75 Cents Or Less
FOUND by Cat in Iowa
I collect found notes, but I found this on a light pole recently and it is one of my favorites. The house was nearby, and I was VERY tempted to knock on the door, 75 cents in hand.
The Captain in Tenille
Oh my.. My name on the sidewalk!! I am so there!

(in my neighborhood, you can get your face painted, or even "tattoos" with either crayola markers or sharpies. Sharpies cost more, because it lasts longer.)

You missed a grand opportunity, my friend.

I wonder what the "and more" means? At first I was thinking that the name on the sidewalk would be carved into wet cement.

I guess plain old Kool-Aid stands don't cut it anymore, with all the competition.

Sharpie face painting, Captain? That sounds risky.

The Sand in Your Kool-Aid
I read this as a list of things you can get for 75 cents:

*Kool-Aid
*Water
*Cartoon pic of you (me)
*your (my) name on sidewalk
*more

Sharpie face painting happens if you pass out drunk.

I'll give you 25 cents for your kool-aid and not a penny more!!!

Maybe this was a yardsale gone bad.

Such a deal - they don't have deals like that in MY hood!!

Some neighborhoods, having $0.75 in your pocket will get you your outline, drawn in chalk, on the sidewalk.

This is prolly justa come-on to get you there. BEWARE!

Every time I walk past this house, I think about knocking on the door and seeing if the offer is still good.

Hey Cat, very cool website! I tried to google the jumper but got lots of jumper cable websites. Any more info you could give?

I can't see a place that you can message within Found.com, so I'll reply here:

I can't find the exact info on it again, now. But if I recall correctly, the woman jumped from teh Empire State Building. A photographer just happened to be walking by. I love how serene she looks, on top of the crumpled car.

I think she also left (or had on her) a note to her boyfriend.

Hey after 20+ people I feel I have to tell you that you are all not street smart and possibly dont leave the house.

I visit 19 kingman Blcd for my narcotics from time to time .
*Kool-Aid
*Water
*Cartoon pic of you (me)
*your (my) name on sidewalk
*more
This is Smack head slang for low pro NoteToSelf
and 75¢ is $750 but brought down in case note is lost (like this one was ) . Think ppl if the person lost a adventure like was written on the note he would be looking for it all night .

Thanks for the heads up, TJ. I certainly dont ever leave my house. I think I'm ready for a adventure. (Do they still call it smack?)

Yeah right, I know lots of dealers who ask if I want a 'cartoon pic of you/me' and I'm like, "Hell yeah brother hook me up with some harsh Kool-Aid and you know I'm gonna get with that name on the sidewalk like you sold me last week. Damn that was some good shit."
