Back in high school, some teachers would give weekly assignments that my friends and I used to think they never even read, just marked down the names of those who handed in papers. I've done many a "paragraph of jiberish" and found out our suspisions were correct. The dude who wrote that killed his chances by capitalizing a threat with cuss words. My eyes went there first. The whole thing is pretty damn crazy though, I'd have given him a B for Baked
i had a similar experience in high school, where in our Latin class, we did translation of essays from Latin to English regularly. we found out in the second year that she didnt read the translations, and only glanced and then gave full credit, so we started writing down entire novelty rap songs within the body of the translations. start off the paper with two translated sentences, and end the same, but the middle included "Baby Got Back" and "Back That Azz Up," just to name a few.
Much of this strikes me as kinda fake. Where is all this stuff from?
oh i'm not saying they're real. they've been circulating on the web for a while now, the peter nguyen one's are especially obvious because the red ink is even toned like it was done in photoshop.
but there are some lines in there i can't resist, such as the "sold like gothcakes" line
Hahaha yeah, i didn't really know where it was going, and then, all of a sudden, there it was. You can watch the thought taking form, like she (he?) just made their mind up at the end.

there are so many from the actual printed mag that are more intense, but it's hard to navigate the site and look for a specific one.
there was a hilarious print out of an email of this woman who just went out on a date the night before and rated the guy on everything from his car to his attire and said something like dude "didn't have a chance" cause she was rocking some capri pants that made her ass look great or something. that shit was so funny, i wish i could find it
There used to be a cool little free zine called Ghent that pre-dated Found. It focused on full length lettes whereas Found was more into notes and short msgs. I really miss Ghent, plus I accidentally binned all my old issues in my purges the last few years.
My sister got several similar letters from some french dude she met once 5 years ago, he moved back to france for 3 years then came back to NZ a couple years ago & tracked her to my parent's address & wrote her a grip of letters. Real crazy, he even turned up at my folk's place a couple times (although my sister was living in Auckland which is like 2.5 hour drive away). She never even remembered meeting him but he was so in 'love' with her. The letters were hilarious, both in their use of Frenglish & what he was trying to convey. Pretty freaky for my sis though 'coz this dude even turned up at her flat after checking her on the electoral roll. It went on kinda on & off for the last couple years but my family finally called the cops after he turned up at her flat & took out a 'Non Trespass' order on him. The cops were pretty amazed, apparently the French guy, Charles, had like a 10min conversation with her at a party 5 years previously & had then built up in his mind that he was in love with her & they were meant to be together, although he didn't even know her at all. If I remember I'll try & dig a letter out next time I'm home, hilarity will ensue.

Wasn't it a picture of a Minotaur with a massive dong?

Um "SEEN SOME FINE WENCHES I HAFTA HOLLA" is probably the best thread title for anything, ever
NUDOG!

i think it's a great surprise ending.

and this one is is funny/scary
when i worked at a record shop, I found a to do list in a bag of CDs this sorority looking chick was selling:
i loved that. i imagined her sleeping with the list on her nightstand--peeping it in the AM to see what to do first:
"Oh my god, I so like need to get up."
I wish I had kept it.
this one is awesome. where are you finding these?
the italics at the end are so perfect.

I like this one. Dude neither sounds "cool" or "sain". I don't think he's gonna get called or e-mailed.
I guess they're pretty lax about grammer in Grad School, eh?
That one doesn't seem as creepy as the "I've been watching you since you moved in" one.
This thread is great, btw.
