I thought the Aliens were supposed to probe us?! I found this sitting by a pile of trash on the side of the street a few years back. I actually went to high school with these guys in the late 90's, but I won't name names. Somehow the photo wound up in a different town all together too. A glob of muck has shielded the identity of one of the rapists, luckily for him!
Here at PhoneyFresh I share my weirdo interests, including (but not limited to): Garage sale and dumpster treasures, vintage magazine innards, glorious VHS trash, forgotten LP covers, self help schlock, vexing vixens, my kitschy kollekshuns and oh, so much more. Ninety-nine percent of the content you see here is from my own collection. Scanned by me, photographed by me, etc. No low-res Google search globby jpeg junk here folks! Dig!

FOUND: John and I
I found this true life account of teen peril tucked into a "The Best of the Beau Brummels" record a few years ago.

FOUND: August 29, 1987
Found in a typewriter at a church rummage sale. This historical document recounts the world changing events that happened on the day of August 29th, 1987. Page two is a comprehensive list of the most important pop songs of all time. These are the documents the government doesn't want YOU to know exist! Eat your heart out WikiLeaks!

FOUND: Trash Picker and the Summons
Apparently in the days of yore, record album sleeves were a great place to stash stuff. On many occasions I have found things like documents, photos, letters, and even a Mary Wanna roach nestled in the gatefold of Led Zeppelin II. I do suppose that they are a perfect place to keep documents safe and flat, as long as you remember just what album you placed that all so important Dear John letter into.
Here we have what appears to be a photo of a man rifling through a trash barrel dated March of 1977 and a Court summons for intoxication dated July of '77. Are these events related in some way? Why did this person feel it necessary to preserve these for future generations inside an Elvis album sleeve? The world may never know (or care).

FOUND: Computer Fun!
For a couple years now, I've been collecting what are called "found" items. Things like photos, notes, grocery lists etc. that are found on the street, at thrift stores, in the trash and other places normal people avoid. I'm gonna start sharing these beauties here for you all to enjoy!
Here's my most recent find, a photo I call "Computer Fun". Judging by the boxiness of the computer, the floppy disks on the desk and the clothes on these kids this is most likely late 80's to early 90's. I wonder what they're playing? Mom wonders too. "My turn! My turn!"
