Title: Hoax or Real?
Post by: Jerry Moran on November 17, 2010, 03:48:36 AM
I received this on November 6.  The return address is the Main Library.  There is no "M. White" on the staff.  A Google of the surrounding advertisements came back with the Miami Herald Classified for that time period. 

Anyone recognize the handwriting?  Maybe a redheaded gnome with a severe blogging addiction?

That's pretty damn funny...

Come on Jerry, if we can't laugh at ourselves sometimes life's pretty boring, right?  ;D

Whoever sent it must also have bribed the post office.  That stamp is $.02 short.  The plot thickens...

They forgot Free Range Chickens and wild mushrooms!!   Win-Dixie shopping cart grills!  HUGE bonfires by the bus station.
And best of all...a whole Park View Inn conveniently located within walking distance of all shelters and parks.
We got it all.

Oh yes, the 24 x 7 bonfires downtown by the bus station. That is the most bizzare thing to see when you drive into downtown JAX.......a big bonfire surrounded by homeless in the core of the city.  I cant believe the city allows this, pathetic.....

suppose you're a police officer.  would you want to tell someöne who has fire at their disposal and nothing to lose that they need to disperse?  we all know JSO prefers easiër targets than that.

Seeing that vacant lot during our Two seasons is funny! They let it grow over in the summer, but the first cold snap it is trampled and burned down. I have seen 20' flames leaping off their little fire.

I'm just relieved that there was no white powder in the envelope.

You need to get that envelope carbon-dated immediately!

One theory is that it could be sent by someone from the past, I mean really in the past. 

Really, we are getting closer and closer to have the ability to travel through time (well not human-form but more like objects).

Who knows...

Since it came from the library, I was relieved there were no cooties in it.

Well it was definitely sent by a homeless person......you can tell by the loops in the "L" & "J" on the envelope, they scream homeless. Also, the person is too lazy to spell out Jacksonville.....anyone with a full time job would spell out Jacksonville.....
