After walking between the cars at a red light with an extended upside-down hat, the beggar’s hat was still empty. He walked back to the sidewalk and snapped into a rage, throwing his sign at the cars. He then stormed down the street, leaving the sign behind. When I left work, the sign was lying in the gutter and the angry beggar was nowhere to be seen.

A recession is difficult for many. But this guy was an angry jerk even before the recession. I saw him a few days later with a new sign and the same cheery demeanor.

I found this receipt under the bridge. It’s for over $700 so I thought the purchaser might like it back for insurance and warranty purposes. Through the goodness of my heart and the miracle of Facebook, I sent her a note.

We made a plan to meet in front of a coffee shop on a busy street the following week. I showed up. She didn’t bother. Thanks, Sheena. That’s good karma.

I had just enjoyed a nice lunch and when I left the restaurant, this reimbursement was waiting for me on the sidewalk. It didn’t cover my whole lunch but I was still happy to find it.

I’ve got the hang of finding the small bills now. I’d like to find some big bills, like $50 or $1000. I could buy a nice lunch with one of those.

“Your Pleasure Is Our Business”… sounds great! I wonder if this shopping list belonged to Taylor or to a potential client.

On the front: shelving; all around; spray paints.

On the back: lint brush; lotion; Q tips; nose gel; thimble; swiffer duster; glass wipes; car ashtray; car stereo; hangers; hair dye; clip in hair; phone case; fido min.

It looks like this person might be a bit of a clean freak… so maybe a shopping list is all the action Taylor is going to get from this person. But if it is Taylor’s list, a lot of the items make sense. Hmm… this is going to require further investigation. I better phone her.

The finding of this holy lanyard is obviously a gift from above. The very day that I found this, I met the girl of my dreams, came into a large sum of money, got a promotion at work, and ate a ham sandwich.

Only one of those things is true.

Anyway, talk about a conversation piece. I’ve been wearing this thing around my neck and it’s started a lot of conversations—none of which had any hint of sarcasm. Noooo, not even one little drop of sarcasm.

An early morning video shoot took a few coworkers and me to a local skate park. There, we found this box of pint glasses. A few were missing but the rest were in perfect condition. We bought a keg and had quite a little party with our new glasses. We never did make it to the office that day.

The next day, you can imagine how popular we were at work. Not very, at first. Then we presented our new pint glasses and popularity found us fast.

An interesting story, these shoes. They belonged to a sprinter. He would run so fast, that people would say, “If that boy runs any faster, his shoes’ll catch fire.”

Well, one day as the sprinter was sprinting home to outrun an oncoming rainstorm, he was struck by lightning. These shoes are all that is left.

These photos were sticking out of a snow bank across the street from work. Someone wanted them to be found. Maybe that someone even knows about this website, where I work, and that I pick junk up off the ground.

Three photos: each depicting a rubber chicken in less-than-compromising positions. The rubber chicken is a classic staple of comedy. It’s too bad more thought wasn’t put into these photos. For example, the rubber chicken could have been shown throwing a pie in someone’s face, or squirting them with a little seltzer bottle.

A sign that happy, warmer weather is on its way: a smiling cactus.

This smiling cactus is suitable for placing on the antenna of your favourite automobile, such as a Beetle, Civic, Lumina, or other. So even if you’re driving in the midst of a blizzard, people will know that you’re dreaming of warmer, sunny places.

I don’t know much about Harry Potter but I do know people who are fond of it. It’s a story about hocus pocus, teenage angst, and coming to terms with one’s sexual orientation and typecast acting career.

I have heard that the books are better than the movies, but I just can’t imagine it.
