I got up around 7:30 this morning and watched the movie "Derailed". I called my good friend "J Morgue" to see if he wanted to help me with the task. We set out about 9:15. I tried two or three different places, but no one could print and copy it correctly. I didn't have any success so I had to call Stephen to get a print out of the flyer and then I had the copies made around 10:26am. Since it was so close to Stephen's lunch break, we decided to eat at Ham's. We called Tyson and he showed up for lunch. Got done eating at 12:04pm, went straight to the truck and grabbed the flyers. Stephen had to head back to work, so Tyson agreed to accompany us. I thought I would spice things up by not only posting some on poles, but also putting them all over different things and handing them out to people. So the first person I came up on was a guy getting out of his car and I asked him if he would help me find my missing giraffe. After he got a good look at the flyer, I walked off as if nothing had ever been said. Trust me that I did not discriminate against anyone. If anyone walked by, they got a flyer. Old people, a hispanic, etc. I was determined to find Hopkin Brown. My favorite encounter was when a high school aged guy pulled up beside of me, with his stereo blasting. I handed him one and said that if he heard anything, I would appreciate it if he called us. In no particular order, we posted flyers in these various locations: Stop sign, pawn shop, back window of an SUV, in a newspaper stand, on the door at Harris Teeter, on a dumpster, on the front of a construction truck, Jayson's back, and my personal favorite: in the suction tube in the Bank of America drive thru. When I walked up to the drive thru, the lady at the window asked me if she could help me. I asked her if she could help me by putting a flyer up for my missing pet. She said, "Oh my god, that's awful". Then she told me to send it on in, so I put it in the tube and walked off.
When I first heard about it, I thought it was hillarious. I had a blast and look forward to more tasks of equal quality. Here are some pics from my cellphone that show the receipt from where I made the copies and several places where I put up the flyers.
