Can't We Still Get Along?
FOUND by rochelle hampton in Oregon
I took a walk in my neighborhood and found a set of four hand-made flash cards. The others are really funny too but this one is the best. Out of the mouths of babes…
Feeling in coherent
I think we should get along with all species - except the platypus. Those guys are bastards!

OK, So I'm a species-ist! You want to make something of it?

Hey Feeling, some of my best friends are Platypus Americans.

it's those damn Llamas you've got to watch your back around...

This I can get behind.

There are days when I really do wish I could be a different species. Humans are really ticking me off today.

I'm half Llama, half Platypus, and I wish the hatred would stop. Sure I am ugly on the OUTSIDE bu shouldn't it be my INNER CHARACTER thats counts?! I mean, sure, I have poisonous claws, an electric beak AND I'm covered in shaggy wool, but dammit, I have a heart!

@Monkey: I'm with you.

When I see a skunk by the road, I roll my windows up. Does that make me a species-ist?

I don't have a problem with llamas, but emus are another story.

So left-handed and right-handed people are different species?

You are all wrong......

There may be issues with the platypus, llamas and even emus, but it is the rabbits you have to watch out for. Yea the little bunnies are cute but they are destined to take over the world. After all, they multiply like...well...rabbits!

"It takes Every Kind of Species"

Said the fight to make ends meet
Keeps a marsupial upon his webbed feet
Holding down his job
Trying to show he can't be bought
It takes every kind of species

To make what life's about
Every kind of species
To make the world go 'round
Someone's looking for a lead
In his duty to a lair or breed
Protecting what he feels is right

Fights against wrong with his life
Marking your territory by pissing right
Honestly we all know that
Revenge does taste gamey

Whether haired, skinned or pouched, hatched
Each and every creatures's the same inside (pink!)
It takes every kind of species
To make what life's about
Every kind of species
To make the world go 'round

You know that love's the only foal
That could bring a peace to any hole
Hey, and every animal's the same
He wants the sunshine in his mane
It takes every kind of species
To make what life's about
Every kind of species
To make the world go 'round
It takes every kind of species
To make what life's about
Every kind of species
To make the world go 'round...

@ let's get busy ... and if anyone ever read "Bunnicula" by Deborah Howe, they'd know to fear the rabbit.

i think i'm with monkey and geek here, though i guess you could still eat the tasty species whithout drifting into a speciesist mindset... it's not because you hate them that you make them into so many tasty dishes^^

i'd say i get along with them all, even lamas emus and platypusses (is that actually the plural?).. maybe we should become buddhists, then we could go through all species and see what it's like....

@Librarian the cure for Bunnicula is as follows:

... to destroy a killer rabbit that blocks the path use he Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch ...

“ ...And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this Thy hand grenade that with it Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits, in Thy mercy." And the Lord did grin and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats and large chu... "

And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it." Amen

i never knew that there were different species of people. that sure helps explain some things. for instance, "people" who like liver and onions. and "people" who wipe their boogers on the walls of public restrooms.

Mom Interrupted in the Garden of Eden.
Speciesism was created by the platypus and since has seeped through the souls of each species. If we keep judging fur/feathers/scales/skin before character than {sic} we will be consumed by this disease called SPECIESISM.

WOW leave for a little bit and the whole thing goes awry!

Drifter, you make me want to go to church, the one behind the Army surplus store. I could think of a few "roadblock" to my happiness that need to be removed and with the power with me it should be easy.

Some other "species" of people that it is ok to hate..
People in the left lane (here in USA)going below the speed limit

People that drive with the blinker on

People that hog the remote and forces you to sit through commercials

People that don't flush the public toilet

People that take more than 15 items in the 15 items or less lane

People that treat servers in restuarants like sub human slaves.

I am sure there are more but I got to get back to work.

What a better found than the first one.

People who don't let me finish when answering the phone at work.

People who hang up immediately when they have the wrong number instead of saying "Oops, sorry, wrong number"

People who say "oh, you look tired today"

.. there are plenty more, I'm sure.

Does the second heading say "noun", "moan", or something else? I can't figure it out.


...to add to the list: first and foremost, violent abusers of any species: animal or human, adult or child. Wombles don't do much hating at all, but we make an exception for abusers of any kind, be it sexual, psychological, physical or other (I don't know of any other kind but I'm afraid there probably is one.)

People that won't let me back into "Daggers" tavern.

People that complain when my whith trash buddies hootihoo it up at 3am.

People that are asswholes.

Smoking hot people that buy expensive babies that smell like pickled cabbage

People who write stalker poems on the back of wine lists.

Ex's who come into my fuckin store after parking their piece of shit out front.

That egotisical bastard Michael and his fatty ex girlfriend

People that have babies on holidays

Drunks who rub their nipples for the camera

El Liberachi

Both Walmart and Safeway

People on Bi-Curious journeys

Automatic coupon installation people

Umployed underwear borrowing squatters who lost my keys

People that are following me and hide when I look for them.

Yeah! What the heck is that about? After I graduated college I worked as a receptionist at a very affluent law firm in Boston and someone there was repeatedly wiping their little nuggets on the stall door. I'm still baffled by it! I was never able to figure out who it was. Probably a good thing. *shudder*

No one's jealous peckerhead - it's just that no one want's to see co-authored by ROBERT FUCKING KEIM on the next issue of Found magazine.

How about we all go through grandma's old fricking shoe box - FIND A BUNCH OF OLD SNAPSHOTS - and then upload so many pictures that we found - that the server crashes for a denial of service attack.

What's it matter to YOU who "co-authors" the next Found Magazine or book? Seriously. Are you financially invested in Found? Were YOU Supposed to co-author it, or have a four page feature spread? Or are you just that emotionally bound up in this little cyber "reality"?

You can claim that there's no jealousy or resentment oozing from your posts, but considering how frequently (and incessantly) you whine about other Finders' multiple Find of the Day postings, I beg to differ.

I cannot be happier at the moment. Usually I just get weird looks when I inform people of my pet peeve: clapping after movies. So thanks!

Also, people who do not replace the roll of toilet paper after they've used the last bit of the one prior.

Those who feel it necessary to one-up everything I say.

Those who stick the knife directly into the peanut butter jar, therefore getting PB all over the handle. (this mostly pertains to my family)

People who hover awkwardly. It's painful just to witness from peripherals, if you know what I mean.

Stores that organize their clothes by color rather than style.
