don’t be fooled by the smiley: this is the kind of note that really throws you off balance. (it’s been more than a month since she received this note, and kiki from boston says she’s still shaking in her boots a little.)

the mad bomber, act 3: we are watching you
May 25th, 2007 · 53 Comments
if you missed them, act 1 and act 2.
sadly, season one of this series ends with a dramatic cliffhanger ending!
will the mad bomber be caught in the act? will richard g. sells post another sign outing the bomber for public humiliation and condemnation?
we can only hope.

this amazing and somewhat baffling little note comes to us from tiffanni in atlanta, who looks nothing like a man but is confident enough in her femininity not to be troubled by allegations to the contrary.
says tiffanni: “this was left on my windshield by a lady in the wal-mart parking lot. i guess she was [...]

this fiendishly funny note comes to us courtesy of jennifer in philly, who does not condone the theft of bottled water of any kind.

i don’t want to oversell this, but the following series of three signs (sent in by a health-club patron who wishes to remain nameless) just became my new all-time favorite. i love so many things about richard g. sells’s first masterpiece below that i don’t even know where to begin.
