FOUND by Lisa from Ventura
in Las Vegas, NV
This was found on the floor of the hallway of the Luxor Towers, part of the Luxor Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
My theory is that a couple, overjoyed by the election victory of Obama the night before, had celebrated in a time-honored fashion in the wee small hours -- apparently within the hearing of "The Guy Next Door."

I'm having a hard time deciding if "the guy next door" is being sarcastic or not. The wish for a great relationship is throwing me off.
I've had upstairs neighbours literally shake the walls with their loud and raunchy "election celebrations."
i think the guy next door is genuine. i have had people give me similar feedback (very embarassing), at least this guy left a note instead of talking face to face!
I suspect he's genuine. I think he meant he was a "hard" as nails, and he got off to them having sex.
By the way, much better finds than yesterday. I don't like the photos. If you have to have them, please post just one a day and then give us a written find to go along with it.
</ungrateful bitch>
Hey, Lisa - What happens in Vegas *stays* in Vegas!
this is either one of the creepiest notes ever, or a very clever way to get your neighbors to keep it down...
Creeeeeeeepy.
this guy is either being incredibly sarcastic... or he's into voyeurism.
Now, *that's* irony and sarcasm with a hey-nonny no! LOL This guy is past master at the art. Sounds like his neighbours are like mine. When they do the hundred yard horizontal dash, everyone in the building knows about it.
Does that last line say PR:? FR:? As in "From: Guy next door?"
How to best let your neighbors know that their loud concerts bother is a worthy discussion.
I think this would be rather effective.
You could also cheer them on in encouragement, which is what my suitemates and I did in college when another suitemate was being intrusively... expressive.
I suppose, naievely, that this could have been about the all-girl rock band that was pictured behind the golden confetti in yesterday's Find. They had just debuted as an opening act in the Las Vegas Boom Boom Room.
This 'guy next door' had caught both sets.
And he wanted them to play louder next time in order to drown out the slot machine bells from the other room.
No? Yeah, I guess not.
You guys?
There ya go...
Hey, I would think the expensive hotels in Las Vegas have better wall insulation. What the heck? How much does it cost to stay at the Luxor?
I wonder if the 'guy next door' had his ear pressed against the wall to hear 'you guys.' Otherwise, if I ever go to Vegas, I may think twice about staying at the Luxor.
I bet this guy stayed next door to Whippet Bitch and her customer du jour. You get what you pay for.
It DOES say 'you guys'.
Which tells me that this is related to this week's Find about the really emotional possibly pregnant girl with hurting boobs. ("When was the last time you guys had sex?") Remember that?
http://www.foundmagazine.com/find/11651
if the guy next door had been next door to us that fateful night he would have heard much weeping and wailing and head-banging - and not the good kind.
"Father Guy Nextdoor" (an old Swedish sir name)- recently defrocked for inappropriate handling of the donuts in the rectory basement at Our Lady of Perpetual Motion - was resting from doing penitential 3rd shift work at the Luxor.
I think he did everything but drill a peep hole in the wall to watch them.. *shivers*
He's like "Gooooo team, try harder!" Whaa?
You guys probably know this, but I'll explain anyway: "You guys" is the plural form of "you" used in the western U.S. and it doesn't necessarily mean two males. I have met visitors from the east coast who thought it was very funny that we use "you guys" to refer to multiple females as well as males.
The English language is in need of an official plural "you" (like the French "vous"). Because it's missing, it gets invented out of necessity.. "y'all" in the south and "yous" in the east. I wonder if British English has an unofficial form for the second person plural? Jonathan?
I love the photo finds just as much as the written finds!
Clover left out a few not-insignificant western states.
@clover - well, "youse" in Liverpool, "yez" in Ireland and "you'm" down here in the Westcountry moi dear
Ooohh yeah. I could FEEL the intensity the first time.. not to mention the second.. third and fourth- meh.. it kinda dwindled, know what I mean.
dude, you need to make more noise! That's HOT. Don't let her do all the squealin'.
Considering the Finder's Blurb mentions the Obama election, this Find got posted with expedience! Yaay Found.
Oh, and I LOVE photo Finds, too- so keep on doing just what you're doing, Found Powers that Be. xoxo
I think the guy next door is quoting back snippets of "conversation" heard through his walls the night before.
For example:
Wall Person 1: You're so HOT!
Wall Person 2: No, YOU'RE so HOT!
Wall Person 1: OMG, WE'RE BOTH SOOOO HOTTTT!!!
Wall Person 2: Can you feel the tension?
Wall Person 1: Oh, yeah, I feel it, I feel it!
Wall Person 2: I can FEEL THE TENSION TOO!
Wall Person 1: Oh yeah! Oh yeah!
Wall Person 2: But did you feel it the first time?
Wall Person 1: I felt it the first time AND I feel it now!!!
Wall Person 2: I am as tough as nails, baby!
I think it says "PR: guy next door"
Public Relations.
Sounds like they made their relations pretty public.
Hmm. Kept me UP all morning..
"May you always be great together" is actually kind of a sweet sentiment.
But I think the guy next door should have just stored the memory in his spank bank and moved on without saying (or writing) a word.
Like Me thinks this has nothing to do w/ the O'bum'a election, it was just a theory of the person who turned in the find...
@better left unsaid.. LMAO @ the words "spank bank" Mauahahahahaha!!
the guy maybe should have just called in a complaint to the hotel, unless he was the one making the noise and was just writing a note to himself.. seems crazy enough!!!
one time i was camping, and was able to view the silouhette (sp) of a couple having sex, cuz the morning sun whas shining through their tent. people are funny
Maybe it was hot cus it was the guy in red shorts.
P.S. I followed you guys downstairs this morning. It was really hot the way you macked on that breakfast buffet.
I bet it was the American Apparel suspender-nipple girl. She looks like a screamer.
@Robley..I've always thought of Utah as pretty insignificant. With the exception of the Sundance Film Festival.
@Some states--Yes, and Montana seems insignificant, too. Do people actually LIVE there? I thought it was all cows and horses.
Montana, Montana,
Glory of the West..
Of all the states from coast to coast
you're easily the Best...
Clover, I live on the east coast and we use "you guys" as the plural of "you", regardless of gender. I think the note writer is probably doing that as well. German also has a plural form of "you" - "ihr".
I find this note incredibly creepy, and I think that the writer is not being sarcastic. Maybe he was trying to creep them out of having sex again so he wouldn't have to put up with the noise? No, I think he might be genuine, which is just disturbing. The weirdest part for me is the "tough as nails"... why did he get that idiom so wrong?
Tom and Tanya were really glad they'd had their wedding in Vegas. They'd heard that guys in hotels were really tolerant of noise, and it was true. The guy next door left them such a nice note about their wedding night's morning activities. He even wanted them to be louder! They weren't really sure what he meant by tough as nails, though. Turns out he actually nailed a hole in the wall...
I'm an East-coaster and I feel like I'm the only one who ever says "you guys" about girls.
I think i'm more freaked out by that than anything I have ever seen!
Well we all know that this was a girl who wrote this. Vegas sounds like fun! ;D
I say "you guys" all the time or was the Electric Co. aimed at an all male audience?
It's impossible to be quiet if the sex is good.
Why the political connotation by the poster? Chances are folks in Las Vegas were celebrating for other reasons (wedding, winning, vacation, etc.)
@Just me in my house: Some of us have been banging our head and wailing for the past 8 years. Obama didn't make this mess in the few months he was in office - he's just charged with finding a way to clean up after W.
have you ever seen that regional map that tells you where people say 'soda' or 'pop' or 'coke'? I wonder if there's one that tells you where people say 'you guys', or 'y'all', or 'youse' or whatever else people say...hmmm..
We say "you guys" in Indiana for both genders, too.
I think the Guy Next Door is being serious. Either way, if I got the note, I would be quiet next time.
I think the "soda/pop map" might be easily repurposed to the "plural you map."
http://tastyresearch.files.wordpress.com/2006/
It seems that coke = y'all, pop = you guys, and soda = well, this one isn't as clear.
It's not a perfect match, but not too far off...
4thwrite and true in NY: Haven't you heard? Obama is evil.
Well, anyway, someone told me that recently.
Of course, Bush and Cheney unevil. Or whatever.
Land sakes, we is gonna have Armageddon before ya know it!
Beautiful Mind somewhere, it's funny that you say that. Just earlier today I was perusing some old Finds and came across
http://foundmagazine.com/comments/1097
This one.
Girly handwriting. "Tough as nails"=hard as a rock?? You guys in Chi-town, represent.
@Robley.. I didn't mean to leave out other significant western states, but since i haven't actually witnessed "you guys" being said in those states, I didn't want to speak of things of which I know nothing. Even though I'm pretty sure that people say "you guys" in just about every state west of the Rockies and including the Rocky Mtn. states too.
I couldn't get the link to work. :( I am curious about soda pop coke.
Hmm.. that's interesting that people in Illinois and New York say "you guys." It was the mid-1980's when I lived in Wyoming, when I met those people from the east -- I think it was Baltimore, Maryland -- who laughed at us for saying "you guys" on the ski slopes. So maybe "you guys" has become more widespread since then. And if I had been less considerate, I could have laughed at their extreme accent too. But no, I didn't.
I wonder who started saying "you guys?"
I mean, I wonder who started the saying. I bet it was someone in California.
Btw, my husband's cousin worked in management at the Luxor for many years, until he retired. We visited him there once. Las Vegas is a trip.
So i guess I should have added the western state of Nevada, cuz I'm pretty sure I heard someone say "you guys" when we were there.
PS does anyone else think the freakin' hairy ass guy in the underwear AA ads is totally repulsive? bleh.
I feel like PR guy is creepy creeperton...
What happens in Vegas... ends up on the internet for all to ridicule. I hope their room was comp'd at least.
Oh, and I think it was "FR:", as in "from." FYI. I just said "FYI" to annoy you.
Oh, and this reminds me of a true story: my girlfriend back in the day was a "screamer" and so was her roommate. One day, her roommate/roommate's boyfriend and my girlfriend/myself had a "noisy sex competition" from opposite sides of the house. Classy, I know. Anyway, our team won.
We take a family trip to Niagara Falls pretty much every year, and one year, my daughter, who was 6 at the time, were awake in bed trying to go to sleep. Suddenly, our hotel neighbors started going at it. My poor daughter had no clue what was going on, and she got worried. She asked if someone was being hurt in there. I just told her some people were being silly, banged on the wall, and happily, they took the hint. A funny story in retrospect.
