FOUND by Ken
in Grand Rapids, Michigan
Found this while walking to the store. It was lying by the sidewalk, across the street from a well-known (and LOUD) party house, at the intersection of Fuller & Fulton. Having just discovered your website a few days ago, I was pleased with this find. I'm scanning the ground like a dork every time I leave the house now.

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...
Why yes, yes, they are.. but .. the kids are all riiiight!
"Fuller and Fulton"--what a tongue-twister! Not to mention confusing if you don't know the area. Imagine some fucked-up kids appearing on the wrong street looking for that loud party!
BTW, "dorks" don't scan the ground for finds. Only the cool kids do that.
This seems redundant to me.
Those fucked up kids are crazy.
Those crazy kids aer fucked up.
Yep. Redundant.
They're nice kids if you ask me
SWEET! 'nuff said......
Perhaps this is a temporary "Fucked up".. your Honor, I plead "not guilty by reason of being temporarily fucked up". Somehow, I don't think that would fly.
But boy it would be great if it did....
Maybe they were crazy first.
Of course they were crazy first! That's no excuse. Have you ever met someone who wasn't crazy?
@Feeling ... Well, I know I'M normal. It's all the rest of you I've been concerned about. (isn't that how most of us feel at some level?)
Librarian, i feel like the entire world is normal, and i'm crazy, but crazy is the only way to be.
@Librarian... Define "normal"
And if we weren't all crazy, life would be boring.
A little crazy isn't a bad thing. It makes life more interesting. Now.. being fucked up, wellll.
And I don't feel like a dork when I scan the ground every time I leave the house. I still haven't located a "found-worthy" item just yet, but I know I will.
Damn. I had to get the calculator out for the spam question.
Now, THAT's fucked up!
Oh, By the way, Welcome, Ken from Grand Rapids Michigan. I hope you're still coming to this website.
Non-dorks tred on landmines.
Kids who are fucked up and crazy often turn out to be more level-headed, stable adults than their "normal" peers end up being.
@ Feeling ... well, "normal" would be like me, I guess. (That would include any voices in my head, occasionally blurred vision and slurred speech, mental aptitude scores in the stratosphere, delusions of grandeur, feelings of inferiority, and so on.)
Oh... Well then I'm normal too.
@ Flargy... That has not been my observation.
@ Feeling ... that doesn't mean I'm not going to be suspicious and concerned about you
of course those kids are crazy, everyone's crazy in one way or another(especially the people who think they are sane...those are the ones you have to look out for)
it's being fucked up part we should strive to avoid.
...or did the writer mean it in a slang "fucked up" meaning drunk/high?.... of course drunk/high kids would act crazy!
I like being dorky. Dorky is cool. Therefore people who scan the ground looking for finds are cool. Welcome to Ken, another foundfanatique! (Are you one of the commenters too?)
Ma-Mama, we're all crayzee now..!
I like how the finder, Ken, called his Find simlply KEN. for some reason that actually makes me chuckle. Okay, I'll be honest. It makes me laugh maniacally.
OMG! Is this find an omen?? I am just about to leave to work at a camp with LOTS of kids.
(I knew I shouldn't have turned on my computer this morning...)
Those celibate down adults are sane!
Hahaaha! So sorry for you, Fooch.
May the force be with you
Whew! Glad to see that the fucked-up kids are having a go at being the crazy ones for once. And here I thought the normal kids would carry that stigma with them to their graves.
I used to get fucked up all the time. Kinda miss those days....
Those fucked up kids are really nice and are having a good time.
he kid (well, he's almost 30, but i call him a kid cuz he's not grown up. Well, neither am i, but at least i'm considerate of my neighbours) next door to me has been playing loud music all day every day, and into the night, ever since his mom went on holidays. I think she went on holidays. I hope he didn't kill her.
OMG!! Hahahahaha! I am going to repeat Noddy and Turbo's comments, cuz I am laughing hysterically! I want more! More!
"Those celibate down adults are sane!"
"I like how the finder, Ken, called his Find simlply KEN. for some reason that actually makes me chuckle. Okay, I'll be honest. It makes me laugh maniacally."
@fooch, you might want to print up this page of comments to take with you to camp. Just in case you start feeling a little too sane.
While it's still today's find: what in the world would be the reason for someone having carefully printed this little note in ALL CAPS on what looks like a sticky name-tag, and then adhering it to a rough piece of corrugated cardboard?
Was the music THAT LOUD that two passersby couldn't talk to each other and had to write snide comments back and forth?
No idea why someone would write this on a sticky label and adhere it to a piece of corrugated cardboard.. but I DO love the handwriting. Mostly the Es and Rs. they're kind of cool, but I'm not sure why.
I'm from GR as well, and I've seen a couple stickers laying around much like this one, and they always make me laugh.
@ flargy: i'd like to read your memoir.
Isn't being crazy and fucked up the entire point of college?
You've gotta' be wee bit *insane* to be *sane*....
Haha, I know that party house!
Fun fact: once, I was stopped at that intersection at night and saw something happening in one of the uncurtained upstairs rooms that involved a naked dude and what appeared to be a video camera.
I added to your internet fame just now by sharing that, Party House!
But are they crazy when their not fucked up?
Two people looking over the river in Paris:
A: Look, someone just jumped off the Pont Neuf.
B: He must be in Seine.
I saw that cartoon in the newspaper this week. Bizarro, I think.
Librarian and Beldar.. that's hilarious! Sticky labels, all-caps, and corrigated cardboard.
Tori, I hope you collected them and submitted them to Found!
Hey DeLonghi, I was glancing down and there's a blue whale in the "More Finds" at this very minute. It looks seems strangely familiar.
*It seems strangely familiar.* Oups.
I'm from Grand Rapids! Unlike these other kids, I've never been to the "Party House". I'm out of the loop. :(
(spam question: 28x15=? ?=420 -you clever kids)
It seems as if Coco is not out of the loop after all.
So is Hooch. He's seriously crazy.
@Clover--Is that a hint about DeLonghi's "true" identity?
@Blackbird:
and there was this Egyptian guy who fell in the river but swore he hadn't.
He was in de Nile.
it might be, mlm. If you're in the loop. or out of the loop. I can never keep track of whether i'm in or out, or which side is the most fun.
I used to live across from this house...and one time last year, I got home at like, 4 am, and one of the little cretins was asleep on my porch- woke up, and was like, sorry I got lost, and then ran off screaming like he was on fire...
that is just one of our many treasured stories of these neighbors... I must be honest I think they are fucked up all the time, and therefore the previous question about whether they are crazy all the time or just when they are fucked up is null....
@M, so Ken must be your former neighbor, right? do you know him?
Hey! That's right by where I live! I've never seen a find on the site that was nearby me.
Holy crap. I never comment here (well, almost never), so I was surprised to see my Find posted so long after I sent it in.
About the cardboard; I found the sticker with the sticky side bare... so I stuck it a bit of cardboard to make scanning easier. And it looks better than if it were stuck to plain white paper...
I was living on Baldwin ST (right around the corner) at the time, but have since moved to the outskirts of town.
@M: The house RIGHT ON THE SW CORNER, right? A band practices there?
Oh and the 'praying lady' who haunts the area now has feathers & horns stuck on her head. Nice enough old broad if ya talk to her ;)
Hey, Ken! Thanks for checking in! (and clarifying that the sticker wasn't attached to the cardboard when Found... It looks GOOD on there, though.) How long ago did you send in the Find? (just wondering)
This Find reminds me of another Partyhouse in another time... one of my HS friends' favorite phrase to call a chick was "crazy fucked up mental bitch."
@Delonghi Model CT12:
At least a year ago. Not too sure :/
Not so much in the loop, more in a Moebius strip...
Moebius? WTF
ok. here's what.
the 'fucked up kids' have a sort of pussy vandalism thing going around grand rapids [particularly eastown and south division, coffee shops, venues, record store's right].
while i like graffiti for the most part, i think their shit's just tacky and tired. ehh
Moebius strip:
http://tinyurl.com/8bbgw
A loop with a twist in it so it only has one surface. But if you're in the loop you'll always be on the other side of everyone else!!
What in the world is pussy vandalism?
*anxiously scans around for fucked up kids*
@kiki in the coffeeshop
Very bad graffiti or very small bricks through the window? I'm guessing.
Hickory dickory dip,
The mouse in the Moebius strip.
The strip revolved,
The mouse dissolved
In a multi-dimensional flip!
When I saw this I was like "hey! I've seen that!." And then I realized... I have, since it's from Grand Rapids. There were actually many of these posted, mostly around the Eastown area. They all said something about "The fucked up kids" and many were a bit more creative than this. I'm pretty sure I know the tagger whose doing this was, as well.
Hey---
I used to live right there. Just a block away on Lowell. It's not surprising that nothing has changed. It's a college area, so it's always had it's "kids".
Big "Hey" to ya'll in Grand Rapids! I miss the place.
I should be so proud to say that yesterday afternoon I drove by a large green house with music a-bumpin' and I thought, I wonder if this is the house from that Found that I said I had no clue what house it was. And it was. Fuller & Fulton, indeed. Quite the parties apparently. It was like 4:30 in the afternoon.
