Back from Vegas
FOUND by Mark Hoffman
in Santa Cruz, California
I found this near my brother's house. He has a notepad with the same paper in his house. Someone he knows must have written it, but I don't know who. No one he knows was recently going to or coming back from Vegas.

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...
They're heeeeerrrrreeeee....
That could be an arrow pointing to the Vegas sign, but I think it is the author's signature- a capital G. I further think Mr. G needs a refresher course in the correct format of a haiku because his is lame.
Mr. G's confused.
He's back and yet he still comes?
He cannot be both.
they keep coming and going and going and coming ... and always too soon.
I like the way the first I looks almost like a dollar sign. Perhaps it's code for he won the first time he went, so now he's going to go back to try and win some more...
Oh, and perhaps this person just happens to be the brother but doesnt want anyone to know he's been going to Vegas?
There's something odd about how Mr G draws the letter I. Either he draws the serifs from right to left or he draws the bottom serif before he draws the top one.
The way the first E and the R of "here" are hooked together makes it appear that the top line in E occurs last in his stroke order.
An odd creature, this Mr G.
I believe the "G" is an arrow and I think this may be a girl's handwriting.
'G' is back and has all sorts of food for stray animals. 'Here I come kitty kitty'
Hm? What?? Sorry, had you left? Hadn't noticed. You say were away?
yeaH, the "g" at the end is definitly not a "g", but an arrow pointing to las vegas - as in "here i come ... to fabulous las vegas"
Lame find... Stuff that belongs to you doesn't mean it's found?
Folks in Santa Cruz honestly don't know whether they are coming of going.
Wait, was this found in Santa Cruz, or does MArk Hoffman only live in Santa Cruz, but his brother lives someplace else?
Now I confused.
Welcome to the slightly less fabulous, but equally arid Las Vegas, New Mexico!
Girl in A Cube, You need to get out of your cube more! He said he FOUND it near his brother's house, not his first of all, and then he said it MIGHT be from his notepad, how many notepads do you think Las Vegas sells one??? Yeah ok know step back and look at how dumb your comment looks mhmmmm thanks you.
Drifting, I'm surprised at the strong reaction my comment inspired in you.
Anger issues, much?
And I still think it's lame.
This reminds me of the movie, *Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas*
$'m BACK!!!!!!!
It's an arrow indicating the return (going in circles)
Reverse the lines and it reads "Las Vegas. Here I come. And I'm back"
That sounds like a short trip.
I'm with Girl on this one
Lame find.
I don't care what they say; no one ever really comes back from Vegas.
Tuesday is now officially "Fabulous Found Day"! You might ask why. I'll tell you: this particular Find isn't just from Las Vegas; look closer ... it's from "Fabulous Las Vegas".
And only last Tuesday (16 Sept.) was when Patrick and his friend were wished "a FABULOUS time" on their "hott date."
I can't wait until next Tuesday to see what sort of "Fabulous Finds" await us.
(meanwhile the time travel element in this fabulous find is bothering me ... 'I'm back', and THEN 'here I come'? or should it be read bottom to top? or is it just a whole different kind of 'coming'? I don't know.)
LIBRARIAN- you've a remarkable memory...last Tuesday...**fabulous time**+**fabulous Las Vegas**
I've a difficult time remembering what went on yesterday or this morning, never mind last Tuesday!
Coincidence? (fabulous) You tell me...
No cube you are just so annoying I want to poke out your eyes with my pencil :) If you think its lame THEN DONT COME HERE! Simple solution.
P.S there is a reason you are in a cube no one wants to see you so thats where they stuck you :)
Have a pleasant day :)
LOL I agree with ya Farmer, I went to Vegas a few years ago to elope and never fully returned, but then that probably had something to do with the psycho I married hmmm...... no wonder it only lasted a month and a half :| lol
I think the G is an arrow also, saying "I'm back" (in Cali) and now "Here I come" (to Vegas) Look out Ladies G is on the prowl *ROAR*
Girl in a cube,
Fear not - I will protect you from the anger filled all caps 'drifting.' If by 'protect' you understand it to mean 'no one really knows who I am or where I live and what could I do anyway because basically I'm a wimp' kind of way.
Besides, it's probably just a stage they're going through.
I love this note. To me, the author is expressing his (or her) rebirth when they return to their favourite location. I have a place like that; returning to this spot is better than finding god - I find myself.
I think the author is expressing in so few words, his excitement at finding himself.
see, Alan. Drifting is why i don't come here so much anymore. Such vitriol, over a simple opinion. You're such a gentleman.
the find is blah, btw.
I knew a guy who made his I's just like this. He made them in one swift movement of the pen.
And Mona, don't let adolescent trolls like Drifting keep you away from Found. They find someone else's sandbox to pee in soon enough, if not fed.
Mona-I still come here, I just don't comment as often. I think it's just a stage.
ummm, my sister went through a stage where she would went to Las Vegas and steal notepads.
I think the arrow is pointing to the word "fabulous." The author is obviously coming out of the closet.
Sammy Davis Junior Jr. made me "lol" I almost never "lol"
I actually agree with Drifting, if all you have to post is complaining how lame something is why don't you find something better to do. I would like to see you run this website and have it go as well as it does and NEVER post any "lame" (in some peoples opinions) finds.
@ Basil
Well maybe I should just come pee in your herb garden :)
I agree stop being so whiny people!
Hey! Whatever happened to Pepper? All the commotion made me reminisce....
*Standing up to defend girl in a cube* I agree with girl in a cube, this Find is lame and it isn't Lame to say so. As long as you don't get all whiny and annoying about it. So to buried deep in peachie-o's: keep digging elsewhere. And to Drifting in the Sky:drift away...drift away...drift away....
*opps* forget my mantra in my rush to defend girl in a cube, that is: "Don't feed the trolls, don't feed the trolls, don't feed the trolls...."
@Terri: glad to cause a chuckle, and I hope it wasn't at the grammatical error.
p.s. why so much hostility today with this find?
Go away again.
And never come back.
see? even all THAT didn't make these comments even remotely interesting.
The Find is just fine. all colorful and sparkly.
This note is rather terrifying. I might move if someone left me a note like this.
When I went to Las Vegas in the late 80's, I played the quarter slots and almost $100 in real quarters came pouring out! It was such an exciting sound hearing those coins hitting the metal pan. For a small town girl, it was a pretty big deal at the time.
I agree with several others. Anybody can find stuff like this lying around their brother's house. On top of that, it's not as interesting as most of the great stuff I expect to see here.
Not even, Sammy Davis Junior Jr. I thought what you said was funny(I hadn't even noticed your mistake).
