Until last night I had only found money here and there. I went on a walk to clear my head and was planning on flying Han Solo to the movies. On my walk over I looked down and discovered two unused Natalie Merchant tickets for a show that was set to start in under an hour. Not much of a fan, but I find it almost impossible to turn down free live entertainment (I say almost due to that damn donkey show I stumbled upon down in TJ). Anyways show was decent, she performed for 2 hours which surprised me. But thought it was a bizarre thing to come upon. So what kind of items have you found over the years?

    You've been swimming in the Hudson again?!? Yes, I know. Brady and Merchant. Next weekend I'm planning on completing the rainbow trifecta by attending a Streisand tribute act. He calls himself Bentil.

    Did you step on it?

    I found three cell phones, a laptop, a briefcase, two dogs, and lots of keys.

    I was able to return everything except the keys.
    THANK YOU, LOSTDAWG!

    wish i could find some free tickets to anything sometime, lucky you.

    Most i've found was a couple bucks once or twice. I do win stuff off the radio all the time though heh, if that counts.
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    I'll try. But I hear the website you buy tickets off of goes down faster than 98% of the crowd.

    I found a book of stamps once that was new and full of stamps! I was pretty excited.

    I once saw a woman drop a ziplock bag that she had all her cash and credit/debit cards in. I didn't look at it close enough to see how much $$ there was exactly, but the outside bill was a $100. I went and picked it up as soon as I saw her drop it, she hadn't noticed she had dropped it and was walking away. I gave it back to her and she was very happy!

    I found a €100 note one day. I was locking up the shop wher I used to work and it was just lying there in the middle of the car park. I kept it for a couple of weeks in case anyone claimed it, coz it was a big enough amount to lose. No one came for it so I spent it :)

    6 years ago I found a pair of gold and diamond earings...not like just one. it was very strange...I didn't keep them, they were fugly, and diamonds...but they did get pawned to pay for an awesome party and pair of boots.

    She is his celebrity that you would be able to screw? Sounds like your BF is getting a raw deal. :D I must admit that I was impressed by her vast collection of songs and styles she played along with a good backing band. But again, I was amazed she did 2 hours. I was expecting and hour and 15 or and hour and a half, max!

    There are plenty of far hotter celebrities to choose from.

    hahahahaa...um, yeah I totally flubbed that one - my bf and i have this thing where we name celebrities (since the chances of us being called on it is slim) that we could have an affair with without any repercussions...a list of three, is what we have. Mine are: Barry Pepper, Layne Staley (yeah, after I invent a time machine, or a re-animation machine) and Johnny Depp (tho I am thinking of changing that to HBC) His are: Natalie Merchant, Angelina Jolie, and Selma Hayak (sp??) -so now, who got a raw deal?? :D

    My ultimate song of Natalie Merchant is "Jealousy" but i also LOVE Carnival...

    Yeah, I figured that's what you meant. My gf and my list are ever changing. For the time being mine are Minnie Driver, Tea Leoni, and Eva Mendes. You need to get three live folks on your list or you're definitely getting the raw deal! As to Merchant, she opened with Carnival and closed with Thank You. I would give anyone a large sum of money if they could get either of those out of my head!!! Although it is better than the same 6 Randy Newman songs they kept playing for over an hour before she took the stage! I'm sorry, but when I hear him sing "You Can Leave You Hat On" I'm thinking the ladies are gonna be leaving a lot more than their hat on around you, fucker!
