Need Your Help About A Unicycle
FOUND by Savanna
in Allendale, MI
These signs were posted all over the campus of Grand Valley State University last year. Every single one was hand-written in the same distinct handwriting. I wanted to snag one of the signs right away, but I couldn't bare the thought of this person not finding their unicycle because I had taken down one of their signs. I waited until the day they expired and made sure to grab one off a campus events board.

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...
It's a little disturbing that the "Thank You" is in quote marks.
I wonder if there was contact info at the bottom?
These days the "Student Life Office" (or whatever) has the contact info and you have to ask for it...cuts down on prank calls, stalking etc. from people just trolling for phone numbers. That's why all adverts are approved and have an expiration date. Notice there's no name, either.
Also, probably don't sit on it, as we didn't use it for riding.
"Thank you"
It must be great fun working at the "Student Life" office.
Plus - the thought occurs - I don't wish to be cruel, but - a manic unicyclist?...Hey girl, shouldn't you find a new b/f? (Oh my God, Mr T's dashes are catching- - )
ame home, & found him climbing the walls again, as usual, but there was nothing to be done as he'd already given away his lith
You couldn't BEAR the thought.....please.
Maybe "unicycle" is a euphemism for another singular apparatus a guy has between his thighs.
(I'm also on the same page as Lauren about the quotation marks, and as "me" about the "bare"; but anyone else want to parse the left leaning handwriting?)
Was there any contact information listed?
hey! hey! do you want my unicycle? do you? do ya huh? do you want it? My unicycle? You can have it take it. It's yours it's fun. do you want it? Its free you can have it ... go ahead take my unicycle I don't want it you can have it hey where you going take it - take my unicycle take it you want it? do you want it? everyone needs a unicycle you can have mine ...
This could make an interesting plot for a movie...girl at G.V.S.U. gives sells said unicycle for money, and the adventure begins.
Well, it could work...
Left leaning handwriting is usually a sign of self-centeredness. Along with the uniform almost by the book letter style I'd say this person is probably as much a treat to be close to as her manic/depressive boyfriend.
At first I thought it said "unicyde". The left leaning handwriting denotes a left handed person.
I shudder to think about happened to the trained monkey who use to ride it...
@Cotton: Her boyfriend spanked the monkey.
Do you think the girl who accepted the unicycle tried to ride it with the seat detached?
Is she implying that a clear-thinking person would never give away a unicycle? And what is she going to do if the girl contacts her, ask for it back? And to write out this note by hand repeatedly...and is that a hand-drawn dotted line at the top of the note? I'm a little more concerned for the girl who wrote this than her boyfriend.
It's in the basement of the Alamo, Dottie!! Tell Pee-Wee!
I know whenever I'm in a manic state, the first thing I go after are the unicycles. Those bastards are sneaky!
Eloise and Kurt met in the campus therapy group. She was there for her obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he was there for manic-depressive disorder. They made a somewhat strange couple, especially when Kurt was riding his unicycle like a maniac and Eloise tried to adjust the tires. This usually switched him to depressive, and he would threaten to unicycle in front of a truck. Luckily, the G.V.S.U. girls were always there to help. Unfortunately, one of them asked for the unicycle, and Kurt was in manic again so he screamed "YES!" and jumped up and down.
Dear skank,
My boyfriend went off his meds and completely chimped the fuck out, even going so far as to give away his beloved unicycle to your undeserving trick ass. You took advantage of a mentally unstable man just to acquire his unwieldy yet moderately cool novelty transportation device. For shame! Please call me.
"Thank You"
I don't think this is as much about finding the unicycle as it is about finding the chick her boyfriend was obviously hitting on.
Do you think it is supposed to read panic instead of manic? I've never heard the phrase "in a manic" before...
Where ever manic is...they are giving away unicycles!
Sorry, your boyfriend gave his unicycle to me when I was in depressive. It need it, it makes me feel better. Wait till my next manic and then I'll give it back.
I hope he kept his fire juggling torches!!!

And sending LOVE TO PUCKHOTT!! Hope you're doing awesome. Miss you and stuff. Be well.
I couldn't help but laugh at this note because I'm actually a student at GVSU. This past year, I always saw a kid riding a unicycle around campus and thought it was pretty crazy and kind of funny at that same time. I later, got to know this kid in one of my classes. He wouldn't have been a student at GVSU yet when this note was made, but I find it kind of funny that there's more than one person who rides unicycles at GVSU. Who would have thunk it?
I go to GVSU!! and I've seen the kid that rides around on his unicycle, its to bad this year I won't see him riding around on it :(
I go to that school and have seen that kid ride around on his unicycle. The fucker is crazy, he rides that thing and its seat is well over six feet high.
So did he get his unicycle back, then? it looks like this was posted Feb 3, 2007. (2008? hard to tell on this computer)
Inconsistent small a's. 16 total, four of them the extra cool kind- the others just boring roundies with little tails. If you're gonna use the extra cool a, you have to make sure to get 'em all.
Also, why are the fr in boyfriend and the if in if the only letters in cursive?
