Found this sticky-note in the office today.

Not sure what message the artist is trying to get across.

Unless the arrow is supposed to be an actual arrow.... (gulp)

[Sarcasm Warning] This dude needs our help...

Received this email today. I've highlighted my favorite parts...some of which I will now be using as part of my every day speech. Enjoy, and don't laugh so hard that it takes off your life.

My name is Mr Larry Eze.

I am 75yrs old of age, I stay in New York city USA. i am a good Merchant, i have several Industrial company and good share in various Banks in the world. I spend all my life on investment and corporate business. All the way i lost my Wife and two beautiful kids in fatal accident that occur in November 5th 2008. i am a very greedy man with all cost i dont know much and care about people, since when i have an experience of my lovely ones i felt weak.i found it difficult to sleep and give rest.

Later in the year 2006 February i was sent a letter of medical check up, as my personal doctor testify that i have a lung cancer, which can easily take off my life soon. i found it uneasy to survive myself, because a lot of investment cannot be run and manage by me again.i quickly call up a pastor/prophet to give me positive thinking on this solution, as my adviser.He minister to me to share my property ,wealth, to Motherless baby/orphanage homes/people that need money for survivor both student that needs money/business woman and man for their investment for future rising.

So therefore i am writing this letter to people who are really need help from me both student in college, to contact me urgently so that i can make available preparation on that.especially women of the day, who are divorced by their husband, why they cannot survive the mist of feeding their self.

Please contact me to stop weeping, probably let me know what you really need the money for, and if you can still help me to distribute money to nearest orphanages homes near your town. Now that i am so much with GOD, am now born again.May the lord bless you, as you reach me.send me a reply to this email [redacted].

Thanks and God Bless.
Mr Larry Eze.

An apology to the 2009 Blue Devils

Dear 2009 Blue Devils drum corps:

I wanted to thank you for allowing me to attend your rehearsal tonight at American Fork High School in American Fork, Utah. I am an avid fan and listen to past BD recordings daily.

I want to express my complete embarrassment and apologize for the behavior of the crowd that amassed as you rehearsed. I've never been included in a more rude group of people. They were loud, critical, and inconsiderate. I believe that many of them were actually using you as babysitters. I saw 10 or 20 small children running around banging on bleachers and screaming as they slid down railings while their parents poked away at their iphones or gabbed loudly with their friends. Send them a bill.

I was mortified when more than once, your staff was unable to communicate with corps members or other staff members due to the ridiculous sound level coming from the stands.

I want to assure you that we're not all like this. Sadly, many people from the particular part of the particular valley in which you were rehearsing believe they "know better" when it comes to all things marching. They don't.

I hope you were able to get some work done, despite the pearl casting.

Good luck tomorrow night. We're looking forward to the performance.

Matt







Shame on you, American Fork. Show some respect, and stay home next time.

Thank you, 2009 Vanguard. I heard warmup performed live in Portland on Friday and cried.

This was recorded in Walnut Grove, CA on 6/20/2009. Thank you to r0nej00. Vangaurd has a chance this year. This is why I love summer the most.
