Tricky
FOUND by Mike Colyn in Edmonds, Washington
I found this near Highway 99 last week. Did Padraic's clever trick land him a girlfriend? We'll never know.

I absolutely love the "geeks in love" vibe of this find!! Makes me think of all the clever ways my fiancee and I used write nerdy little notes back and forth to each other. I hope that Padraic and Elisa had a happy ending.

What a lame challenge. I wonder if she accepted. WTF kind of name is Padraic? A bastardization of Patrick?

With brains like that, who wouldn't want to be his girlfriend?!
Padraic is a traditional Irish form of Patrick

Padraic or Padraig is the Irish Gaelic form of Patrick. Paudrick the phonetic spelling but doesn't exist.

Awwwwwe that's cute. Reminds me of something an old flame said to me a long time ago. "If I could be with you, even if it were only to play Nintendo with you, I would". =)

In the seventh grade, my best friend dared me to go out with him. We dated for six months. It was probably the best six months of my life. His name, no joke, was Patrick.

Where was Padraic when I was younger? Ah...true test of love... Super street fighter II. He gets the girl no matter what! Lucky Elisa!!

genius! do you think this approach works when you're in your 30s? hahahahahahaha...

So... if she wins she gets a loser for a boyfriend? Is this the aftermath of budgetary cuts on game shows? Hmmm, better risk it for what's behind door number three.

At least they share a common interest...

I've always said if i could find a woman that could beat me at Street Fighter 3, I'd marry her on the spot :P

That is so sweet! Street Fighter is a great game. I'd go for it if I was her!

Works everytime. : ]

I plan on naming my future son Padraic.

If someone ever gave a note like this to me, I'd probably never let him go.

If I knew all it took was a match of SSFII, I would have had all the ladies.

What an adorable note! I like the way this kid thinks!

I knew I should have been playing Streetfighter instead of playing dungeons and dragons. Apparently I was in the wrong geek medium for picking up women.

I'm totally using this idea in the future.

Last year, when I was a cashier, the guy who asked me out put a little paper on the barcode of the cereal he was buying so it wouldn't scan & I'd have to look at it, & it said will you go out with me. :)
Things like that are cute. And you can always keep them.

Too bad Elisa lost this.

SophieLou in heaps of trouble
If you ask me, the reason why this note is a find, and not framed in Elisa's bedroom or something, is because maybe Padraic chickened out and never sent her this note?

Which is a total shame because Padraic seems like a total romantic.

I love that his name is Padriac, does anyone else remember the Thornbirds? Best book ever. If you knowwhat I mean, let's get married.
