kasey in tucson spotted this orgy of vending-machine notes in the anthropology department of the university of arizona. says kasey, “they just keep adding up. i think the pepsi man is either amused by them or just doesn’t care.” perhaps…or maybe he’s just hanging back until he has enough material for his dissertation on non-verbal communication among 21st century north americans.

You’re absolutely right, RJ. There’s no reason why they can’t stock the machine with Cokes. It isn’t branded with a huge Pepsi logo or anything.

Oh my. That last note just made my day.
P.S. College does not give you the right to be an arrogant asshole (re: second note).

“Could we obligate more slots for them?”
I do not think that word means what you think it means. I guess anthropologists don’t need a mandatory English credit to gradumeeyate.

This being in the anthropology dept just warms the cockles of my heart…
I am kind of in love with Note #2.
(even though Jonny’s intense use of scotch tape makes me want to dig out my “girl cow” costume and give him a go.)

Doesn’t anyone find this first note strange?
He goes from “waters always sells out” to
“obligate more slots”.
Maybe a stupid person trying to sound intelligent?

I think he was trying to spell “allocate”.

I pass 3 stones a year. I have diarrhea about once a week. I vomit every other day. My hair falls out in clumps. It burns when I urinate. I haven’t had an erection in six months. I slur my words occasionally.
Nonetheless, I swear by raw pork, huffing paint fumes, tanning with an x-ray machine, and Tucson’s delicious tap water.

There seemed to be a theme to the notes until farm dude got lost in the way to the meat plant and ended up in a university.
WTF farm dude?

Ah, the last note makes my day.
Even more so because it seems not everyone has gotten it.

!! Subliminal image alert !!
The 2nd pic (as well as the 1st) shows an erect member in the top right corner.
The 3rd pic’s background includes two huge shafts, and the 4th pic has tips popping out all over!
No wonder Johnny felt obligated to write home to Mommy.

May I stick a passive aggressive note upon this page itself?
You say “after the jump” BUT THERE IS NO JUMP! There may be one on the front page but not here. Kindly remove that confusing and annoying crap.
For ages I had never read one of these sites (there are many like it on differing topics) from the front page, instead only reading the full page articles that people sent me the URLs to. I kept reading this “after the jump” crap thinking it was inexplicably telling me that there was a photograph or some more text after the current paragraph of text, which seemed mighty odd.
If you cannot configure your software to remove the “after the jump” cruft, why not leave it out completely and just have “Read more…” links on the front page or something? I’m sure people will find the meaning obvious and understand the implication that there is indeed more behind the Read More link.
Yours passive aggressively,
Leo
