I dream there is a lover who will know that I'm faking.

OK, I will share a secret. I first got online via AOL. I am so ashamed.

posted by madamjujujive 30 July | 17:51

Wow. So far I like I masturbate to photos of civil war soldiers.

Why is that so hot?

Oh, now it got sad. But good link still.

Cool link. My secret is that I'm posting this to MeFi on Aug. 1 to get that $25 prize.

Yeah, it got too sad to read, although an excellent post.
On preview, doohickie sucks and beat me to it.

Not to burst anyone's bubble, but it would be at least a triple MeFi post. :(

I really teared up at a few of them. And the amount of time some people put into making their postcards is incredible - some are so beautiful.

great stuff--empowering and sad and ...

I just had kosher salami for the first time. It's good, but not as good as genoa.

posted by jonmc 30 July | 18:53

Make it a postcard and send it in, jon.

posted by interrobang 30 July | 18:57

should I tape the butt end of the salami to the postcard? It'll be pretty gamey by the time it arrives.

posted by jonmc 30 July | 19:10

No, just draw a real haunting picture of an Orthodox Jew and cut out some typewritten text concerning your salami secret.

Should I draw a laughing Genoese twirling his moustache behind him?

posted by jonmc 30 July | 19:16

This sort of question is best left up to the individual artist, jon.

I'm a sucker for this blog. My favorite (I'm not sure if it's still up) said: "I left a man who called me darling when we made love for a man who calls me slut when we fuck." There was something perfect about that as a secret.

People's secret are so fucking scary. Also, metachat is way better than metafilter

site's updated - man, i can't get over these.

posted by puke & cry 31 July | 01:37

These are so cool that I went back and looked again. I have a sneaking suspicion that a lot of them are being done by the same person. I guess there's not anything wrong with that? But. . compare this one with this one or this one. The technique is identical. And then the phrasing in a lot of them is kind of eerily similar, and there aren't any spelling mistakes.

I guess I just have trouble believing that that many people would work this hard on their postcards: everyone isn't an artist. Or maybe I'm just mean and cynical, I don't know. They're still beautiful.
