cameron in hyde park, n.y. brings us this “maybe not-so-classic dorm dispute: girl meets boy, girl likes boy, boy has girlfriend, girl obsesses over boy, boy’s female neighbors post rejection note from boy to girl, girl…threatens neighbors, artistically.”
what, no bubble letters?

OOOH a puzzle! Now do I cut on the dotted lines or connect the dots?

“cover your five head”? wha? is that some of the slang you kids are using these days?

Heee - love the internet - you never have to be uncool while on-line. Thanks, urbandictionary.com.
Seems like the girl needs some bangs.

From UrbanDictionary.com:
Five head: A very large forehead - 25% larger in fact. Too big to be a four head so we have to call it a five head

So, if it’s female neighbors, i.e. more than one, shouldn’t it be
MIND YOUR BUSINESS BITCHES

I love the dancing ants. Really makes that “bitch” pop.
As for the danger-danger border, that’s just getting the “fire in the Taco Bell” song stuck in my head… which isn’t unpleasant either. All the way around, this is delectable. The addition to my slang vocabulary is just gravy.

The “Five Head” (bald) reference makes me think of Sinead O’Connor…
It took several hours and felt-tipped pens
to square this note away
I snuck in to the dorm and used scotch tape
to post this note this way
You dumb bald bitch you can’t do whatever you want
Fight with me you’ll lose
So when you wake up you can go and read my taunt
But nothing, I said nothing can make me defuse.
Mind your business
Mind your buiness, you fool.
Danger Danger Danger, my dear
with skulls and bones in lines so long
Can you see the rage that’s bubbling inside me
I don’t even care if I’m wrong
I can throw my hands around your skinny neck
and squeeze until you turn blue
I talked to my shrink and he said I was crazy
stone cold crazy
So I stabbed him in the eye with a sharp little multi tool, that’s what I do
Mind your business
Mind your business, you fool.

That…is twelve flavors of special. (P.S. I already knew what a five-head was. I know an unfortunate girl who has one.)
And the lady who wrote the note spent WAAAAY too much time on that.

“Danger…hugs and kisses” has got to be rated as, well just plain odd.

I like! This note is classy. It is more than a note, it is like a campaign poster. Clean lines, not too wordy, artistic, nice slam of the opponent at the end. This chic is going places.

As P-A notes go, it’s rather fancy. Someone spent some time on it.

I thought the same thing. I guess she was too lazy (and artistically challenged?) to draw a full skull and crossbones a few score times. But the lazy way out makes it look more like Xs and Os.

Five Head shouldn’t be down on herself. Helen Hunt and Tyra Banks both sport foreheads that just don’t quit. What’s even more amazing is that they’re both extremely annoying. Tyra seems pretty nosey and Helen’s got that pointy face that makes you want to slap her.

Between the “DANGER”s and the purple skulls, I think there must be more going on with this note. Someone should check it for anthrax, or deadly acid, or something.

I wish my 7-year-old daughter’s poster-board report on Tennessee looked this good. Next year, I should have her just print out this gem and submit it.

From the looks of this poster, I think the author probably scrapbooks in her free time…scrapbooks of rage…

Looks like somebody is feeling guilty about her PA note and has to pretty it up to disguise her rage.
Well, that or she’s psychotic.

Those are some lame skull and crossbones. Combine that with the lack of the word, “wench” or any sailing terms, and you’ll agree that our not poster’s no pirate.
…although “cover your fivehead” does sound like a resaonable reply to, “hoist the mizzenmast.”

“Five Head” is considered a high-brow comment in some circles.

The thing warns about impending danger. Danger of what? Hurling a few more insults that people have to look up on the urban dictionary?

I’m also wondering just exactly what a business bitch is, and why I should mind such a person.

Perhaps there needs to be a 99 level class as to how to make threatening dorm room signs? This has such a 21st Century Peter Pan quality about it…

This really is a lovely note. Aside from what looks like a false start on the B in Business, it’s really well put together. No crappy clipart. Personalization at the end a great touch. The open-ended threat is classic.
Though, I too would like to see the rejection note.

Girly writing? Check. Colored sharpies? Check.
Insane sorority queen? Check. Cute skulls n’ crossbones? Check.
Gotta give this effort a solid A!

So uh, what is the guy doing in this? Can he not take care of his problems himself - he needs a bunch o’ bitches to do his rejecting for him?
I’ll bet HE has a threehead.

Oh man, this note is awesome. I think I’d like to meet this girl… IF she didn’t look to be a little bit touched (in the fivehead).

I love this one!
As a Grammar Nazi, I would like to point out that the lack of a comma after “business,” makes the sentence into a delightfully-accurate characterization of the note-writer.
Viz.:
“Mind your business, bitch!” =
“Please do not look over my shoulder, Lassie!”
but
“Mind your business bitch!” =
“Beware of Me!”
Also, I agree with those who think that the postscript (which, in Paper Correspondence from the World of the Literate, belongs only after the “Signature” component of a letter, but I digress) sounds like a person who’s jealous of someone else’s recording equipment and wishes that the Five-Head Audio/Video Recording Machine were covered.
This is the kind of note that makes me all misty-eyed with nostalgia for grade school, when I could get away with putting ice cubes down the backs of people like this.
