Get Up!!! Give Praise
FOUND by Terrance Totally in Smashville, North Carolina
I found this against the curb in front of my neighbor's house. We hope it wasn't written to him…
not just another mouth in the lipstick vogue
"Smashville." Heh.

Trying to connect shoe laces being tied, pride, and belief in god?

Potinually is my new favourite word - potential crossed with continual. Sublime.

BTW, the american apparel picture beside this find features a woman wearing some kind of backless leotard with thigh high blue socks. Man, the stone cold opposite of pride.

Damn, my shoelaces are open.
Oops... on closer inspection it seems I don't wear any shoes.
Anyway - I guess this was aimed towards some stereotypical kid with the butt of his pants down to the knees and skating shoes with laces open.

Isn't being told to tighting your lacys the same as being told to cinch your corset?

This writer must take being "strait-laced" literally. BTW it IS "strait" as in tight, not "straight". Being tightly laced gives the idea of suffocation, suppression of emotion and ideas, etc. Although if you wore one of those pre-bra dresses that put everything you have under your chin, the straiter you were laced the more your natural attributes would be displayed. Which just goes to prove the hypoocrisy of most strait-laced-favouring folks.

I have a pair of trainers with very round, fat laces. Even double-knotting the bow, they will eventually come untied. Is it the fault of the laces, my feet, or the way I walk?

And in case anyone wonders, there is no correlation between untied shoelaces and the ability to praise and believe. In fact it's easier to have a good praise-up if you just kick your shoes off entirely.

"Pontinually..." Anyone who massacres words like this shouldn't be listened to, anyway.

I think the writer meant "potentially" with "Pontinually". Wild guess, but it works in the sentence.

I take P.R.I.D.E. in tying together comprehensible sentences.

Yaaaayyy!! Found!! You're back! You have no idea how I've missed you. Did you sleep in today, or what?

I don't get this Find. But it's okay. I don't really want to, either.

Me too! Yay!!!

The handwriting is all over the place, isn't it?

Oh, shoes! Here I was thinking this was talking about the laces in a bustier. Silly me.

Although you've got to admit that going out with the laces in your bustier or your corset hanging loose shows no pride at all. That just screams "Floozy."

Shoes, I'm not so sure about.

Prayer Reigns Indecency Down Everywhere?

Pants Raised Improperly; Dude! Excellent!

Pastors Rapsodize Improving Damned Exorcisms?

Penises Rise Inciting Double Entendre?

Pessimism Ruins Interesting Daily Existence?

Panic Rooms Indicate Duress Extremes?

i guess i need to tighting my lacys so i'll know what P.R.I.D.E. means.

I didn't even think of shoelaces... I thought tighting your lacys meant pulling up your underwear! Which - it will now mean in my house, from now on, forever and ever. Amen.

Thank you, kwyncee. That riddle was driving me to drinking. Shucks, already drunk.

Please remind me;

I must cinch up my adult diapers before going down to the dining hall. What's that called old timer? I forget! What? Get me my walker. Hey "deal with it" that's what I always say...
now help me up!

but more importantly ..

We've come a long long way together,
Through the hard times and the good,
I have to celebrate you baby,
I have to praise you like I should

in addition to not getting this either, when i read 'lacys' i thought it was lacy underwear, and the images of "tighting" those and being proud were disturbing

I find it funny how he/she used a semi-colon, as if in attempt to sound sophisticated.

I'm surprised that I am the only one who saw this a different way. I am envisioning this as the writer's affirmations for the day. These are things he wants to remember as he goes through his day. It is his own personal pep talk.

This find is crazy. Potinually the person writing it had a multiple personality disorder and was yelling things at himself.
