Hello Cody

FOUND by Joe in Albany, Oregon

These three pages from a Hello, Kitty sticky pad fell from a book that my girlfriend was browsing at Goodwill. Neither of us can recall what the book was. We think there are three interwoven layers here – first, the obsessive “I love Cody/Cody is Cute/Cody is Funny” repetitive text, then the furious counter-offensive “I HATE CODY/HE’S UGLY/HE is Not Funny” text. We think the “He is retarded” was likely added by a compassionate friend – and finally, “So long ago” kind of sums up the whole middle school “Hello Kitty” love/hate thing. Whatever the case may be, if I were Cody, I’d watch my back. Whoever wrote this has a black pen, and he or she is not afraid to use it.

We’ve spent a remarkable amount of time thinking about this.

Blocks of Scariness

FOUND by Stephanie in Zigzag, Oregon

Hubby and I go to the ZigZag Inn a lot for pizza; we’re locals. Lots of tourists and skiers and such come through there on their way up to Mt. Hood. We found this note folded and inserted into the Keno card-holder on the table. The back of the note looks like it’s torn from a injet party invitation or flyer or something.

I Wish I Were Cool

FOUND by Tyra Melai in Los Angeles, California

I found this little doodle tucked between Beatles CDs at Amoeba Music on Sunset and Vine and started cracking up! It’s really only funny because he can’t even bring himself to say it  he’s pointing at a sign that says it. I gotta wonder if he drew the poor, sad little man himself. I’ve named him Mack, after my ex-boyfriend, and he’s taped on the back of my iPod.
