confused about the "never mind" lines. A little help please.
zzled by the way things ended up between us. I know there's no point in trying to relive the past, but it might be helpful to look back and see if we can't make some sens....
....Oh. Wait a minute....
Never mind.
feeling, you know how a joke isnt funny,if you have to have it explained to you??
...never mind.
Is this Find what it looks like when a deaf person is arguing with someone who doesn't know sign language?
somebody died durring the making of this note
You. Food.
Makes me think of "So I Married an Axe Murderer" when the dad says "Head! Pants! Now!"
I bet with more paper and no food or coffee this could have been epic, but one of them probably caved and picked up breakfast, thus denying the world more great literature.
Coffee ALWAYS before food! What are you thinking?
So, this was written on a restaurant pad of paper...The Old Mill Inn. It looks like two people were trying to communicate to the waitress their order...food, NO, coffee...
Poor waitress.
JUST GO GET SOME FOOD NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(no, coffee)
At first I thought it was written on a cheap-o paper plate.
I wonder if the "go get some coffee" writer crossed out the eff word, or if the other person did.
All they would need to do was go to Timmy's and they could have had BOTH of these things. You know, a bagel with cream cheese and an extra large double double?
Tim Horton's has good sandwiches too. K, now I'm hungry. Where's the nearest Tim's?
Orinoco got there first, as always.
SAY PLEASE!!! It usually works.
Thank you. No, no sugar, thanks. Bless you. How kind.
This is a first page script draft of a movie called "The Deer Hunter Part II"
The movie takes place in a hotel, and involves the reunion of the veterans with their Vietcong captors so they can have culture. Due to over booking the character Michael (Robert Deniro) is forced to stay with his old VC Guard. It is soon discovered that old ways die hard.
In this scene the 2 guests have seen the emotional temperature rise and tempers are now flaring. The Viet guard and Michael are now forced to play spin the bottle, and who ever loses has to go to lobby to - to get the complimentary continental breakfast and coffee... the spin has finished as is pointing at Michael...
oops (suppose to be closure)...
Dear Jonathan, sorry to have missed the big day. Felicitations.
And Librarian, I would rather say that a joke that has to be explained wasn't funny from the start. As for Farmer's "posts" recently, he reminds me of me old gran's remark when I was a tiny little Womble: Once is funny. Twice is not funny. Three times is a spanking.
I, for one, am fascinated that this note WALKED from the Gladstone back to the Go Station!! That is one remarkable note!
Coffee is a fundamental building block of a rational and just society, hence it should be given freely to all throughout the land by fresh young maidens with perky bosoms.
OOh! Ooh!! Can I be the one to administer Farmer's spanking??!
the back (in purple) says FOOD GO GET SOME (illegibile, unintelligible scribble, but it looks like it may have said Fucker. Or maybe it said Farmer.)
@ MLM: Having never been to Toronto, I was curious about the "walking" note and it's travels. I figured the Gladstone was some sort of tourist attraction, like a museum (close, it's a historic hotel)....and the Go Station was probably a public restroom facility along the walking tour (wrong). How did we ever live without google?
@ Hiplains--Are you saying they can't have culture? What kind of place do you think the Old Mill is? Sure, they make their guests grind their own wheat, sure they have to boil the water for coffee over an open flame, but when you pay for a "rustic vacation" you can't expect someone to come knocking on your door with "room service". And if their guests are afraid to ask for food by the end of their stay, well, that only means the employees of the Old Mill have done their job properly, doesn't it? You certainly wouldn't envy the whipping these customers got when their written argument was discovered. No asking for food or writing about it either. You've got to work for your supper here, boy. Now go slop the hogs.
i think it would be quite grand, if after posting your thoughts on the find of the day, you would post how farmers' comment should end...example
ill Inn, near the coffee shop. I was really hungry at the time, so I thought about picking it up & bringing it in to see if maybe they'd accept it as payment for a coupl......
couple of butthole bleachings??
the second comment he posted is sad:( is farmer hinting that somehow he lost his dell??
if so, no words come to mind to finish that ending.......
is the Inn information at the bottom of the note intentionally blurred, except for the name and telephone number? If so, why?
the name of the place reminds me of that old song my Pappy used to sing...
down by the old mill stream, (stream)
where I first met you, (you)
with your eyes of blue,
dressed in gingham too..
it was there I knew,
that you loved me true.
you were sixteen,
my village queen,
by the old mill stream.
@ Cherry ... that back in purple business? It is a mirror image of the bottom half of the note. I'm thinking it either came from folding the top half of the note back behind the bottom half before the FOOD and that stuff at the bottom was written, or the top half was folded frontwards and somehow picked up ink from the parts already written. My theory is the former, except that it was unfolded before FOOD was circled.
My other theory is that I've spent too much time thinking about this already today.
My great, great, great grandfather was the miller at this mill which is on the Humber River in Toronto in the early 1800s. The place kept burning down and they eventurally converted the ruins into the Old Mill Inn. How cool to see this here on Found!
Go wash my laundry and pay my bills!!!!!!!
....dang, I thought that might really work.
Hmmm. Maybe they blurred all the pertinent info for the Old Mill so it doesn't look like a paid commercial advertisement for The Old Mill. (?)
But I have to wonder how many "hits" The Old Mill has gotten today.
AND I have to say to Shattered Cat in Richmond, VA, that is totally cool- what an interesting bit of history you have in your Family Tree!
@ Shattered Cat ... so then, did you inherit the arsonist gene from your great, great, great grandfather?
some funny comments today on this find.
Farmer, I am really starting to enjoy your random posts. I think I actually I look forward to them now.
This paper conversation reminds me of the ones I would have with my cousin in the middle of church during high school. Usually after about 10 minutes of the sermon we'd start writing notes to each other, almost always having to do with what was for lunch.
I think a hungry, thirsty waitron being run ragged by inn-goers either had to write this demand or hurt patrons to obtain two of life's necessities - coffee & food....sometimes that's what it comes down to--and the kitchen doesn't make it easy for them for to obtain either.
And @ Librarian and Chrome.... I've been digging up my roots for years and seeing something that ties to it on Found is awesome...and this burning-down thing... I like things that burn....hmmmm something to ponder...the rumor was grandad was scalped....
Trouble not, Shattered Cat. On my mother's side of the family they were "rustlers" (cattle, sheep, horses, whatever)and on my father's side they were smugglers. I guess you could say the fruit of my family tree hangs from the branches...at the end of a rope.
Strange fruit, indeed.
No trouble.
Thanks BB in the HG. Sounds like a pretty interestingly fruity tree, how cool to have such ancestors, my guess is they did what they had to do....my hubby's first american ancestor was sent over to virginia for stealing sheep, as far as I'm concerned I'm glad ol' joe stole that sheep. Here's to the riff-raff!
One thing about this find; it has enthusiasm.
does no one ever think that maybe, JUST MAYBE people purposely right these notes and send them in?
i hope i am wrong.
