This is too gross. Must remember never to view #6426 again. It makes my gums hurt.…  more»

@Pamplona - I think everyone can be an artist if that is what they want. How "good" art is is subjective. Now, they may not be able to make a living at their art!…  more»

I think the kid is a ne'er do well, probably in his late twenties, and he's run out of money again, so he asks Dad and they get into a big argument, and many unkind things are said, but then Dad starts to feel guilty and comes through with 25 bucks and drops it through his slacker kid's mail slot, but this is the last time dammit, and since he could not find any paper, he had to write this note on the top bill.

The kid then immediately copped a bag of dope and the whole process repeated itself in a couple of days.

Sigh, that's kind of sad.  more»

Yeah, I believe in Cod, too. Just for the Halibut.

My, this fellow is tortured.  more»

Ahh, all y'all hating on the big city! I love the pub on the corner, the Festivals nearly every weekend once it gets warm, the First Fridays art walk,sitting on the porch saying hi to everyone that walks by, and being able to walk almost everywhere (grocery store, my kid's school, church).

And, when it snows hard, I don't have to go to Kroger to stock up on milk and bread like my suburbanite co-workers.…  more»

Yeah! A find from Richmond!  more»

Great find! Love the last sentence, of course.

I read this and thought about that scene in Liar Liar where Jim Carrey is trying to write "The Pen is Black" but he can't lie and ends up right "The Pen is Blue" all over the place.  more»

I immediately thought of that nursery ryhme:

There once was a girl
Who had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead,
And when she was good,
She was very, very good,
And when she was bad,
She was horrid.

Maybe it was one of the horrid days for her, with the hoochie clothes and all.  more»

&dudley - Great trivia!

On another, having two finds a day is kind of complex for simple me! I hardly have enough chance to comment on one.  more»

I am so curious: Moffat, did you read any of "The Bedside Book of the Art of Living"? Does Illegitimi non carborundum sum it up, or did it offer any other advice?  more»

@Freon - I bet you are right. I live on a city block and everyone knows that you pull up behind an available car, so as most economically park. You do not CENTER your car in front of your house, leaving a half-parking spot on either side!…  more»

I found a case in NYC where a 15 year old threw her baby out of the window in 2000. The baby did not survive.…  more»

I tend to agree with Kimmy above, simply because the writer of this note seems so young and unsophisticated.  more»

Has anyone else tried to google the news story for this one? The only thing I could find, the dad through his baby out a 15 floor window because he was mad with the mom.

This find is so unspeakably sad.…  more»

Now this find is creepy. It looks like human skin to me, too. I wonder who was the poor tortured soul that stashed this note away and why?…  more»

@Flargy - yes, I see what you mean.

I am also reminded of the time my boyfriend coached youth league basketball. For some reason, we got all the kids weren't choosen at the draft and it was a real "Bad News Bears" type of team.…  more»

I don't think they are meant to be poems. I don't know what they are supposed to be, but they aren't poems.…  more»
