Where's Durden?

[Frank Giaramita]

Here's a cool little contest: If you can find the words "Forgive Durden (http://www.forgivedurden.com)" in the band's cover artwork (http://www.absolutepunk.net/gallery/showimage.php?i=7809), I'll give you some sort of prize. It's harder than "Where's Waldo?" but you can do it.

Note: Post your answers in the replies. The first one to post the correct answer wins (obviously).

Oh Shit I See It

Teh Closeest Sidewalk Writing

or, i think so, its hard to tell.

[Frank Giaramita]

Since I just got about 50 IMs about this. Here's the ONLY hint I am giving:

This is like one of those I-Spy books... remember those?

[weworemasks]

What do I win??
WINNER!!!!

[jfb392]

It looks like it's on the side of the green building.

[lanolynn]

is it in the electrical wires toward the back

[ForlrnPerplxity]

There really isn't Forgive Durden in there and you're making us spend wasteless hours trying to find it. What do I win?

[rainraindown]

man im just fed up of lookin at the damn thing now, just tell us where it is!

[Save my day]

This. (http://www.thepounder.com/mash.html)

[phaedrus]

the f is in the lampost, the o is that white deal, the r is in the electrical wires, the g is the back arrow, the i is in the building, the v is on the bus, the e is the fire excape on the right

the d is in the park sign, i dont know where the urd is, the e is the fire ecape on the left, the n is next to it

am i close?

[ForlrnPerplxity]

This. (http://www.thepounder.com/mash.html)
haha damn, i dunno why, but i clicked that out of curiosity. guess i deserved that.

[Save my day]

the f is in the lampost, the o is that white deal, the r is in the electrical wires, the g is the back arrow, the i is in the building, the v is on the bus, the e is the fire excape on the right

the d is in the park sign, i dont know where the urd is, the e is the fire ecape on the left, the n is next to it

am i close?
and the u is in the park sign, the r in the sign on the side of the bus, and the d is either in the wonderland sign or the mottom left hand corner of the bus,.

Do i win?

[golly_sandra]

the f is in the lampost, the o is that white deal, the r is in the electrical wires, the g is the back arrow, the i is in the building, the v is on the bus, the e is the fire excape on the right

the d is in the park sign, i dont know where the urd is, the e is the fire ecape on the left, the n is next to it

am i close?
That's soo what I was aiming for too, but I didn't think much about it. I think you're on the right track.

[suchacreep]

there's a lot of possible f's! ahh

[Neo Cassady]

there's a D and an F in the building in the back center

[merv the perv]

If the letters are all spread out, that's pretty stupid.

[phaedrus]

the thing is by doing what i did i cold find any word in it, but there also isnt anything hidden, so i dont know

[phaedrus]

wait the d is the crosswalk sign with the briefcase

and all of durden is on the left side between the crosswalk and the lightpole i am sure of it

[BetsyXcore]

yeah, i demand to know if the words are together or if the letters are all separated.

[ForlrnPerplxity]

yeah, i demand to know if the words are together or if the letters are all separated.
that would definitely make it easier.

[bitterhalo]

i actually think it might have something to do with all the arrows pointing around. the first 2 arrows most obviously on the wonderland sign point down towarsd a shadow ont he wall and that looks like an F, i'm not sure about hte rest of it

[The_New_Cancer]

I've been staring at that damn thing for twenty minutes and I can't see ANY letters but 'D':dry:

i was wondering if the arrows had anything to do with it, but i can't figure out what if they do.

[MyTimeTillDyin]

lame

[sparkedcreation]

the building in the back thats orange...you can almost make out every letter with just the corsses in it

[Grybo]

f = smoke stack/clouds in back
o = on the left of the hood of grey car in back
r = wires in back
g = whit sign thing in back
i = smoek stack/cloud in back
v = upside down. the thing next to the water tank on top of orange building
e = the shadow inbetween the 2 orange buildings in back
D = greyish looking thing under orange building
u = part of side of green building
r = side of bus
d = greyish/green building on its side
e = white building balconys on the right
n = arc over left top window on tan building far righ/bottom


but theres seriously so many different letters if its spread out.

or you could just say that durden is all near the crosswalk/lampost and that durden is in the orange building

[spagator]

frank said to find the WORDS. it would be lame if the letters were just randomly scattered throughout the picture.

[Joe DeAndrea]

In the two yellow buildings in the back?

[taroshoes]

There's a "G" in the clounds

[tymsnurmn04]

or the teeth of that face at the end of the steet.

Big stretch now.

[shes.a.ghost]

there is a very obvious white G in the center of the picture, on the bottom left corner of the yellow buildings.

[Grybo]

it goes throughout all of the buildings

or its in the orange and green buildings

[Grybo]

in the windows or in the clouds.
ive spent an hour on this
night.

[ActorInThisPlay]

there are way too many "possible" letters on this...if it is spread out then it could honestly be anywhere.

[ForeverInADay]

I see what you're saying.


Who was closest so far? And where the fuck is it?


Best album art so far this year, creative (with the bands name being scattered about)

[ForeverInADay]

the f is in the lampost, the o is that white deal, the r is in the electrical wires, the g is the back arrow, the i is in the building, the v is on the bus, the e is the fire excape on the right

the d is in the park sign, i dont know where the urd is, the e is the fire ecape on the left, the n is next to it

am i close?
its what i thought when looking at it, the Forgive part I mean, the Durden I was way off on though.

[vwcorrado17]

is it like one of those magic eyes thing where you have to make yourself cross-eyed to see it...cause i could never do those

[Garett Press]

I'm going blind doing this but I think it has to do with the dark shadings, if you squint or move towards and away from it, you just have to see it right. I dk.

[Grybo]

we are all going to need surgery on our retinas after staring at the comp. screen for such as long period of time. well i know i am

[JohnnyG]

I have no idea where this is. Watch it be right under all of our noses

[Spiffysthebest]

Upper case or lower case?

I really want to find this just cause it seems like I may have a chance cause everyone else seems to be nowhere.
Frank's probably gone to bed. We'll be up all night & end up with the weirdest things & he'll be like, what? it's right there!

[Grybo]

i converted it to b&w for anybody who thinks it may be easier.12038

[Grybo]

its in the word wonderland

[LPMagic]

I bet if we were high, we could see it.

[irthesteve]

damn... this is hard

[Grybo]

its shit like this that drives people into depression

[irthesteve]

all you have to do is flip the wonderland sign over and it says forgive durden

[shes.a.ghost]

I found it!!!

[life101]

[tymsnurmn04]

Judges?

[Neo Cassady]

[irthesteve]

it's WONDERLAND upside down! I WIN!!!!!!!


too bad i already said it

[Speyside]

the fuck? i flipped it over and i'm not seeing it.
Ditto

[dubey]

too bad i already said it
grybo did actually but if Wonderland upside down is Forgive Durden consider my mind blown.

[life101]

all you have to do is flip the wonderland sign over and it says forgive durden

i was typing as yours was posted, we were a minue apart and you said "over" i said "upside down." i win

[irthesteve]

grybo did actually but if Wonderland upside down is Forgive Durden consider my mind blown.

well, he said it's "in the word wonderland"... kinda vague, like saying that it is "in the picture" if he actually knew where it was he would obviously point out the key fact that you have to flip it

[Neo Cassady]

i was typing as yours was posted, we were a minue apart and you said "over" i said "upside down." i win
you should probably type faster next time.



edit: i still don't see it.

[irthesteve]

i was typing as yours was posted, we were a minue apart and you said "over" i said "upside down." i win
"flip the sign over" = "upside down"

i still win

[tymsnurmn04]

i was typing as yours was posted, we were a minue apart and you said "over" i said "upside down." i win
Chill out, you probably win the 5 Thrice messenger bags they had layin around.

[shes.a.ghost]

i was typing as yours was posted, we were a minue apart and you said "over" i said "upside down." i win

if that is the right answer, which I cant see it, then... you still lose. even if he was less than a minute before you

[dubey]

do you want to trace over what you see in MS paint or something?

[irthesteve]

Here's a cool little contest: If you can find the words "Forgive Durden (http://www.forgivedurden.com)" in the band's cover artwork (http://www.absolutepunk.net/gallery/showimage.php?i=7809), I'll give you some sort of prize. It's harder than "Where's Waldo?" but you can do it.

[Grybo]

well, he said it's "in the word wonderland"... kinda vague, like saying that it is "in the picture" if he actually knew where it was he would obviously point out the key fact that you have to flip it
vague shmague.

[Spiffysthebest]

I don't think that's it, I can't see it...
I imagine it to be something where somebody points it out & we all go "oh! there it is!" and are enlightened.

[Grybo]

i will fight

[irthesteve]

vague shmague.
don't even try to say you knew it had to be flipped... you woulda said it if you did
