[snail mail time] silverladder postcard

:O Lucky!

I want one!


Oh snaps I changed my address.

I hope my parents don't get the card and are like "What kind of fetish is our son getting into?"

First off, yes, I know I had a vow of silence, but I think I can afford to break it for this. I got a postcard too. Will scan when scanner gets hooked up (lol it seems that no one plugs in scanners).
On the front of it, handwritten and small (hidden, perhaps?) is a number 4.
Also, mine has a red dot and has this handwritten on it:

Holy crap, there's a pattern even there. Mine clearly isn't new and is also in a fifties style. It's 3 elderly sausage chefs at work. It advertises the Amana, Iowa Meat Shop. lol It even comes with a terrible pun: "Remember: 'Our Bratwurst is the BRATBEST!'"

But there seems to be a pattern here, as I said before: Three people, meat, and a color (ours being red).

This is a message. Each message is fragmented into these old postcards and ordered by slightly hidden numbers. This much we obviously know.

Here's my theory:
Say there is more than one message. This is where the color code comes in. Ours is the red message. Lets say there are at least five. All postcards, and all with red dots.
Perhaps in the future there will be a number of postcards with green dots that spell out another message.
Mine would be Red 4.
Later on there could be a green 4, reading something different, that connects with a green 5.

Long story short (too late), there are our red cards, which group together, and, later, perhaps another group of, say, green cards that don't connect with the red cards, but form their own group.

Nikki got a postcard but she is too busy at the moment to post so I am posting her scans of them.

Okeydokey. Other than the fact that the front of the postcard consists of three panels, the whole three people pattern is gone. Also, the meat theme seems to have disappeared as well. However, the card itself appears old (and probably is) which keeps to that particular style.
The number on the front expands our message a bit:

Alright, I got 5 min to post.

1. Am I really the only one with thier scanner continuously hooked up?

2. Did anyone actually read the text that came pre-printed on my card?

[teh_lisa]

Ok I looked up the cards, like I said before, and the theme is the collection I believe. They are all ads for some old products, the first 2 had meat and nikki's had poop that needs softening (from eating too much meats I bet). The cards all came from the same book I bet, due to their perforated edge.

[Chronus_Valtiel]

I never really did read the printed text lol. That's the good ol' days for ya.
And yes, Nikki, you are the only one who uses her scanner.

I wouldn't worry too much about the areas printed on the postcards, but noting them wouldn't hurt.

I think the focus so far is pretty much solely on what our messenger wrote on the cards.

Okay, so I got one, too. Mine's the best, just so you know....
So, the front has a picture of an old man in a mud bath. The caption on the back just reads "Taking a mud bath at the famous Hot Springs in Calistoga, California." Underneath it has a red circle and a red square that was done with a marker. Also, handwritten, is says

So far, in order, we have:

If the sum of has dots in front of it that makes me think it isnt the beginning of a sentence maybe
