The Dotes Are the Ships
FOUND by Michael
in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
These were plastered all over the streetlights in my neighborhood. They have been up for weeks, not sure what date I was supposed to be looking up. And where do you even find foolscap anymore?

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...
Shit yeah! The zigzags are finally coming to save us!
Hey, and I'm a Taurus. Glad to be part of the solution!
I live in the same neighbourhood and i saw the posters but i didnt see the guardians and im still waiting for the destruction
If the exclamation points are anything to go by, this must be true! Also a disturbing number of hyphens. I don't think I've ever seen a combination of the alien and the bible that is so convincing.
Are the lines going to appear in the sky too?
I would agree--this is no joke, this person has a serious disorder that requires immediate attention. There is no mention of "guardians" in the Bible, for a start, particularly not in relation to Revelation.
"Oh, those bright things in the sky that just sit there with no refraction are really just planets? oh, heck, why didn't you tell me sooner! That's it, cancel the major destruction, peoples."
wow. wow wow wow. i'm digging this find.
doomDooOmdOOMdoomDOOMdoom...
gotta love this one - especially the creative spelling and the picture.
but seriously, someone give the poor guy a telescope and a bible.. and maybe a little herbal tranquillizer so he can make sense of what happens around him again.
great find! keep 'em coming
"I'm gonna sing the doom song now!...doom doom doom doom, doooooom... doomydoomydoom..."
i wonder which version of the bible this guy is reading...?
there were seven seals, not six.
maybe he means, six, besides this one.
baby basil, this man does have religious delusions, but seems pretty harmless.
At first I read the "ALDEBARAN" as "LIBRARIAN". And I though "Oh no! One of our own is involved in an alien conspiracy".
You're not, are you?
This FIND reminds of that movie that Bruce Willis starred in...*Seven Monkeys*? I believe that was the name of it. Brad Pitt was in it, too.
Great FIND, though.
The woman who wrote up this poster has serious astronomical delusions, too. (or is that "serious astronomical delusion's too!!"?)
Personally, I'm most concerned about the six dotes that are not tied into a VEE formation. Are they rogue dotes?
@Holly: It was Twelve Monkeys, and now that you mention it, it reminds me of that too. THE TWELVE MONKEYS ARE RESPONSIBLE. 10,000,000 DEAD. A VIRUS?
...or something like that.
@ NOBODY- Thank-You! Twelve Monkeys...that was a fabulous movie!
I think a rogue agent from Serius wrote this one, trying to warn the People's of the Earth about the infiltration of the "Guardian's" from Aldebaran. They say they are coming for our own good, but clearly they are an occupying force that will harvest our brains for food. The whole tear in the atmosphere thing is just a red herring. This is no joke, people's.
Am I the only one that thought of Riley Martin (Howard Stern wack packer)? I always wonder what these people do once the world doesn't end. They just keep changing the end date.
Sweet! An excuse to call in to work today. I'm sure they will be thankful I warned them. Maybe I'll get even get a raise!
@ Feeling ... maybe I am and maybe I'm not.
Has anyone seen my lamb?
I like how it's addressed to our punctuation, not to us.
Makes sense to me. Like the logic being used on the podium at the Republican convention last night. The dotes are real, yes they are.
Playing scrabble, yes, now i see it. I'm glad someone is warning the exclamation points. Everyone uses them, no one thinks to tell them what's happening.
"I think we had a misunderstanding. I said something about major destruction, but it was just make beleive. I didn't really mean it. I'm sorry if I scared you . . . ."
Art Bell.
I used to drive very late at night and for entertainment, I would listen to Art Bell on am radio and all those wacko-alien-conspiracy calls.
This find totally reminds me of one those calls.
I love it!
Tom Cruise, why do you pull this crap every time you have a movie coming out?
Yes, yes! I remember the last time this happened, in the year 500 (that was a hellava year)!
I am so excited to experience this awesome event again. Who would have thought?
This gives added dimension and backstory to the series V.
Those extra dotes, they are bothering me more than the exclamation points. Are they "extras", sent along to use as distractions? Piloted by suicide bombers, set off a few explosions and no one will notice the rest of the destruction going on all around? We need to check into this one..
Then again, is that a page from Tony Dungee's playbook for the Colts next game?
nevermind.
On behalf of Christians everywhere... I appologize for nutjobs like this.
Makes me wonder if this guy was reading the Message :-P And there are 7 of everything in Revelation, not six.
Now I wanna find those zigzaggy stars to see if the end of the world is coming!
oatmealio, i hate to break it to you, but the raise won't do you much good if the world has ended.
42 is the answer.
You people need to work on your biblical exegesis. Passages found in the book of 2nd Hezikiah clearly indicate that the guardians of aldebaran are coming to destroy major parts of the earth without refraction.
Unless, of course, the author of this note is a bit potty brained and needs to seriously rethink his eschatology.
Should I be embarrassed that I had to look up "foolscap"? (then, I had to look up and see if was spelling "embarrassed" correctly--I was.)
Somebody needs to get this guy a public access TV show, and fast! Before the next astro-biblical spaceship catastrophe, anyway.
mlm, I had never heard the word "foolscap" before either. I don't like it.
Wait...they can spell ATMOSPHERE and CONSTELLATION but they can't spell DOT?
Hmm....maybe THEY are one of them....
Star Wars meets Revelation and this guy is their televangalist.
I'm all for banning any future use of "foolscap". Elitist fucks.
I love the part when the procession of monks go from village to village flagellating themselves. So grotesque!
Wait, I guess that's after the sixth seal, isn't it?
This was my find, and it was from at least 6 months ago (too many great finds I suppose). But the best part is that a week or so ago we started seeing them again. I didn't notice if it was edited this time to say "last seen a few months ago!" instead of "thousands of years ago". Perhaps their math was a little shaky last time.
P.S. Maybe foolscap is a Canadian thing?
i don't even know where to begin with this one... WOW.
We used foolscap when i was in school. As i recall, its extra long (I guess legal sized)pad of lined paper , right?
I'm going to start calling all the elitist fucks that i come into contact with by their proper name from now on.
Elitist fucks.
If you scrunch your eyelids together and defocus your eyes just slightly - you can see that the connected dotes spell MONA.
Not so fast with your biblical interpretation there, buddy! (I'm not sure at whom that is directed, but I thought it sounded good.)
The "six seals" (or, to read the Find literally, "six seal's") are from the book of Revelation, chapter 6. Yup! There are only six of them. The "seventh seal" doesn't get opened until Revelation 8:1. So, while there are 7 seals total, the first 6 seals often get interpreted separately because they are dealt with separately in the text.
(The first 4 seals, by the way, are "the four horsemen of the Apocalypse".)
Either that, or "6 seals" could refer to 6 Navy SEALS who sued the Associated Press back in 2004, saying that the AP revealed their identities, compromised their security and invaded their privacy by publishing personal photographs in a Dec. 4 story.
Or maybe to the six seals and flags of Texas.
I just had a friend send me a message asking me about my comments on the site and I didn't know what she was talking about because I didn't comment...but another Carla Sue did...maybe it's because of the extraterrestrials....hmmmm....
...but you say it's-just-a-rash and it's crawling-up-your-ass.
The four horsemen are seals?? i thought they were horses. or men on horses. wow... have i misinterpreted the bible or what?
whats the fifth seal?
alan when i hold my head upside down, and squooch my eyes up tight, the dotes spell your name... sigh <blush>
Nightingale, can you add 'dotes' to the found lexicon?
the opposite of bad is not 'alan', by the way.
Oh, wow. It might help if I posted my comments to the correct finds.
@ mona lisa ... well, since you asked:
these "seals" are wax seals that would hold a scroll closed;
they get broken open in Revelation 6 and 8;
when they're opened, St. John (who is having the vision that makes up the book) sees a variety of things, to wit [always wanted to say that!],
1- white horse
2- red horse
3- black horse
4- pale horse
5- souls under the altar
6- awesome cosmic disturbances (a great earthquake, the sun turned black, the moon became blood red, stars fell to earth, the sky folded up like a scroll, mountains and islands moved)
then the 7th seal- "When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour"
What does it all mean? Well, you can connect the dotes.
@Holly... the first time I read your comment, I thought you meant se7en with Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman. I got sooo confused.
And then I scrolled down and realized what you guys were talking about.
Boy do i feel stupid... I couldn't understand how you could get Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman confused haaha.
by the way, did anybody try 'dab' for the opposite of bad?
Thank you, Librarian. I was ignorant of this until you educated me. So the writer was right about this being the sixth seal.
My absolute favourite part of this note is the self editing that went on.
"something" like this
tear in the atmosphere
very soon
its too cool. its like he/she wanted so badly to be believed, because the message was too important, so had to be correct as possible, even tho it messed up the spacing and stuff. I like it.
If these are really extraterrestrials, wouldn't the note writer have used more than three exclamation points in that sentence? I mean, how does he or she expect anyone to take that sentence seriously with only three exclamation points? Real aliens would warrent at least four or five.
One Horse
Two Horse
Red Horse
Blue Horse
Oh shit! Here comes the Apocalypse!
The Aldebaran Sun people are coming and they're pissed!
@ a different Carla Sue in Indiana, should we be watching for crop circles in the corn??
I'll keep my eyes open here, you watch from your spot.
<whispering> don't let 'em know we're onto them.
Hey I really did see a UFO once pretty close. They make no sound, it's true!
whatever u do...DON'T LOOK! I saw the dotes once... ONCE!!! then David Koresh invited me to Michael Jackson's house for cookies and Jesus Juice. then brainwashed me! (or rather i gave them brain then washed my mouth out with soap)
i ran away. Scientologists saved me...now i'm all better.
ME: elitist foolscap fuck. YOU: (-fill in the blank-)
(space critters...
stole my sweet thing!
space critters..
they stole my sweet thing.
Well my name's Rev Jonhson,
and I'll be dog-gone
I woke up this morning
and my sweet thing was gone!
heard some squallerin' out the winder,
I went to look see.
Them saucer's was really
ringin' in Dixie!!!"
...Nothing but death, Nothing but death, Nothing but death and destruction! Bad breath, armpits, terminal acne, Nothing but death for me-ee! If I find I've had too much to drink, I will go and vomit in the sink, I feel just like the missing link... When I do the Punk Polka! Jump, jump, jump, jump up and down in place, Jab a safety pin into your face, Excuse me while I teach the human race... to do the Punk Polkaaaaaaaaa
Al, I always thought it was "terminal agony."
Was Weird Al in the Toons? I know I could google it, but it's more fun to find out from a real person.
I won't mind aliens coming here, just as long as they don't put sensors up my ass. The last guys who came down during a viewing of Aldebaran tried to be butt buddies with me and it took forever to get that sensor out.
Anything is better than the current election, if you ask me. An alien invasion could be really exciting (especially if they take a few of their own back, no names mentioned, Fooch.)
Fooch! I totally remember Art Bell! This find is exactly the sort of stuff he would discuss on the show.
Whatever happened to Art Bell, anyway?
We printed the dotes and carried it out to compare it to our "night sky," i.e., when it's dark, and we couldn't make heads or tails (tales) of where these dotes are located.
Perhaps if we were in Canada, aay, it would fall into place...so no destruction here kids, we can go about our lives knowing that the Canadians will take the full brunt of the invasion for us. Kewl! More beer for us, aay!
Ooops! I forgot my exclamation points...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whaaaat? Sammy,how did my name get in there and what are you suggesting?
I am too tired to stay up and connect the dotes.
Maybe Sammy butt buddy sensors can detect if they are on their way.
Let us know, will ya?
i also live in the area and these appear periodically on all the lamposts and street signs around. i always watch after they appear but nothing happens
@caught again in Yippeee moment... Richie? That you? Space critters? LH
Hey Larry Here.. Nope, Not Richie.. Just a Huge fan and "that era" TopHat alum. (I have frequent Russ moments, too.)
*Aldebaran has been missing and nobody noticed until now?
*If it's in the Bible, how about specific quotes (or was the author a writer for the Weekly World News?).
For an interesting insight into the mindset, check out "When Prophecy Fails", an inside look at a UFO cult and it's failed day of deliverance.
Don't mind me-I'm a government agent maintaining the coverup. Just move along folks-nothing to see here-just swamp gas
...those jagged lines...doom from outer space...could it be-BUNNEE? We're doomed! Blood and souls for Bunnee! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!
having trouble remembering the exact details, and i can't find anything on google, but there is actually some truth to this........many of the prophecies in revelations can be interpreted astrologically. ie 'lion' = the constellation leo, bull = taurus, etc. if you watch the skies, the story of revelations is being played out as we speak. i don't know if that means the world is about to end or not, but there you go :)

John the Revelator
Put him in an elevator
Take him up to the highest high
Take him up to the top where the mountains stop
Let him tell his book of lies
John the Revelator
He's a smooth operator
It's time we cut him down to size
Take him by the hand
And put him on the stand
Let us hear his alibis
By claiming God - As his holy right
He's stealing a God from the Israelites
Stealing a God from a Muslim, too
There is only one God through and through
Seven lies, multiplied by seven, multiplied by seven again
Seven angels with seven trumpets
Send them home on the morning train
Well who's that shouting?
John the Revelator!
All he ever gives us is pain
Well who's that shouting?
John the Revelator!
He should bow his head in shame
By and by

i love this so much!
i wish it was true
save us please!
Everybody sing! "mares eat dotes, and does eat dotes, and little lambs eat ivy, a kid'll eat ivy too, wouldn't you?"
Dear, dear melody. Don't go wasting your life waiting for the saucers to save you. Or for Jesus to, either, for that matter. BE your OWN flying saucer. SAVE YOURSELF!
And while you're doing so, Live your Life! It's fun.
And that is a whole bunch of crazy right there.
I most definitely saw these all over my neighbourhood too! Weirded me right out. I didn't even get a chance to read the whole thing because I was late for work and someone else ripped it down before I got home. Glad to see someone else around my area enjoys found tidbits too!
These posters went far! They're all along Canada Way in Burnaby, too!
