Lick It Up, Baby
FOUND by Phat B
in Orange, California
I found this wedged in a used copy of "Brief Interviews With Hideous Men" that I ordered from Amazon. The erased word in the middle is "hipsters."

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...
...and so the pot calls the kettle black?
found in orange and written in portland....hmmm, how things travel.
I have to say, "being a cockbag" is a new expression to me. I may have to start using that one.
...so... this is the writer's entry into the "gripe, bitch and moan while attempting (and failing) to be witty" contest?
I think he's got a real chance at the prize.
"Cockbag"...would that be the male equivalent to "bitchbag" as in a previous Find? I think it must be the name for those little leather purses European men used to carry (and stopped carrying when bag-snatching became the order of the day in the 80's.)
I must ask my friends to start carrying cockbags again. Gives a whole new meaning to "athletic supporter."
This find is a real hampsterpiece!
WW = William Wordsworth?
i'm not going to pretend that i know what a hamsterpiece is.
Soooo... is it from Gene Simmons?
At first I kinda thought the author was talking about the Found comment board. (What! Only kinda kidding!)
Love you all.. happy Jerry Day. Go out and Dance Naked around a Tree today. Or something.
Blah blah blah.
Monkey, why do you assume it's a he? ;-)
What is a high school Heathers competition???
@j in portland.. how do you know it was written in Portland? Which Portland?
Besides "hipsters" I think there is a word missing after key. I think the missing word is "phrases." I wonder why those words were erased.
Clover... The movie Heathers with Winona Rider from 1989 (had to look up the date). It's Mean Girls from the eighties but a bit darker.
Cockbag (from urbandictionary.com):
A word used describe someone who acts in a manner that causes that person to appear to have the personality of hairy, sweaty beanbag.
Generally speaking, a "cockbag" is a reference to a plastic recepticle other than a condom or grocery bag used to prevent unwanted pregnancies.
A. A superb word to describe anything and everything that you dont like.
B. A Ball Sack. (Synonym: A Hairy Bean Bag.)
"Lick it up, Baby...Lick it up" Oh, so the author thinks h/she is Mick Jaggar now??
I don't THINK so!
Go back to your drawing board and continue on with your theatre/musicical reviews...isn't that what you do best? You *wee, little* cockbag!
@ Feeling, hamsterpiece = masterpiece
Haha! Where did 'ball-chinion' come from? Some dumb-ass movie...
I say leave the high school competition alone.
The writer sounds like a cockbag.
This must have been written in Portland Oregon. The Mercury is a weekly hipster, out there newspaper. and WW stands for Willamette weekly. Another weekly newspaper but I think more widely read. Not so out there and a great place to find live bands and they have much better articles. I think I would have to agree with author of this note... but I haven't read the mercury in a very long time.
@Kite.. thank you for deciphering the Portland clues. I wonder if it's raining there today too?
@Myha, thank you for explaining about the Heathers competition. I never saw that movie. I was too busy at home with my baby Heather in 1989!
that's too funny, Heather's mom.
sounds like a letter to the editor of The Mercury. I hope they did some editing before sending it in. anything with "cockbag' in it will not be published.
clover in oregon rain, but not in portland:
nice and sunny here today! rained last night though.
i love the mercury because it is so ridiculous most of the time. you can tell the writers are just a bunch of punk kids and adults who spend a LOT of time trying too hard.
@
Holly the Homemaker in Toronto -
One of Winona Rider's lines in Heathers is also "lick it up, baby... lick it up." I believe that's what the note's author is referencing.
I think I saw a hamsterpiece in one of those freaky Europeon sex shop catalogs. Only $19.99 plus shipping and handling
Apparently, it takes a cockbag to know a cockbag.
Is a "hamsterpiece" a really, really small "codpiece"? You know, for some guy with a really, really small . . . . .
Heathers is such a funny movie with such great dark humor. Christian Slater at his best!
The line "lick it up baby, lick it up" follows when one of the Heathers fights with Winona Ryder's character after Winona throws up on her shoes... she's telling her to lick it up (meaning her vomit)...
my favorite line is when Christian Slater says, "I don't really like your friends"
and Winona says "neither do i"
(not sure if that's the exact quote but its hilarious)... I didnt know that movie was still popular, but it might be a cult classic.
"Tonight on Hamsterpiece Theatre, 'Dorothy's Still in Fucking Kansas'.... a ribald set piece of classic mid-western sitting room comedy....
so then is a cockbag the same as a hamsterpiece? (teeny tiny codpiece?)
Smallbear, ever seen Cookie Monster as Alistair Cookie, introducing Monsterpiece Theater on Sesame Street? I had no choice but to read your post in Cookie Monster's voice. (YES!! COOKIE Monster. NOT celery monster. Not Veggie Monster. C is for Cookie. That's good enough for me.)
HAHA @Smallbear & Sunnyday: I, too, heard the voice of Cookie Monster doing Monsterpiece Theater when I read the post.
2 great finds today!
@Sunny day I will admit that I thought of Monsterpiece Theater when I saw the word Hamsterpiece. Funny how certain shared cultural experiences like "Sesame Street" and the sketch Monsterpiece Theater become mini-memes for people
like ourselves who are of a certain age. Whereas if you are older than 45 you probably don't understand the reference. Interesting.
On the other hand, Cubby, if you're over 45, you may have watched Sesame Street with your children and understand "Monsterpiece Theatre" better than they ever did.
Night you're right of course. Didn't intend any kind of slight or insult to friendly birdies like yourself.:->
Cubby, don't call Nightingale "Night." She doesn't like that. Just sayin'.
I'm over 45 (just) and I remember the pilot episode of Sesame Street being shown on TV. It was shown in the evening to reach the parental audience. CTW was a brand-new venture and they wanted parent approval very badly for what was a new concept in kid's TV. Gone were the host-centred formats of Captain Kangaroo, Busy Kindergarten and Romper Room. In came the Muppets (who had occasionally appeared on CK), animation, concept teaching of letters and numbers and an ensemble cast including (gasp!) minorities playing "normal" (ie non-comic relief) roles. They even had snippets in Spanish, which was a totally new idea for viewers in the rural Midwest.
I don't remember "Monsterpiece Theatre." I wish it was on YouTube. I fell in love with Kermit instantly.
Does anyone remember Rufus, the fuzzy white Dog-muppet? He didn't appear much, I guess because he couldn't talk, only panted. But I loved him and always hoped he would show up.
@Monkey: haha, you're right. I'd say the author sealed the win for the Heathers competition with this little gem.
I like the term "hamsterpiece". It's cute.
Orinoco,
I don't remember saying that. I don't mind "Night" at all. What I really don't like are the spaces in "Night in gale", but that's the way it registered. Oh well. No one will read this or care. Thank you for closing the spaces and making my name the one word I wish it would be. 8-)
Sincerely,
Nightingale
PS to Smallbear: No problem. 8-)
All together now (in Kermit's voice):
Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
(or do I mean
It's not easy being green...)
Nighty: oh yes we do (read this, and care )*j*( xx )
It's not easy being green.
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things.
And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water-
Or stars in the sky....
But green's the color of Spring.
(*hee hee Jonathan.. I thought it was "Nighty" that Nightingale didn't like?!*)
@ orinoco Why would you care what I called someone else on this board? I use Night for convenience and like you would a friend's first name in rl. I've sometimes used Nighty as a term of endearment because she calls me Cubby. I love being called Cubby by Nightingale btw.
Nightingale, just let me know if you don't like what I call you, I'll stop. I have the highest regard for people's opinion in such matters. :>
It's ok Cubby. Orinoco meant well. You would not believe the time I wasted looking for the comment I couldn't remember saying I didn't like being called "Night". But I found it on "Beach note" http://www.foundmagazine.com/comments/2100 , and the way it went down was:
"nadine said:
Anyway, you are right, Mona. If you read the night's link, Tom does seem to live there year round."
+ December 03, 2007 12:01 PM +
To which I replied:
"Night in gale
Nadine, I'm not "the night", I'm Nightingale."
So, call me whatever you want Night, Nighty, (Ninety-only for Crisis situations), just don't call me "the night" and don't call me late for dinner. xx
Look what happens when you try to defend a friend's honour...I'll just take me singed fur and paws to the Thames for a hollyday...maybe a walk along the Embankment.
Awww Orinoco. Pay Smallbear no mind. His bark is worse than his bite. I appreciate your care. And I'm always glad to read your comments. 8-)
You too, Cubby. And Jonathan. And even you, you stranger quietly observing up there. xx
@Night and Orinoco sorry for all the trouble I've caused. I really didn't mean to. I suppose I've been a little paranoid lately after the trouble with the Aliens. And maybe a little grumpy as I haven't been feeling well the last couple of days. Think I'll just stick with Night from now on.

I located the Portland Mercury website and threw in a search for 'hamsterpiece'.
After ten minutes skimming over that 'article' and flouncing about the website, I suddenly sympathise with the author.
Hipsters are cockbags.
so true! but i think the ww is just as bad.
