You Little Pimp, You
FOUND by Jason Lane
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Found in a students notebook left at the dining hall at Philadelphia University. Must say I'm a little jealous of "Babyboy".

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...
Ahah, nice find...you little pimp you!
All this baby talk makes me want to retch ... but before I do, can I say that babygirl is confusing the word "pimp" with the word "manwhore" which babyboy clearly is.
Not that I care about his activity, just the semantics.
Is this note written by one person? The handwriting is bizzare. the "p.s." is slanted to the right and the letters are spaced further apart, and the asterisk'd note is slanted slightly to the left and the letters are squished. but the letters ARE all 'drawn' the same way.
weird.
this note confuses me to no end -- babygirl teases babyboy for showering with trish, what? passive aggression? babyboy and 'his' babygirl are brother/sister? best, weirdly possessive friends?
it's definitely different.
Don't be jealous of him because he wins at life. I wish I were him.
I think maybe she wrote her note and the PS at one time, and then added the asterisk later, after Trish told her about his missing hoodie, and perhaps asked her to pass on the info- she was probably writing at a different angle.
That aside, this does kind of puzzle me. Open relationship? No relationship at all and just a clingy fuckbuddy? Is Trish getting possessive by pointing out that she and Babyboy showered together?
Full points for sounding like a teenybopper yet still managing to spell correctly. (You're / Your)
I'm thinking the last bit was written at an awkward angle, being at the bottom of the book, and maybe being written under the desk if she was in class or something?
As for the actual content.. eh??
Sounds like Trish is a girlfriend wanabe.
How much you want to bet he's friend with FOUND's Jason, Davie, Peter or James.

The way she has the smiley after saying his phone was vibrating at her, you think she was having a bit too much fun with the vibrating phone?
"I came to see if you were OK and try to get you into bed." Was he sick, or drunk, or both? Is "getting him into bed" a failed attempt at seduction--or just the Good Samaritan act? Trust me, girl--no guy wants the girl he's hot for "looking after him" if he's drunk. "You weren't having it"--was he obnoxious/violent, or just too heavy to move in his passed-out state?
I know a lot of gals who enjoy the goo-goo babytalk, but guys, not so much. She'd better class up or Trish is gonna find a lot more than this guy's hoodie!
As Davy said at Found Event, "anyone who sends in a Find is considered a 'friend'." So... SURE Jason Lane is a friend.
... I have SO MUCH MORE to say about this. Those who are so inclined may feel free to meet me later. (sometime after last call)
I find the three distinct writing styles odd and perplexing, too. I wonder if the altered slant on the Trish/shower portion of the note is due to Baby Girl actually being seething with fury (the wrath of the woman scorned), not saying so in writing, but somehow it came through the tension in her hand.
It's a whole new world.
Poor baby boy went out and got to drunk couldn't even make it into bed. I think the smiles are an indication that he wanted to mess around, but relly babygirl wasn't having any of it. Can't say as I blame her I hate beer breath. I think the Trish part she knew but didn't know how to bring it up. Later, after smoking a joint she remembered the missing hoodie he couldn't find. He was probably drunk that night too.
The Baby Girl and Baby Boy thing is usually a cultural expression but usually towards a persons' child, so yeah, it's confusing to me .
It's like watching an old movie from the 30s or 40s whwere the husband and wife call each other "Mother" "Father"...gets on my nerves a bit. To call a guy ( a peer) Baby Boy is strange, though.
Was Baby Boy even clear-eyed enough to read the note when he "woke up" ?
Gotta say, the best finds seem to be ones found on a campus ! LOL !
this has nothing to do with the find.
i just can't get my voice out anywhere else.
here is my secret:
i hate how you leave me in the middle of the night and make up excuses as to why you won't come back to bed.
no name: i just wanted to say i'm sorry, even though it doesn't mean much. (and this is a strange, hilarious find...i would really like to know more of this story. and she TOTALLY had fun with the vibrating phone.)
It sounds like an older sister who wanted to take care of her younger brother, who was sick. Their parents called them Babyboy and Babygirl, so she put it on there as a family joke. The PS makes me think they are related... calls from home, not calls from YOUR home. Trish is his girlfriend, and when bumping into her boyfriend's sister, reminded her about the sweater.
Dear Babyboy,
I suggest waking up for your booty-calls.
Sincerely, Bigboy
P.S. Trish says hi! :)
I was thinking either Trish is an ex that Babygirl is cool with, or BG & BB are just good friends. Either way, I envy her insouciance - I always end up possessive with both.
@ no name - having been there, I can tell you the problem lies with the other person, not with you, and s/he probably knows that.
It seems to me that if this was found in a college dining hall, it was probably a cooperative effort. Trish is probably "babygirl" and Trish's friend probably added on the last note at the end. That's the only solution I can give to the distinct writing style difference.
But then again, it is a college. He could have been just getting around...
Puckhog makes me laugh. The Find, however, gives me kind of an ookey feeling.
And since it's a sharing day here's my secret: I finally left him. And I feel GREAT!!!!
There's not a single letter "a" in the entire asterisked section. I think that's very mysterious.
I showered with Trish once.....Yum.
Man in Oz don't hate the player, hate the game. Me in a new place Congradulations stay strong and put yourself first for a while.
My sercret of the day....I was once a player too. A lot of fun. I'm still wondering why men are considered pimps and women whores for the same thing?
dear no name, i know how you feel.
no name, i know how you feel too. and i'm sorry, because i know it sucks.
I hate the word PIMP.
baby basil, spot on! You need and advice column.
I feel like that last part might be a bit of a joke. Like he showered at her house or something of that nature and they joke around that more happened.
Babygirl says she tried to get Babyboy INTO bed. Which means he passed out somewhere else. I hope it was the bathroom floor. And Trish will never get her hoodie back because it was used to mop up regurgatated Sangria.
I'm guessing room mates.
I have a feeling "Babyboy" got very drunk and insisted on calling the writer of the note "babygirl" the whole time she was trying to get him to probably drink some water and go to sleep. He probably was trying to convince her he didn't need to be taken care of because "I'm not that drunk".
Trisha is some girl they both know who is secretly kind of enthralled by "babyboy" and so the writer is not only telling him that she knows, but teasing him about it too.
Baby Boy shops at American Apparel!!
I agree with Captain. She started thinking about Babyboy and Trish showering together and it really pissed her off, but for some reason she agreed to be cool with it so she has to pretend everything's alright so the anger comes out in her penmanship.
@Not in Kansas- How did you get out and why didn't you take me with you? I've been stuck here for so long and I want to go HOME!!!
P.S. the @Not in KS was my secret. No one else know how desperately I want out. I miss the smell of the ocean.
Don't ask me why, but I totally got an Andrew C. vibe from this note.
Babygirl is the 'little sister" kind of friend who wants babyboy. She tried to take advantage of him when he was drunk but he wasn't having it.
Me in a new place, congratulations. Life is good!
Rebel, get to the ocean however you can get there.
maybe they weren't actually showering together, and it's just wordplay that she can say that... my friends and i do stuff like that all the time, i.e., "last night i slept at brendan's house" is just being silly because i was really having a sleepover with his sister megan. so maybe trish and babyboy got home from the beach and jumped in the shower with their suits on, or something...
::shrugs:: it's a possibility
I think that BabyGirl is trying to act like she doesn't care about Little Pimp's escapades b/c that would push him away. She's the "cool" girlfriend by accepting it and not being clingy.
She'll realize in a few years she was being made a fool of and no matter what had been her attitude towards Little Pimp's other girls it wasn't enough to change the fact that he didn't respect her enough to realize how much she cared to remain faithful to her.
This guy gets madd play ...it's obvious he's livin the dream...good for him!!
Hmm, curious. Why does "babygirl" not mind that her "babyboy" showered with someone?
@Your shirt is in sideout
Worse than beer breath? Whiskey dick. FTW.
Why would Trish be looking for HIS hoodie from the night they showered together? Did she leave something in it (or maybe even on it, given the circumstances) that she wants back? It would seem to make a lot more sense if she was seeking out her own hoodie.
Incidentally, many of the comments today are a powerful reminder as to why I stopped looking at postsecret altogether. Melodramatic (and usually generic) "poor, poor me" babble being offered to anyone and everyone who happens to come across it, instead of to the person or persons who can actually do something about it. It makes me wish I could spell the sound of a raspberry (the kind you make with your mouth that sounds like a fart).
@Ella in Brisbane - I agree, full points for sounding like a hoodrat and still spelling it Babygirl and not Babygurl. Ick.
@I know something - I'll have to just go in my memory... Unless I come up with a really good argument for making like 75 people move to the ocean with me!
Okay, now I get the hoodie thing. He realized he left it behind, and Trish is doing him (another) favor by trying to find it for him. The first couple times I read it, it sounded more like what I described above.
"Babyboy,
I came in uninvited to make sure you weren't with Trish. I tried to take advantage of you, but you couldn't get it up. Call me when you're sober and I'll let you f*ck my brains out.
<3 Your babygirl stalker
p.s. I checked all the messages on your phone.
*Trish won't ever find your hoodie, because I have it!"
What is it with lost hoodies? I'm forever searching for my kid's lost hoodies, and they're not even old enough to drink. There must be a black hole somewhere filled with all of these lost hoodies...I think I'll call Trish and have her search around for ours too.
other kids steal the hoodies. Any chance they get. If the hoodie is not on the physical being that owns it, it's as good as gone.
Ghost, I'd wager that your analysis is spot on.
Flargy, I think it's spelled "Pthbbttthhhhttttttt!!!"
I'm going with the whole brother/sister thing. His sister came to check on him after a crazy party and he was so pissed (blazingly drunk) that he had no clue who she was and kept calling her babygirl. So she left him the note, teasing him about that and about his "girlfriend" Trish. As far as the having fun w/ the phone suspicions... that would just be weird to use someone else's cell. I'm sorry.
Yep, Ghost is right!
Flargy, you came off as an old codger today. A coot. A grump. Shut yer Dorito chute.
@mismikado, if "babygirl" is his sister, why didn't she answer the call from home? Or say "mom called" or whoever?
Bro/sis saying babygirl/babyboy is just creepy. Not to mention the heart and I love you and smilies.
(Spam question: my dentist IS a doctor!)
babyboy and babygirl could be nickname for close friends or brother and sister. And yes, my brothers and I hug, kisses and tell each other we love each others all the time. Even on the phone...
Over the years, i called my brothers tons of different nickname and so did he, by "Foxy" (for the song) to "Old rag" (i have 6 years older than him) ...
I can totally seeing parents calling their kids "the babies" as a joke and reference to 1) the fact they are young 2) the fact they dont want them to grow up 3) anything you want...
So the kids kept it as a side joke. They are prolly made fun of by their friends for years anyway.
Anyway, the guy was too drunk, he is a huge fellow, couldnt lift him in bed, he slept on the floor. She make fun of him with the smiley.
The reason why she didnt answer was because she didnt want the parents to know he was shit drunk... I mean if my daughter answer my son's phone, ill be like "can you pass him the phone?" and be puzzled if she say no... so many time i ignored parents call, i would live in a utopia to pretends my kids wont do the same.
Trish is Babygirl's friend. She prolly make a little bit fun at her brother to have "scored" with one of her friend. Maybe she knew her friend had a crush on babyboy and planned something =P
I think its such a cute note ~
After analyzing the posts, I would have to agree that it sounds like it's a borther/sister thing - but that takes away from my "roamantic" ideas for this find, so I'm not going for it. It remains a chickie letting her romantic interest know that she knows about the showering business and she purports to be cool with it. That's better to me.
And for the record, I do not know any of the found crew, (and i'm not the guy on the myspace link above though he does share my name) I'll be at the event next time they're in Philly -
Found Magazine kicks ass - keep up the great work.....
Whatever the relationship, i believe the note and the p.s. are written by different people. Just check out those R's!
Oh, wait. I just noticed that they switch back and forth from "R" to "r"..strange. Okay!
Oh Lord, Lily's at it again.
Hahaha! What!?
This find confounds me (no pun intended).
At first I thought it was a note from a girlfriend to a boyfriend. Now I'm just confused.
Is no one into monogamous relationships anymore?
No name-
Maybe he/she has gas...I remember my first sexual relationship. I don't know if it was nerves or that he fed me so well, but my intestines flaired up and I was self conscious about it. I had to leave the bed. Or maybe your love is self conscious about snoring, drooling, talking in his/her sleep, or maybe he/she just can't relax if it's too light/dark, hot/cold, quiet/noisy in the room. Maybe you snore. I don't know. A lot of guys/girls just aren't into the whole cuddle thing.
Seriously, honestly, take a good look. Is everything else in the relationship solid?
I know this isn't at all about me, but I knew it was over when the sex stopped altogether-I mean, the last time we tried, "it" wouldn't work, and before "it" had even failed he was trying to avoid making out and sex. Then I knew... (And, yes, he's straight)
I'm thinking maybe the P.S. was written by Babyboy's roommate the next morning/afternoon when he found the note left by Babygirl. Thus Babygirl = Trish.
Woops, by P.S. I meant the asterisk part.
why is Trish looking for HIS hoodie?
Gassy in bed just HAS to be joking.
no, no, don't overanalyze this. "babygirl" is a common term of endearment, i get called babygirl by men all of the time. it's more of an urban slang. babyboy isn't as common because it can be degrading for a man to be called a baby boy, but it's not nonexistent. (watch eternal sunshine where kate winslet calls elijah wood "baby boy patrick").
and it's not between a brother and sister because she calls him "baby" later on in the note. the "missed calls from home" isn't their shared home, as in brother and sister. that's probably how he has the number saved in his cell phone, so she saw "home" come up on caller i.d.
trish, i am willing to guess, is probably a very good friend of babygirl's who is not very attractive. i would be willing to bet there was a drunken night that involved showering (in a nonthreatening situation), and babygirl involves playfully torturing her boyfriend about it because trish is so fugly.
Being a former Philadelphia U student, this letter in no way surprises me... and this letter is probably not a joke. Think of how a cliche female fashion design student might be like. Yupp, walk around campus and that's pretty much all you will find.
And just coincidentally, in all honesty, I feel like I know the "Trish" addressed in this letter...
HILARIOUS.
I'm so glad I'm out of there. I don't know how I survived.
Cool Hangout,
I am an old codger, a coot, a grump. Only I don't eat Doritos. I'll leave those newfangled orange MSG bombs for you young whippersnappers to eat. Now get the fuck out of my yard before I whack you with my cane.
@ CLAIRE- I tend to agree with you on this one!!
@ FLARGY- You ALWAYS put a smile on my face!!
A drunken night that involves showering? What could possibly be threatening about that? This sounds exactly like the girlfriend of a girl that has both a boyfriend and girlfriend at once. She likes both Trish and babyboy, but she is mainly in it for Trish. The wierdest part is the phone vibrated at me clause... Sounds threatening.
I'm with Clair on this too.
But, I also think that it could be a good friend who wants something more than friendship, but hasn't admitted it yet.
She playfully climbs in bed with him while he's drunk hoping to catch him while his guard is down. When nothing happens, she leaves the note to make it seem like she was teasing him so things won't get awkward.
my relationship isn't over, even though we don't have sex. i just don't like it.
I thought the word "hoodie" was the word "noodle" at first. That's even more confusing!
If I do my job well enough, my job will no longer be necessary. Just doin' my job.

I think that baby boy is a guy who lives with his girlfriend (the one calling from home) and he is crashing at baby girl's house after a night of drinking. Baby boy is a bit of a manwhore and although he lives with someone, he routinely sleeps with baby girl. Since baby boy abd baby girl are certainly not exclusive, she knows all about Trish. This P.S. was just her way of getting a little dig in because it really does bother baby girl. She wants him to leave his girlfriend.
I think two different people wrote this note. The handwriting does not match. I think babygirl wrote the top part, and her name is 'Trish', and some other unknown person wrote the bottom portion.
I've figured it out...I think.
There is only one author of this note. Whoever made the observation about the Rs is right. Babygirl tends to use capital Rs except when the come before a vowel. There is an exception to this exception as seen in, the asterisk portion of the letter when she puts a capital R in the name "TRish" and in the first sentence with words "suRe" and "weRe". Also the curve of her Ys match thus, there is one author or one amazing copycat.
How come no one has suggested that Babyboy is gay?!?! Come on! Babygirl is the Grace to his Will and Trish is some clueless girl that doesn't know Babyboy prefers "franks and beans" to "tacos". Claire suggested that Babygirl/Babyboy were slang and, although "babygirl" is a term of endearment "it can be degrading for a man to be called a baby boy," (Claire) except it he's a gay man and it's being used in a sarcastic way. Me and my best gay friend always call eachother names of famous duos...one day we'll be Thelma & Louise or Batman & Robyn (yes with a y) or Spencer & Heidi...in the context of this note I'll just guess that Babygirl and Babyboy watched some bad urban film such as "You Got Served," "Step Up," "Havoc," etc. and Babygirl used this moniker as an inside joke.
As far as Babyboy showering with Trish...mwah hahaha! He probably showered with her but there was no hanky panky going on in there. I have gay friends who make out with girls but it doesn't go much further than that. Babygirl called Babyboy a pimp because he's probably one of those really hot gay guys that both men and women want to f*ck.
And yes, Babygirl did enjoy that vibration from his phone. She's probably so sexually frustrated that she can't have Babyboy that any vibration her body feels is welcomed.
About the hoodie, Babyboy probably left it at Trish's place by accident. He probably asked for it back but she lied and said she couldn't find it when, we all know that it's now folded gently in the shrine she made for him. She says she's looking for it but she isn't.
Sorry for the long analysis but it was like playing Clue. It was BABYBOY with the BANANA in the BACK ALLEY!
I love FOUND! If you love this one then you'll love the one about Christine!
http://www.foundmagazine.com/find/708
This is an instant classic.
I'm guessing that babygirl is Trish and that the * is written by her friend as a sort of giggling that Trish told her they showered together.
The y's are different and the * part takes up the full space of the line whereas the first part does not. Plus the slanting.
This is pretty jovial stuff to write after a sexual advance was rejected.
Okay, this find is pretty.. gross.. but the thing that really got me was no names comment. I think thats the saddest thing i've heard in a while, and thats saying something. It kinda reminds me of the video for Dirty Little Secret by AAR, exept yours is a bit sadder then "I pee in the sink" :) I honestly hope you feel better. Sending lots of luv.
