Nude L's
FOUND by Em
in Simi Valley, California
I found this post-it shopping list affixed to my cart at the local Vons grocery store. All of the items are your standard shopping list staples & except for the last one. For the life of me, I can't figure out what "Elbow Nude L's" are. Elbow macaroni? A special brand of nylons? A CD by an obscure Brit-pop band?

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...
they mean to say "elbow noodles"
NOODLES.
It was so frustrating when I couldn't leave comments before. It's not some wild, zany thing. The author of this list was mixing it up a bit. Nude L's. Noodles.
yeah. noodles. probebly the low fat type... nobody wants to see those nude Ls if they fat.
hahaha - i want some!
no no no... its nude lesbians!
:P
I do this all the time with shopping lists, little personal abbreviations to amuse myself.
Elbow formed at my College. Small world.
yeah, i do this actually, like if i'm going to get lettuce, usually my list will say something like let us pray instead of just lettuce. or maybe they just didn't know how to spell....
haha that last comment reminds me of when i was a little kid.. for some reason i used to say 'let us' instead of 'let's' - so i would say 'let us go out and play' and my sister would respond 'tomato i don't want to'!!
-giggles- Nude L's Sounds like something i would write on my list for 'noodles'. Then again I always do things like that.
:] That one's adorable though.
lol thats pretty funny :)
When we were kids my brother and I used to say "Please pass the butt-hair" at the table. My dad would respond "As long as you eat every bean and pea on your plate." My mother would just roll her eyes.
That's hilarious..your dad was a funny guy.
Yeah Simi Valley!!!
I've seen some pretty weird abbreviations on shopping lists. The best one so far has been my mom's abbreviation of Choc. Soup for chocolate syrup.
I'm guessing L'Eggs pantyhose...
I'm going to start doing this. For hot-dogs, I'll say "meat sticks." For chicken, turkey, etc., I'll say "dead birds." Toilet paper will be "butt wipes." That's all I can come up with for now.
I have tears running down my face from laughing so hard at this! Also 'meat sticks' is hilarious.
@G in Norman, that's the first thing i thought of, too. Nude as opposed to Suntan.
My Dad used to make tons of turkey soup after Thanksgiving. He'd label it for the freezer as "Turkish Soap."
I actually first thought of a flesh-colored elbow brace. But it probably is noodles.
I guess the person who wrote this might have a German background because here noodles are called "Nudeln"...
I'm 100% sure that Ruthie's first guess is right. After many years of working in healthcare & purchasing many types of braces, I'd go wih a nude-colored elbow brace, size L...probably for a family member. If it were for herself, she probably wouldn't need to note the size.
Another indicator is that cat food is written specifically as "dry", so why would this person use code for something. This was probably written for a man to do the shopping while the lady is home recovering. The shopper probably doesn't feed the cat, so he needs direction as to what to buy. We do need to be specific when sending someone to do our errands!
Nah, I'm 100% sure it's noodles..
I often specify "dry" cat food on my lists, how else would I remember if I was running low on dry or canned?
And if the list was meant to be for someone else, wouldn't they have provided a brand name? Type of bread? Amount of lunch meat/rolls?
Also, I don't think they'd need more than one Elbow brace (note the "L's")
Ha! From now on, I'm ONLY writing it "Nude L's"
Although, I used to make horrible fun of my husband's ex after I found an old forgotten shopping list in a drawer.

*continued mockery of the English language*
He says she wasn't doing it to be funny. *eye twitch*
The funny part is...I had never heard of Elbow (the band) when I originally posted this photo. Now they're one of my favorite bands!
G0o Simi Valley! and nice intriguing find, especially for Simi. :)
